For Wednesday’s classes, I was searching for all fields of psychology and writing down feelings about them.

Instead of class Wednesday, I spent my time reading about Ariel Property Advisors, a commercial real estate service and advisory. I have an upcoming interview with them for a summer internship next week. I definitely need to start preparing for it and reading more about the company so I know what I am talking about during the interview. As mentioned in my proposal, I am hoping that my future career is within the real estate industry, so this opportunity would give me a better understanding of real estate. I also had an internship for a different real estate company last summer, and I enjoyed it so much that it lead me to believe I want to do something along those lines for my career. Since real estate is such a popular career, it is difficult to find many opportunities for an internship so it is important that I am well prepared for my upcoming interview.

For the 10 minute technique, I decided to watch a video about stocks and what to look for in stocks. I learned to look for things such as the price earning ratio or PE ratio and dividend stocks. Dividend stocks make you money regardless of the stock price and compares to earning interest in a savings account. Different stocks have different dividends and the higher the percentage the more money can be made. This relates to my exploration project because for a future career Im looking for something to do with the stock market. Doing this research helped me understand a bit more about the stock market. This also relates to my possible career of owning businesses in different markets. I currently do a similar thing with clothing and shoes where I invest into pairs of shoes or clothing and then sell them for a profit. There is a market for shoes and clothing that goes up and down based on many factors such as supply and demand. After watching the video I now feel confident in being able to pick out a good or undervalued stock that I could make profit off of.

Career Exploration Project
Instead of our scheduled class on Wednesday I decided to spend 10 minutes (ended up being more) looking up sports management on LinkedIn in the Greater Boston Area. As I’ve described in my proposal, I am very interested in connecting with people who have experience in the sports field and could possibly help me with getting a job right after college. This is the first of six ideas that I had when creating a plan for my project so I wanted to go ahead and get stared on something that is very beneficial to me, but at the same time, reaching out to companies on LinkedIn is something that can be done year round until the right opportunity presents itself. As a current sophomore, I don’t have much experience working outside of being in a restaurant, so the chance to be able to work in a busy, fast pace location would benefit me tremendously. As shown in the picture, the first company I reached out to was the Boston Red Sox in hopes to help them as a client service assistant. Although this may not be the most glamorous opportunity, I believe everyone must start from the bottom and prove themselves in order to work their way up, and that’s something I hope to do as well. I’ve sent an email to them and hope to get a response in the near future in order to schedule an interview, or at least reach out in hopes to be in touch.

For part one of the assignment, I explored places around campus that get me motivated and prevent me from procrastinating. The place I found to be most helpful for this was the quiet room in the basement of Bird library. I like doing my work here because I stay very focused on my work due to no background noises. It is easier for me to focus and it prevents me from procrastinating. I focused on my EAR 225 course while in Bird. I have an exam coming up and I choose to create a study guide. First I wrote down all the important notes from class in my notebook, then I began to define the important terms on a google doc in preparation for the exam. I typed the study guide instead of writing it down because it helps me stay more organized.
For part two of the assignment, I showed evidence of my goal setting. My three goals for the week that are broken down into 2-3 steps are:
1) Finish my ANT 185 essay
-Go to Bird tomorrow and Tuesday
-Attend office hours so my TA can review the essay
2) Speak to my parents about summer internship
-Call them Tuesday after my classes
-Do research on potential apartments/sublets in NYC for the summer
3) Complete assignment for AST 101 due at 5:00 on Monday
-Review all notes and textbook to include in assignment
-Attend office hours at 1-3 for more input from my teacher
My playlist for the week includes songs that get me motivated to succeed and get all of my work done.
Topanga (Tripple Redd), I Love (Joyner Lucas), Sin (Young Thug), Workin Me (Quavo), Surfin (Kid Cudi)
Assessing my progress:
Thus far, my goals have been achieved and I am doing a good job of staying organized. For example, the study guide I created for EAR 225 while in Bird was one of the most beneficial study guides I have ever created. It was easy for me to read and understand because it was typed, and all of the information is very easy to understand because I spent so much time working on it. Another way in which I have achieved my goals is by getting a good night sleep. I have been able to wake up early every morning and eat a healthy breakfast in the morning. This helps me stay focused throughout the day and I haven't been tired while doing my work. My progress thus far has been great and this will continue if I follow these steps.

