Wikipedia Trails

Surya I started at the wikipedia page for the son god in Surya, which I came across in someone's story. The fight between the sun and the moon is cool. Sun From there I went to the page about the sun as I find the sun to be incredibly interesting in every aspect. I mainly focused my reading here on the religious aspects portion as that is most relevent to this class. It is interesting to see the different takes on the sun in each culture, but in each on the god of the sun is incredibly powerful. Also that sunday is the day of the sun god in christian studies, which makes sense why church is held on sundays. Aztec  Next I went to the Aztec culture, as anything that has to do with ancient cultures fascinates me. The aztecs had equality between women and men, which is incredibly interesting to see in an ancient civilazation.

I read " How Decays the Mind and Body " I have always been into being as healthy as possible. I eat incredibly healthly and workout 7 days a week. I noticed my junior year when I was getting 4 hours of sleep on a regular basis I was gaining more weight, which is weird for me. I have always wondered why sleep increases muscle gains as well. Everyone always told me that sleep is just as important. Now that I know it helps your cells regenerate, which is the whole idea behind building muscle. I will attempt to get more sleep even though I have loud roomates that I have to coincide my sleeping with. Muscles

I prefer short, but impactful quotes as they are sometimes the hardest to make meaningful. This first quote I looked at was "Live It Fearless Every single day" or L.I.F.E. This is so true. I believe that every day you have to take risks in order to truly do anything exciting in life. Yes, you can have fun without taking risks, but not very exciting. Getting the change of nervousness to adrenaline to excitement is one of the best feeling ever. I know this, but need to start living my lfie by it more. "Why Not" I have not really thought about this too much, it kind of ties into the last quote, but with risky things that are avoided due to nervousness, I have to think "why not". There won't be any consequences. Nothing bad will come of it, hopefully. Just do it. Getting Smarter

Tech Tip: Canvas Dashboard

I have been using canvas for two years now. Compared to d2l it's a godsend. I love how customizable the interface is. BEing able to change the names of your courses if very usefull so I don't have to know which AME 4... my classes are. I do wish there was a way to pull up all of the calsses at once. OR at least have the total grades all at once on canvas. I know I could go to one.ou.edu, although having everything on one site would be useful.
