A Fun Day

          Today was a fun day at SCSU. The Residence Life threw a Carnival Extravaganza on the West Campus Quad. There was a lot to do there I think that I made it to everything. When you are walking over to the carnival you could hear the music being played by a DJ. Then you look out and there is a giant bounce house which was very fun. There were also booths where you could play games at and win silly little toys. I won a few of them. They also had all kinds of food. They had everything from fried dough to hot-dogs and hamburgers. The best part was the desserts like cotton candy and ice pops.  I had a fun day it was a way to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon. This was a good event at SCSU because it kept us freshman busy, out meeting new people, and exploring.

What it is to me

            When you hear a word you know what it means, you do that without thinking about it. If I had to tell you a definition of inquiry I would say it is asking questions to get a better understanding of some things or the willingness to want to get a better understanding of something you do not know. If I had to apply this to my own life I would say that I ask questions a lot then I can get a better understanding of something so I know what I am talking about. I think that this is going to be important in this class because I feel like this is the class I am going to ask a lot of questions in or it is going to make us questions about things that we are going to learn.

The two words that stick out for what we talked about in class were freedom and time management. I think that these words go together especially when you are talking about freshman. Freedom means to be able to do want you want without someone telling you not to or having to ask permission to do something. The word time management means knowing how much time you have to do something and that if you do not do it you will run out of time to finish it. I think that is how must people will get into trouble is when they take their freedom to far and do not use their time management at all. You just have to find the happy middle.

Stay Happy

                You cannot just look at one blog, you have to look at many different ones to see what you might like yours to be like. I looked at the funny ones witch were pretty funny and then there where the ones that I did not find to be that funny.  I found some that would give you advise about life … I do not know if I would listen to them all. I found one blog that I think I would like my blog to be like.  This blog has a happy, positive tone to it and I like that. I would like my blog to have that same tone to it.  I am going to try to make my blogs about school and all the good things about it. I would want someone to read my blog and say I have felt that way or I know what she means by that. I do not want people to read it and think that has nothing to do with my life. I want it to be about what is going on in the life a freshman in college because I think that we all have some of the same thoughts about it. My goal is for this blog is to stay happy and positive at all time.  If someone is having a bad day they can look at my blog and be happy to know that someone else is feeling the same way that they do not have to be having a bad day just because of something that did not go your way. I hope this will just be something easy to read and that you will like it. I am going to make this to help remind myself that I should stay happy and positive about things in my life. It is more fun to be happy and then not!

 

Outside the confront zone

College to me is a new start. It is where I am no longer in the confront zone that I have been in for the last 19 years of my life. I am happy that I am going to college because it means that I have accomplished the first chapter of my life, that now I am really going into adulthood.  I need to see that if I want to go out and have fun I have to get all of my work done or I choose not go out.  When I think about now in my life I think that I am where I should be at SCSU where the professor’s care about what they are teaching. I will learn a lot at SCSU I think it will take what I know now and explain it and show me that I know more then I think. The next four years at this college will get me ready for my future when I am out of college and looking for a job.  At least that is what I am hoping for. When I think about college I think about all the work that comes with being a first year student.  What if I fail all of my classes because I did not balance my time but then I think the what if college is just what I need to show myself that I can do anything that I set my mind to. My goal for this year is to just remember that I can make it. When I look at all of my syllabus’ I realize that we do not have a lot of time in class but we have time outside of class where I need to make sure I am doing what is asked of me to be ready for the next class. That is also the complete opposite of high school where you had all the time in class to do work and only sometimes had homework to do.  I am happy with a new start and being out of my comfort zone.
