Fav tv shows

Some of my favorite tv shows include: Empire, Star, How to get away with murder, Chrisley Knows Best, Legacies, Family Guy and Fam. I am currently watching some of these shows and some of them are on break right now. Some tv shows relax me and put me in a good mood. I am not a big tv watcher but when these shows come on I will sit in front of the tv and watch. What are some of your favorite tv shows?

Friends or acquaintances?

How to know if you have a friend or acquaintance? Well for starters, let’s look at how both treat you. A friend is someone you can confide your most personal secrets to, knowing it will never come out. A friend is there for you in good and bad times. An acquaintance is just someone to hang out and don’t catch up with on a daily basis. The person that you say hi to when you haven’t seen them in a while. A person that you do not confide in. For some people they don’t know the difference so they may mixed up a friend with an acquaintance. However, real friends support you no matter what and they don’t judge. They are around to lend a hand and provide a listening ear. When times are rough acquaintances don’t even check in on you only true friends. Remember to choose wisely between the two, because one of them will let you down.

Distractions and how to deal with them.

In life, there are so many distractions that can keep you from being productive, however it all depends on you and how you deal with them. From school to work, we face distractions. Once you set your mind to accomplishing your goal, then distraction loses. If you decide to procrastinate in school and life, then you are letting the distractions win. How I deal with distractions is tuning them out. For example, if I need to get a paper done, and there is a really good show on or if a friend wants me to go out, I respectfully decline doing those things. My work is my priority and it is extremely helpful to finish your work first then do those things after. Only in your free time can you afford to be distracted. At your worksite there is no room for distractions as it could hurt your job. For example, doctors cannot afford to be distracted when doing surgery as they could unintentionally lose a patient. No doctor should be distracted by loud noise to music during surgery. With distractions, I put them aside when dealing with something that is first priority. I’m not saying that you would not need to have a distraction maybe once in a while, but it should never be in the way of something important.

Hotel Experiences

Working in a hotel has its pros and cons, just like any job. However, the experience that is gained from working will last you for a lifetime. My first hotel job was at a Westin. Westin is a popular hotel that has properties all over the world. I worked in two departments that were combined into activities, so I worked with kids and also at the pool. I am a people’s person so I was happy to get along with the guests in the hotel. They often talk of their travels and how they have enjoyed their time in the hotel. This is very satisfying when the guests in the hotel are happy. This means that they will likely share about their experiences, and this can help bring more people to stay at the hotel. With jobs, employees will participate in training and this training is important information to know about the property and any employees rules, rights, etc. I have also worked at a Marriott hotel, which is also a popular hotel group. This time I was in a different department than my previous hotel job. I was working in a restaurant this time. I can say I learned a lot working there. A few things I learned working in the restaurant was how to set the tables, make coffee, and how to balance plates on a tray. While sometimes the job was a bit demanding in the busier times, I will never forget my time there. It was a great learning experience that helps you get ready for the real world. Another hotel I have worked at was an Extended Stay America. This hotel was smaller than the previous hotels I had worked at but again, I learned something new. I feel each job you work in life provides you with a learning experience that will help you to further your skills and set you up for life.

What scares me the most and why?

Of course we all exist in this world with birth, we grow through life stages and then death. Even though this is something to expect, I’m more afraid of the unknown. What happens after? Is there really heaven or hell? I believe in the higher power but it really worries me not knowing what will happen when I depart from this world. We are human beings and we all have something to fear, this is mine. Now if you say you are not afraid of anything, I don’t believe you one bit. We all have something we fear.

What I would love to learn how to do

I’ve always been into music as a child so this will not come as a surprise as I’ve always wanted to learn how to play piano. There is a certain feeling that overcomes me when I hear someone playing on the piano. Like, it’s mesmerizing and it’s so great that you just want to feel in that moment. Have you all ever felt that way? It’s such a great feeling and one of these days I will learn to play. Until then I can only dream. It’s always good to have a dream and it’s important that you never give up on your dreams. If you decide to follow through with them , you will never know the outcome. It can be great or it can be bad, it all depends on you.

Tips for school success

As a recent graduate, I would like to give my advice on some tips for fellow students. First, when you are confused or need help always reach out to your professors. They know the material well and they are able to explain it to you better. Second, don’t be afraid to reach out to your advisers as they are there to help you. Always communicate with your classmates as what they say can help clear up anything that you may missed and look at their perspective on things. Third, do not procrastinate. When you procrastinate, it can lead to stress and bad grades. This is something you do not want. It’s always great to get started on assignments early, this way you have plenty of time to finish. Started early also gives you time to fix something that you may need fixing as it can improve your grade. Follow these simple tips and you will be well on your way to success.
