Questions...Why Do We Ask Them?

Hello Everyone,

For the first week's prompt I chose "10 questions I have". Thinking about it, we all have more than just 10 questions. Each question can have a level of complexity too, is it serious, is it comical, or just a simple we want to know the answer. For example, one question I wrote down was "Am I over thinking". I think we can all agree, that is a difficult question and there are multiple variables to that answer. A lighter question was "What am I going to do for dinner". That can vary on the options, where is there to eat, what am I in the mood for. But besides what the question truly is, why do we ask them?

I think the one main answer to why we ask questions is we want to learn. Being a college student, almost every syllabus day the professor always says if we have a question ask. We are paying enough money for this education so asking questions is almost crucial for us to take advantage of it. Asking questions can then build off what we are learning and take us down a road to new discoveries and open the door for new understandings. But does learning have to have a serious connotation to it or can it just be because I want to know. Questions can make you think more than you ever wanted to on one subject. For example, are the colors I see the same as yours? To explain a bit more, the red I see might look green to you but we both call it red. Now I bet there is some scientific reason why that is not so but it is one of those simple questions that can make you debate and think.

No matter where we go in life, we need to ask questions. I do not believe we would of gotten this far a species without doing so. These questions can be a simple as who is that or as complicated as why does gravity work? I think we owe it to our selves to ask all the questions we can. Take all that knowledge coming in, then build on the answers we learn. Then with our knowledge, answer questions. It is only right if we had our questions answered to then go answer somebody else's questions.

I will leave you with one question to ask yourself...what are you going to do for dinner tonight?

Being Boring

Hello Everyone, This week the journal entry I chose was "Describe what I do in six words". This prompt took me a bit to think about because it made me think well what do I really do on a day to day basis. As a college student I do my studying but then what else? I play video games, watch movies, hang out with friends, etc, but when I reflect on it, I came up with what I do in six words... I am a boring college student. I think there is something to say about being boring. I enjoy the simple things in life, I just like to sit back and watch what is happening, that is not to say that I won't chase what I want but I'm not one to go and have a wild time out. I like sitting in my room with my friends and just talking and bs'ing the night away. I'll go out and have fun with them, but we don't go looking for fun, we just go have it. I think boring can be a good thing to be, I get my work done, I can manage my time affectively, and I can still have a great life.

Do I Really Want to Say This?

Hello Everyone, This week's journal prompt is " Write something that could get you fired, expelled, or disowned”. Well since wee post the journal prompts online, well I first thought, why would I post something online that could possibly get me in trouble. Well also we were encourage then to turn our answer from this prompt into an interactive narrative so I thought this is a little more reasonable. What I first though was an insult that I could possibly tell a boss one day and how I could turn this into an interactive narrative. Well the narrative that I thought of was a scenario about you going to you boss to quit after you felt like you have been mistreated at the company and the boss has done nothing to help you. The narrative would continue on with you walking into your boss's office a little hot heading, fired up, and ready to tell it to your boss and quit. Then the narrative would have the player select what they would want to say to there boss and then there woul

A Reminder to Smile

Hello Everyone, This week I chose the prompt where the page was blank and it said to ask the closet person to you what to do with this page. They said draw a smiley face and so a smiley face I drew. After I drew the face it made me think, do I smile enough. Now admittedly that is a pretty cheesy question to ask oneself but I can raise other questions. These thoughts can be based off of last weeks blog, Questions...Why Do We Ask Them, so feel free to read that one before this, https://mit48.blogspot.com/2017/09/questionswhy-do-we-ask-them.html. With the world we live in, it has been not the happiest of place. With all the recent terror attacks and hate groups, I think we need to remind our selves how lucky we can be. I find amusement in the little things, that is what makes me smile. Find what makes you smile, find what makes you happy. If you have found it then use it. I think we all need to remember to smile or find that one thing that makes us happy. Then at the end of the day, d
