This weekend, I went home. I decided to do my 15 minutes of reflection at home on Saturday. I went outside and sat in a chair in my backyard for 15 minutes. I found it to be quite relaxing. It wasn’t too weird for me because it’s something I like to do, but I mostly do it in the summer. The weather wasn’t perfect because it was a bit cold and had rained earlier in the day, but I still enjoyed the time by myself. I personally am someone who likes to find time for just myself. I feel I get almost overwhelmed if I am not able to find this time to be alone. Although I have done this before, I still felt myself wondering how other people in my life were, and this made me want to reach for my phone and find out. Turkle explained how technology can distance us from the people right next to us because we are busy trying to connect with people who are farther away. I think this is true because I wanted to check on other people when my own family was right inside my house. Also, when I sat for this 15 minutes, I reflected on how I was feeling so far this year. I haven’t found a lot of time to think about how I am doing in college, and although I was home when I was doing this thinking, I was still able to reflect on how I feel while at school. It’s such a new and different experience, and sometimes I’m so busy that I don’t find time to actually think about how I’m doing. Taking this time over the weekend helped me to realize that I should find more time while at school to sit and think like this without a lot of distractions around. This time and space can be harder to find while at school than at home, so I need to work to make this time.
