This course has taught me how to really pay attention to everything around me. I find myself analyzing everything around me, conversations I have while having them, my surroundings, etc. I’ve more consciously started to think about what things mean and how they make me feel, and recognize those feelings for what they are. I have valued these things more than I used to and doing such has made life so much more compelling. This course has also taught me to always ask that why question. To not just see things for what’s right in front of you but what the meaning may be behind it, the purpose, the message. The skills I have learned in this course are taken with me too other courses like philosophy, anthropology, and art history, all courses where you have to really think and look within. This course, however, is different because of the major writing portion of it.
