Favorite Cartoon Character

My favorite cartoon character is from the cartoon series Looney Tunes. The Tasmanian Devil has a special place in my heart; I grew up watching Looney Tunes and I have fond memories from watching the show with my twin brother and dad. Per my dad, the Tasmanian devil experiences many meltdowns throughout the series much like I did as a child. The Tasmanian devil has a short temper and notoriously little patience; he can be devious but also sweet; he has an enormous appetite and will eat anything in his path. My dad used to say he couldn’t tell the difference between Taz and myself. The Tasmanian Devil’s only weakness is that he can be calmed by almost any music. Again, something quite similar to myself when I was little. My dad still today reminds me that the only way anyone could calm me down was for him to play the piano; I would immediately stop crying or screaming or whatever it was I was throwing a fit about. Although my dad named me after a cartoon character with the name ‘devil’ in its name, I can’t argue with facts. So, that’s a little synopsis about why I chose the Tasmanian Devil as my favorite cartoon character – who knew I could be so similar to a cartoon character?!

How's Quarantine Going?

Learning Experience Blog 7 I don’t know how I can express all the feelings I’m currently experiencing during this period of uncertainty. It feels like everything I’ve worked so hard for is sinking sand.  Just a week prior, I never imagined that all classes for senior year would be cancelled (online can never be the same); I never imagined being offered my dream job and not 24 hours later receiving a phone call that said they had to rescind my offer; I never imagined, weeks before graduation, that I wouldn’t have a plan. I’ve always had a plan. Now, I sit here alone in my apartment away from family to seemingly start over. I have two weeks to study for the GMAT, write graduate application essays and apply to graduate school in less than a month. Not only do I not feel prepared, I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it all. I’m afraid I’m going to go insane. I need people, I need interaction, I need to stop being overwhelmed.  Suddenly switching 15 hours of class t...

Final Reflection

Where do I begin? I have to say, this semester has taught me much more than a regular semester ever would. For starters, our laughter class has brought me so much joy and laughter – truly. I think I may miss this class more than all the others; I know the importance of laughing even when you may not feel up to it; I know the importance of making someone else smile – either by telling a joke or a simple compliment. We need to build each other up and although I’m certain we all know how important that is in everyday life, we realize how much of an impact it has on us all during hard times even more. I appreciate this class for allowing us to have a little fun with coronavirus – from writing limericks on the subject, to reading/watching coronavirus humor during class, to all of us being able to spend a little time with each other every week over zoom laughing at how much stress comes from being home with our families.  I can’t help but smile when thinking back to the begi...

My Dad, Tiger King, & MRI scans....Uncontrollable Laughter

Two words: Tiger King. Scratch that, add two more words: My dad.  Now, let’s just say my dad is not known for his love of television. In fact, he hates movies and most television shows…to give you some context, his idea of fun is connecting his laptop to our living room TV screen and pulling up x-rays and MRI scans and forcing the entire family to try and diagnose the patient.... Mind you, my dad is a radiologist for a living so of course he already knows what’s wrong with the patient. So, much to his amusement, he sits there with wine in one hand and teaches my brother and I how to read MRI’s and makes us battle each other to see who can correctly diagnose the patient first. He still can’t figure out why neither me or my brother chose the medical field as a career path. Imagine that?! Anyway back to Tiger King. This has become my dad’s new favorite show – of all time. I’m still unsure of how he found it, but regardless of how he did, I’ve never heard my dad laugh so hard ...
