TA5

Our assignment for last week was probably my favorite “assignment” I have ever been given during my college career simply because it reminded myself and I’m sure all of my class mates as well to be kind to people. We often get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of life especially us college students that we just focus on ourselves and our goals when there is much more going on in the world around us. It was also a perfect assignment for the time of year, its the season of thankfulness, gratefulness, and giving because we all need to show a little compassion to others during this very busy holiday season. I loved this class because you can apply ANYTHING that we have learned from modules or the book to everyday life. With this assignment particularly I have challenged my friends and family to do the same throughout the holiday season to see if they actually feel like better people the same way I did and continue feel.

I have found a new mantra that I attached below and I think this will be my New Years Resolution!

Assignment four was probably my favorite simply because I love love. I didn’t realize that there were so many different types of love and what how they all play in together. Taking the quiz was super insightful it definitely made me question myself and who I am which is something I love to actually dig down and think about from time to time because I feel like we need to evaluate ourselves from time to time. In all of my psychology classes I feel that is where I have done the most self reflecting and where I have learned the most about myself, the kind of student, and person I am which is not just an academic lesson but also a life lesson which I feel are much more valuable. This assignment helped out in my relationship because I made my boyfriend take the quiz too and we saw where we were similar and different which was eye opening for us and our relationship and now we can better understand each other and how we love and how we need to be loved.

This was a very difficult assignment for me to complete simply because I could not fathom what was said in the video. I had to stop the video at multiple points to get up and walk away because I was so disgusted at it and with what he was saying. This partially could have been because I do not attend Standup Comedy Shows for this exact reason. They become crude , vulgar, and in the case completely disrespectful. I couldn’t imagine actually being in the audience having to witness that first hand. However the assignment made me really think because you asked two very in depth and very serious questions that should not be taken light heatedly . I do beleive that people say how they feel when they are under the influence of something and I’m assuming he was that night but just like when you have had a drink too many you start rambeling and say things that are deep down and sometimes yo didn’t know you even had those thoughts but it is still no excuse. You should never disrespect another human.

TA2.

I found assignment two to be quiet challenging honestly but how you may ask because after all if was just choosing pictures to describe yourself. Finding pictures to describe myself was challenging because I feel like there are just so many versions of myself crammed into one body because I do so much and have so many different hobbies, jobs, social groups etc. I feel like this assignment really made me stop and reflect on my life. I found pictures of people and memories  that I have forgotten all about so it was just like a trip down memory lane. It also got me thinking of how far I have come which is a very good thing! It was an eye opening assignment and a much needed one at that because it reminded me to slow down and smell the roses and that is something I believe everyone should do especially since we are coming into the Holiday Season.
