I Can't Seem to Get That Song by Big Sean out of my Head

Arch Girl here, back with another post. Also, I hope you all enjoyed your Valentine's Day. :)

Any who, this week was filled with some insightful takes on what sacrifice meant to some people I talked to. Some had a lot to say, others... eh, not too much. All interviewees were close in age to me, so around 19-20 years old, and they were all female. Though some felt as though the sacrifices they made were small/insignificant, it still had some type of impact on their lives. They all, in a way, came to a similar conclusion: sacrifice can be inevitable, and it can be life changing/ life altering.

Since I haven't really worked out the kinks yet on how to make a type of voice memo collage to add to the blog, I'll add some quotes from some of the interviewees...

"Sacrifices in your life help shape the person you are. It's putting your self out of your comfort zone; it's doing something that's not your norm."

"Whatever you don't get from it {sacrifice}, you gain some knowledge, insight..."

"A sacrifice is a something you offer up: no matter if your giving it up to God, to a human being, physical or non-physical."

"Girl, I'm about to go to sleep, but...to me, sacrifice is something that you give up; it could be for a social purpose, or for someone..."

I do plan on interviewing more people, older people, and some male insight on the topic at hand. Until then...Arch Girl signing out.


Oh yeah! My gif. This is my forever mood when the song Sacrifices by Big Sean pops into my head:

My Brain is Turning Into Mush

Soooo, I've totally been spacing out and forgot about my blog last week. I almost forgot about this one, Yikes!!! I guess the end of semester withdrawals are finally getting to me. Still fixing up a few things on my new draft of my short story for my workshop this week, and I am kind of nervous. But I'll be okay. Also, my research is still going well, and I'm starting to prep for my presentation and paper. I'm super excited for what I'm gonna do for my research presentation because it won't be something of the ordinary! But for now, enjoy this gif of how I've basically been feeling for the past couple of weeks... (it seems very appropriate) Signing off, The Arch Girl

Sun’s Out, Buns Out

Hey guys! Arch Girl here with another post...from looking at the title, you guys probably have guessed it...It’s spring break!!!! I’m very excited about break too, since me and some friends are going to Hawai’i! Awesome right? So this blog was kind of an intro to what the next blog will focus on. I feel like such a nerd, but i will be doing research while on my trip. I plan on researching different sacrifices done in Hawaiian culture a long time ago. Until we meet again... Signing Out. ;)

Writer's Block is a B*$%!

Hey guys...I'm back with another blog. The blog this week is just to update you guys on my short story that goes along with my research. I feel like I've never mention the fact that I am researching this topic for a short story and a research paper. So yeah, I'm writing a short story! *this is where there would be applause/cheering* I have been having sort of a writer's block though. I would start with some really great ideas, then I would be like eh, this sucks. Then it would turn into me rereading all my feedback from my peers a kagillion times to me just staring at my computer for a couple hours. So yeah, that's how my last few couple of weeks been going for me. As usual, I'll sign off and this time, there's not going to be any quirky gif this week. *inserts sad face* I know, bummer. But see you guys next week!! The Arch Girl
