Entry #10. Summer Improvements

 Things I will be Improving on this Summer

This summer I will take a break from school and not attend the summer semester. I will return in the fall. But for now, I feel like I should improve on a couple of things while I have the extra time. Below I will provide a list of what I plan to better myself in during the summer break and some strategies or how I will achieve my goal. 


Mental Health
For me, mental health is really important because it is something that if not taken seriously, can affect most part of someone's day. According to Wikipedia, mental health can be described as it "[encompassing] emotional, psychological, and social well-being, influencing cognition, perception, and behavior". To better my mental health, I plan to discuss my feelings and emotions with someone I trust, so that I don't have to hold everything in. I will also exercise and eat healthy so that I feel less moody and more happy.


Self-Confidence
Confidence is a big part of my life that has impacted me emotionally and physically. Confidence in one's self is the feeling of being assured and believing in yourself. The way I plan to improve my confidence is by practicing positive-self talk. One way my self confidence would also be lowered is being around the wrong people that lower it themselves. This time, I will hang around the right people who don't bring me down and take my shine away. 


Time Management
Time management is a big thing I need to improve this summer, so that by the time I go back to school in the fall, I would have mastered it. Managing my time in college would help me turn in my assignments on time, have some free time for myself in between, and if I have more time as well, I could possibly finish early. To do so, I will set deadlines, make schedules or lists, carry a planner, and not procrastinate.

Entry #6. Balancing School and Life

  Balancing School and Life Balancing your school life and your personal life can be pretty challenging. This can especially be because you feel you need to prioritize one thing you may think is more  important than another. It feels like there aren't enough hours in a day to balance school and your personal life all at once. There are many strategies to maintain a special equilibrium between the two. Today, I will mention a very important strategy. Time Management According to Coursera, time management is "the process of consciously planning and controlling time spent on specific tasks to increase how efficient you are". Some strategies to back up this strategy is setting deadlines, writing to-do lists, utilizing a planner, and giving yourself small rewards for accomplishing certain activities. Some tips when completing time management include setting setting your goals correctly, prioritizing wisely, setting time limits, taking breaks between tasks, organizing yourself,...

Entry #3. Mint

Image
Have you ever had something taste so clean in your mouth? Something like a sweet that feels like your mouth has revived? Looking at these leaves, I can picture myself eating and chewing what this specific confection is made out of. I also love the ice cream flavor that's made from this. It goes well with the chocolate pieces added into it. When you tap on the box with your nails, it sounds as if it were plastic. When you shake it, it sounds like a box containing small round solid pieces being hit side by side in the inside. Just by looking at it, I can tell it is two inches tall, maybe one and a half inches by length, and around a centimeter in width all around the box. It feels small and light in weight. It is a clear box with white jelly bean looking sweets inside and a green label on the outside and a white lid with a small opening the size of each lolly. It melts very, very slowly and takes around three to five minutes to dissolve in your mouth. Because it is round, it is impos...

    Food Recalls in the Month of April The list of food recalls is increasing by the day, and at the end of the month of April, it is high. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/food-recall-list-every-product-removed-this-month/ar-AA1nW5CL Who? This image comes from Microsoft's web portal, MSN, which is aiming to warn their audience of the recalls that were discovered this month. It is crazy the amount of items on the list. They're ranged in all food categories, even in animal foods. Even hand sanitizer and medical devices were added to the list! Where & What? Some of these food that manufacturers are believing to be making people sick come from different parts of the world.  For example, H-E-B in Texas recalled some of their ice creams due to them possibly containing metals. Some basil herbs sold in Florida were taken off shelves due to the fears of them being contaminated with salmonella.  Towards the middle of the article, a video can be seen that explains a ...
