"A sense of belonging can emerge from connections made with people, places, groups, communites, and the larger world."

According to the article “How often do you check your phone?” in the modern world today the average time a person will look at their phone’s screen is around 110 times a day; continuing on with the article it is said that people will check their phones “23 times a day for messaging, 22 times for voice calls and 18 times to get the time.” With all the time focused on the phones it distracts people of what is happening in our world and with their local

In my opinion, sleep is very valuable to high school students and the writers are right in some of the aspects. For example, they are right when they say “good sleep is a fragile creature” (qtd. Shawn Stevenson) in my view it is, but some tips that are given in this article are hard to do. For example, the article reads “So chill on the screens.” They say this because they are informing us that when you are on your screen like your

Belonging involves the process of discovering, understanding and accepting individual self identities which has the potential to be enhanced through social connections. As these connections develop into relationships, a human need for social interaction is fulfilled and so a sense of confidence, recognition and acceptance emerges, contributing to the process of self-understanding and ultimately that of belonging. Conversely, relationships that lack connection result in negative outcomes for individuals which encompass isolation and disaffection, ultimately leading to a sense of not belonging. Instead, these individuals may attain their sense of belonging outside relationships, through their connections to other ideas such as place, or within

Although I did not pass with a distinction, I still managed to obtain an average of 72% for the overall degree.

The article I have chosen to talk about is on Universities encouraging their students to prioritize their schedule. Not only are the universities encouraging sleep but they are acting upon it and raising awareness. UCLA is one of the many colleges that have taken action and created a “ sleep week”, which included yoga and a nap room. The University of Alaska-Anchorage and Georgetown University have also raised awareness by having events and putting up posters that remind the students just how important sleep is. Although college can be hard to handle and a huge workload is put on us, there is nothing more important than taking care of ourselves. As a full-time student I feel lucky if I get enough sleep, between juggling a job and school

Thesis Statement: Sleeping is a positive attribute, which gives you a better chance to be productive and live a healthier lifestyle.

Sleep deprivation is the most widely recognized rest issue in America and College Students. Understudies dropout rate and instructional level is dropping in the fact that they don't get much rest. Rest is vital to our wellbeing, yet its influencing understudy's wellbeing the most. Being a college student we don’t have our personal alarm clock anymore, so we tend to oversleep or don’t sleep at all. I can affirm on the grounds that being all alone I have this same issue. I hear and see the influence it has on understudies day by day and at times battle with it myself. Sleep Deprivation is created by society's weights to succeed, which prompts numerous ailments and reductions in scholarly accomplishment in undergrads.

This article talked about the importance of using communication and relationships to find belonging. All of us want to find where we belong in this world and find others that can relate to us. We also use this kind of interaction almost daily since we are constantly surrounded by other people. The authors of this article believed in a theory that they called the Need to Belong Theory. Their theory stated that the need to belong to some group of people, communicate, have relationships, and interact with others was a universal need. This is a very important area of study because this kind of communication can have both positive and negative effects on our lives. In the studies that were done, it was found that people who had many good

Honestly, before starting placement I would have never seen myself really as having leadership skills. I used to get anxious over making decisions just for myself. I can remember literally making myself sick to my stomach over college and ACT scores during my final year of high school even during my final’s week. Also, while I get along well with people; groups, especially talking in front of them intimidated me deathly. I have one of the best skills for putting my foot in my mouth, which is probably the only reason I learned to think on my feet really well. So as much effort as it can take to not say exactly what my intuition screams for me to say, I think I have found all of this in some small way to guide how I practice.

Even if people deny it, everyone is guilty of checking their phones twenty-four-seven. Usually, when people go to check their phones for a “quick second”, they end up spending several minutes, and in some situations, even hours on their phone, because of distracting social media, games, and text messages. Recently a study was done by Nottingham Trent University, to see how much the average person checks their phone in a day. The researchers at Nottingham Trent University, did this by installing an app on all of the participants’ phones. This app that was downloaded, recorded the participants’ total phone activity and usage, for over a total of fourteen days, (or simply, a two-week time period). At the end of the study, the application showed the researchers roughly how much the participants checked their phones in a day. At the end of the study, it was discovered that the average person checks their phone eighty-five or more times a day (MailOnline). Another study, done by Silentnight, showed how much time people today will waste away on phones and other technological devices like computers. This study found that the average person spends eight hours and roughly forty-one minutes on electronic devices; which is only around twenty minutes more than an average night’s sleep (MailOnline).
