Yifan Fan-Major&Career

1. I am most interested in dancing.

2. The work that I enjoy the most is teaching

3. When I think about possible career options, the wages of the job would energize and motivate me. Also, whether the job is the one I have interested in is another key point.

4. -Study Math harder to improve the grade

-Read more frequently to expand the vocabulary

-Finish work before the due time (don’t finish it at the last moment)

-Communicate frequently with other

My situation right now is quite serious. Due to the decision of choosing Mathematics as a major, I have to practice my ability to memorize and calculate any equations, which is a hard task. For the three exams I have taken this semester, the grade seems not that great. In order to graduate successfully, I have to improve myself. For my future, I am still not that clear. The thing I am interested in has no relation to what I will work on. So, I am still in confusion for my future.

Zeyu Mei’s post

From birth to present day, I have totally had three dreams which are Rally drive, fighter’s pilots, and businessman. However, because of variety of reason, I abandoned the first two dreams. When I was young, I had illusion on this two dreams, that I have fancied that I derived J-10 to protect Chinese air or derived Carola to participate in Lalley race and got champion.

So, I am really enjoying reading books which are related to business management. I have read a at least 10 books which are related to business management. Also, I have read a lot of business leaders autobiographies.

After reading the autobiographies, first time I ever realized how excellent a person can be. After that, I have been motivated. I even swear that I must be as excellent as them, so I use their standard to require myself. This is the motivation. After being motivated, my grade has been greatly improved and I still use this to motivate me.

1: Scheduling all of the essay, exams and assignment, which should be accurate to hour.

2: Using test-preparation strategies review all of tests and assignments.

3: Finishing the requirement of applying Whitman college.

4: Using relax method to make relax on the exam.

My Ambitions Going Forward #CareerVibes (Dylan’s Post)

Growing up in a big city like #NYC, I was exposed to something called career day throughout my elementary and middle school years. Everyone from firefighters to stock brokers would come in and explain their job to us, hoping to inspire us to take on that same path, trying to persuade a young Dylan to take on that career. But a career that always stuck out to me was a Doctor #MedicalField. Ever since I was little, I always interested in the medical field. That love has only grown larger and larger as I’ve gotten into college. I am interested in the field of medicine as it gives me the ability to put a hand into the world we live and make an impact through making people feel better and doing so much more. #SharingIsCaring

In terms of the work I enjoy the most, I enjoy a variety of things as long as I am able to take on a positive impact by doing it. Hopefully being able to step into the field of medicine provides me with the perfect opportunity to do this type of work. Learning the frameworks and deep dissections of medicine and what it is will allow me to go out there, establish myself, and providing a lending hand to those out there who would need it. When I think about what motivates me when I think about my future I could only think of two things, Me and my #Parents. Just to be in a position to see my parents proud and living a stress free life because of me is something which has motivated me regardless of what I took in #EverythingForThem, and in terms of me, just believing in myself and being the best version of me I can is the best motivation I can honestly have. As LeBron said “You are your best motivation”.

Going forward 4 steps I could take is

1. Do more research in the field I am interested in going in.

2. Look for career opportunities such as internships or part-time positions.

3. Try and see if there are any resources on campus that can help me get into the field I want to. 4. Try and take courses which follow the curriculum for that field.

Taking on these things will allow me to not only gain more exposure to this field, but it will also allow me to utilize the resources that are available to me in positioning myself for the best possible future I can reach. Taking on these steps will allow me to dive into that field, and also allow me to narrow down exactly where I want to go with my career.

MAT Review 4/2

1. Chapter 7.1 on Webwork-25 minutes

Rest about 5 minutes

2. Chapter7.2 Webwork-25 minutes

Rest about 5 minutes

3. Chapter 7.3 Webwork-25 minutes

Rest about 5 minutes

4. Chapter 7.4 Webwork-25 minutes

Rest about 5 minutes

For this semester, getting the desired grade of an exam is able to motivate more to study harder at this point. Also, I could reward myself materially when I reach one goal. My avoidance behavior would be delaying task till the due time. Setting due time for each part of the task would lessen the volume of that, which make me feel more relaxed.

On this semester, I think the exam have really motivated to become excellence and make me harder. In addition to this, I set multiple deadlines for mysef, which is a also motivation.

Fritter Finder & the Pomodoro Technique (Dylan’s Post)

This week we were tasked with using out #FritterFinder and also utilizing the highly effective #PomodoroTechnique, in regards to a set of work we had to complete, and towards our whole week in general, using the Fritter Finder as our breakdown of time consumption. #TimeIsMoney

Using my Fritter Finder, I was able to utilize the Pomodoro technique during the time within my day designated to class/studying, knowing I am the type of person that gets certain jumps of energy in the night, i knew this method would come highly effective in doing my class readings for sociology, this past wednesday night. Breaking that time into chunks I was able to break down portions of the reading into 25 minute groups while taking 2-3 minute breaks of just pure relaxation within them, allowing my brain to not only rest but also have more time to deeply analyze what I was reading about within this period. #Analysis

Chapter 11 Pages 210-230 (25 Minutes)

3 Minute Break

Pages 230-255 (25 Minutes)

3 Minute Break

Pages 255-290 (End of Chapter) 25 Minutes

At such a crucial point in the semester where my first year of college is coming to a ultimate close within a few weeks, it is hard to stay motivated as my mind could fluctuate to the thought of summer and being able to relax and go on vacations and be back home but finding motivation I feel will be easy for me going forward. I feel I will stick to my usual routine through self-motivation , but I will also continue to not settle for less , and I will continue to find inspiration and motivation through music, quotes, and my environment. I feel this will keep pushing me towards my goal, shoutout to Meek Mill and his album #Championships for that.

