10/31/17: Halloween Traditions

My family doesn't actually have any traditions for Halloween. Every year is different and nothing is ever really the same. I guess when I was little we would go and carve pumpkins. We would always trick or treat, but is it really considered tradition when the people and places always change? The only tradition that I think we'll have just started. It's buying Bella a costume.

10/23/17: The Person I Admire Most

There are a lot of people I admire and I admire them all the same. There is no "most". I didn't know who to choose, so I used one of those name pickers to pick for me. The person that was picked was my papa Dale. I admire my papa because he has a servant heart. He's 81 years old (I think), and in great shape. He is always putting others first (unless he's sick). I have 14 cousins. The oldest just graduated college, one has Down Syndrome, and the last two are eight year old twins. On top of that, my grandma has Dementia and is in a nursing home. Yet somehow my papa is able to manage all of it. I can't even imagine the stress he feels when all 26 of us are together for the holidays. I think that my papa is the most selfless person I know. That's why I admire him.

Infographic Reflection

I made my infographic about some of the stereotypes of depression. I chose this topic because I get stereotyped whenever a person finds out about it. I'm tired of it and it needs to stop! I am actually very happy about how the final product turned out to be. The tool I used was easel.ly.  I used it to make a half informative, half myth busting infographic. Would I recommend this tool anyone? I'm honestly not sure. I would give it 3.5/5 stars. There were quite a few advantages, but I think the main one was the fonts. There were a few disadvantages, but the biggest one I had was not being able to make a pie chart on there. I literally had to google for websites that specialized in pie chart making. I guess I could use this tool in the future for other subjects. I mean, I've already used it for a history project.

10/19/17: Dream Vacation

I don't have a dream vacation at the moment. Therefore, I will just say that my dream vacation takes place in my room. I will see my family. I will eat whatever is in the pantry downstairs. I will watch movies on my phone. I would go with myself.

10/16/17: Introduction to Infographics

An infographic is a way to send information across social media. The purpose of an infographic is to be able to share messages, take authority, and drive traffic and shares across the social platform. The best information to be displayed would have to be about businesses across a range of industries. An infograph can convey the message to people in quite a few way. A few of the way included are keeping it visual and keeping it focused. If I used an infographic in an assignment, then it would be one of the first things I would use. Because infographics are supposed to be visual and target the audience, it would attract their attention easier. Sometimes people don't pay attention unless something interesting and different is included. It could also just be the assignment as a whole. If infographics are supposed to share information, then why not just use it for an entire assignment? It would make the assignment a lot more fun to do.

Report Card

There's really not much to say about it, I guess.

10/9/17: Homecoming Weekend

My homecoming weekend was a blast. We met at my house first so everyone could drop off their overnight stuff. After that we took pictures on our porch (literally none of us liked that) for 15 minutes. Then we headed over to the lake to finish the pictures. The picture above is one of my favorite pictures at the lake. We all just look so happy and it makes me smile when I see it.

After pictures, we went to Sunset Grill and Freezing Moo. It was crazy and loud, but it was a fun time. At Sunset Grill we all ordered salad except for Rose and Ellie. Rose finished her pasta in five minutes and 50-something seconds, by the way. Then we went to Freezing Moo for dessert. It wasn't really busy, and that honestly surprised us. There were several pictures taken, but the one above is my favorite because it's the only picture not embarrassing. After Freezing Moo, we went to the dance and had a ball (pun intended) and one of us might've gotten a potential boyfriend.

After the dance we all came back to my house for the after party. We had a lot of fun as we  played games and tried to figure out a ship name for Rose and the guy she met. It was a sleepover so we didn’t sleep until like 3:30 am. Everyone left around noon on Sunday, and about half of them forgot something. They always forget something.
