Hello and welcome to finals week!!
This is the last blog for the semester...so make it good! If you do both parts you get double the joy! I leave it up to you.
Part 1:
ROSE AND THORN
Please describe/talk about/share your best moment (rose) of the semester and also your toughest (thorn)
Part 2:
What is YOUR spirit animal, and why?
My best moment from this semester was being the only one to get an A on an essay for English 205. That was the best reward because I have always struggled with essays. It was the best feeling because I realized that I had overcome one of my biggest challenges.
ReplyDeleteThe toughest part of this semester were my tests for Psychology 258. I always get perfect scores on the homework assignments, but when it comes to tests I overthink the answer and end up changing it. Therefore, I passed all the tests with C's. But I passed the class with a B.
My spiriy animal would be Lion, because they are strong and couragous. Not everything in life is easy, but if you learn how to deal with problems and fix them, then I think it makes you strong, couragous, and a leader.
One of the best things about this semester was the people I met in each one of my classes. Every new friend I have made has been amazing!! I was so glad when I saw the support they offered for Community Allies and it really showed me the kind of good people they really are. Also I love the outcome I had with my grades for this semester :)
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing about this semester would be towards the end, the big amounts of stress that these last weeks have made me go through. towards the end It was really hard to manage work, community service and school but today is my last day of school and everything went amazing. I would like to learn better ways to deal with stress but at least for now I have the toy I got at the Price Center.
If I had to choose a spirit animal I would like it to be a whale because they are so chill. Every time I see videos of them, they look so cool minding their own business while singing and relaxing. One of my goals is to reincarnate as a whale.

ReplyDeleteMy best moment during this semester was get A from different classes and make me to be proud of myself and be happy to get good result from my effort.
ReplyDeleteThe good things about this semester was I meet with really nice professor that they help me a lot to make my personality more strong and get knowledge from different subject that I never thought about that.
The bad thought was scared about grade and a lot of stress about how get good grade and manage the time and do service hour. It was really stressful and challenging.
My spirit animal is Eagle. I like it because Eagle is flying in the sky. that I love flying and watch the world for the vast. Also this birds dominance everything around itself, and have sharp eyes that I like have these characteristics.
Good-evening Colleagues,
ReplyDeleteI want to thank each and everyone for letting me in on every little secret y'all had, I think that our unity that we all approached as trusting each other with honesty paid off, I literally consider everyone my family member and would do anything in my power to keep and make y'all happy<3
ROSE: The best moment of the 2016 fall semester was when I attended APTRA like 2 weeks ago, I love how everything I do, I do because of my major and my career. Ever since Personal Growth 120, and all my sessions with Leslie,Sandy and Maria Elena's advice I've been able to approach my fears.
THORN: The toughest moment of this semester was literally yesterday! I had 4 finals due for my RTVF department, and on top of that I was scheduled for work at ROSS, and I just didn't know how to balance everything! I was so overwhelmed and then I just pulled an-all niter , dranked a monster and went on with life. I really don't see anything as a hard task anymore because of all the breathing sessions and family I've gained within PRICE, I oversee it as a challenge than an obstacle.
DW- Aarbark, Since I was a little girl I used watch Arthur, and I always got compared to DW because I was a young girl with a pink dress. This animal is my sprit animal because of the values and characteristics we share in common like strong legs, LOL, I love how they are sweet, sensitive and thoughtful, but also they are very aware of their surroundings, they stay humble within species of their kind and formulate their execution when most needed. I really enjoy researching and knowing aardvarks because they've been with me for the longest ever since Arthur and his friends , I became really in love with these animals, which are African-ant bears.
aww you're so cute Claudia, you can count on us too <3 and thank you too for your advice and help
DeleteI love you, you're the best mentor, freind, co-worker, and family anyone can ask for. I'm looking forward to second semester with you in ASG.;)
DeleteI will begin with the toughest part of this semester... I think the hardest thing was dealing with all the changes I had in my life, starting with moving out of my moms house and having to adjust to a new environment. On top of that I had other responsibilities. I had to manage my money, manage my time, and continue to do my work for school regardless of my emotion status. Being unstable outside of school affects your school life A LOT. Yet I continued to try my best at every task I had to do and thats where the rose comes in this little story of mine. I pushed myself to do better and I got my first job this semester. I turned in all my work on time and I got to meet a lot of new great people. I hope I have more rose moments next semester and less thorn moments.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know what my spirit animal would be so I asked one of my closest friends and she said I would be a dog... I laughed and asked her why she chose that animal and she said because I'm always playful. I guess that is true, I always try to see the good side to everything and try my best to have a positive attitude. However, I can also be lazy at times and believe it or not I eat A LOT, so I guess yes I can relate to a dog plus I love dogs so I suppose I have found my spirit animal.
