I really enjoyed the assignments from last semester. The readings were fun and easy and the assignments were simple to keep up with. I really enjoyed the Thursday assignments where we all got to retell our favorite stories from the week. So Simple Image Source

Growth Mindset

Image
I learned a little about Growth Mindset last semester in the Myth-Folklore class. I really enjoyed the video's about "The Power of Yet". I really liked the video Believing you can improve from this semesters list. No matter what I do, I try and do the best and be the best at it especially if it is a competitive activity. I may not be the greatest at it when I am first starting out, but I always try to improve and get better. I do have some personal goals this semester, primarily to finish the semester strong with good grades as this is my last semester in school if everything goes well. Another goal I have is to lose some weight before my summer trip to Disney world. Risk it For the Biscuit....Or Burgers. Image Source

Introduction to a Comm Major's Gamer Life

Image
Hello everyone,  My name is Jake Compton and I am a Senior Communication Major. I have been in college since FA 2012 and have changed my major a few times starting with Chemical Engineering, moving to Finance, and finally settling on Communication. Initially I went to The University of Tulsa and played football my freshman year, but the struggles of football plus Chem E. was a lot to handle and I ended up transferring out and going to community college for a while. Finally making my way to OU as a Finance major however after doing very bad in Calc 2  I finally switched to Communication. Lucky for me, I want to be a sales rep. for a chemical company such as Chevron Phillips, Exxon, Shell, etc. and there are many majors that I can use to achieve that. After quitting football I was looking for something to do competitively and my brother introduced me to Magic: The Gathering and I have been playing that semi-competitively since 2013 and plan on being more competitive after gradu...

Favorite Place

My Favorite Place Writing about my favorite place is an odd topic for me because I have yet been able to go and see it in person. Having traveled to almost all of Europe when I was younger because of my father's work, my favorite location is not even among the places I have been. Edo Castle is easily my favorite place and it is easily the one place I would love to visit if I am ever able to go to Japan. Japanese culture and history is something I have deep respect and admiration for and going to Edo Castle in Tokyo is something I have wanted to do for many years.                                                                                                      Edo Castle, Tokyo, Japan   Edo Castle
