 1. Seven Ways to Crush Self Doubt in Creative Work  http://www.spencerauthor.com/seven-ways-to-crush-self-doubt/ I loved reading this article because self-doubt is something I struggle with all the time. I think the first way Spencer suggested 'Don't Compare Yourself to Others' is a great suggestion. Although it is easier said then done, it is definitely the first step towards not having self-doubt. I also liked number 5 'Set Goals that are Within Your Control.' This is something I've really been working on personally this year, focusing on what things I can control other wise I will go crazy trying to fix the things I can't.  2. Why's It's So Hard to Hear Negative Feedback  https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/26/smarter-living/why-its-so-hard-to-hear-negative-feedback.html I am the worst at receiving feedback, especially from someone who is older and has a position of 'authority' over me. I always take it personally and get discouraged, but thi...

  Eastern Stories and Legends by Marie L. Shedlock (1920) The Hare that Was not Afraid to Die https://sites.google.com/view/mythfolkloreanthology/origins?authuser=0 Just in the past few years I was able to see 'The Rabbit on the Moon". I go back and forth with my boyfriend all the time when I see it because he doesn't.  I have never heard a story of why there is a 'rabbit' on the moon so that's why i choose it as my favorite. I'm sure there are multiple stories of why we see this rabbit. I've always wondered if it was more the human brain wanting to see life on a place where, as far as we know, there isn't life.  This image identifies the rabbit in the moon.  Rabbit in the Moon

 Now in my last semester of college, I have found a grove that works for me. I took me a little bit and it's not perfect but I got a gist. I was a server at BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse for the past 2 years. I worked nights and had a routine down for when I did classwork. I just started a new job at OU Hillel which is a lot more hands on, engaging and more time. Also takes outside of work, work, which I didn't have as a server, when I left I was done until my next shift. So it'll be an adjustment when managing my time but I hope I can get into a new groove with a new schedule! Time Management 

 I know how to use most of the tools listed. Hopefully won't get lost in all the different directions! Technology

 I'm looking forward to this class, I like the layout. I am a little worried about the workload of readings and assignments with my other classes and part time job, but at least it's interesting and not science or math. I like that we will be able to interact with other students even though it is online.  There are a lot of opportunities and different ways to get extra credit which is not common in a lot of classes, some professors don't even offer extra credit. The one that stuck out the most  'Check-In and Connect' adjusting for the pandemic to make it easier on students and hopefully professors during this crazy time.  Assignments
