Feedback Thoughts

I liked this graphic because feedback used to make me upset but now I appreciate feedback.

Without making this a soap box, most 'feedback' in my life has come in the form of criticism. So feedback kind of scares me but I look forward to trying to change that. As I graduate and enter the workforce, I want to be a great asset to my future employer and I know a good way to grow is to collaborate and embrace feedback.

I really liked Seven Ways to Crush Self-Doubt. It touches upon exactly what I have been feeling lately when it comes to what I may be doing 6 months from now. What the author suggests can be applied to major life changes or to smaller, daily tasks. I appreciate his own vulnerability, he never made me feel like what he was proposing was impossible.

I also liked Why Rejection Hurts So Much. It was interesting to know the science behind rejection. It was nice to be reminded that everything that happens is not because of me in particular. I'm a believer in things happening for a reason but it can be difficult to separate myself from situations.

An academic example of feedback that I've learned a lot from is giving and receiving comments on assignments. In high school I hated when teachers said to switch papers with someone for revisions. I was so worried that my peers would judge me. As I've matured though I know people don't care as much as I thought they did. Now when professors want us students to exchange work I look forward to the comments and hope that my own feedback is helpful to them.

    Hey Mariah,
    I like your image of feedback. I feel like I am the same way. I did not like feedback before, but now I am more receptive towards it. I understand the benefits from it. I hope that when provide feedback for each other we find it useful. As you said, "a good way to grow is to collaborate and embrace feedback."
    Your classmate,
    Joanna

Introduction to the Soon Graduating Mariah

Hello~ My name is Mariah. I am an Environmental Sustainability: Planning and Management senior. I graduated high school in Arizona but I have lived in North Dakota, Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma so home just ends up being wherever I am at the moment. I am equally excited and not excited about graduating in May. I'm not sure what I want to do after graduation, whether it be get a job or continue with school, so it can be a little stressful when people always ask. Right now my dream job would be working at a cosmetics company and making the products more environmentally friendly. The coolest thing I've ever done is study abroad in Seoul, South Korea ( my favorite place ). I always have a story to share, which can sometimes make my friends and family a little crazy. I had wanted to travel abroad for as long as I could remember and actually following through with it was amazing. Even though some days were hard I had a lot of fun and would recommend Korea or just studying abroad i

Week 2 Story: The Sleepy Koala

Image
Story There once was a sleepy koala who spent most of his time in eucalyptus trees. One day when he was eating some eucalyptus leaves he came across a branch that did not look like the others. He asked " what shall I do with this odd branch? " He thought maybe he should try to eat it, although it didn't look very tasty. He thought another time to throw it down into the river where it could float away and bother a different creature. To his surprise the branch once answered back. It said " if you, sleepy koala, want me out of your sight just bury me under some dirt where the sun shines and I will never bother you in this form again ." The koala was hesitant. It would require a lot of work for him to leave his tree to bury this branch. He was very busy with his 22 hours of sleep and 2 hours of eating leaves. Nonetheless he decided it was important to get rid of the strange branch once and for all. He climbed down his tree and followed the branch's instruc
