Technology

I already know how to use many of the microsoft programs like word, powerpoint, and excel. I learned how to use these three programs on a higher level because I took a computer class my freshman year to better understand these programs to help me in my academic and work life. I'm really glad I did that because it helped me through pre calc, english classes, and economic class, just to name a few. 

I should learn to (il)legally download music, books, and other documents. I know this sounds ridiculous, but downloading such documents could truly help me save money  in college because maybe I don't have to buy all my books which add up quickly. My boyfriend was telling me that he's saved so much money on books due to downloading books. Plus I'll probably be on my computer very often anyways, so it would always be with me which would save me the time to haul the books around. 

Happiness is the Best Medicine

There are exactly as many special occasions in life as we choose to celebrate. ~Robert Brault

I like this quote by Robert Brault because its completely true that we can choose how to react to situations. If you are a positive person, you can take any bad situation and find something worth smiling about in it. However, if you are a negative person, you might look at good situations as ephemeral or not to your standards. Its very important to have a good outlook in life because bad things can happen everyday, but if you're able to take something good out of it, you can grow as a person. That type of characteristic is infectious and eventually, the people around you will be able to feel the positivity emulating from you. Scientifically, if you surround yourself with positive people and you are an optimistic person, you live longer and are more successful as well.
