Week 10: Review

Okay, as much as I wanted to choose the Great Pumpkin picture for my review post, there was a picture earlier in the week that I shared with all of my friends because it was just too awesome.

Mythical Creatures chart from Tuesday's Announcements

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. The normal stuff is all on there, but did you know there's a man-fish-horse hybrid? What? That's ridiculous! Where does that come up? I'm gonna have to track it down and find out because it's too crazy not to read about.

Week 9: Review

My favorite part of the announcements this week was this picture from the Saturday Announcements.

I chose it, and particularly liked it, because in my Electronics Lab class one of the things we had to remind ourselves of over and over is that "circuits are not magic." My lab partner and I are still a little convinced that they are.

Week 8 Review

Logo from the Great Language Game

While I've been working on my assignments for the class, I wanted to take a break, so I used five minutes or so to play the Great Language Game! I got up to 400 points in three lives- I was doing alright until they started giving me four and five options to pick from! Definitely going to bookmark this and use it as a stress reliever for the next week.

Week 7: Backup and Review

Growth Mindset Meme from Sunday Announcements

I think this cat understands my life. Going into this year, I knew it would be a tough couple semesters, but I didn't realize how difficult it would be. It's been a haul, but it's also been worth it. It's important to remember how much this semester has meant to me, and also to stop and give myself a pat on the back sometimes for the hard work I've been doing. Not that I remember to do that very often, but when I do it's a good reminder that I can take time for myself every now and then.

Also, as for an event coming up- this Saturday, October 17th from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m., Soonerthon, Engineers' Club, and Triangle are holding an Extra Life event! Extra Life is a gaming marathon charity event where people gather donations, and then play video games for a long period of time to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. It's a testament to the social impact gamers have, and a way to give back to the community. If anyone's interesting in being a part of it, it's located in Sarkeys Energy Center rooms 360/370, and the team link to start fundraising is located here! If you just want to come out and play video games, it's $5 at the door and we'll have FREE Hideaway Pizza. It's a great cause, I'm super excited, and it's open to all students at OU! 

Week 6: Backup and Review

From Sunday's Announcements

My favorite part of the announcements this week was absolutely the Creativity graphic. I firmly believe that the one thing that has led me to be more creative as a person is admitting to myself and others that I don't know everything, and celebrating that. The world would be horribly, horribly dull if we knew everything! There's so much to find out still in the world, that I don't think I'll ever be bored. A mission I've been on through my college career has been learning to ask more questions, and not just assume I'll figure something out later. Sometimes it's still a little tough, but I've gotten so much better at it! I kind of want to print this out and hang it on my wall somewhere. Maybe I will!

Week 3: Backup and Review

After one crazy week, and heading into another, I really appreciated one of the images in the announcements that really seemed to hit the nail on the head for how life's been going lately...

I really enjoy playing board games like Catan, and I'm a fan of video games, though I'm fairly casual about it--they provide such a great escape to pretending to 'adult'. The link to the announcements for Thursday, the day this picture was posted, is located here.
