"Small Town Girl with Big Dreams"

This week we had the option between the two prompts titled, "10 things I probably think about more than the average person" or "Describe what you do in six words." I really like this week's prompts and can answer both but I do not feel comfortable sharing with the world what I think about more than usual. Therefore this week's chosen prompt is, "Describe what you do in six words."

Once I chose this prompt I immediately thought of my social media bios. I try to get creative with them since people tend to go read them and base first impressions and judgements about who you are as a person off of them first before actually meeting you face to face in today's society.
 

I am private on all of my personal social media accounts except for my accounts I have for my classes, those ones are public. Being private means that most of my information is not accessible unless you follow me and all that can be seen is my name and bio. The bio I chose to use for this prompt was my personal twitter bio. It reads, "Small town girl with big dreams," and coincidentally happened to be six words.
 

I think these six words describe me perfectly. I come from a small town that few know the location of and do things people never would expect. I have competed in cheerleading at a national level twice since coming to college. I love to travel and have lived in Florida the past three summers which surprises some since I am super family orientated. I am a certified scuba diver that plans to continue on with gaining her certifications. This is surprising because the last time my family took a vacation to the beach was when I was young and in second grade and I do not even remember stepping foot onto the beach. Other than that I would go on vacations with friends that were kind enough to take me.
 

My big dreams can sometimes be hard to process because, I will admit they can be unrealistic, but I think everyone should dream big. I hope to one day have five children. Yes you read that right, FIVE children. I also hope to have five dogs, live on an island, have a farm house, and write a book. I know some of these conflict with one another but they're my dreams and no one can tell me what I'm allowed to dream, no matter how big or crazy or ridiculous those dreams may be to someone else.

Favorite Method(s) of Procrastination

This week we had the option to pick between the two prompts titled, "Describe your favorite method of procrastination. Can you come up with a more productive one?" or "Chart your latest project against this shape. In what ways does it match? In what ways does it differ?" As per usual, both prompts sparked my interest but when it came down to picking one I chose the one titled, "Describe your favorite method of procrastination. Can you come up with a more productive one?" One of my most common methods of procrastination, like many of my peers, is my phone. Social media, texting, and music are my main problems when it comes to turning to my phone instead of my schoolwork or whatever else I am supposed to be doing. I would say my next most common method is food. When I am working on something I am constantly thinking about everything in my kitchen cupboards and refrigerator. I am constantly snacking and it drives me crazy. I should probably weigh like 50...

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words or Sometimes About 40.

This week we were asked to pick from two prompts titled, "Write a fan letter" or "What are the secrets of your trade? What would you lose by sharing them? What would you gain?" Instead of picking between the two prompts suggested I chose the prompt titled, "Pictures can say whatever we want them to say. (Come up with your own captions.)" This page shows six columns. The first three are triangles and the last three are circles. I answered the first row then had two friends answer the next two rows. The two friends I had answer the bottom two rows are engineers and I think some of their answers help show that. I found when I asked them to answer all they could think of were math equations used to solve for triangles and circles. I find the different perspectives very interesting. I chose to make this collaborative because we have been doing collaborative work in class. By working on a collaborative social media presentation, a collaborative narrative, an...

"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...
