 For the Ramayana we will be reading next week, I decided to choose the Public Domain Edition: Ramayana. I chose this edition because its various styles and authors. I think it will make it easier to choose different plot elements to tell my own story. I also like that the Public Domain Edition contains lots of illustrations while the modern editions contain none at all. I can possibly use the illustrations used in the reading for my blog posts. The Public Domain Edition overall features some key factors I could not pass up, as I feel they will go a long way in making my assignments easier. One of the comics I chose was Vishvamrita: The King Who Became an Ascetic . I chose this one because the story sounds amusing, it is about a King who the greatest of all sages. The second comic I chose is The Sons of Rama: Luv and Kush -- The Invincible Twins . I chose this one because of the title, the idea behind invincible twins was too intriguing to pass up. The video I chose is Foods for Go...

 I read the articles 4 Questions to Help You Overcome Procrastination and Realistic Study Plans . I learned the importance of making study goals and that no plan is the wrong plan. I think it is easiest to break down my studying in small increments because I get distracted easily. Something new I will try this semester is asking myself the questions from the article   4 Questions to Help You Overcome Procrastination . It introduced the fact that everyone has a problem with procrastination but asking yourself the right questions can help you start getting things done. As far as a time management strategy goes I really try to get things done at least a day ahead and not wait until the day something is due to begin.  (Source: Needpix )

    I am really familiar with the use of different browsers and extensions we will use for this class. This is different from any other online class I have taken because they did not stress the importance of branching out on different tech tools. One good extension I would recommend for your browser is Grammarly which is good for correcting your grammar and writing structure. Another extension I use for all of my browsers is ad-blocker. One other browser that you could use besides Firefox and Google Chrome is Microsoft Edge. Microsoft Edge is a new browser that is meant to replace internet explorer which has been around since I was in elementary school.  (Source: Needpix )

    For this semester some of the assignments that I am most intrigued by are the writing of storybooks. I find it interesting how we can use our interpretation of the different stories and understandably rewrite them. This class is unlike any other class in how we are in charge of keeping ourselves accountable for our assignments grading as well as the writing of blogs. One of the extra credit options I found interesting was the tech tips. Having the opportunity to use memes and image editing as a way to earn extra points and advance in this class is different from the more common forms of earning extra  credit. (Source: Pikrepo )

 I had never heard of Carol Dweck or the concept of growth mindset before. I found the first video very intriguing as it opened my eyes to the ideas behind the growth mindset. I would compare myself more to what Carol Dweck said about the kids that had the inherent mindset to want to improve. In many different aspects of my life growing up, I can see how the growth mindset may have related to developing different skills. Personally, I think I would be interested in learning more about the growth mindset and how it will affect generations to come over the course of the semester. I am really excited about this class, however, I do have a few biology electives I am worried about this semester. Specifically, I am most worried about my microbiology and cell biology classes.     (Source: Flickr )

 Hello, My name is Wesley Williams and I am a biology pre-dentistry major. The coolest thing about my major is that I only had to take Calculus and not go any further in math. One of the best classes I took last semester was Native American Music. It was really easy and the teacher made it very enjoyable as we learned about the music culture of different Native American tribes. One of my biggest accomplishments last semester was going on a vegetarian diet for two weeks. A few of my favorite TV shows are Snowfall, Breaking Bad, Money Heist, and Power. A couple of my favorite movies are Blue Streak, Juice, Paid in Full, and American Assassin. Some of my favorite music artists are Juice Wrld, Polo G, Money Man, and Rod Wave. I listen to a lot of different artists but those are a few that I am currently listening to a lot. Some of my hobbies are playing video games, working out, and watching TV. One thing I would like to try if I had more time is going golfing. A few of my favorite foo...

 ( Ramayan Brothers )     I really enjoyed this topic because it was something I was familiar with. The writer of this topic used a well-known game in order to present this topic which made it really easy to relate to. The use of pictures also helped me realize that was his intention. The introduction does a really good job of laying out the plot of the story as well as displaying the characters involved. The introduction was definitely enticing, in that it prompted me to want to read the story. The creativeness alone is what actually drew me in the most. The design I enjoyed the most was that some of the pages featured cover images that would lie behind the writing. I definitely think the use of images and cover images to write over is something I would like to include in some of my own blog posts.

Los Angeles, California . The Grove in Los Angeles, California is one of my favorite places to visit when I am there. The Grove is a shopping center and is one of my favorite places to shop and get food in California. Here is a photo that was taken by a photographer of the train that goes throughout the shopping center. This photo also features what the nightlife is like at The Grove. ( Photo by Praynito )

I miss Juice Wrld .
