Losing Eden Post 1


 

Book 2 Post 1

  


 

Looking at the list of books we can read, the one that caught my eye was Losing Eden, by Lucy Jones. The book is currently on a journey making its way to my lovely home. I am excited to start reading this book, because based off the description it’s about the importance of nature and its connection with humans. From what I have gathered, Jones mentions how nature is so intertwined with us, that its almost essential that we have this communion with it. She talks about her feelings and how they are improved by her environment. She goes a step further and will refer to some studies that may indicate her natural intuitions are correct. Based on the reviews the book seems to be informative but also poetic at the same time.

 

 Unfortunately, now at day’s most people I think spend their time indoors watching TV instead of being outside. I think that many of us sometimes take nature for granted. When we were in the lock-downs due to COVID, I came to the realization of the importance of spending time outside. When I say outside, I don’t mean just out an about in the city but in nature. I was cooped up in my room for so long that it started to affect my mental health. I made the effort to go on hikes more often and I even went camping with some family. I started to appreciate nature and took the time to take everything I was seeing in. I allowed myself to be present in those moments, and I’m looking forward to getting more insight with Losing Eden.

    Hey Angel,

    Really awesome writing! It was cool to get your take on Losing Eden after reading some of your classmates posts on it. I especially liked how you related the book to your COVID experience. I too had a similar thought as I got into hiking and other outdoor activities during COVID. It really put everything into perspective. Well Done.

Job Description Final

  Realtor Assistant    Having a friend that is in real estate comes with its perks. One of those perks is getting the job as her assistant! You get to meet new people, and through interactions, you can network. I also thought it would be an excellent opportunity to learn the ins and outs of real estate. I would get to do all this while being able to spend some time with my friend.              A realtor assistant provides support for real estate agents with administrative work such as   responding to emails phone calls, scheduling meetings, delivering paperwork   to clients.  Well, that's sort of how my friend described it. I soon realized, however, that my job was to do whatever they asked of me. For the most part, I had fun, but it wasn't always smooth sailing.    My tasks explained in three phrases would consist of: Delivery Boy  Open House Sign Setup Boy Communication Boy     ...

  Random Post #1 Powerlifitng   Growing up I was always in to playing sports. I played almost every sport from football, soccer, baseball, basketball, boxing, and even gave hockey a try (it only lasted about week). I would say I was decent in every sport that I played. I never was this athletic freak, and I wasn’t the biggest, but I would say I had speed. As I got older though I no longer had speed as an advantage, because the competition I started facing had size, power, and speed. After high school I didn’t play in organized sports and instead turned to going to the gym. I mainly went just to be fit and look good, but my sophomore year at USC that all changed. I discovered the sport of powerlifting and joined the Trojan Barbell Club.         What is Powerlifting?   It is a sport that focuses on strength, that is tested out with three main lifts: barbell squat, bench press, and deadlift. You get three attempts on each lift,...

  The Final Days at USC     Time flies by when you’re having fun! These last couple of years at the University of Southern California, have been a dream come true for me.   USC was my dream school ever since I can remember, and I told myself that one day I was going to be a Trojan. I still remember the day that I found out that I had been accepted into USC, and now graduation is only about a month away. For my last random post, I want to reflect on my time at USC and talk about what I have learned and touch upon some of my highlights.   In May, I will be graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a minor in theater. Looking back, I am happy with the path I selected. I was able to experience two completely different fields. One benefit is that I was also able to take different concepts that I learned from each and I was able to apply them to one another. Early on I realized that for Business classes I was going to have to do a lot o...
