26A – Celebrating Failure


Whelp this post hits home for me…
Recently, in the past semester, I’ve failed to get not one, not two, but three interviews each for different things, some including 1st and 2nd interviews; failed at staying enrolled at school; failed at paying my bills on time; failed at posting for this class regularly; failed at keeping my family together; failed at keeping my cool under stress; failed at getting jobs/ internships, honestly this list is endless.

I guess throughout this painstaking process of abundant failures, I would say I haven’t learned from them yet because it seems to feel like I am still failing at life. Possibly this post came at a very difficult time for me, but I guess I know deep down that giving up isn’t option, nor has it ever been. However, with that said I would like to point out the being flexible and adjusting my own expectations has been the only way to avoid giving up. Reflecting on what I’ve written and experienced, I guess I have learned to have zero expectations in life and to just carry on with the general ebb and flow of life.

    Hi Caroline!
    I can understand how you feel completely. Failure is something that makes us go so hard on ourselves that we forget that making mistakes is okay. I too feel that way whenever I make a mistake and fail at something. Just know that your failures don't amount to the number of successes I am sure you have! Keep trying and never give up on what you want! This inspired me!

    Hey I totally understand how you feel, I wrote about a relatively normal failure for my post but Ive had several other failures going on in the background that I didn't mention. Especially with school and finishing assignments on time and getting the grades I need. And I sure haven't learned any lessons yet. But hey summer coming soon so I hope the change of seasons brings some good fortune too.

24 Putting It All Together

Assignment 24A – Venture Concept No. 1 Opportunity: Pretty  much every student at University of Florida can agree that traveling to, within, or even through our expansive campus can be a bit of a hassle. From the low speed limit of twenty miles per hour to the sheer capacity of automobiles such as busses, bikes, scooters, cars, and ‘cross walkers’ is just too much for the small two lane roads that make up the campuses roadways. When compared to similar campuses, such as Florida State University ( 477 acres ), University of Florida towers over the competitor school at 2,000 acres. This demonstrates the need for extra transportation because walking from one end to the other of Florida State’s campus is not nearly as daunting as the track across over a thousand acres of land that makes up University of Florida’s campus On that note University of Florida has an abundant scooter population with infrastructure better suited for scooter commuters than commuters ...
