After reviewing all of the assignments, and choose three that I learned from/ had fun doing, my first one from e-portfolio was ATA 2. This assignment, I was able to look at different images of myself and the different titles that I hold and how the pictures present can depict me as an individual. ATA 4 was one of my favorite assignments to do thus far , I was able to discuss my partner as well as answering the questionnaire that determines the different levels which I really found interesting. Lastly, Blog 8, this assignment really helped talk about ways that men and women can upset each other, many times we don’t realize these things and this assignment really helped me realize different ways that women upset men as well as how men easily upset women. I was unable to compare any of these assignments with other ones in my other classes because these assignments are not relevant in anyway to the other courses I currently take.

While reading, Sexual Conflict: Uncovering the Mysteries of the
Mating Battleground, one key point really stuck out to me and it read “men want to pair widely, whereas women prefer to pair wisely” this statement made me really think of scenarios with men who have multiple baby mothers and how females stick to wanting their kids to all have the same father, even though we know that sometimes it doesn’t always work like that. That brings me to answering the question on how men upset women, just from witness and some personal experiences, not keeping your word, infidelity, not listening, lack of effort all upset women, in some cases I’ve witnessed a the male in the couple simply say who they cheated with didn’t mean anything to them, it was just temporary. Men base their sexual relations simply on a temporary feeling majority of the time because its easy or being thrown at them and they can’t resist it. Women upset men by not tending to household duties, lying, infidelity, complaining, men look for women that take care of them like their mothers, someone they feel comfortable with in which they grew up with their watching their moms cook, clean and take care of everyone , when their women isn’t doing those things that could be an issue for the male, when a woman is complaining too much could also be an issue.

When we discuss Self Regulation and Emotional Intelligence, we don’t realize that they both go hand and hand with each other. Self Regulation is the ability to controls one’s actions being able to self management oneself, one’s emotions and their impulses. Emotional intelligence is the ability to be aware of our emotions and regulating those emotions, Emotional Intelligence to me is being aware of one’s emotional state and having control over their emotions. I display EQ when my boyfriend and I get into a disagreement, some would say I can be passive aggressive, needing to know every detail and going from zero to one hundred instantly, never anything in between so I know that I can improve my EQ a lot and work on minimising how quickly I go from zero to one hundred and try to find a in between balance.

Attractive Ad: I chose the Victoria Secret Ad because it is a woman under garment company that also sales loungewear, lingerie, and many other apparels. This brand is made for women of all shapes and sizes which makes this add attractive to the eye’s of the viewers. I chose this ad because when a viewer sees this, they see attractive models who are modeling underwear in which as the book’s states “suggest that if we buy their product, we too will be perceived as attractive.” This ad gives just that, attractive models in attractive undergarments that if we purchase, we could be considered the same.https://images.app.goo.gl/Kx4XQSuqjS62qHRS8
Creditable Ad: I chose everyone’s favorite place to shop TARGET! This ad is simple and clearly states the prices and what is expected in store which makes this ad trustworthy and communicates the same both in ad and in store. The ad is credible because we all know if we walk into target and pick up what is listed or read the signs and labels, those will be the exact prices. They know what they are referring too and the images and pricing is truly promoted.https://images.app.goo.gl/eKhvKcnpg8tdLWaZ8
Not Credible Ad: I chose the Flat Tummy Tea promotion ad. Flat Tummy Tea is a social media advertised tea that well as the package states makes your tummy flat. The factors that I believe contribute to this ad being not credible is simply due to the advertisement coming from individuals who are already small and petite with barely any tummy to lose, or simply the fact that this ad is coming for Kourtney Kardashian who we all know has always been a flat tummy, short , petite woman who would not need flat tummy tea nor be able to show us if the tea actually works. https://images.app.goo.gl/eKhvKcnpg8tdLWaZ8

From this process I learned that studying both the notes and the review sheet helped me alot in preparation for this test and it shows by the grade that I received which was better than I thought it would be. As I read through the chapters I highlighted and circle keywords and descriptions that would help me remember certain things and I would recite and rewrite the word over and over. Now , I am not the best note taker nor am I great at studying but I learned that colored notes word tremendous for me personally. In the future, I will continue to take notes as I did with this test and hopefully receive better or close grades as I did before.

I do believe that those with the same music interest are more attracted to each other. When people search for significant others, we all tend to look for certain interest and attributes that resemble ourselves. Music is a gateway to opening up conversation and common interest. My boyfriend and I have a lot of common interest from, foods, apparel, movie/shows, and of course music. We create each other playlist of songs with different genres to enjoy on car rides, cleaning, etc. I believe that we all seek people including our friends that share common interest because it’s easier to connect.
Geralynn’s Playlist
Mom : A Song For Mama x Boyz II Men
Brother / Sister : I Hope You Dance x Lee Ann Womack
Boyfriend : Candy Rain x Soul For Real
Bestfriend: My Main x Mila J
GodDaughter/GodSon: Lean on Me x Bill Withers
Life : Ain’t No Mountain High Enough X Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
I choose these songs because everytime I hear the lyrics or even the beat I automatically think of certain people. These songs make me so happy and I instantly think of those who are listed. These are all songs that just so happen to play whenever I am with them so I instantly associate it to them.

When I think about the student that I am, I would say I’m a huge procrastinator. Now, though some say that it is a bad thing, I enjoy the thrill of having to work under pressure, though I am not the procrastinator that literally waited an hour before an assignment is due but I am one that will wait until the day of to decide to actually do the assignment. Now, grade wise I’ve always received good grades no lower than a B but this semester has been kicking my butt a little.
My confidence level as a student this semester is low. I tend to get very overwhelmed sometimes when it comes to certain assignments and courses and I’m currently taking 4 courses that are all beating me up but I’m pushing through with the help of family and classmates. I struggle with studying and time management since I work two jobs, full time student, and constantly on the go. Finding some sort of balance when it comes to school and outside of school would help me feel more confident as a student.
When I completed the General Self Efficacy Scale (GSE) I scored a 37. A 37 is pretty high being that 40 was the max points. These results show that I can complete any task or obstacle thrown my way. Though I do procrastinate or have a horrible time management , I’m still capable of getting things done.

I enrolled in this course as a requirement for my minor in Psychology. Upon reviewing the syllabus and the course objectives, I hope to gain a better understanding on Social Psychology and how the environment of an individual affects their behavior. With this course, I do not know what to expect because just like any other course, it’s a learning experience. I want to be able to understand and get an indepth look into the way people think and how the environment around them causes them to think and react. The course outlines what we are expected to learn and guides us through the semester. My straigees for this course as well as all my other courses is staying on top of readings and assignments as well as proper note taking which will help me be able to remember and review what I’ve read.
