Final Thoughts? Is This Goodbye?!

Thanks for everything!

Demand to Lower Academic Tuition Costs

The ultimate way to catch someone's attention with a flyer is to use pleasing colors and bold words that make you interested and want to read more. Kind of like the blurps authors writes on the backs of their books. Short & sweet but catches your attention and makes or breaks the book.

I would like to use some of my data in my flyer but I'm not for sure which ones to use or which way to go with it just yet. Any helpful hints would be welcome :)

I love a good boycott. But how does one boycott not paying tuition? Do I just tell students to not sign up for next semester? Seems a bit rude if it's their final semester. I'm leaning more towards a march or a social media blackout for mine.

Text answers should be used sparling because there is a good chance people will go off on a tangent that has nothing to do with the question. They could also input biased opinions and negative comments. But it also is good to see other viewpoints that you didn't think of. Maybe. I guess we will find out.

I Had a Meeting Once

There was this one time, I mean it was yesterday, but you catch my drift, I had a zoom meeting with my English professor, Cameron (if you must know). We talked about how the semester was going, and if I had any questions about the super sweet research paper I’m writing. I really didn’t because I’ve done a couple of papers back in my day. She did mention that I needed Headings for my paper or something like that. So, I’m debating on naming them something witty or professional? I don’t know yet. Hopefully, she will give me some guidance on this!

I’m just super thankful for a professor who takes time to check in on us throughout the semester. And even comments on all posts! I can say I have never had a professor ever do that. So, huge shoutout to her for that!

Ever since 2015, Native American’s are outwardly righting the wrongs that have been bestowed upon them ever since they can remember. My soul purpose is to show my audience the magnitude of the epidemic that the group, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, are fighting. The drastic mistreatment of our Indigenous people is the highest in the United States. Native Americans were forced off their land that they cultivated and built homes on, watched up to 4,000 of their fellow Indigenous peoples die, all while being forced to move out west. The racism, abuse, and slander by law enforcement, government, and U.S. citizens is troubling. Statistics of the murdered and missing women along with governmental statistics is hard to accept. I hope to show you the lack of resources that Native American’s have and what you can do to make an impact for their communities. It is time for this to stop! All Americans deserve to be free.

So Far...

I absolutely adore this course! Being a full-time student, having a full-time job, and being a full-time wife is tough. Most weeks I can do all homework no problem, but there are some weeks (like last week and this week) where work has consumed my whole life. Being in the healthcare field is no joke.

No matter how prepared you are for life something always comes up and kicks you while you're down. I'm super thankful for the grace periods in this class. It has saved me from going insane. Too much homework? No. It’s just jammed packed with a lot to unfold and think about.

When & When NOT to Use Quotes

Including quotes in your research should be used when it supports your topic, but it must make sense of what you're saying. Just because the quote is about your topic doesn't mean you have to use it. It's your time to be picky. Use the best of the best but let your work shine too. Quotes are evidence for your research. Don't pack your paper with other people's thoughts.

You should not use quotes when they are not pertinent to what you are currently talking about. Do not rely on quotes to carry your research for you. You need to have the majority of your paper be your own words. Do not use quotations if they are not from a credible source. We have a lot of trolls on the internet these days and people love to believe them.

Plagiarism Citation

“I've been imitated so well I've heard people copy my mistakes.” ― Jimi Hendrix

Would our form of citing in public be "So, I saw this on TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc"? Because I don't know how else one would cite out of the academic/professional world. That's all I do when I send memes or pictures.

Mis/Disinformation

The difference between misinformation and disinformation is:

Misinformation is spreading rumors of misleading content. It can also be unintentional. It could be putting your laptop up for sale on Facebook Market place saying that it is a 2017 MacBook Pro in flawless condition, while the MacBook is a 2010 model, and it has hard drive problems.

Disinformation is deliberately putting out manipulated content. It would be like telling someone you don’t like that the party is a costume party and it’s not. Something to make the other person look like a fool. This has the potential to be destructive to someone’s reputation or just to their self-worth.

Either way mis/disinformation is a hazard that no one wants to deal with. This could all be solved by each person doing his or her own research before spreading what was heard on the new, in class, on the radio, or even from friends.

Scholarly vs. Popular Sources

When I think of scholarly sources, I think of an expert in their field of study writing to educate and or inform the reader. Scholarly is years and years of research, trial and error, and interviews Someone who has PhD, MBA, or any combo of 3 letters behind their name writes scholarly articles.

When I think of popular sources, I think of everyday people writing blogs, magazines, newspaper articles. Things that can be biased, fact-checked, and edited. These sources can be like Cosmopolitan and Sports Illustrated; written for the public.

I have done two or three research papers in my day, and I do believe I am equally good at both sources. Popular sources are easier to find in a pinch, scholarly not so much. It takes more digging, time, and dedication. Your reward is greater with scholarly sources. But I would like to get back into researching by only using scholarly sources. Sounds fun to me!

Visual rhetoric in today's educational world is almost second nature. Such as the gif I am using. It starts off the journal with visual stimuli and a quote that transitions into my journal.

I fear badly made books to films. But this is not that. This is me getting to talk about my favorite book trilogy and movie trilogy.

LORD OF THE RINGS - J.R.R. Tolkien ❤

A lot changed from book to movie, but the most notable change (for me) is Frodo. In the book, he is a hero and a fighter. He took down trolls, Nazgul, and the burden that is The Ring. In the movies, he is a damsel in distress. Frodo is consumed by fear and backs down at anything. Instead of being the unmitigated hero, he became satire and one-dimensional.

The filmmakers made this movie beautifully. It did not disappoint. It put actual faces to the names, scenery with the cities, and voices to the dialogue. Overall, this was not a bad changeover in the history of 'book to film'.

Until next time,

Google Scholar

Where else would you go to look up topics for your research paper? Did you say Hogwarts's Library? No? Me neither heh... uhh, next question.

I love Google Scholar because, to me, it gives me unbiased, to an extent, content in which I can journal or write a paper. It has useful information right on the homepage without having to search for dates, authors, and how to cite. It can be a bit overwhelming if you use this to search for a broad topic. I usually like to use Wikipedia to find my general topic and narrow down my parameters and then use Google Scholar.

I have never heard of OneSearch before now. Its name is deceiving because in my mind I thought it would make searching easier, but it looks the same as regular Google. Maybe I’m not doing it correctly? Any insight on what I’m doing wrong? Is there a better site to use for researching? Let me know! Byyee ✌

Hey guys❤!

I am going to introduce myself here, on my Tumblr! My name is Aubree, and I am from Indiana.

I currently go to college at Ball State University for Business Administration. I want to further my education to be a light in the realm of Health Care. I want to build an empire where the fear of doctors is a thing of the past: where all can afford proper healthcare. I work in healthcare and love what I do. Being able to make a difference in our patient's lives is beyond the best feeling in the world.

The main reason why I chose Tumblr as my canvas to journal on is that it speaks to my 16-year-old emo/punk self🤘🏼. I bet my younger self would be proud of me right now😂. Unless you want to be scared to death, I would suggest not scrolling through my Tumblr too far.

I hope you all have an amazing rest of your day: until next time...
