Fantasy World

 

    We all know about the tradition that comes along with new years; New Years Resolutions. However, I personally do not view them as resolutions but as goals I set for myself. I find the perspective of setting goals at the beginning the year makes you more likely to be disciplined throughout the year to be able to look back and acknowledge all the progress you made. This year one of my main goals was to read at least one book per week. I used to never enjoy reading but once senior year of high school came along I started to find books that really attracted me and allowed me to feel as if I was there in the book with the characters. Now reading is one of my biggest hobbies and I wouldn't trade it for anything. 

    I have continuously bought books even when I am not done with the current one I am reading and this year. I plan on catching up with all of those I have purchased and I will not buy anymore books until I have completed reading the ones I have yet to read. I plan on starting off with Shadow and Bone as I have continuously started it but have yet to finish it. I choose this book because I have watched the show but have yet to read the trilogy and personally I always find the books to be better than either the movies and shows. Some people say other wise but I personally believe shows and movies do not tell the story line as well as the books. There are so many things left unsaid and and details left out that only books portray. One last thing that I admire about reading is that although they are fictional yo are able to truly take away certain things and be able to bring them into reality. Reading plays a major role in my life and I am so excited to continue my journey with them.

    This year I plan to travel through various fantasy worlds through the books I read. Be able to enjoy new places and people and allow my imagination to wonder through the depths of each and every book I read. On the contrary this month I have definitely fallen behind on my goals with school starting and transitioning back to one job. This month has been tremendously busy but now since I am getting back into a routine I can get started and focus on my personal goals again.

Social Media's connection with Mental Health

  Is there a connection between social media and mental health? The answer to that question is yes and as technology grows and social media platforms progress the more individuals are aware of the connection.      On a personal level I have first-hand come to realize how social media can affect one's mental health. I remember when I first got on social media, I was constantly comparing myself to other females on the platform and wished that I could look like how they did. Then I was fixated on how many likes I got on each of my posts. Social media was destroying my mental health and self-esteem day in and day out. I would constantly look at my phone to see if I had any notifications from someone trying to follow me or liking one of my posts. However, I made changes and over the years since then I have made sure to take time away from social media by completely deleting my accounts and refocusing in on me when I started to feel the negative impact again. Social media ...
