1. Why rejection hurts so much 

https://ideas.ted.com/why-rejection-hurts-so-much-and-what-to-do-about-it/ 

Our brains our wired to dislike rejection. It talks about how when they ran an MRI rejection was in the same part of the brain as physical pain. We are social beings, since the beginning of time we have needed to be in a group to survive so rejection has been happening forever. Rejection is also a time for self evolution to think why was I rejected and to become better from it not worse. 

2. Silence the Critical Voices in you head

This one I found interesting because mental health is come to the forefront for me this year with the pandemic. Quarantine and being alone led me to think about my decisions and self reflect on my life so far. The critical voices in our head will always be there but silencing them or using them as motivation is an important tool everyone needs to know. This article basically is informing you that every self critical voice can be seen as positive you just have to learn how to make it positive or understand the deeper meaning of these thoughts. 

The topic of mental health has really come to the forefront during this pandemic and how important it is. For me I've always loved in english classes how we peer review each others papers. Having another set of eyes self critiquing can be so helpful because it's a different point of view. Playing tennis growing up I always had coaches telling me they're strategies. The interesting part was that it was all up to me whether I took their advice because tennis was an individual sport.

Introduction to Joshua the Biology major

My name is Joshua Cohlmia and I was born and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Being raised here made it an easy choice to continue my education at the University of Oklahoma. My major is Biology/Pre-Dental. The most interesting part of my major is that I've taken lots of difficult science classes but have never once learned about teeth. It's weird taking all these classes that don't apply directly yo my job in the future. The most interesting class I took last semester was molecular biology. Having a pandemic while taking these science classes has been awesome (for class not in everyday life) because a lot of teachers have been using Covid-19 as an example and I've gotten to learn so much about it. Last semester I finally reached my goal of achieving a 4.0 which I had never done before. My favorite movie is Die Hard because it ties my two favorite things together, Christmas and action. My favorite book is the Harry Potter series because it was the first series of book

Next to them was a beautiful lake with a very cunning crane. The crane loves to eat fish and saw an opportunity to take advantage of the fish struggling in their pond. The Crane flew over to the fish and enticed the fish by telling them about this beautiful lake next to them with a plentiful amount of water. Soon, all the fish in the lake were gathered around the Crane while he went on and on about the lake he lives in with lots of water. The fish were all thrilled to hear this but also very suspicious of the crane because they knew that cranes feast on fish. They asked many questions but the crane was quite convincing. The fish gathered together to decide and wound up deciding to give the Crane a cha
