My Reflection on other Artists' blogs

Practice makes perfect, in which case, "A Brush With Color" touches upon the aspects of practicing a single subject in which we find comfort in. Although being open to a variety of ideas, thoughts and subjects is good, sometimes sticking with a particular one is even better. By sticking with a particular "color" we find ourselves more comfortable and aware of how to practice it and therefore making it easier to use. "A Brush With Color" also anticipates the rule of practice and how beneficial it will be once we apply it to a particular subject; or "color" as the blog states it. The reason for which I took interest in this blog is because I too chose a color of my own: my major. In order to succeed in my major I have to practice the skills I will be given in school. My color is Psychology and I plan to continue practicing this color until I accomplish all I have yearned for.

Another blog that i find fascinating by Suzanne Smith is "Thursday September 11, 2008". What makes this piece of art different then the rest of her blogs is how she relates her tragic experience with the catastrophe that occurred on September 11, 2001 . Since she suffered from a recent car accident, she was reminded on this painful day of how there were many more individuals who suffered and passed away on that day of history. Although i am not able to relate to a life risking experience as Suzanne Smith has, reading her blog and reflecting on the occurrence of september 11th changed my perspective on life. I now realize how i should not take life for granted and "how things in life really are capable of changing in an instant".

The College life as of now!

From my experience, the most exciting thing about college is having  a new beginning. This means new school , new teachers, new schedule and most importantly meeting new people. So far, college has been an enjoyable experience for me. Dorming has allowed me to make new friendships outside of the classrooms and it is very convenient for me to be so close to all my professors. 

The most intimidating thing about college is the environment. College is different from high school. Everyone is more reserved to themselves and concentrated on their studies. Whereas in high school having a social life was very crucial in order to "fit-in". Although this is a juristic transformation from high school to college, I believe this change will benefit me. Now I am more obligated to be more focused on my studies and therefore i will do better in all my classes.

A Skill To Master

From my experience, writing is not difficult unless I do not understand the prompt I am given in class to write about. Instead, I believe writing is a valuable skill to master. Therefore, I enjoy writing when I have the opportunity. Through all my years of education, I have been taught that it is necessary to acquire decent writing skills for anything I encounter in life. Whether I will need it for school, my career or for communication, writing is used for everything. This is why I feel writing is important and I try to be the best writer I can be.