Tumblr Weekly Theme: Where can you go to stop procrastinating?
For this Tumblr Assignment I looked into a few places on campus outside of my dorm room where I can go to get work done without talking to my friends or getting distracted by other things. The place I chose was the first floor Watson lounge. This spot is perfect for me because it’s in the dorm in which I live in and for the most part it’s a really quiet place I can go to get as much work as I need done. Nobody can distract me here and I find that it’s one of the places where I get most of my work done. For example, I was able to complete my CRS 325 Peer review from our persuasive speech last week which is shown in the picture above. This reflection was done in a very swift manner and I didn’t procrastinate at all, and a lot of that has to do with the fact that I was completing it in the first floor Watson classroom.
Secondly, I created three goals that I hoped to achieve throughout the duration of this past week. My three goals were to finish my CRS 435 website by Wednesday, complete by CLS experiment project by the deadline, and finally to finish all of my philosophy readings that were assigned. You can see in my screenshot above that I provided a few steps in which I’ll take in order to complete these goals by the end of the week. In addition to this, I created a great playlist that can put me in a zone and focus on my work rather than anything else. I also provided two people who I can each out to when I need someone to remind me about completing my goals for the day. Furthermore, I can reach out to my advisor to make sure I’m doing everything in my power in order to achieve all of my goals that I set for the year. Finally, I provided two set times when I am going to work on completing these goals which was on Tuesday and Friday of last week.

PART TWO: Show evidence of Goal setting.
- Amer Mousa
“Dreams are the inner perceptions and realizations that require goal oriented actions and persistence.”
This week I had 3 goals. All relating to class. My First goal was to complete my College learning strategy assignments for the week. This goal was accomplished as I turned in my 4th tumblr assignment and my weekly journal reflection.
The 2nd goal this week was to take good notes and create an outline for my nutrition class. i accomplished this by creating two outlines. One that I created on Tuesday and the other I created on Thursday. Both these outlines consisted of good note taking and I’m proud of myself for completing this.
The third goal was to complete my political science assignment. i did this and I wasn’t stressed. I even let my roommate proof read it and give me peer feedback.
All my goals went well and I didn’t feel stressed or procrastinated. When you set up your time correctly, you can accomplish a lot! I followed the quote about and planned out how I can achieve my goals his week, and I’m proud of the results.

Yiyan Jiang’s Tumblr
There are 2 places that help me to stop procrastination. One is definitely Bird Library; another is the bench in front of the bookstore.
Bird Library has the atmosphere which forces me to study and to be concentrated on what I do. Since everyone in the library studies very hard, I will stop procrastinating and the studying efficiency will be increased a lot.
The bench in front of the bookstore is also beneficial for me to focus. The environment around that place is so good. When the weather is sunny, the sunshine on me is so warm and makes me so calm. This makes my mind so peaceful.
When I study or do my homework, I prefer to listen to some music.The songs on the music list I provide are sentimental songs, which can help me to calm down myself while I need to concentrate on something. The melody is slow and peaceful.
In addition, there are 3 goals this week to complete. And I divide those goals into several steps. For this week’s goals, I think I need to divide them into more steps instead of 2 or 3 steps because the goal is too sophisticated, such as the outline for my research paper.

