Cool

Cool

I think cool means awesome. People usually use the word to emphasize when they make compliments to others. For example, in the Voice US, after contestants finished their performances, coaches started commenting that, “Your performances are cool.” Apparently, the performances were so wonderful that coaches did not find any mistakes, a perfect performance. Another example of using cool as awesomeness is a teacher who is examining students’ paintings. If he or she sees outstanding paintings which are creative and impressive, the teacher might compliment the students who draw on their paintings by cool.  In this case, the teacher uses cool to show his or her satisfaction as soon as they see beautiful paintings. Final example, I usually use cool as long as I hear good ideas, especially in meetings. Last month, I and my friend made up a short story about how governors fight against labors. They were fighting to receive more benefits from governors and used disorganized situations to commit thefts. We were thinking a strong and convinced title to reject them. While we were discussing an impressive title for our blogs, my friend suggested the title that, “Disorganized labor.” That was the greatest idea on that day, and I was so upbeat that I commended the idea had been cool.

New Resolutions


Spring break was a great chance for me to relax and to evaluate what I have done since I followed my new resolutions. I have gotten several benefits due to the resolutions. However, I still have bad habits that I should change to improve my GPA. Since I studied with the resolutions, I have completed my homework earlier. I recognized that I am able to complete everything quickly. When I try to concentrate on doing homework without thinking about outside, I complete it quickly. Also, I understand lectures easier than last semester because I frequently take notes in class. Therefore, when I review for exams, I go over my notes. I do not spend more time to read textbooks that include too much information. On the other hand, I cannot follow my plans everyday. Sometimes, I forget what I am supposed to do if I watch my favorite dramas. For example, I had an exam on the following day, but I was engrossed in a drama’s episode. Therefore, I watched and slept on my couch without studying for exams. As a result, my exam was not good. I may have earned better grade if I had studied at that night.

Academic Writing and Narrative Writing
If someone asks me whether I like writing, I will say no. I have to spend a plenty of time for writing assignments, and it definitely is the boring task I’m supposed to complete. However, I like planning parts. Planning helps me to represent my idea well. Normally, I have many information and ideas that convey to others. Unfortunately, everyone is confused what I’m saying because I mess up what I want to say. While I’m studying in writing class, I try to organize my idea to help others understand clearly. Planning really helps me a lot.

            I like narrative writing. First, I love its creativity. As a narrator, I can write a fiction story and use my imagination freely. I hate to obey the rules of academic writing like the format. I would rather write about stories than boring academic writings like argumentative or compare and contrast essays. In academic essays, I must control my mind within the topic. It is stressful for me because I always watch out each word and sentence to ensure I’m not beyond the topic. Also, I love adventurous novels that open interesting places in the world even though it is authors' imagination. However, I rarely read novels because I cannot refocus to others thing until I finish a book. Even though I have exams or presentations, I will be engrossed by adventurous stories if I read a novel. Therefore, I only read books in summer or winter break when I’m off.

Meet a Deadline
I’m gleeful that I always meet deadlines as a responsibility for what I’m doing. Everyone knows that life is complicated because we must deal with jobs, family and study. Why do we put ourselves in trouble by missing deadlines? When someone struggles for meeting deadlines, they have to do more jobs at the same time. Therefore, their results obviously are worse than others. To meet deadlines, the key word is to make detailed plans. Normally, I often separate big tasks like a research or a project into smaller parts. Afterwards, I write everything down on my calendar and try to complete everything by a day before deadlines. Why would I rather doing that? Honestly, I’m stressed to spend much time on a unique task. I attempt to organize my plan with varied tasks, so I have more motivated to complete all. Another recommendation is to remove distractions. Although I planned to complete a research, my process was sluggishly and missed deadlines. The reason was that I was watching TV while I was writing an essay. After that experience, while I’m working or doing homework, I never turn on my phone, TV or PC. Deadlines are a big obstacle, but if we go through them, we will get magnificent benefits.
