This is my Visual Journal and a small look into what my days usually look like. I chose to include what I normally see in a day and give the audience a cool perspective into my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            My day usually starts with getting ready in the morning and leaving Dimmitt Hall, so I took a picture of the empty hall before I left for class. Then throughout the day I took a few pictures in my actual classes to show the audience what my classes would typically look like and the kind of work that we do in class. I included professors, lectures, videos, and notes in my Visual Journal to tell that story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            As I leave the Lincoln Center after a few morning classes, I decided to take a picture of the weather and the ground outside the center. This gives the audience more perspective as to how my day goes. I also chose to include a picture of my pencil because I started to notice that I don\u2019t use it too much anymore. I captioned this picture, \u201cA pencil awaiting it\u2019s task<\/em>\u201d because of the heightened use of laptops and technology in and around the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            After all my classes, I come back to chill and relax for a little bit in my dorm and one of my friends, Carter Slagter, comes in my room and falls asleep, essentially immediately, on my couch. He is a funny guy, but he tends to not make the best decisions for his sleep schedule. And after studying and doing homework after dinner, I decided to take a picture of my glasses under my lamp, after taking them off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Finally, my last picture is a picture of the court in Allee Gymnasium. I try to go in and get some shots up at least a few times per week and I have found that it does help me kind of reset and relax for a while. It is one of the highlights of my day each week. This picture is the biggest one because I wanted the audience to understand that after days and days of schoolwork and studying, being able to reset and go play my sport is truly a big part of my day-to-day life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            As my freshman year comes to an end, it is crazy to look back and see how far I\u2019ve come. I wasn\u2019t expecting college to be the way that it is and I\u2019m happy with the way it turned out. It is crazy to me that I have finished almost two semesters of college already. It went by super fast, and I had a lot of fun with basketball, meeting people, and just hanging out. I am proud of the way this year has gone in terms of my grades too and I hope that I can continue to receive good grades and work hard for them. The thing that surprised me the most with college is all the down time you have. One of my problems with high school was procrastinating really bad. I would always leave things to the last minute and wouldn\u2019t ever want to do any of my work. In college, I\u2019ve developed the habit of finishing all of my homework and studying early in the day so that by dinner time and nighttime, I could relax and have the night to myself. Having so much down time in between classes was also a big change. It is very beneficial for me to try and finish all my homework during the day and treat the school days as workdays to get all my stuff done. That is one of my favorite things about college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The overall story I wanted to tell with my Visual Journal is just the story of me. I wanted to portray my normal life through these pictures and captions. I like how my pictures turned out and I do believe that it correctly depicts what my normal school day life looks like. I chose to include pictures inside my classrooms and of my professors because I felt like it would really show the audience what I see and what I normally do in a day. I also decided to show the weather in an average day to also show the audience more context. Lastly, I added a picture of our gym and basketball hoops because this is a big part of my day and just a big part of my life in general. This was a cool assignment and I\u2019m glad about the way that my Visual Journal turned out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