In terms of my avoidance behaviors, I am quick to turn to video games in order to #Procrastinate but I feel I am able to engage with this tendency in a positive way. I feel the best way to engage in this is to squeeze this video game into the time I have free, allowing me to engage in my work at a designated time, while also directing time for me to engage in leisure. All in all, these strategies have been a big help, keeping me in track and keeping me motivated at the same time.

Feeling Pressed? Relieve That Stress!(Yifan’s Post)

Due to the CLS class, I tried to use three stress management strategies in order to release my stress due to both academy and life, which are “A Day at A Time”, “Stress-o-Meter”, and focused Meditation.

For these three strategies, Meditation seems to be more efficient for me to have a real relaxation. The other two tend to help me analyze the primary source of stress. I found that most stresses are from the Mathematics class, not because I have no interest in it but because of its difficulty. For other subjects, the reason I feel stressful is the procrastination that I have for a long time. When I focus on meditation, I have enough energy to think about why I feel that stressful and how I could lessen it. During meditation, I could do nothing but relax my mind and body which is an effective way to recharge myself. After that, I would be energetic to finish the following tasks.

Weekly calendar and stress meter

My stress mainly comes from my grades, I thing I almost do not have other stresses. So, I think 90% of stress come from my grade.

After studying the stress management skill, I found the meditation is easy to achieve and I really like this method to make relax.

So, as I mentioned in the beginning of paper, I think the meditation can really help me to come out from stress in different day. I usually use this strategy before sleeping. Before using this strategy, I felt my sleep quality had been not high. But after applying meditation, I think my sleep quality have been greatly improved.

For my friends, I usually introduce the procedure of different methods to release the stress, because I think different people should suit for different stress.

Feeling Pressed? Relieve That Stress! (Dylan’s Post)

The end of midterms and the passing of #SpringBreak has brought us to a crucial point in our college year. the final stretch towards the end of the semester, and on the way to Summer break. Despite us being so close to the finish line, Stress is always going to be a factor which sticks with someone, especially in college, but it all depends on what strategies you use to #RelieveThatStress

Through our CLS class, I utilized three different stress relief strategies, in hopes of relieving my high amount of stress around midterms and spring break in an amazing way, in a way which I can carry forward with me. These strategies were the “A Day at A Time”, “Stress-O-Meter” (Pictured Below), and of course everyone’s favorite, meditation.

Utilizing these strategies, I realized a lot about my habits, and a lot about how my stress really interfered with my life and everyday routine. These strategies not only broke down what exactly was causing me stress and how badly it was affecting me, but it also showed to me that I could tackle these things one by one and effectively “dethrone” my stress piece by piece in a great way. These charts helped me break down what I had to do and in terms of meditation, it not only helped me with my breathing but it also gave me a new sanctuary for relaxation, which I have never had before. My recommendation for students or anyone experiencing this same level of stress or any form of stress in general, I would say utilize these strategies, as they honestly are more effective than I had thought, and honestly it could be the best decision you make in the path of living stress-free, giving you the feeling of winning the championship of your mental health.

Feeling Pressed? Relieve That Stress!

For our upcoming CLS week, and it’s big focus on the idea of Stress and stress management, we have come up with the theme “Feeling Pressed? Relieve That Stress! #StressRelief We feel that this theme embodies exactly what we are tasked on tackling for this week in CLS, as we are utilizing three main stress management methods (A Day At a Time, Stress Meter, and Meditation), and seeing how the use of these strategies help us in handling our stress, and how it impacts our attitudes within the week, hoping to eliminate all negativity from our mentalities, and giving us #PositiveVibes going forward. Us as Group 11, hope we can relay this theme in a great way, showing how important using these structured strategies are in regards to our stress management.

Mid-semester Self-Assessment(Yifan Fan)

For this semester, I have improved a lot from the area of task management. First is from the class time period. The professor taught us to list the main tasks weekly and mark the deadline for each task. In order to execute smoothly, we separate each into several steps and give a due time for each step. Also, the place we prefer to stay is required for it. after that, the professor reminded us to have a calendar for tasks assigned by each course so that we could record each task and finish them in regular order avoiding forgetting any of them.

Two Goals for the remainder of the semester:

1. Find meaningful things to do to spend leisure time instead of games

-Read some books

-Hang out with friends

2. Schedule time in a more efficient way

-Follow the tasks in the calendar

-Always check the calendar to make sure everything has finished

-Finish works before due time
