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?

Watching

Hello Everyone, This week in class we are talking about location based narratives. A location based narrative is a narrative that uses a certain location to help tell a story and engage the viewers. So our assignment is to create a location based narrative. To help come up with an idea for this assignment, I turned to the weekly journal post which I chose sit/stand/document the same spot each day for a week. The spot I chose was the main lobby of the Living Learning Center (LLC). I documented this spot each day when heading to class or to lunch in the LLC café around the same time. I will break it down by a list below. Monday: I was heading to class and saw 3 people. Two were heading to the resident side of the LLC and one was going to the café. Tuesday: I was heading to lunch in the LLC. I didn't see anybody in the lobby when passing through. Wednesday: I was heading to class and saw 3 people standing over the news papers and 2 people were walking into the building. Thursda...

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....

Inspiration Family Tree

Hello Everyone, This week's journal entry is to develop a family tree of narratives or social media accounts that influence you. Well after thought, I narrowed my two main inspirations for social media. The first one would be the Warhammer 40k subreddit. Reddit in general is an online community where there are different pages for different groups or interests, that people can post about those interests. These different smaller pages are called subreddits. The Warhammer 40k subreddit is a group about the hoby of 40k that players and hobbyist alike can come and post questions about the game, pictures about the models they are painting, and many other topics within the hobby. What inspires me about this social media account is the sense of community within the group. Each person is there for a reason, and we all want to see each others accomplishments and the battle reports(games) that we all played. The overall feel of the subreddit is serious in the fact that we are all there to ta...
