A Little Bit About Me

I think the better we know ourselves, the happier we can be and the better we can deal with the curve balls life throws us. This blog post is inspired by another's classmates blog in which she wrote 24 things about herself because she is about to turn 24.

5. I pride myself in being creative.
6. I served my mission in Nicaragua.
7. I'm number 5 of 7 children.
8. I have an adopted sister.
9. My parents are currently living in Thailand.
10. Christmas is my favorite holiday.
11. I worked at Walt Disney World this year.
12. I like dogs more than cats. 
13. I started my own a cappella group. 
14. I have a lazy eye.
15. I have never pierced my ears. 
16. I hate cilantro. 
17. I have GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease)
18. I'm afraid of bats.

Too Many Toys

Image
Kids these days have so many toys. My sister told me her kids have so many toys that they don't know which ones to play with so they sometimes don't play with any of them. Too many toys can be especially overwhelming for a toddler. If kids who are a little bit older get overwhelmed with their toys, however, they may beg to watch a movie or play on the ipad instead, and we all know too much of that can make kids hooked or obsessed. Perhaps parents get their kids so many toys because it's the first thing that comes to mind for birthday and Christmas gifts. But why not books instead? Or crafts? Or clothing? Maybe they start to build up too much clothing, too. So a better solution may be to give kids less gifts on birthdays and Christmas. I think back to when I was a kid and I got lots of gifts each birthday. But I also remember how ungrateful I was and how I threw a fit one year because I didn't think a tent was a nice enough gift for my "main gift". I think ...

Black Friday Shopping

Today is Thanksgiving. Tomorrow is Black Friday. What better time to express my opinion about Black Friday than today? Don't you find it strange that the day after Americans talk about how grateful they are for all they have, they go out shopping for more stuff? I find it rather ridiculous. Don't get me wrong; I understand people wanting to take advantage of a good deal on something they've been wanting to buy, but what I don't understand is people waiting in line for hours super early in the morning to get trampled by other shoppers in a rush to get one of a few on sale items. People have actually died in Black Friday stampedes! I can't believe people can get so aggressive competing for the chance to buy something (not even get something free) the day after Thanksgiving, or all days! It's madness. I don't see a problem with Cyber Monday. That you can comfortably do within the confines of your own home. I'm actually a big fan of online shopping becau...

Blogging Summary

Image
I enjoyed this blogging experience. This is the first time I've ever done a blog and it was fun to choose things I'm interested in to write about. I can be rather opinionated so I enjoyed have the chance to share my opinion as well. I was actually kind of surprised that I got so much positive feedback via comments from my classmates. I wrote about some topics that some people would probably strongly disagree with (Black Friday, for example). I also learned that poetry can be a very effective form of rhetorical writing. I do think I should have planned out my time better in order to read and comment on other classmates' blogs over time rather than all in one day. I enjoyed reading people's blogs and seeing the wide range of topics covered. I'm not always a fan of writing. Sometimes it can be hard to get started, but once I do, it can actually be kind of therapeutic. It gives me a chance to express my thoughts and feelings. I think as I have written throughout thi...
