Motivation to not procrastinate. Source: Flickr And we are done with another week of school! One more week closer to winter break. I cannot wait for this semester to be over with already. This week has been an okay week. Nothing huge occurred that made this week any different than any other week. I did have my microbiology exam on Wednesday, and it went okay. I still do not think I can get an A in microbiology, so I am aiming for a B now. Honestly, this class is so early in the morning and I skipped it a lot this semester. My goal for the rest of the semester is to go to class everyday regardless of how tired I am in the morning. My grades have been going up ever since the second half of the semester started, so yay! For this week, I have an organic chemistry exam on Wednesday that I need to study for. I am planning on doing the reading assignments for this week early, so I could focus on my exam on Tuesday. I also have some events that I need to attend this week as well, but in...

Tech Tip: Keyboard Shortcuts

Image
As a college student, I find myself typing a lot, whether it is for a paper, a discussion post for an online class or something else. For me personally, I use keyboard shortcuts to limit the amount of my fingers leaving the keyboard and using the mouse to click something. I am not sure if most people knew this but it took me awhile to figure this out. Hopefully, this will be useful to you all! I have an apple product, so the button is different on Microsoft products. So on a MacBook: command C = copy command V = paste command X = cut command B = bold command U = underline command I = italicize command Z = undo command Y = redo For Microsoft products, you would press the ctrl button instead. Here's a picture of a keyboard. Source: pexels .

The Patient Buffalo there one was a great buffalo with might horns who laid under a tree asleep a monkey popped out and said "but i am not afraid of him, nor's he afraid of me' the monkey started dancing on the buffalo's back and the buffalo did no such thing back the monkey was trying hard to make the buffalo angry but he couldn't one day, a fairy appeared and told the buffalo of his strength the fairy asked why he doesn't react to the monkey's action because with one blow, he can knock the monkey out the buffalo replied back saying the monkey is small and nature has not given him much brain; therefore, why should he punish the monkey and make him suffer in order for him to be happy? the fairy was pleased with his answer and granted him a charm, so that no one can cause him to suffer again The seventh little quail talking to the flames.

Learning Challenge: Time Challenge

Image
Honestly, in the beginning of the semester, it was hard for me to keep track of this class because I was so busy during the first half of the semester. I had so much going on in my sorority and in my life that I had troubles with keeping up with school. It has gotten a lot better now and I am glad I am able to finish the assignments assigned every week. I remember I used to get like maybe one or two done each week, but now, I do all of them and then extra credit on top to get to my goal for this class, which is to get an A! I learned how to manage my time better and use it efficiently because theres not a lot of time when you are in college. You just can't! Source: Flickr .

Growth Mindset: Random Cafs

Now is the time to go beyond your comfort zone. I chose this picture because I don't like going out of my comfort zone to do things. I am trying to break out of my shell and try new things, but I am honestly so complacent and it sucks sometimes . because I am not adventurous. Look for opportunity. I chose this picture because I come across many opportunities but I never take them. It sucks to say that because I am applying for PA school in a year and I need to shadow and get my hands on . experience hours in to even get a chance to get accepted into a program.

Guilty Dog. Source: Pixabay . The Guilty Dogs A king drove the city in his magnificent chariot, but at the end of the night, the chariot was left in the courtyard with the harnesses It started to rain during the night; therefore the palace dogs wanted to have some fun, so they chewed up the leather harnesses and slipped away before the dawn The king found out about his harnesses and his men told him the straps were chewed up by the dogs The king commanded them to kill every dog they see in the city The dogs heard about the kings order and cried bitterly because the innocent ones did not have anything to do with this The chief dog of the pack asked why they were all sad because it is impossible for any dog of the city to enter the palace gates besides the dogs of the palace The chief dog stepped up by going out to find out guilty one to show to the king to protect the innocent dogs from getting killed The chief dog went along through the city and at every step, men were s...

Union is Strength There was a clever Fowler who could imitate the quail's note exactly; therefore, he used this to call the quails to trick them After he uses the call, a number of quails would come out together and the Fowler would throw a net over them and bagged them all There was one clever bird out of the whole population who helped the quails to freedom The clever bird told his fellow bird friends to pop their head out through one of the meshes of the net when they felt the net drop over them, and then at the word, they fly away together They used this method the next time they heard the call; it was a huge success for them because they got the net stuck into a bush in order for them to escape The Fowler did not give up because he knew they would fight sooner or later, so he kept on trying to catch them One day, a fight occurred because a quail stepped on another's toe This wasn't good because they kept fighting and no one was able to lift up the net by them...
