Wow, first and foremost I cannot believe I am writing my final blog. It is ridiculous that time truly does fade/fly away. I think for sure this class has helped me understand people more and gives me a better understanding of why people do what they do. As for my communication skills, they for sure have gotten a little better, and I feel more confident when speaking. As for the course objectives, I do think I have hit every one of those bullets. Whether it was through class, the assignments, or the blogs. My attitude has remained the same about social psychology. I still feel it is a key element because we interact with people every day, and it is important to understand people and be able to communicate. If I took the class again I probably would have interacted more in class and out of class. I have grown academically by creating my website and filling it with my life and experiences. Also, by gaining a further understanding of people and the ways they form ideas and actions. One skill would be the ability to create a website and form a portfolio. Another would be the ability to understand people and maybe help people and reason with them. I plan on becoming a police officer, and that is a social job, and it is important to reason and understand the people you are talking to. Create bonds with people/communities and truly help people and care for them.
Representative Visual Image:
These two images represent my time in this class and how I grew up in this class. I learned a lot about people and the reasoning behind their decisions. I also learned about myself and where I am in life and where I want to be. I have to figure out what I want and learn from experiences and put myself out there and just do it. Sometimes you go through phases in life and question yourself and your self-esteem. There are times when you fail, and you feel like a loser, but you have to realize that the mind of a perfectionist is always in pain. I cannot put so much pressure on myself and be free and live a little. Maybe then I will accomplish major things in life. I have to figure myself out before moving myself anywhere.
P.S Thank you Misty for taking your time to help Professor Muth and get our grades in much appreciated. Best of Luck throughout grad school!
