Time Management Honestly, time management has never been my strong suit, but I have improved throughout college. As of right now, I have one free day a week and I will probably use this day to do all of my work for the week. This day is never the same, so it will depend on the week which day I complete the work, but I am definitely going to try to stay up to date on tasks and I am going to work on learning how to utilize the class wiki page. I am looking forward to learning how to use a different time management strategy.                   Going to Thunder Games is Something I Will Do After My Schoolwork is Finished

I am looking forward to utilizing new technology that I have not previously had the pleasure of working with. I am generally pretty good at learning how to use websites and social media, but I am excited to be more proficient in things like blog and website building. This setup is a lot different from other online courses that I have taken because it is not on Canvas, but I definitely agree why it is important for us to learn how to use different applications so that when we graduate, we are well versed in many technologies.                                      The University I Can't Wait to Represent in The Workforce

This course is very different from anything I have ever done during my time in college. Something I have really enjoyed so far are the stories that were based off of Harry Potter and Gossip Girl. Reading these made me more excited to learn about the Indian culture and how we see it in everyday life. I am also interested in seeing how the storytelling will go throughout this semester. These type of assignments are very different from anything that I have done because my coursework has revolved around concrete facts and reading about history and laws. I am looking forward to this because I will be able to take what we are learning and interpret it and talk about it in my own way and talk about it freely. I also look forward to learning new learning styles that are different than the ones that I have been using.                                            My Puppy, Livvy Like...

All About Growth Mindset Prior to this assignment I had not heard about Carol Dweck or the concept of a Growth Mindset. I learned about this concept by reading the transcripts of the videos provided and I was very surprised by how much I learned from these videos. I feel like, in my life I am kind of in the middle in terms of how I utilize a mindset like this. I feel like I am always striving to be better and I want to learn more and do better, but I also know that at times I get discouraged and I feel like I am stuck in a rut. After watching these videos I definitely have a new outlook on learning and how I will approach new concepts. I also think that this is an important thing to be aware of and I look forward to sharing these videos with my family. One particular way that I would like to use this to achieve an academic goal will be next year in graduate school. I know that this will be a new and difficult endeavor and I know that if I go into it by using this growth mindset I w...

All About Me Hello! My name is Bailey DeFilippo. I am a senior political science major. I chose to be a political science major because I wanted to go into federal law enforcement. I have recently changed my academic course and I have decided to go to graduate school next year for social work. I am hoping to be accepted into the Garland School of Social Work at Baylor University. After completing graduate school I would like to go into clinical social work and work with underprivileged children.  Some things that I enjoy are: listening to both country and christian music, watching Friends on Netflix, and spending time with my fiancé and my family. I also enjoy watching my younger brother play basketball and baseball. He has just signed to play baseball at Northern Oklahoma College in Tonkawa, Oklahoma. We are all very proud of Chase!  I also enjoy traveling with my family. About a year ago, my parent bought an R...

I thoroughly enjoyed this assignment because I was able to learn so much about things that I did not know about before, but I was able to learn these things through reading stories that are similar to ones that I already know and love. Here I will explain and write about three of the stories that I was able to read tonight. Hogwarts: The Loyalty of Brothers         I chose to read this story first because I grew up reading the Harry Potter books and I have always enjoyed them as I got older. Another thing I liked about this story was that it was almost like a lot of the other Fan Fiction that is written about Harry Potter.        The introduction of this story engaged me because I could see the students and the classroom in my mind. I could almost feel the atmosphere coming from the setting that was described in the introduction.        The layout of this story page was, at first, sort of difficult to navigate. I di...

Hello, my name is Bailey DeFilippo and one of my favorite places to visit has always been the Guadalupe River in Central/Southern Texas. I like this place because it is laid back and relaxing. When I go with my family, we normally choose one day to relax at the house and swim in the river and we choose one day for our float day. On our float day we spend 5-7 hours literally floating down the river in huge inner tubes. We bring drinks, snacks, a bluetooth speaker, and different water games to play. We spend the day fellowshipping with one another and having a lot of fun in the sun. This place is so beautiful and relaxing.                                      This is a beautiful photo of one part of the Guadalupe River.                               https://www.flickr.com/photos/texasbackroads/21179578893