Haha 😂😂 damn my mom said I would be a squirrel leaving my mess everywhere in the house and sneaking around to avoid getting in trouble. Your funny and I Love your name "Valeria."
DeleteMy best moment from this semester is passing the English 49 class and got an A on my essay. Also, I did well in my chemistry class and I usually pass the test.
ReplyDeleteThe toughest moment: I was struggle with Psychology 101 class because I didn't do well on the test. The test was too confusing and that makes my grade drop a lot . I hope I will pass that class with at least a B or C. Also, I was so stress out by the end of this semester because I have final exams I need to study; it was challenging and frustrating while trying to stay focus and study at the same time.
My spirit animal would be cat because they are patience/calm, quiet, independent, and courage animals. They are also represents spirit of adventure. I am a cat person that's why I chose cat.
Rose: Meeting new people. I was able to meet great people who've grown to be good friends of mine. They helped me redesign myself as an individual.
ReplyDeleteThorn: Nonstop family arguments. Which made me become really distant from them. It was really tough keeping up with school while dealing with family bullshit.
Spirit Animal: Tiger. They give that luxurious feeling that they're worth a lot. Which is why I decided to pick it. You gotta love yourself && take in consideration that you're worth everything. You'll envy others about their looks and shit but that's cause you simply don't value who you really are. I love myself & I always will.
Your a Lamborghini 😎💕... I love you meme 😘. I will always be by your side becuase I always count with you don't ever dare change for no one. You desreve only th best.
DeleteThank you for supporting me at everything I do! && simply being someone I can count on. I love you very much fam! 💘💘💘
DeleteMy best moments of the semester has to do with my peers in other classes. I've meet really awesome people that I can totally relate to, especially in my English 101 class. When I'm stressing out about my other courses they find a way to distress me. It's also great hearing some of their college life strategies on what's helpful and what's not. They also help me out when I need help, and I help them out when they need my help. It's just been great creating study groups with new people you meet along the way.
ReplyDeleteThe toughest moments of this semester has to be when I procrastinate. This has been happening to me since high school. I would always try to finish an essay the night before and it seemed to work for me. I would get decent grades and I would be satisfied with the amount I would do in little time. But my professor from math 116 opened my eyes. He basically said this ain't high school and you can't learn all the topics in the last week, which I'm doing. It just really hit me, like I really need to get my stuff together. The first time in college has really opened my eyes, and how I should change my study habits next semester.
My spirit animal has to be a giraffe because they stand out. Their tall, and everyone can see them from a distance. Their yellow and brown, very unusual colors but they create a beautiful pattern. Their peaceful always eating trees. They walk funny. I don't know but I just love them. I would go to the zoo just to see them and get myself hyped up. It's a long walk to get there but it's worth it for me.

ReplyDeleteLets end with a happy ending so I will start with my thorn. This semester was toughest at the middle and the end for me. I had a very hard time in my acting class in the middle because I'm new to acting and I'm not comfortable being in front of the camera. I got so shy and I can't even remember my lines it was the worst part of this semester, but things get better when you keep doing it. I'm still not used to it but I'm just starting this year and one day I will get used to it. I did really bad in my acting class so I’m afraid to look at my grades It was tough for me to decide and drop my math 119 class in the beginning. And It was tough last week because I had a lot of work to do and getting my last project to lunch successfully. I’m also very stress out about my English class too because I have the chance of not passing the class after all the hard work I’ve done with just one Portfolio. I will find out tomorrow whether I pass or not.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment is when I realize I get to experience acting and be in front of the camera slowly shooting for my dream. My rose is also when I finally remember my lines for my scene. And the happy moments in personal growth class when we play games together in the beginning or when we present something funny and everyone laugh, seeing that makes me happy. My rose for this semester is also little things like, seeing the rain or the trees in the quad turning yellow and red then falling.
