Fine Arts

In the art gallery in the UC they recently have had a lot of black and white canvases set up in the room. If you were to walk in and just randomly look at them it wouldn't mean very much. I however really tried to look at them and see what the artist really wanted others to see. A lot of the pictures had a city scene some where in the picture. They all had extreme detail in them and showed very specific emotion in all the peoples faces. You could tell if they were showing a positive or negative emotion also based on how light or dark the shades of gray and black were. I'm not really an artsy person so I can't really look at an artistic piece and really understand what it means, but I think I will continue to walk in the Art Gallery. It is really amazing how artistically capable some people are. I think I might just take an art class sometime and see how artsy I can be.

The First Football Game

The first football game was absolutely one to remember! We played against Maryville College and won 56-7. I would have to say that #3 was the best player of the game! The game was very good and I loved watching it but after we were up by so much I started to watch the band and cheerleaders more. The cheerleaders were very good except for the one that let a girl fall from a stunt. I am positive that she must have been sore for a long time because that fall looked like it hurt really bad! The fans were definitely excited to be at that game. My mom even got her picture taken with one of the students that had dressed up in a morph costume. If the really pumped up fans weren't wearing morph costumes they had their chests painted. I am very excited for the next game especially because it is family weekend so the crowd will be much bigger!

Personality Test

When I got on to take my personality test I wasn't sure what kind of questions the test would have on it. I wasn't sure what my results would be either. I know what things I like and don't like to do but seeing the actual results on paper wasn't something I could predict. The actual questions were easy to answer, easier than I thought. The highest score I got was of course social. I am a very social person so working in an office or any closed environment would drive me crazy. Next I got enterprising. I can see where that would be high on the charts also because I like that side of business. Last I got investigative. I also see where I would score high in that because I like to find things out for myself and kinda figure things out. I just wonder if the results would ever change maybe in different stages of someones life.

Career Assessment Day

Today we had quite a few students come in and talk to us more about business opportunities. Some were here to talk about different accounting clubs. Some talked to us about fraternities that were all about business. However the one that got my attention the most was the girl who talked about a study abroad opportunity. Although my major might change I still think it would be an unforgetable opportunity to study somewhere other than the United States. Just the chance to see the way other people live and how their day to day lives work is amazing to me. I really want to go to some of their meetings to get more information about the different places that I could possibly go to study abroad. When ever a good chance comes up I will absolutely take it. Until then I will be saving up lots of money!

Group Lecture 1

During our group lecture we all learned the strict importance of graduating college. This is so important and can even mark the difference in around 1 million more dollars made in a life time. Now a days, especially in these tough economic times, it is extremely important and maybe even vital to have a college degree to get a good high paying job. For some companies a resume without any record of college time on it is not even taken seriously. Just four years can make a world of difference in the rest of your lifetime. So when college starts to get tough I continually motivate myself by thinking of what 4 years of hard work can do for many many years until retirement. It really is a million dollar difference!
