My Daily Life

For the majority of my life, I had been shy, even though it didn’t seem like it most of the time, I was scared to death when I met new people. I know that it sounds extremely trivial, but I feel that when you first meet someone, you’re ultimately giving them their first impression of yourself and that is a lot of pressure. It seemed almost certain that I would lead a life of being a social wallflower until March 2017, more specifically, March 28th, 2017. This day was and still is important to me because I learned how to be confident, and through my experience, it taught me something that I will hold onto forever. Prior to this day, I was an extremely introverted person and rarely went out of my way to make friends. As a volunteer at day

Social media is now part of our daily lives. We seem to have become attached to our devices and have made it part of our daily routine to use them. In my life, social media didn’t really affect me. I used to live in a wifi-free home, meaning that I didn’t have access to the internet. Both my mother and my father believe that internet is useless and kills your brain cells. Later they saw that I started to get lots of internet-required homework so they decided to install a wifi box at home. To be honest, I get very distracted now that I have internet at home. I don’t get things done as fast as I used to and I don’t use any of my time efficiently. Sometimes, after being on social media and watching cat videos for too long, I feel like I have no motivation to do anything. Now, I am more attached to my phone, but that will change.

As stated on Psychology Today, “there are so many positive aspects- not only does social media allow us to easily connect with loved ones and catch up with friends, it also provides entertainment, breaking news, and hottest trends from virtually anywhere around the globe,” (Flaxington 1). People think that technology is making our lives stress-free, when in fact it is making us overly dependent upon technology. Technology is advancing at a faster rate ever before in history. As technology has advanced, so has our total dependency on everyday things such as online shopping, constantly checking social media, etc. Some people even feel lost if they don’t have their phone in their hand. We are just so into other people’s lives that we are not aware of what is going on in

In our life we make decisions that could either benefit us or be harmful to our life. We have to make the decision that is best for us, and our well-being. Throughout this semester I have gained a better understanding of many concepts. There are many that relate to my everyday life and have positive and negative effects on me. The three concepts I chose that are listed below are what I have the most understanding on and what relates to my life the most.

How can you make changes to your daily life? Many people have struggled on how to change their life. Daily life can be busy. Slight changes may be hard but it can lead to good things. Some people do not know how to do that and others are afraid of the future. If they change their lives, some people do not have goals in life and they do not want to change it. So, I want to share some tips that will help you to achieve this goal. First, you need to find an unhealthy habit in your daily life like spending a long time on social media. Social media is not very bad if we use it in a beneficial way but, not for a very long time, as this will be reflected in your life. It will take you away from real life like your family. It is stealing time that you can use for yourself and your family. In this article, I want to help you onto know how to arrange your life better and use time wiser, how to make a more peaceful life for yourself, and how to be an example to your closest people and the community. Your past life can bring stress to your present if you keep it living with you. Like if something negative from the past- something someone said, something someone did is still in your mind that will bring stress to your present life. Some people are still living in the past and have regrets about what happened or what was planned. Some people were unable to pass the circumstances in their past life.

When I think of a situation that changed my view on how I lived my life, I can only think of one incident. My father’s heart attack. It was my junior year of highschool, skipping school was a regular habit, because i didn’t care for the assignments, or the teachers. I thought they were not worth my time. I was to busy enjoying the life of a teenager; hanging out with friends, going places, and doing things teenagers shouldn’t. That is until one rainy day at school. I get a call on my cell phone from my brother:

Have you ever had a time in your life that changed you completely? Well, I have, and I’m going to give you some information on how my daily life had changed and how it completely changed my life. And that thing that had changed me the most in my life would have to be dance.

One of the hardest things about beginning this writing has been trying to narrow down what part of my mother’s life I would try to write about. A quick version of my mother’s story, born in Fayette, Mississippi, while in the adjoining room her grandmother for whom she was named, Mollie, went to her eternal rest. In the words of Jasleen Kaur Gumber, Grandmother Mollie: “A flame that flickered, and a soul that whimpered”, My mother: “A candle that blazed, and a fragrance that raised.”

My life has not always been easy, but without it I would not be who I am today. I spent my early childhood in Apache Junction Arizona which is just twenty miles outside the city of Mesa. I lived with both parents, three sisters, and one brother. My parents fought a lot about my mother’s drinking and how it caused so much trouble for us all. My mother fought the most with my dad’s daughter Sarah. They both agreed to move to Illinois where they had family. My father had family in Chicago while my mother had family in Carmi. They agreed to let Sarah live with her friend’s family and stay in Arizona

This study gave great insight in the different uses for social media and technology. In reality, sites such as Facebook cause more stress because they are associated with academics and business. Other sites can be associated with close friends and some students associate it is with their happy place. Technology does in fact inhibited one 's coping mechanisms because someone will sit for hours on their phone. Instead of scrolling for hours wasting time they could be using proven mechanisms like talking to a friend or family member. To counteract this during stressful times, people deactivated social media and other technology to take away the distraction. Technology did not fully replace working mechanisms because they still look for face

Everyone goes through difficult times in their life. Without ups and downs occurring in your life, you wouldn’t be alive. For me, one of the most difficult times in my life that I have been through was one that happened 7 years ago involving two of my amazing cousins, Jordan and Jared. Jordan was 11 and Jared was 9 years old. With both of them being so young, you don’t think that anything will happen to them. Things happen and they can change your life forever. For some people, that change isn’t bad and they can overcome that change. For others, myself including, that change is to the point where you can’t overcome what happened. By struggling with overcoming what happened, it’s helping you grow as a person.

Personal barriers are obstructions put in place by old Scott that negatively affect New Scott’s achievement in his work life, home life and spiritual life. Barriers are created by being hurt or let down in some way and then swearing to not have it happen again. These barriers end up hindering me in doing what I need to do to succeed and be a new person that does not have those restrictions holding me back.

Throughout the walk of everyday life, we may find ourselves within the personal lives of others, giving us the option to either turn the other way and pay no attention, or to observe, and learn something about those individuals’ lives. The observation of others can not only bring a whole new understanding to the many forms of communication, but it can also provide a new perspective into something we have never taken the time to explore and analyze. One can learn a multitude of new things by observing family, friends, or even just strangers.

During my formative years I attended a large Southern Baptist church in my hometown. In fact, the church's membership was nearly as large as that of the Catholic church in town which was the largest. I was a member of the Baptist church until I was 23.

When I was five years old, I remember that my grandmother would always tell me to pick up after myself. I was not heavily involved in any chores at this age, but I was required to clean up the play area when I was done playing with my toys. My room had three clear plastic containers, where I would store all of my toys. Since, the storage containers were big, cleaning up and putting all my toys away was a breeze. At the age of nine, I remember that my responsibilities were much greater. At this age, I was responsible for having all my homework done before my father came home from work. I was also responsible for cleaning my entire room. This meant that I would have to fix my bed, sweep the floors, take my dirty clothes back to the laundry room, and keep my dresser looking clean. At the age of thirteen, my responsibilities only grew greater. At this age, I was responsible for mowing the lawn and keeping my front year looking clean. I also remember that my father would give me six to seven dollars for washing and vacuuming his car. Although my responsibilities grew greater, I enjoyed it.
