I dont necessarily want to comment too much on the last class, but I will say as someone who doesn't speak much in class, I really enjoyed listening to other people's point of view on things. I didnt feel much need to speak on this topic because I don't take ibuprofen unless I absolutely have to, I usually only have about 1 cup of coffee a day (which the daily caffeine recommended dose is 200mg, or a leading cup of coffee), I used to drink alcohol but have recently given it up, and I've never smoked anything or taken anything else. I dont have the best experience, so its hard to have any kind of opinion.
The next class we are starting the section on money:
Factual Question: True or False: in the last 100 years, domestic labor and farm work has drastically decreased for women in comparison to men.
Answer: True
Discussion Question: Hect uses shopping as an example of a good way to promote moments of happiness due to spikes in dopamine levels. How do you feel about shopping? (I personally hate it!)
I hate shopping for something important like groceries, work clothes, events, etc. However, I have a lot of fun at thrift shops, yard sales, and cheap stores with friends because I don't have to stress that I'm wasting my money, it makes me look fat, or I'm buying something at the wrong place.
ReplyDeleteI don't speak much in class either, but I enjoy the show!

It really depends on what I'm shopping for...I'm just now beginning to allow myself to feel okay about buying something expensive for myself. Usually, I go to thrift stores or one of my parents drags me to a mall during the pre-school, tax-free sales-a-thons and pretty much forces me to buy new things. This year was the first time that I didn't give myself constant guilt trips for them wanting to spend on me...it felt pretty good to have new things.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it REALLY helps to have someone to shop with. Otherwise,
I run the risk of feeling all of what Samantha mentioned above (except opposite feelings about my body image--I usually think I look way too thin/don't fill out the clothes).
When it comes to grocery shopping, though...buh. No me gusta.
