In the activity last week I took away that nobody is alone in anything that they are dealing with, and that the people in this class are some of the least judgmental and most open people I have ever met. The activity was powerful even though nobody was talking and it will change how I view new people that come into my life in the future because you never truly know what they have been through.

I visited the office hours for the TA of my statistics class. I asked questions about the upcoming final and other exams . I learned they are cumulative. I also learned more information about the math labs. I asked her why she loved math so much and decided to teach and continue to study it. She said it has always come easily to her and she works better with numbers compared to other subjects.

Some stress management things that I will be doing with finals coming up are yoga/working out when I can, as well as spending down time with my friends and family because It gets my mind off of school and stress. Lastly, I will be taking time to make sure I get to sleep at a reasonable hour. I will make sure to remind myself that it is important to allow yourself to de stress so you don’t get sick or overwhelm yourself with work. Self care is very important because it allows someone to have a balance in their life. It allows you to be the happiest/ healthiest you can be. Deep breathe everyone! Finals will be over soon! 

One goal I have is to put more money away into savings. When the semester starts I work very little so that I have time to focus on school. This means I get to put very little away into savings. So over winter break I want to put a lot more away into savings and hopefully plan my time next semester so I can work at least a few more hours.

When the source is credible we can infer several things. First that what we are reading or seeing is true with little to no bias, it is written by someone who had checked their facts and is experienced in the field they are writing in. Things that consider to a credible source is like I said little to no bias involved. The source could also be peer reviewed by other scholars in the field. The source may be published in an academic journal. All of these factors could contribute to a credible source. 

I’m not exactly sure what I want to do after graduation. I am a psychology major and I want to go into the psychology field. Whether it be therapy, social work, or one of the other many jobs. Like I said I’m not sure yet, I just know I want to help people that deal with mental illness, or people who are just in difficult like situations. for my extra cirriculars  I really like volunteering which helps me with my people skills and being more outgoing when in social situations. I also work with children of ages from 3 months to 7 years old. This helps me learn how to communicate with kids of all ages and get to see how they interact with adults, and their peers.

My two top learning styles are Thinking and doing. The doing really matches up with my note taking and studying skills. I like to re write things multiple times especially math. This just helps me remember the information that I am reciting again and again and again and again lol. 

My personality type was ISFJ-A or the defender. The website described me fairly well although I thought some of the explanations were broad. The career path matched up with what I want to do and matched up with my major which was very reassuring moving forward with classes. I find myself to be pretty self aware of my personality and I have taken this test before in the past and my results were the same.