Study spot
ENL 211 genre analysis paper’s first draft is due 29th of October, so I decided to do this in the Carnegie Library. This essay also relates to my CLS paper assignment project which is also due next week.
I like the Carnegie Library because of two reasons. Firstly, it is very quiet here and is the perfect spot for individual studying at campus. I would not be distracted by other people’s chit chatting. Furthermore, the hard working environment would let me be more concentrated on my work, and I will not be playing with my phone while I am in Carnegie. Secondly, the location is very good as it is right on the quad. It is close to all of my other classes which means I will not waste time in traffic etc.
Carnegie Library really motivates me and stops me from procrastinating and wasting time. After finish the essay, I also completed other homework as well.
Here are the work that I have done.
3 goals:
Readings (not academically required books)
- 1 chapter per day (30 minutes before go to bed)
- write down some notes underneath or around
- write a short review of the book that reminds me of what happened etc.
CLS - paper assignments
- start writing the essay
- organize all the materials
- type them down and put them in one folder
outline of the essay
Playlist:
- youtube videos - my favorite youtube motivates her followers and saying there are good things in life
- music playlist - bright and energetic songs

Weekly Theme: Where is your procrastination free zone?
An assignment that I had to complete throughout the week was a reflection paper on the unit three readings for MAX123. I decided to try something new and I went to the upstairs of Marshall Square Mall to work on my assignment. It is a pretty good spot to do work because there aren’t many people that are up there. While I was there I noticed a couple other students also completing their work. I did not procrastinate at all when I was up there and I was focused on completing my essay. I wrote up a rough draft for the 1,200 word essay in a couple hours and rewarded myself with some good food after I was complete
This week I completed all my goals and I was pretty happy about it. I made $450 on Tuesday from selling a piece of clothing that I have been holding on to. On Thursday I made another $70 totaling to $520 this week. I am pretty happy about it considering it is a big jump from last week. I completed the rough draft for my paper on Wednesday in Marshall Square Mall pretty quickly considering the length which I was also happy about. I revised my paper on Thursday and had my sister take a look at it over the weekend. Lastly I completed my two posts on Friday, which gave me the weekend to sit back and relax.

Aorui Pi’ last Tumblr assignment.
youtube
This week my piano lesson need me to practice the new song that I learned on Tuesday. Someone like you is always one of my favorite songs, and I really love playing the piano. Every time when I lock myself in the practice room and start practicing, I feel like there is only me and music in the universe. I have been studying playing e-keyboard for 7 years, and this is my first year to playing the piano.
This is the first time I am looking for a book in the library. I have to insert a paragraph about cigarette history for my ENL 213 paper, which is about nicotine and memory. I found this book in the SUmmon database on the library website. I didn’t find the electronic version of this book, probably they have but I did not see it. So I decided to find this book in the Bird. It was on the 4th floor with other history books.
I love studying with my friends because they can stop me procrastinating. When I am checking the Instagram or chatting around, they will remind me that I have lots of homework to do. And they may help me build up the essay or help me solve the chem problems. Bird library is always the best spot for us to study.
This is my weekly goal and the playlist. This week Unravel is the best song of motivation, it is an opening song of a Japan animation. Last week, I overheard someone played this song in the other practice room. It was a masterpiece, I don’t know who was practicing, but it was really great. I found the music video of this song on YouTube from one of my favorite YouTubers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEQf5lcnj_o&start_radio=1&list=RDsEQf5lcnj_o

Melandy Ziyue Xie
One of my favorite study spots is the Bird Library. I like studying and revising with my friends in the Bird Library. I decided to revise for History test with my friend this semester. We pretended that we were teachers and tried to teach each other terms. This is a really good way for revising as it can check have we actually remembered and understood the terms. We also gave each other tests to check the terms.

What’s your favorite in the library? — Treasures in Bird Library
I decided to do my reading assignments in spaces in the library that I thought had minimal distractions. I decided to find an isolated spot in the rows of books. I went into a random row of books that people never went into and sat down and started my reading assignment. I only saw one person pass during my assignment, which is good because the more people the more distractions. While I was doing my reading assignment a book caught my eye, so I decided to see
For this week I set 3 goals that I want to complete. I completed all my goals except for making a couple hundred dollars. I was only able to make $140 this week, but that is pretty close and better than nothing. I felt confident taking my EAR midterm because I was prepared and determined to get a good grade. Finishing all my work before the weekend helped me by giving me more free time on the weekend and reducing stress.
3 Goals For This Week.
1. Receive a good grade on my Earth Science midterm
Work on and complete study guide 10/15
Review study guide and additional notes 10/16
Make a couple hundred dollars
2. Wake up at 10am on thursday and set up by 10:50 10/18
Go for most profitable items on supreme at 11am
Wake up thursday and go for shoes at 10am
3. Finish all my work before the weekend
Complete REL 103 posts on wednesday 10/17

