Happy National Coffee Day!!

This week we were asked to pick between the two prompts called "Ask somebody to coffee. Afterward, write down everything you remember about the conversation." and "Make a phone call. Diagram the conversation." I did not find this weeks prompts as challenging as I usually do but I did find them both intriguing. I felt as if I could easily answer both this week but I chose the prompt, "Ask somebody to coffee."

Here at UPJ I am the president of a club on campus that I will keep unnamed for the sole fact that I like the anonymity of it. Also, I feel the need to keep things a bit private because I do not want people knowing what my advisor and I discuss regarding the club. If anyone has seen the corresponding Instagram post then you may have noticed it is not very detailed. I did that on purpose because if the world was meant to know the details then the world would have been invited to coffee as well.

Anyway, this was my first coffee date I have ever been on so I was excited! Plus it was on my birthday which made it even better! (I'm always in a good mood on my birthday, who isn't?) But that morning everything seemed to go wrong. I woke up late and was late to my coffee date. You could imagine how bad I felt but my advisor was super nice and pushed it back. My first coffee date was a huge success. 

I chose this prompt, because like many of my peers, I usually can't function without coffee in the morning. It has become part of my routine and when I don't have a cup of it in my hand things just feel thrown off. I also chose this prompt for today because it is nation coffee day! So if you have not yet, you need to go get yourself a cup and sip it slowly and enjoy it!

Is it Really Plagiarism if it's Your Work?

This week we had three prompt options to choose from that included: "Make a poem out of newspaper headlines" or "Plagiarize yourself. Find an old piece of writing, cut it up, rearrange it, and past it here." or "Make a collage from items in your wastebasket [or steal scraps from someone else's wastebasket.]" This week I had a hard time choosing between all three of the prompts because they were all very intriguing. The prompt I ended up choosing to do was "Plagiarize yourself. Find an old piece of writing, cut it up, rearrange it, and past it here." I chose this prompt because I find it odd that one can plagiarize oneself but I guess it's possible and I wanted to try it for myself. I thought plagiarizing myself would be the easiest thing in the world. I was wrong. I found it more difficult than taking things offline and citing them. I did not want to break my own line of thinking in my original paper but for the sake of this prompt I ...

"What are you hoarding for yourself that could be shared with others?"

I find myself challenged with the prompts every week. I found this weeks prompts, "What are you hoarding for yourself that could be shared with others?" and "Who do you feel are your competitors? Could you turn them into collaborators? How?" to be the most challenging so far. The prompt I chose to do was "What are you hoarding for yourself that could be shared with others?" I did not write anything long or elaborate on this page because I find myself keeping what I wrote on this page to myself often. I wrote four words on this page, "My thoughts or feelings."  Growing up I was always afraid to speak out in fear of being rejected even though my dad always told me to stand up for what I believe in even if no one else does. It has always bothered me that I always kept quiet because some conversations I have been apart of in high school would really fire me up. Instead of saying anything I would simply nod or say, "alright" and walk...

I was a Mother at 18.

This week we had the option to choose between two prompts: "Make up a really good lie about yourself to tell a stranger. Invent a story to back it up." or "Make a mixtape for someone who doesn't know you." As usual, I found both prompts intriguing and I am interested to hear the different mixtapes people made if anyone in class chose that prompt, but I chose the prompt "Make up a really good lie to tell a stranger. Invent a story to back it up." My lie is, I was a mother at 18. At 18, you think you know everything. You tell your parents, "I'm legally an adult, you can't tell me what to do!" If it is not that then it is something similar. You think you are your own boss and are mature enough to make your own decisions. I also thought this at 18, or at least I did until I was forced to make decisions for someone other than myself. Someone who was helpless, who relied on me to care for them and have their best interests in mind. At...
