BOR, is it really true?
There has been research about me, how I am a only child, The crazy thing about all of the research is that most of it is true. Yah seems a bit far-fetched, research that “knows” me, kind of awkward. The research is called Birth Order Research (BOR).
One of the traits listed is that I have difficult time relating to peers. I really do have a rough time connecting to peers, like I am disconnected from them. If that makes any sense, I don’t feel like I belong. I do have friends, but not a whole lot of them. It is partially my fault because I am already thinking oh they are too cool to be a friend. I don’t know why I do it. I can’t help myself. I probably have two to three good friends.
Another trait that is listed is procrastination. I know I procrastinate, but I can’t help it. I try over and over again to stop doing it but I can’t help myself.  I really do need help with it. Like for the A.P. world history assignment over summer, I procrastinated on it so bad. I didn’t know what to do. I finished it just in time. I thought I was going to mess it all up.
While I do get along with some people, I talk to younger or older people. I don’t talk to a lot of people in my grade. That seems strange, but it’s true. I don’t get why I do that I just like talking to people that are not my grade. I think that’s pretty strange to me. I can’t believe that BOR has said all this about being an only child.       

After all of the things they listed in the BOR, almost everything is true about me. That really freaked me out when I noticed it. I agree with everything they said about me. This has changed my view because if my traits were all true, then that means that probably all the other children first, middle and oldest are all true. Now that’s really creepy.

Reflections on Week 1

Thing I am most excited about this class is that the way we do our homework. Over a blog, that is really amazing! I am super pumped about this because I like using my Laptop and now I get to use it for homework is a big plus. The thing I look forward to learning is how to use the Internet as an educational source. Not just a thing where you waste half your day on. Then get 2 hours of sleep and repeat the whole cycle. If I could be able to use the Internet just for educational purposes and not hours of watching streamers and YouTube. That would make me like the smartest person alive(just kidding lulz). It would make my life a lot easier by not getting distracted on the Internet.
