My ePortfolio: LETTER dear sis, I am writing this to you for next semester, as you will be taking college writing I when you enter as a freshman. College writing does not sound fun and might seem a little scary going into it, but do not worry because you just have to make the time and split it up into tiny assignments. This class is a good way of open up your mind and see things for what they really are. During writing, you will learn to trust yourself with your writing. In high school you would just turn in whatever you had done, not even giving it a second look, but here you will hand in a paper that you put the dedication and effort in. Peer editing is a big thing in this class, so you can get a better understanding on what your peers and your audience you are writing to like and think of your paper, as well as being able to feel proud on what you hand in. I am excited for you coming next year. Have fun! REFLECTION When I first started this class, I saw what we had t

First Year In College

Image
Final are next week, so stressful! My first year in college it almost over, I feel like I have progressed so much over this school year. When I first stated college I had no idea what to expect. In high there was not a lot of homework and everyone around was pretty much the same, they shared the same religion, the same views, the same culture. Here at Lewis, that all changed, I love being surrounded by diversity, since where I am from there was none of that. I created new friendships that will last and learned new things about me as a independent person. I will not lie college is an adjustment that you need to find a balance quickly, coming to study and swim was a big stresser, I always felt out of time. But the challenges I faced and the achievements I made have been worth my time here. College has taught me a lot and I hope to continue learning new things that will help me know me better and know the outside world better. Overall freshmen was enlightening and I can not wait to s

I Feel Pretty

Yesterday I went saw the movie "I Feel Pretty". I personally thought it was a good movie because it had a little bit of everything from funny puns to sending an important message to society of what is actually means to be beautiful. I thought the message was presented in a good way that relates to the people of average lifestyle. The main character was an average woman, nothing special trying to fit into the beauty world, but knew she would never make it because of the way she looked and her body size and shape. Until one day she was granted what she wanted, to be and feel pretty and it was fun for her, but then she realized that looks are not everything, people do not always care what is on the outside, and after realizing that she found her own confidence and embraced and appreciated for who she was. I thought it was a good movie choice since I am writing an essay on body shaming in society and went well with it. It open new ideas for my essay, on both sides of the topic

Why I chose My Major

When coming into Lewis University, I chose the major of Business Administration for myself for various reasons. I first had considered business as my major because of the fact that it is so diverse. What I mean by that is having a business degree can help land you most job,which in my case sounded really good since I did not know actually what I wanted to do, but knew I wanted to be involved with what went on in society. I thought business was kind of perfect because in multiple ways I can help people within the economy. Another reason along with helping people is being educated on how the world works, I love knowing learning the simple things in life, like doing taxes, it is always useful knowledge to have into adulthood. I am only a freshman in college and someday I think if I have chosen the right major for me, but other days I am glad I chose business because of the possibilities it brings. But who knows what the future holds, maybe I will change and find a better degree that I am

Yoga Time!

Image
https://depositphotos.com/114527676/stock-illustration-namaste-hand-drawn-lettering.html   This weekend I attended a yoga class, I have to say I really enjoyed it. It was awkward at first because I did not know any of the moves and comfortable doing them with strangers all around thinking they were judging me. Turns out yoga is a place where judgment is not welcomed and you go at the rate you are comfortable at, not worrying what other people are doing. Before this class I did not know much of yoga just that it was like a form of meditation or something, but it is actually a way to relax and focus on you r mind, body, and spirit. After attending I felt so relaxed and at peace and confident about me as a person. I found out that yoga is a great way to de-stress and find peace while still getting a good core strengthening work out. Highly recommenced checking out a yoga class for yourselves, which Lewis offers classes on Mondays and Thursdays at 1pm.

Stress

Stress is everywhere. Being a freshman in college is especially stressful. In today's society people are losing sleep, not eating, and reporting more mental illnesses that fifty years ago because of stress. Why do we stress? Because we feel like the pressures of the world are on our shoulders. As a student I have stress over the worries about getting good grades and trying to make the right decisions to make my future bright. As a society we have stress over standards to live the perfect life and to fit in. Stress is sometimes a good thing, in little doses, but too much and it starts causing problems. Stress can lead to high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and eating disorders. Not good stuff. Since spring is starting and finals are just around the corner, it is the perfect time to manage and help control the stress in our lives. Thing to try that have helped me are being active because when being active it release endorphins in the brain that send little do

Why I swim?

I started swimming around 11 years ago. One summer I decided to join a local YMCA swim team and fell in love with the how accepting the team was and the competition, with the fact that swimming is considered a team sport, but at the same time can compete individually. Going swimming was my favorite part of my day. I loved everything about it, the way it made me feel when I would exercise, on how it would get rid of the stress that was inside, it would just disappear. Along with noticing a difference in my mood when I did compared to when I did not swim.  At the same time, while swimming I felt relaxed and had comfort. It is proven that swimming has multiple benefits on the body and mind. The obvious one, being it helps keeps the body in shape, but it does much more than that, it is a high intensity as well as a low impact sport, meaning it less harsh on the joints and pounding with the body's weight hitting the ground. swimming also is calming to the mind, as being surround by
