My challenges & experiences at college.

 College is definitely a new and different experience from how I've experienced school in the past. On the one hand, I get to take classes that actually interest me, and go through becoming more independent. On the other hand however, this new experience has stressed me out majorly. This transition has undeniably been a difficult one for me, that's for sure.

Being social and not surrounding my life around things that need to be done has always been hard for me. In my eyes, I have a long, never-ending list of things to complete that just takes up all of my time. I try to manage my time, but when more things get added to that list, I end up getting really overwhelmed. So not only do I not give socializing the proper attention that it needs, I also am constantly feeling too exhausted to socialize.

I've also struggled to find my footing in some of my classes. I switched most of my classes late, so trying to catch up proves to be challenging. Especially since I didn't get the same introductions to the classes that everyone else has gotten. However, I am trying my hardest to push through to the end of the year. Hopefully then, I'll have had enough of the college experience to know whether or not I'll be able to keep going.

All I Want for Christmas is its History!

Image
♡₊˚ 🦢・₊✧ Christmas is, personally, my favorite holiday, and with it coming up, I thought it would be nice to look into its history and how it came to be. Originally, before christianity took over the holiday; creating it into what it is known as now; it was called Yule by pagans and was known to be a celebration of the winter solstice. Although Yule has been transformed a lot over the centuries, many of the traditions  have transitioned themselves into Christmas traditions that we take part in now. Pagans would use the wood of specific trees to light a bonfire, made to ward off the darkness and welcome the return of the sun, as well as ensure warmth. This is what we now call the "Yule log". Evergreen trees were put in homes and decorated with food, runes, statues, and strips of cloth. There also may or may not have been human sacrifices for the atonement of humans and their misdeeds. After christianity became established as a religion, christians traveled to Northern Europe ...

Think Pink!!!

Image
 I am a very indecisive person. Often times, having a hard time choosing favorites of things, such as color. Even though I don't have a favorite color, I feel like there is no denying how good of a color pink is. Pink is pretty in all its shades. It can go with any other color flawlessly. On clothes, in rooms, or even with cars, pink is a beautiful and show stopping color.  Some may feel that pink is a girly, and therefore inferior color to others, but I like to think otherwise. Partly because I feel like just because you like a different color, doesn't mean you have to put down other colors. Also because it makes me upset that many things that girls grow up doing, liking, or are pushed onto them are frequently seen automatically as lesser than anything that is seen as masculine. I feel like it is also important to mention that pink used to be seen as a masculine color as it derived from red. Red being acquainted with rage, power, royalty, etc. and worn by men because of that,...

The Rape of Proserpina

Image
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧   ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ This image shows a statue created by medieval Roman artist Bernini; called The Rape of Proserpina . Based on a hymn to Demeter by Homer; A story about Demeter experiencing the loss of her daughter, Persephone, as she is taken from her by Ruler of the Underworld, Hades. Hades, tricking Persephone with a flower that she plucked from the ground making it crumble underneath her, whisks her off in his chariot, taking her to be his bride. This statue shows a point in the story where Hades captures Persephone from her in the meadow. I enjoy looking at Bernini's work, one that I like in particular is based on the myth of Apollo and Daphne. His work is quite beautiful and a lot of it often looks so realistic with all of the details that he takes into account. However, in the case of this piece of work, his attention to detail and realism, I feel, makes this statue almost scary.  Displayed on Persephone's face is sheer fear as she tries to use her hands to push H...
