I believe in the liberating power of not taking life too seriously. In a world that often feels heavy with expectations, responsibilities, and uncertainties, there is an art to taking a step back and realizing that its not that serious. Originally, I was going to write about nothing is that serious, but that is not true. I have learned that some things are that serious and it is not okay to belittle how someone feels about something. It is okay though, to personally realize that something is not that big of a deal and the world hasn’t exploded because of one small thing. Sometimes, people get too caught up in life and the problems it throws at them and take things too seriously. Life is a journey filled with unpredictable twists and turns, and in the grand scheme of things, our daily concerns may seem small. I believe that by believing that things are never too serious, we free ourselves from the weight of unnecessary stress and anxiety. Humor is what I have found to be a great way to ease stress. Laughter has the incredible ability to dissolve tension and break down barriers. Whether it's finding humor in our own mistakes or appreciating the absurdity of certain situations, just take a step back and realize it's going to be fine. I learned this while working over the summer. There will always be angry customers no matter what you do, but I didn’t get angry with them or stress about what I did wrong. I realized that no matter what you do, someone will find something wrong with what you did. So don’t take it too seriously. Not taking things too seriously does not imply a lack of dedication or responsibility. Instead, it encourages us to approach life with a sense of playfulness and resilience. It allows us to bounce back from setbacks. In relationships, adopting a more carefree attitude encourages compassion. When we don't take every interaction or disagreement as a personal attack, we create space for empathy and open communication. This approach enables us to build deeper connections with others. Don’t bother wasting time getting angry or upset with small things that won't matter tomorrow. You begin to miss out on great connections and relationships that you would have made. So, let us embrace the art of not taking life too seriously. Let us find the humor in the every day, approach challenges with resilience, and not take anything for granted. After all, our ability to laugh and enjoy life is the true measure of a life well-lived.

Reading Campaign Proposal

  Noah Hunter   R eading Campaign Proposal   To grasp the attention of the majority of the high, I have chosen to do a social media campaign. I believe that it is the most effective way to get o ther high schoolers to view it. Posters hanging around the school go unnoticed all the time, but a social media account always gets an initial view. I believe that most students are on some type of social me dia and will see my campaign, even if they don’t want to. They might see me from a story repost or see my account as a recommended account. There will be a couple posts spanned out within a few days. The posts will have an attention-grabbing image and a quote about reading. There will be a hashtag an d it will be # readersareleaders . That will be my hashtag because it’s catchy and shares a simple message. I will be posting on Instagram because I feel most confident that it will be the most engaging social media I could use. In the bio of the Instagram page, I wil...

Course Reflection

Contemporary Literature Course Reflection  I signed up for this course because I thought it would be a blowoff class. This class far exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed this class because it forced me to read books and I actually enjoyed reading. The book choices were so fun.      My favorite novel that we read in class this semester was "The Art of Racing in The Rain". I really enjoyed the realistic problems that Denny was thrown into and the idea of the dog being the narrator. I really enjoyed most novels we read in class but this one was definitely my favorite.     My favorite project was the This I Believe. I really enjoyed getting to explain how I feel and what I believe in. I enjoyed being able to use personal experiences to discuss why I feel a certain way about something. Reading it into the computer was kind of fun to do too.     I think that students should take this course to rekindle their love for reading. I hated reading before I too...

Literacy Project reflection

 Literacy Project Reflection My project was social media posts. I posted three times and used Instagram as my platform. I had a link to an article in my bio and also a link to a video about reading there. I wanted to spread facts about reading and help support people to read. I used a handful of different messages to get my point across. My captions held more information about reading, just in case a follower was curious and the post did not satisfy them. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cw38FsCuD85/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cw5GsfhuU7D/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cw8_ZNoLTAF/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== https://www.healthline.com/health/benefits-of-reading-books https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShdRyZDFx4U      My first post was used to spread the idea that reading is masculine. I created an eye-catching post with a short an...
