Learning Experiences: Closet Poet?

Learning Experiences: Blog 5   As a senior, taking the chance to reflect on some of the classes that taught me more than I could imagine has been a great experience for me. One class I often think about is Poetry Writing Workshop 1, which I took last spring semester with Professor Alex Lemon. I had major doubts about my ability to write poetry. I knew I liked to read poetry, but I didn’t think I knew how exactly to write poetry.  At the beginning of the semester, I was a little lost. I didn’t know if there was a specific format that I was supposed to follow, or if I even had good ideas. Yet as the semester continued, I found myself feeling lucky to have finally been able to allow myself to take a course like poetry. TCU has shown me so many different sides to not only myself, but to what there is out in the world. Learning from other students in the class was so exciting and I found many people who I look up to in there.  During that semester, I found that there ar...

Learning Experience: Blog 3

Learning Experience: Blog 3 Through my major, Strategic Communication, I’ve learned a ton over the years about making connections. Myself being a go-getter and always looking for the next thing that I can be involved in no matter how much I already have going on; I really took that advice to heart. Now, as a senior, I’ve been blessed with some incredible internship opportunities over my 4 years here at TCU, all while learning from many mistakes I’ve experienced too. Some of my job experiences have not been so good as others and I think it goes hand in hand with how being a go-getter can sometimes backfire. Yet, I treat it as one of those life experiences where you simply can’t know it until you experience it yourself. One of my first intern experiences was at a local advertising agency and granted I really didn ’t know what to expect. I remember getting that first email that told me I was invited to have a phone interview with the head of the internship department on the followin...

5 Tips on How to Be Funny

1. One interesting tip I found is to try answer yes/no questions with the opposite answer of what is expected. For instance, when people think they already know the answer you will give try responding with the opposite; then of course laugh and give your real answer. The magic in this tip is that you have surprised your audience with a reversal of expectation which is always quite funny. (this really only works when there is a strong expected answer), but nevertheless a clever tip. 2. Use real-life stories not jokes. Most people rely on observational humor to make people laugh, but I think a good tip is using personal experiences for humor instead. Much like our uncontrollable laughter blogs I think the personal stories are much more humorous than an expected joke.   3. I’ve always liked a good pun and most of the videos I watched play up that tactic as well. Using words the wrong way is funny – again, like the little green book we read each week; we never fail to laugh. S...