My spirit animal just has to be a panda. Everything about panda is awesome and cute. I love their lazy and chill personality. They are so FLUFFY!! They are peaceful but can’t be messed with. Pandas solve problem with peace and see both side of a person or a situation and I can relate to that. I like to solve problem with peace and I’m compassionate. Pandas probably can do anything using their cuteness. I love the fact that just seeing them makes me happy I want to be like that, I want people to simply see me and feel happy. And pandas seem to be very soft hearted, and playful which I can relate to. One day I want to own a panda pet if not I want to see a panda and hug it tight.
Lastly, I will have a big panda bear in my bedroom.
Thorn: I believe that the thorns are the most important part of a rose. They remind us humans that not every thing in life is free or easy. The thorn for me this year was myself I had gone in to college right away with no doubts already stressed and emotionally unstable. I figured that it wasnt the tests, the homework or the professors it was me and my attitude towards school and everyone. My anxiety and depression caused me alot of problems with myself I didn't know who I was becoming. But in the end I got the help I needed from the people I love and care for always looking out for me.
ReplyDeleteRose: They say that when your lover gives you a rose and it takes a long time to die that it is true love. This is what helped me I made friends and already had amazing ones who showed me their love was pure by standing next to me trough every tough decision and never letting me rot by myself.
My spirit animal would be a pitbull beacuse these dogs are said to look scary in my case intimidating but their heart says an entirely different thing. Not only are they loyal, reliable and authentic but they are mainly idealistic. They co-operate with the people they know are good people that love them and they are supportive in the way that they know what people need a lick or a paw (hand). I feel so connected to these dogs their characteristics basically describe who I am. I myself love to share because I care, I am unique to many other people just like pitbulls to any other dog type. Pitbulls don't hide what they feel they expose themselves and that's what I do show my emotions and express myself easily. Just like these dogs friendships and family for me are the most important thing besides I use my intuition more than my intellect just like pitbulls who act on their instincts also I am very liberal and welcoming.

ReplyDeleteROSE: As corny as it sounds, spending time with my price family. While Price is a commitment, it truly is worth while. I'm really grateful to be a part of such a tight knit community. I'm proud to be able to call myself a Price Scholar and to be surrounded by a lot of dynamic individuals. It's a very positive force in my life.
ReplyDeleteTHORN: I decided to take on extra hours at work this semester underestimating how rigorous my classes would be. I definitely learned that I AM A STUDENT FIRST. Quite frankly, I'd rather be broke and have good grades than with a little extra money and I'm struggling to good grades. I've learned a lot about managing my time. Every time i feel like giving up I just remind myself of what I'm here for.
SPIRIT ANIMAL: My spirit animal is a blue bird. Mainly because of it's simplicity and positivity. They definitely don't like confrontation and don't like to let other people ruin their vibe. Most of all i think they life to make other animals (lol) happy! This doesn't mean that nothing bad every happens to them. But after every rain storm, they're back out again being cute and all.
Rose: Best part of the semester was hanging out with you guys on Wednesdays and also meeting new people in my classes. I really like my Sociology Professor so that class had been chill.
ReplyDeleteThorn: I honestly hate stats and although I am doing well, it's so annoying taking tests for that class. Another thorn is that as I move forward with my life, I lose contact with several friends, but that made room for those who are my true friends to stick by me.
My spirit animal is the Wolf, I like to roam the outdoors and seek more freedom. We are all enslaved by money and I just want to be free of that. I like to lead the little ones and care heavily about intelligence.
Rose: The best part of my semester would have to be my improvement in giving presentations. One reason is because I hate standing in front of a lot of people. Another reason would be because I can now put what I learned in COMMS103 into practice throughout my life/career. -Kenny
ReplyDeleteThorn: The worst part of my semester is the small amount of time that I went into IDC(I Don't Care)Mode because it really messed up my work ethic.
