Social Media Week

Okay so as far as social media goes I definitely leardned a lot. I learned that Facebook is even more horrible than I had previously thought. Just kidding. I did however learn that Facebook in most cases is more damging to friendships than people realize. Such as what was dicussed in the artical "How Facebook Ruins Relationships," it discusses how people are more bold with what they will say on Facebook rather than what they will say in person. So thwt can obviously be damaging to a relationship, even if you were in just a debate with your friends and not an argument.
I never really got on Facebook anyway because I didn't see the point in it, but with employers looking at it and even teachers I don't mess with it even more now because I feel i is a waste of time, but I do still have it for future employers. What I did like about Facebook were the clever statuses people posted, that is all I liked Facebook for, so when we ha to do this social media week project I chose Twiiter because all it is are statuses.
Twitter has kept me entertained but as I get more used to it all I do is look at @MensHumor, but I do follow companies that pertain to my major so I do get updates on things like that, so all in all I do use Twitter to be productive and for recreational use.

MBTI

This MBTI thing kind of reinforced what I already knew because my parents when I was littlethey woukd make me make flash cards for my science tests and say them out loud so I heard them, saw them, and wrote them down. So at an early age I was forced into the three ways of learning, so I kind of got an advantage early because I just kept with the three styles of learning absent mindedly.
I liked this assignment though because it made me really thinkabout myself and break down the components to help me better myself, which I have already put to use on my homework. Or like it made look at procrastinating in a different way, such as I know I procrastinate, but I feel like I do my best work when I'm pressed for time. This is true with me from the science fair from my first blog, and that is not the only time I've done that. For example, With my first Calculus test I only studied for a half hour before the test and I got a 91% on it.
So its not that I procrastinate I just like the added pressure of a fast approaching deadline. And it has taught me to incorporate different types of learning styles into my studying.
