Entry #1: ZZZZZZ

One of my hobbies are to sleep! Whenever I can, I will take a nap. It is common for us humans to lack the importance of understanding how much sleep your body needs. One of the things for humans to function is to get enough rest. Sleeping gives your body time to regenerate. Being a college student can means that getting rest can be very hard. Studies have shown that a great percent of college students do not get very good sleep. One suspicion for this is that they might not understand that it is so important. With this being said, I will dig deeper into consequences of sleep deprivation. 


To start with, sleep deprivation is, simply, not getting enough sleep. When you really look into it, your body will start to have problems from not sleeping for a long period of time.  After not sleeping for a long period of time or even if you're not frequently sleeping, the cognitive function in your brain starts to go down. Along with this, mood changes might begin and paranoia can begin to set in. Let's look into the good effects of getting quality sleep. Some benefits are reduced stress and, of course, increased brain function. It is basically the opposite of sleep deprivation. 


I love to rest because school and life can be stressful and a good nap will almost always be refreshing. In all, make sure to get your rest. We all have incredible bodies to take care of. Sleeping can be overlooked but just make sure to remember to sleep!

    The formatting of this blog was excellent! It was really pleasing to read small paragraphs with just enough information, then to see a nice image that connects perfectly with the topic presented. I am definitely a part of the statistic regarding college students whom do not acquire adequate sleep. This blog definitely has me reconsidering my sleep schedule!

    I will definitely agree with this I love sleeping. But I don't get enough often because of managing school work and daily life things that I have to get done. It always causes stress but when I do get the time to sleep I always feel more energized and motivated.

    Hi! I was also going to consider doing my hobby blog on sleeping too because I also love to sleep! However, now that college has started back up again I have realized it has been harder for me to get enough sleep, especially when I work almost full time as well. I will try to make sure to get more sleep in the future because as you stated, getting enough rest is super important!

    Your blog really helps me further understand the importance of sleep. I struggle to sleep with my college schedule. My entire morning is filled with classes and even when I'm done, I'm stuck at track practice for almost the entire afternoon. Once I get home, I'm occupied with homework which I usually spend my whole evening doing.

Entry #4: Being a twin!

Image
One of the biggest parts of my life, since I was born of course, is being a twin! It is such a blessing to be a twin and it is also very unique. I am an identical twin so that means that both my sister and I come from the same fertilized egg. I am going to explain a little more on how twins are formed and also how we share the same DNA.  Identical twins are monozygotic . This means that one single egg splits into two separate embryos. Something to help with the understanding of identical twins is that they come from the same genetic material. This means their DNA is almost exactly the same. Although we come from the same egg, we are not exact copies of each other. Genetic mutations play a part in this. This is because over time, DNA grows so we are now doing it independently. Going further into this, identical twins look very alike. Here is an example of my twin and I!  As you can see, we look extremely alike! This tends to have people confusing us a lot. There are things that distingu

A big part of my life, just like everyone else, is work. Lucky for me, my work revolves around ice cream. I work at Bruster's Real Ice Cream and I am very proud to say so. I have worked there coming up on a year this month. This job is not only fun and in a good environment, but very understanding. The owner works around my school schedule so I can work and go to school. It is very important to be happy at work and this is why.  Image Source  Working in a good environment is great for so many reasons. One of these reasons is that a good work environment means there is also good work being done. According to Zipdo , approximately 70% of employees exceed what they are expected of when they have a good working environment. I can assure you that this is definitely the case at Bruster's. Along with the increased productivity, another advantage of working in a good environment is that it increases job satisfaction. Employees are more likely to stay at a workplace and enjoy it when th
