Being able to check in and reflect on yourself is important. If you want to continue to grow and become a better version of yourself then it’s important to check in and reflect on yourself and what you want. So here is my own personal wellness check.

What worries me most about the future?

Well for one I don’t even like the word worry. So, I want to pose this question differently and answer it that way.

What is something that I want for my future self?

(Doesn’t that sound more positive) I want to finish my degree and graduate. I know that was probably a generic answer but understand I have been in school off and on for a few years now and one thing I know that I can say I want for myself is to graduate and finish school.

What do I want most in life?

Answering this question like it is is hard. I feel like as you grow up and get older the things you want change and were all just getting to know each other here. Maybe I spill all the beans on my wants in another post. Give me a few more weeks here.

What’s something that I want right now?

To be promoted at work would be great.

When did I last push passed my comfort zone?

Actually, last semester when I took public speaking. I’m not someone that likes to talk a lot in front of people and I managed to get a A in that class.

What goals do I need to have to get where I want to be?

I need to have good time management skills, good communication skills, a strong work ethic, and to be a overall good student to maintain my grades.

Until next everyone!

Herse a few things to note about your new favorite character. Layla is all about the arts and her head is usually in a book. She was born in and still lives in Tokyo Japan, where she is a successful manga artist and has one dozen of awards for her manga. She loves writing romance comedy manga and has a very distinct art styles that people have raved about.

When Layla isn’t hunched over in her art studio creating her manga Shes either getting lost in the world of books at a local coffee shop or library or you can find her on the search for the latest boba drink or iced latte.

When she is not working or reading, she’s creating. Shes creating paintings, drawings, sculptures, and stories. She truly embraces the world of art and believes that anything can be art. If you ask her about technology shell tell you that it’s not something she cares much for. Layla would rather have an actual book in her hand then a e-reader. Most manga artist draw on an iPad, but she prefers good old pencil and paper. She won’t admit that shell use the tablet when Shes behind on a story thought.

Layla loves art, loves books, loves relevant pop culture and all things the aesthetic of a cozy and warm coffee shop. If you ask her how much sleep, she gets shell just look at you and avoid the question. That how passionate and in love she is with the world of the art. If you know art, then you know Layla. If you don’t know art well here your invitation to start. Why? Because Layla is always everyone’s favorite.

Whether you are a superhero fan or not I’m sure you’ve heard of the avengers. I chose to write about the Avengers because I’m a Marvel fan and I believe there’s a Marvel movie out there for everybody. Even one of my friends who isn’t super into superhero’s was able to enjoy the Avengers Franchise and even went back to watch the individual superhero movies. Enough of my own personal opinion and to the review itself.

The avengers bring together a world of superheroes to fight the bad guy and save the earth from being destroyed. This may sound like every basic superhero story out there but it’s just the way Marvel did that really set the tone for the entire franchise to be as successful as all the films were. There’s so much comedy, action, a bit of romance in there, the characters are all likable in their own distinct ways as well. Someone that hasn’t watched any of the individual superhero movies about the characters can still enjoy the movie without having to go back and watch the other movies beforehand (even though I highly recommended one doing so).

The actors had such great chemistry, and the writing of the actual story was really well done. It was more than just a superhero movie but a movie that can really bring you together. Weather it’s a family, couple, or someone by themselves it’s just a great movie overall.

Getting into more of the story itself even the villain is likable in my opinion. One of the hero’s being Thor classic brother trope. Thor being the all-around good brother good at everything and the favorite and then you have Loki less popular, and what you could label as the odd ball. Lokki wants to destroy the earth well because why not? He was getting the means to do so. Thor and his other super friends are thrust together and the dialoged between the characters is again hilarious. Iron man takes on the know-it-all rich guy and all of his quick wit and banter plays really well with the humble captain America who’s the all-around good solider and wants to do right by his country. Paired with all around classic superhero The Hulk who is surrounded by the “new age” hero’s it just all pairs together so well.

The Avengers was a great first movies to what turned into a great Franchise and is a must watch for all in my opinion.

I think anyone can answer their goal for their class is to pass so it will count towards there degree completion. If you’re someone that likes to do well in school like me, I not only want to pass a class, but I want to do well in the class. So, I guess a generic answer and what my answer usually is at the start of this new semester when asked. What do you hope to take from this course? I really just want to do well and ultimately graduate with my degree, but I know that’s why most of us are here. This class is making me think a bit differently, its more than just wanting to pass a class but I would really like to tap into my creative side. I don’t think I was truly able to dabble into my creative side for longer than I care to put in this post honestly.

I think as you get older and have more responsibilities, it can be difficult to try and go about things in a creative Lense. Things at least for me are getting tasks done and doing them efficiently and not creatively. My goal for this class is to get creative in everything that I do, to the blog post we have to write about, the stories we have to create, my blog itself I want to authentically be creative with the content I am creating. I am someone that’s not big into social media, but I think the digital world in incredible and ever changing and growing as time continues to evolve. I would like to create something be involved in some sort of contention creation as I am majoring in communications and minoring in digital studies. I am intrigued to get into this world of digital creating and learn what I am able to come up with.

So what’s my goal? I want to pass and do well of course but ultimately, I want to really get to know my creative side.

I didn’t know what to expect when I entered into this course but wow after reviewing the syllabus and going over all of the required work its defiantly going to be an exciting semester. I honestly had a hard time with initially getting things set up but thankfully after an appointment with the Digital Knowledge Center I was able to easily figure out what I was doing wrong. I can tell that this class is different from the courses that I have taken in the past at UMW but on another note I am excited to be able to learn more about the digital world then I thought I could. At one point I considered myself someone that understood how to set up accounts and things of the digital nature pretty quickly. Well, that’s not the case and I know off hand that I am really going to have to take my time when it comes to the assignments, I am someone that is known to work fast. All in All, I am looking forward to what I learn, and all this class has to offer.
