something i wanna learn 🧶

-

       This third week blog post kinda had me stuck at first because I wasn't sure what to write about. So, naturally, I went to google. I'll probably be going back to that list of "blog post ideas" throughout the weeks but for this week, I want to talk about a common hobby for others that I always wanted to get in to, but just never did: knitting/crocheting/sewing. First of all if anyone reading this knows how to do any of those, or has a grandma that does, please teach me! My grandma used to crochet blankets for my cousins and I all the time when we were younger. I loved them so much and when I got old enough to try, she told me she hadn't crocheted in years and forgot how. That kinda discouraged me to want to try it anymore. 


     Recently on social media, Pinterest especially, I've been seeing a lot of gorgeous crochet-knit tops, bathing suits, and even pants. There's a bunch of new fashion trends that involve crochet-knitted items, and different things that are sewn together like patches on jeans, or two separate contrasted pant legs sewn together to form a new pair. I think these are so trendy and cute! I always thought to myself if I could get into this I would make my own clothes how I want them! One of my friends' friend does this and is in college for design. She made her own birthday outfit and is planning to make someone's prom dress this year! I think that is so cool and just a good skill to have incase you need to stitch up a rip or something like that. Writing this blog is making me actually want to learn; at least just some basics of sewing. 

    I'm definitely into supporting small business and buy items like these from my friends or people in my city to support them and be fashionable, hahah. Overall, I think it's a really fun skill to learn and if I could even come close to sewing or knitting clothing items I would feel so accomplished!

    I always have trouble figuring out what I want to write for a blog post too. I've never learned to knit, crochet, or sew. It does look so cool sometimes. I've seen on social media all these people making clothes or like animals and it just makes me want to do it. But I know If I tried I would end up messing up so many times and just giving up. In fact I actually went to a festival and there were some tents with liked crocheted clothing and animals. It just looked so cool. It made me wanna buy them and wear them one and then never wear them again. I would be too afraid they would fall apart easily. And I think for one of your future posts you could talk about your friend making the prom dress and showing pictures, obviously with her permission.

after tiller

       After watching the documentary, "After Tiller," I feel more compassion, respect, and empathy towards healthcare providers and women. This documentary is showcasing the hardships doctors who perform third trimester abortions go through, especially after the assassination of their colleague and friend, George Tiller. There wasn't one scene in particular that stood out to me, because the whole documentary felt like the "same" story, but with different women and reasons as to why they're getting an abortion. When the women were explaining different health issues their babies' had, I was getting teary eyed. It's definitely heartbreaking hearing about these rare and life threatening diseases, and it's even worse when the parents think it's their fault that this sickness happened. I couldn't imagine being in that situation and having to make that type of decision. The way the doctors guided the parents, and really listened to them and wer...

Experimental Design Reflection

-
      While doing the experimental design project, I learned a lot about writing, and about myself as a writer. I usually don't use statistics and data based evidence or diction in my writing, it's mostly analysis and more pathos based. For this project I got to do both though. My group chose to recruit volunteers for Fair Haven Rape Crisis Center organization. While looking on the website, there was a lot of data and logistics, so I had to first understand what everything meant in order to analyze it. But, this topic of providing help and support to people who have been sexually assaulted, is very emotion and feeling based, which is how I like to write and topics I like to write about.      My role in the group was to do the annotated bibliography, which is what I wanted to do because I wanted to find and read different articles that could support our organization to get a better understanding of the whole thing and to help for the project. I think I ...

end of November 🦃🍂

    The end of the month, similar to the end of the semester, creeped up on us so quick! To follow up from my last blog, my birthday weekend was so fun. I'm grateful for my friends and family for taking time to make me feel special. I am so grateful for having a big family because Thanksgiving day was so much fun. Literally all my cousins and aunts and uncles were in town this year and we were together all day. It's really the little moments that you should cherish and remember forever. This mini break was well needed to just take time to relax and catch up on sleep. I also helped my mom put up the Christmas tree and decorate outside. I love Christmas and we literally did it the day after Thanksgiving.      Unfortunately, I didn't take advantage of the break school-wise. I came into break saying to myself, "You're gonna get so much work done and study to be ahead!" and I didn't really do a thing regarding school work. That being said, I'm going to bing...
