What's Happening In My Head

-

 This week has been very stressful to me. I have been working everyday. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, I just want a break. I have homework to do for school. And speaking of school, that brings on a whole different issue. I am only in one class and I already feel like I am behind. I'm struggling to figure out what I want to do in school or if school is even for me. Right now I feel like school isn't for me. It just stresses me out too much and I have no motivation to do any of my work or go to class. Every time I get out of class, I try to do my work, but every time I pull out my laptop, I just want to cry. I don't have any idea of what could be wrong though. I also feel like I am very lost in the class. Talk about a great start to college.

I sometimes wish college wasn't required for almost every career. At least the careers that make the most money. College doesn't even teach you what is needed to know for that job. Most of the stuff needed for a job is taught at on the job training. This is a long shot to post about but I want everyone else's opinion on this. Maybe someone can help me on how to get my work done or how to find a great career or on how to make me feel like college isn't a waste.

    I understand your situation and I'll tell you, it's not only you. Everyone is kind of being stressed out right now. I know it's very hard to work and being a student at the same time. But that doesn't mean you can't do both. Perhaps, taking one or two days off from your work could help you to do your school homework, just saying. Don's say like "School is not for me!" You can do it! You just need to find a way to deal with it. College isn't a waste, it's a huge investment that we put in our lives that will help us to flourish in the future.

    I had the same issue as you in the beginning of this semester. My first semester at PNW was all online and it was quite a bit easier than it is now. Once in-person school started back up, it was a huge adjustment because you actually have to go to the campus and balance work on top of it. I will admit it is a struggle but never forget to always put yourself first. Don't be afraid to take mental health days!! Many people have different opinions on college but whatever your future career is, make that your motivation to keep on pushing. Struggle is growth too, don't give up!!

    I understand how you are feeling right now. It is hard trying to keep up with school work and having a job and extra curricular activities. I have been struggling balancing my school work, my jobs, and being on the dance team here at school. Every time I think of homework or school, I get a "depression flare-up" as I would call it. I am always feeling there is not enough time in the day to do everything I need or want to do.

After Innocence

  Was there a specific scene that got to you? Describe and explain how it moved you. The specific scene that got to me was in the very beginning of the documentary, this guy talked about how this girl lying about him raping her changed his life forever. This man said he couldn’t sleep at night and he couldn’t trust women the same ever again. The girl who claimed to have been raped by this man was a complete stranger to the man, he had never met her in his life. This really got to me because I see a bunch of stuff on social media of these stars getting in trouble for raping minors, but a lot of these minors either lied about their age to the celebrity or lied about it all together. These celebrities will probably be in jail for the rest of their life just because someone lied.  What surprised you? Why do you think it caught you off guard? Something that surprised me in this documentary was why they didn’t test for DNA during the trials. The judges will allow for testing for DNA...

My Thoughts on "Snowy the Turtle"

  Snowy is a short film documentary released in 2020. I thought this documentary was very interesting. At the beginning of the film, it shows the three sons of Larry talking about Snowy. They really had nothing to say about him, as they didn't even take care of him.  The only person that took care of Snowy was Larry and he didn't even take care of him that well. Snowy was not properly taken care of. His tank was never properly cleaned and he didn't eat properly.  Poor Snowy was very neglected.     Towards the middle of the film, Snowy was taken to the vet, that's when Larry was told Snowy's beak was cut off. The fact that the family didn't even know his beak was cut off shows how much Snowy was neglected. It really bothers me that he was never was taken of properly. Why get a pet if you don't know how to take care of it. It wasn't until the end of the documentary that they figured out Snowy was depressed. They've had Snowy for years and just figured ...