What’s your favorite in the library? — Treasures in Bird Library
Aorui Pi’s Tumblr Assignment
I went to Bird library to study Psychology and help my friends for her Computer Science project. It was a great time, I really enjoy spending time in Bird. We can chat while doing the homework. Also, we can buy some food.
I recently found out, there are some individual study rooms for students to rest and study. And here is the key I check out from the front desk this Tuesday. ⬆️
I did not finish the psychology assignment on Wednesday, and I reboot the study plan on Friday. However, my friend threw a birthday party at her house, so I finished it on Sunday. Overall, I completed all the tasks this week, and I am planning to buy some yogurt for cheering😊.

What’s your favorite in the library? --- Treasures in Bird Library
Tumblr Week 4 Theme: How do you help yourself reach your goals?
For this weeks Tumblr assignment I took pictures of two of my favorite study spots in Bird as well as a Log of my Goals for this week and how I made sure I would achieve them. I think the Log was especially helpful for me this week because it was a great reminder every day of what I needed to do.
The two study spots I find to be some of my favorites are the cubicles on the second floor and the Map Room on the third floor. Both of these spots are almost always open for me and they’re quiet enough for anyone to get whatever work they may need to get done. Even though the cubicles are somewhat small I like how they offer me my own space where I don’t have to focus on anyone else. The other other spot that’s similar to this is my room, but it’s not always easy to get work done in there with all the distractions. The other spot I enjoy getting work done is the Map room which is on the third floor in Bird library. Most people may not know about this spot, and that's one of the reasons why I always find a seat when I go to do work in this room. There’s plenty of open tables that are easy to sit down by yourself or with a group of people and effectively get your work done. In this instance, I was able to get my philosophy outside reading completed in the cubicles on Tuesday afternoon, and I managed to do my CLS Weekly notes in the Map Room on Wednesday between two of my classes.
Additionally, as you will see below, I made three goals for myself before this week and made strategies on how to achieve them along with a playlist for the week and a day by day update on how it went.
Goals for the Week:
To attend every class this week
Do well on my Philosophy Exam Tuesday
Finish my CRS 435 Paper due Thursday on time
Steps to make these goals happen:
1. Set a few alarms in the morning to make sure I don’t sleep through
2. Have my friend in each one of the classes text me as a way to check if I’m up
Do well on my Philosophy Exam:
1.Meet up with friends in the class on Monday night as a way to bounce ideas off of each other
2.Attend the study session before as a way to ask my professor any questions I may have
Finish my CRS 435 Paper:
1. It’s a four page paper so I need to make sure I don’t leave it all until Wednesday night to finish it all
2. Go to bird library once a day this week for about 30-45 minutes and work on it little by little
Progress Log:
Monday: I didn’t study as much as I wanted to for my philosophy midterm tomorrow, but it’s not until 11am so I can wake up early and review for it. Additionally, I got to start my CRS 435 paper and made it to all classes today so that were positives.
Tuesday: My philosophy midterm didn’t go great, but I made it to all my classes and finished my first draft of the CRS 435 paper.
Wednesday: I made it to all my classes and revised my CRS 435 paper and created the bibliography
Thursday: I only had one class today, but I also had my CLS weekly meeting which went well. I turned in my paper as well.
Friday: I also only had one class today but I made sure to wake up for it and I did.
Playlist for this week:
Mona Lisa- Lil Wayne
Man on the Moon- Kid Cudi
The General- Dispatch
Too Young- Post Malone
Weekend- Mac Miller
