At the beginning of class we were
asked to create a blog. The blog was designed to post our assignments and our
opinions. We were given many different assignments that were each different in
their own way.
Our first assignment was self
exploration. This assignment was basically
to tell about ourselves. This assignment included who we are, what we like to
do, and life after college. I enjoyed this assignment because we got a chance
to reflect over our lives, and wanted we wanted to do in the future. I went into details about my future and
basically where I wanted to be in the next few years. Of course my number one
goal right now is to finish school, but I also hope one day to own my own business.
I also expressed in this assignment my
love for fashion. I do have a great love
for fashion and creativity. I have
always wanted to become a fashion designer and I also loved to draw different
things. In high school I was very
involved in my drawing class coming up with different ideas and projects. In
the end this assignment allowed me to reflect on my life and the things that I enjoy.
The next assignment we had to blog
about was the fashion detox. This was
one of the most challenging assignments.
We had to go one month without buying anything dealing with clothes,
shoes, and accessories. Being that I am
a lover of fashion this was a difficult task.
The first and the last week was the hardest to me. In the first week it seemed like I just had
the urge to buy any and everything. It
was hard to tell myself no. I had a few
friends to help and encourage me throughout the detox. In the last week I almost bought a pair of
shoes. I decided not to buy them because I had worked so hard during that month
of the detox. This assignment really
taught me a lot. I learned how much
unnecessary stuff that I buy. A lot of times we buy things that we see, we don’t
necessarily need them. During the month
of the detox, I tried my best to only buy things that I need, not the things
that I want. The detox also helped me to
save a lot of money. You really don’t spend
much when you buy the thing that you need, and not a lot of unnecessary stuff.
The next assignment was the prezi.
Prezi is a creative way to do projects and presentations. It is kind of like PowerPoint. We had to post our prezi assignment in our
blog. I decided to do my prezi on my dream
job and my major. My major is
advertisings so I wanted to give information on that. In the presentation I told what was
advertising and why did I chose that major.
I also list a few jobs that advertising has to offer. I love my major because you get to be
creative and create different add covers and layouts.
We also had to blog about the book
we were assigned to read which was called Enchantment. This book basically taught how you can become
a better employee and or a better boss.
Throughout the book it taught a lot of different techniques. The spoke about what you should and should
not do. Social media is something that
was discussed because it is widely used. The book talked about things that you should
not say on social media. It also talked
about ways that you can be enchanting on social media.
Another huge assignment we had to
blog about was the spending analysis. For
about a month we had to keep up with our spending. We had to blog each week
about our spending, and how much money we spend on different things. I realized
that majority of my money goes to food.
Even when I have food in my apartment I still go out to buy food. While doing the spending analysis I started
to figure out ways that I can better save my money. I came up with different plans and
ideas. We also had to do an info
graphics on our spending. In the info
graphics we had to talk about how much we spend each week and what our money
goes too. Because of this assignment I do think that I have become a better
spender. I have learned the importance of
saving money.
We also did a blog on Cotton
University. We had to do a critique on
the website. Overall I thought that the website was pretty good. It was very professional and also very
organized. I rated the website very high, it was easy to navigate and
understand. Another assignment we had been
on poll daddy. We basically had to post
a poll and let people vote on what they like.
Another big assignment we had to do
was the AR project. This assignment we
had to make a logo using a layer. I
decided to do my logo on the future boutique I would like. This assignment was fun to create. We also had to do an assignment on a slogan
we liked. My slogan was “love it, change
it, and leave it.” I really like this slogan because it says a lot about life
and certain situations.
Overall I really enjoyed the
blogging assignment. It allowed me to
keep up with my thought and ideas. I also like how we learned how to post our different
assignments. Because of the blogging assignment,
I have created my very own hair blog. My
blog has reached over 1,200 viewers.
This class has taught me a lot and allowed me to be able to work
different technologies.
I would not change anything about
the class or our assignments. I have
learned a lot over the semester. I have learned a lot about myself and also my
career. I think that the blog was a
great experience.
