Reading one or two books that I've been expecting for quite a while, though I hope that Amazon could make the shipment quicker (I ordered them more than a week ago, haven't seen any changes on track shipment :(

I plan on doing some cleaning! I find cleaning to be very relaxing to me and it feels like a fresh new start. I feel like I've neglected taking care of myself and the environment around me these past few weeks. Hopefully this will also help with my mental health since I am easily affected by my surroundings. Probably dancing and singing a bit more too. Catering to my hobbies and spending time with my loved ones!

# data[].attributes.body
Reading books for enjoyment is one thing that I have been missing out on a lot due to having a lot of academic readings so I think taking some time to read for fun would be my self care of choice. Discovering more music too is also something I want to do over this break since that is one of my favorite things.

Meditate, listen to instrumental music, try out new diy skincare and pray.

I learned about biases, rhetorical discord, rhetorical theories, logical fallacies, and a variety of theories and how they are applied socially; especially within and social media through social media trends and tools.

# data[].attributes.body
I would talk about ways to analyze different arguments we see, whether in academic literature or on the news and social media. Being able to see how all the pieces of an argument combine with every aspect of an issue to push a certain agenda.

# data[].attributes.body
I would respond by saying that I learned a lot about the different theories surrounding persuasion. Utilizing aspects of media to make the connection of how effective each theory is has made it really easy to visualize how to use with social issues in this class. I personally also really enjoyed learning about memes, their history, and how they connect to persuasion.

# data[].attributes.headline
I primarily learned how abundant and effective logical fallacies are in persuading people to adopt incorrect positions.

For now I would say people on social media since I spend most of my time at home right now. Though personally I enjoy face-to-face interaction more just kind of to see more nonverbal communication clues such as facial expression to feel more close to someone.

# data[].attributes.headline
I learned about different frameworks for understanding persuasion/rhetoric in the context of social issues (pretty straightforward). More importantly, I felt connected to others in our open-minded discussions of social issues, as I was already familiar with most of the course content introduced (fallacies, etc.). I'd recommend this course on the basis of that connection

I connect to people better in person, I feel like that is how I can get to know people and for them to get to know me. This is probably because I am awkward and only feel comfortable in one-on-one or small groups where I know some people or we are all new to each other. Also, I love deep convos and it's difficult at times to get deep or share with a character limit. I do engage with more people on social media. I like to engage in conversations and sharing my opinions, especially since I used to be really insecure about it.

# data[].attributes.body
Social Media brings me to people with similar interests, finding each other online means that we're on the same platforms and looking at similar things. I feel like this is surface level connection though. In person connections I feel is a little more intimate and  my relationships go deeper.

# data[].attributes.body
Technically more by social media, but it never feels as meaningful as in person meetings. However, the people I'm closest to at the moment are almost all people I've met online. Even with them though, the strong connections weren't built on social media, but more through actual calls

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like it depends on the people I am engaging with... In terms of my closest friends, connection in person is definitely more valuable as I am comfortable with them. For those I am not as close with, social media can be a nice tool to connect with others without having to schedule or plan hangouts which might be intimidating for both parties at first.

# data[].attributes.body
I think social media is a great place for mass interactions especially with how easy it is. I can text like 10 people at a time with ease. However, I tend to find myself connecting more with people in person in a relationship-building sense.

# data[].attributes.headline
I connect more with in person, so long as "in person" includes phone calls. Social Media is primarily for news and entertainment.

I did just recently. Though I didn't force myself to not to look at any social media platform at all, I checked them when I felt great and that was when I could rationally and critically evaluate what I was reading and posting.

# data[].attributes.body
It's really hard for me to stay off of social media completely since most of the community work I do is through social media. But I did choose to stay off specific apps that I was able to and reflected on my intentions when it came to how I used social media and how I balance it with my life.

# data[].attributes.body
I took a break from Instagram specifically, but I realized I couldn't keep up with most of my "kind of close" friends. It was a nice break since the only people I talked to were those that mattered most to me, but since everyone I know uses Instagram primarily, I would have to give up my only way to interact with them (and I came back)

Not at all. I can go a few days, but avoiding social media for me is suicidal. It has been this way for over a decade. I try to be productive with social media, though.

I've considered completely deleting my social media apps from my phone but I also have a slight FOMO problem, it's an integrated part of my daily life so I know it would be difficult to go off the grid.

# data[].attributes.body
I honestly think social media keeps me connected to so many friends and family members as well as keeps me in the loop on some topics so I caved in and started using it again.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I was incredibly more productive when I was off social media, but when I finished my break I just binged it for like a day. I think it's all about balance.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to use tik tok quite a lot about a year ago. It was a means of escape almost-- since the videos are so distracting. I deleted it about 4-5 moths ago and have not used it since. I have felt much more productive in a way because it would take a lot of my time.
