#randomquestion

What word or saying from the past do you think should come back?

Word.

It's what you say when you agree with someone someone else has said. For example:

Person 1: Yo, these hot dogs are amazing!
Person 2: Word.
[both eat hot dogs]

#randomquestion: Online Education

What do you think of online education?

I think online education is really, really awesome. I think it opens a lot of doors for a lot of different people and that it can be a great opportunity to get a higher education! Many parents, who can't leave their house for hours at a time can take advantage of online education. Or students who don't have a car and can't travel. Or they don't have enough money for room & board, and can only afford tuition. There are a lot of benefits to going to school online. And with technology as great as it is, it's very easy to feel like you're in a classroom setting while sitting in your PJs on the couch. 

I got my masters online, and I often brag that I got my MA in my sweatpants. We had to participate in discussions, present PowerPoint to our class, write papers, and work on group projects just like on campus students. Working entirely online also prepares you for technology and forces you to learn new tech. Prezi, Google Drive, Drop Box, YouTube, to name a few. 

You definitely need to be focused and organized to complete a degree online. And it might take a little longer, but if you have the patience and gusto, it's well worth it. 

#randomquestion: personal hell

It's more like 2 questions today.

What does your own personal hell look like? How about your own personal heaven?

A personal hell would be someplace where it's always loud, and where someone is always yelling. Doesn't have to be at me, but yelling in general. I'd be stuck in a room with someone playing Call of Duty, yelling at the TV, and I'd be right next to this person screaming for help because I was sick or something was wrong. And I'm always cold. That's my personal hell.

A personal heaven is much nicer! First of all, it's quiet, but not dead silent. There can be nice music, or just ambiance sounds. It's preferably outside in the sun, but it's not too hot. Overall, though, it's just pleasant, and there are absolutely no first-person-shooter games!

#randomquestion: funny videos

What was the last funny video you saw?

An oldie, but a goodie. Jenna and Julien playing with helium booth. It's like photobooth on a mac, but also changes you voice. If you're looking for more Jenna and Julien funny videos, you can click here, here, or here. I love them together, and I think they're pretty funny when they do videos together. They compliment each other completely. ALSO, it took me a loooong time to warm up to Julien, just because of the name, but I'm over it, and now he's one of the only vloggers I watch. 

#randomquestion: Technology

Does technology simplify life or make it more complicated?

Yes. I think certain things have gotten easier with the invention of technology. I got my masters degree ONLINE. I hardly was forced to leave the house. Technology can be amazing! BUT I think it messes up the simple things. Like getting out of the house, going for a walk, visiting a zoo, or eating at a restaurant. People are so consumed with posting or tweeting, that they can't see what's in front of their face... 

Whaaa?!

Random Question

What were you really into when you were a kid?

Frogs. Not the real kind, but the fake kind. Any sort of frog jewelry, stationary, t-shirts, anything. 

Boy bands. New Kids on the Block. 'Nsync. Backstreet Boys. 

I wish I could say The Wiggles... but I was into them in high school, which is embarrassing and confusing. 

Monday's are always rough for me. I usually work for 6 hours, and then have to go teach tap for another 3. And for some reason, my students have been crazy for the past few weeks. So I usually end up with a headache and really hungry... 

We got our girl scout cookies today. I stashed a box of Samoa's in my desk at work... don't tell Peter.
