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 Twelve Story: The Horned Women

The Horned Women by Joseph Jacobs There was a woman who lived in a cottage. She lived with her family and her staff. One night, after they had all gone to bed she stayed up preparing wool. It was a quiet night until she heard a knock. "Who is there?" she asked. "I am the Witch of One Horn" she answered. Assuming it was one of her neighbors in need of help, she answered the door. To her dismay, it was not a neighbor. A woman with a horn on her forehead entered the room. "Where are the others?" she grumbled "They always take so long". The homeowner was very confused. The witch had made herself at home. It was not long until she heard another knock on the door. Reluctantly she answered it. Standing outside was a woman with two horns on her forehead. The witch charged in to join her sister. Within the hour, ten more arrived. The last having twelve horns on her forehead. They had made a large circle in the room. They were spinning a thread on thei...
