Learning Challenge: Sleep

I decided to look at the article about how college students sleep. I thought it would be interesting to see how my sleep habits compare to other college students'. I was very surprised to see that the average length of sleep was a little over 7 hours during the week and just over 7 hours and 30 minutes on the weekend. I was surprised the average length on weekends was almost the same as the length during the week. This year, I have been trying to get more sleep, and I do on some nights. I think my average sleep is not too bad, but some nights I may only get a few hours of sleep while other nights I sleep more than 8 hours. The past couple years, I have definitely not averaged 7-8 hours of sleep. My remaining semesters of college, I hope to consistently get around 7 hours of sleep like most college students.

Week 11 Story: How Flower Stole Sunlight

Long ago, when only plants lived on earth, Redwoods were the only ones who had sunlight. All the other plants wanted sunlight too, but Redwoods were taller than everyone else. They stole the sunlight before it could reached any of the other plants. The other plants lived in darkness and fear but Redwoods refused to share sunlight with anyone else. The other plants decided to hold a council to discuss the growing worry they had about living in darkness. Meanwhile, Redwoods held their own council in the light. They set up guards to protect themselves from having other plants try to come take sunlight from them. But Flower had taken root near where the Redwoods were having their meeting before the guards set up. While the Redwoods had their meeting, a small bit of sunlight crept towards Flower. Flower hid a little bit of sunlight in its petals and slowly started moving back towards the other plants' meeting. Before Flower could escape, however, the Redwoods no...

Introduction to Shea "Campus Involvement" Penning

Hello! My name is Shea Penning and I'm excited to meet you! I am a junior majoring in Advertising and minoring in Italian. I was born in Texas, have lived in Nevada and California, and was raised in Edmond, Oklahoma. I don't know exactly what I want to do once I graduate, but right now I think I'd like to continue my education at a portfolio school and study graphic design. One of my favorite parts of college has been getting involved on campus! I got involved in Soonerthon Exec my freshman year in the Ambassador (aka fundraising) committee. I joined the same committee the next year as a team captain. If you are unfamiliar with Soonerthon, it is OU's official philanthropy for the Oklahoma City Children's Hospital Foundation and ends with a huge dance marathon in March. Last year, we raised over $1 million FTK (For the Kids)! Picture of me at Soonerthon 2018. Personal image. Soonerthon falls under Campus Activities Council, which is the programming branch ...

Topic Research: Greek Constellations

One topic I am interested in doing my project on is Greek Constellations. I think it would be interesting to tell the stories behind the people/animals that are depicted in the formations. I could just tell the story of what the constellation depicts, tell the story of how it became a constellation, or tell the story of the constellation in modern times watching the world below. The first (former) constellation I think would be fun to write about is Argo Navis . Although it has now been divided into three separate constellations, it once depicted the ship which Jason sailed in search of the Golden Fleece. I would like to tell the story of Jason's journey and the trip the boat sailed. The second constellation I could tell the story behind is Andromeda , who was chained to a rock as a sacrifice to a sea monster. This constellation is one of 88 that remains as a modern constellation. The third story I would like to tell is of the constellation Pegasus . The constellation depi...
