Feedback Thoughts

I think feedback is an important part of learning. I know for myself if I do not have the opportunity to correct my mistakes, I often do not go back and do it on my own. We have an education system that is linked to learning for the upcoming test and then reviewing for the final. Often times, the gap in between those two tests has a brain dump and you forget. I appreciate when I get the opportunity to work through what I got wrong or what I didn't do correctly.

My first article was "Why Rejection Hurts So Bad" by Guy Winch. I thought this was interesting because I struggle a lot with feelings of inadequacy. I appreciated his break down of the psychology behind it. I think that many people attribute rejection to internal factors like "I'm not good enough" or "someone will always be the first choice". This was presented as a lie in the article. We tear ourselves down before we even get the chance to understand why the rejection happened.

My second article was "Seven Ways to Crush Self-Doubt" by John Spencer. He wrote by giving self examples. I admire that in a writer because it truly creates a bond between them and the reader. If you can present yourself completely to the reader, they have a trust for your words and your advice. He discussed a lot about changing our mindset and our routine to eliminate the option of self doubt. I appreciated the ideas because it allowed me to think and evaluate it as it is in my own life.

Introduction to Me

Hi! I am a junior at the University of Oklahoma. I am studying psychology with a health and exercise science minor. I love psychology because I think people are very interesting. I do not think people realize how similar they are to other people. I think studying psychology has helped me immensely learn how to work with and adapt to those around me both in personal relationships and in work relationships. Over my two years, I have taken some really interesting courses. I think my favorite so far has been social psychology because I think that there is a lot to be learned about those around us. However, my most challenging class was anatomy. I learned so much about the human body and how phenomenal it is that all of these parts work together to create and function us as human beings. As interesting as it was, it was an extremely difficult course. I was pushed to the point of stress I didn't even know I had. I am a better student because of anatomy but in the moment I was overly str...

Week Fourteen Story: Furies and Heretics

Dante's Divine Comedy translated by Tony Kline We had entered Cante 9. I heard my master saying something from behind me but I could not place it. I was distracted by a tall tower that reached far above me. I squinted trying to see better. Then, three furies flew down. They were stained with blood and holding a woman. But, she was not normal. She had green snakes coming from her scalp. They were tearing at her breast. She screamed mercilessly and attempted to swat them away. Suddenly their attention shifted towards me. They attempted to use Medusa in their attack towards me. My master told me to hide my eyes and turn my back. No matter what persuaded me otherwise. As she came towards us, there was a loud crash that shook both the banks. My master told me to focus on the mist. Only the mist. More than a thousand spirits scattered from the water. Amongst them was a Stygain ferry with dry feet. He waved the mist away with annoyance. I knew he was a messenger from Heaven. He walked to...