My Spirit Animal: Squirrel
Reason: Because I'm always busy and I like to stay busy for a good cause, whether it be work or school
Rose: The best part of the semester would be that the finals in most of classes were presentations instead of tests. Also being around my Price family and BLCI family.
ReplyDeleteThorn: First semester was a bit hard. Having to drop my english class and feeling like I wouldn't be able to pass some of my other classes. So much work and learning to manage it all.
My spirit animal: owl/mermaid
Why: I seek a lot of wisdom. I am a smart person who loves to learn new things. I am very observant, constantly watching and assessing my surroundings/because I tend to let my heart lead over my head. I can be rebellious and wild spirit spirit. I love being in the light of the moon. I'll go in the ocean late at night and feel at ease with the water surrounding me.
Rose:The best part of the fall semester was being able to meet new people and making mew friends. Also, having the support from Price was a great advantage for me.
ReplyDeleteThorn: The things I found difficult this semester were, balancing my time, and procrastinating. It was difficult balancing my time with work, school, homework, and my free time. At first, I was all over the place trying to find a balance spot, but eventually I worked things out and now everything is going good. As of procrastinating, it really messed me up in my classes, but I learned the lesson, and for the next semester there won't be noting of that.
My spirit animal is a Lion because, whenever I set myself a goal, I do everything in my power to achieve it. Lions are known for their strength and leadership, which is something I'm improving day by day.
My best moment was meeting new people starting college new student. Letting my site where I do community service. Taking the same English teacher in the summer and in my first semester. Having. To work on presentation and the dream books was fun learning from each other.
ReplyDeleteMy throne was passing my math class it was hard for me that I don't like math n studying. Having to do a portfolio for English 49 was hard to prepare it.
My spirit animal is a humming bird because I'm dependeple and I like to go places and stay active.
My best moment this semester would be writing a play for my English class and getting a good grade on it. I didn't know how to go about in doing it but I got it done and was offered an opportunity to turn it in for a competition.
ReplyDeleteMy thorn this semester would be my stats class because I didn't really learn anything. It was an 8 week course and we went through a lot of sections and got tested on them the following morning. I really disliked taking quizzes the next day.
My spirit animal would be a hawk because they're solitary birds(depending on the type) and they represent the power of observance.
One of my roses this semester was getting to take classes that made me change my mind about what I want to maijor in during my time here while I choose where I want to transfer. My thorn would be knowing that I would have to retake one of my classes because I didn't get the help I needed.
ReplyDeleteMy rose and thorn of the semester. Id say the best part of my semester was finishing my 8 week math class. Math is actually my favorite subject and i love it, finishing that class and passing was a good acomplishment in my point of view. The worst part of the semester was just the workload i have recieved. All the work is intimidating and was a great part of how i took care of thibgs. Lastly, my spirit animal would be the tiger. The tiger is a symbol of power, intellegence and fierceness. And i believe that the tiger enbodies my personality.
ReplyDeleteMy rose doing this semester was developed my whiting skills. I work so hard to pass my english class.my thron was my math class I didn't like how he teaches and he didn't care about student do the homework
ReplyDeleteI dont no my spirited animal but I think is lion
My rose this semester is... well, the entire semester. I've been blessed to have amazing friends who have supported me throughout the downs, and have cheered me on through the ups. I've been blessed to be in this program, with amazing people and classmates, and to top it off, I have what I consider to be the perfect site for me and my personal goals.
ReplyDeleteThorn: Only downside to this semester is my life at home. I've been saying that I don't like it there, blah blah blah, but really I haven't done much (until recently) to change that. So that's something I need to work on.
My spirit animal is the wolf. HANDS-FREAKING-DOWN. They're all about keeping some loved ones close. They are very adaptive to whatever comes, and they're all about community. Alternatively, when a young wolf is looking for a mate, it spends some time alone, which I love to do. They might not be the fastest, or strongest like the tiger or the lion, but they're not known to perform in a circus... or stay enslaved in a tiny zoo display. They're always out there, and bring out the best of what's around them, like in Yellowstone.
I will just comment my animal. I feel connected to cats since they are smart and can be either happy or mad or sad in one day. They tend to be very calm and relaxed but once they get annoyed by someone they explode and yeah can be very difficult to handle.
