One of my results that I scored highly in was social. I felt like that does relate to my personality as I am always trying to meet new people, and of course make new experiences. I am always participating’s in social events such as galas, bake sales, educational programs. As for the Holland career test number 2, I got highest in artistic. One of the highest-ranking careers was interior designer, which ironically was one of the things I wanted to do as a side job after I got my nursing degree.

I experience flow as a Nurse.

I would have to say the way I experience flow is by my everyday routine. I wake up for work, eager to conquer the day. I wake up excited to go to work, as I see regular patients because I work at an outpatient clinic. Some of these patients are no longer patients in my eyes but kind of like a second family that I take care of. They always come with surprises, or great news. I work oncology which would make one think that its all sadness, and bad days. But every day is a new day to fight, and my patients look to me to provide them with this comfort. So it is definitely something I look forward to. I would definitely consider that my flow.

The most important piece of information I've learned from this chapter is the idea of never wasting time. You want to run a marathon, sign up for it. You want to travel across the united states for a month in a RV, get that going. Time is so precious, yet the biggest thief of all. We don’t realize it, but as we get older, our bodies change with no reversal. Like it states in chapter 14 pg 421, “Normal aging changes progress into chronic disease and ultimately, during the old-old years, may result in activities of daily living (ADL) problems, either less incapacitating instrumental ADL problems or basic ADL limitations (troubles with basic self-care).” The things we do on a regular day basis, no longer become normal things we can do with age. Living life to the fullest while in my youth is so important to me, because I never want to look back and regret. Having regrets is worse than knowing you never tried.

The real age quiz didn’t shock me too much as I am always trying to keep myself young. But its nice to see that number given how much of my early years I had to sacrifice for schooling, and still kind of do. It was interesting to see what they asked for them to come up with such a result. But it seems like I am doing something right to maintain my youth. I try to stay consistent with the gym, and healthy habits. But sometimes truth is, life can get in the way. Considering I am 25 years young, see what I did there? I would say this was a nice number to see, and I'll take it anyway!

This test asked a lot of questions that I never thought of personally, but was very interesting. There were specifics about flossing, how often I use sun-screen. Those are never things that I think could possibly affect my life expectancy. I got an average of 90 years old, which is a good number to see, hoping I’m doing something right. I got some feedback on things I can change to add to my years. One of those things they said to decrease was caffeine intake, this would give me a year and a half more of life. Another change they recommended which truly surprised me, was to eliminate iron as it is considered an age-accelerator and increases risk for age-related diseases.

I truly wish this course was set up hybrid because of the creativity this class has to offer. I loved everything about it. Our assignments were never dull, and always were set up to have our own touches put to it. A prime example was the Canva assignment. You were very supportive and clear of what was expected of us students. I would redo the course just to be your student again. Thank you for an amazing semester.

I personally believe that early adulthood (30s) is the ideal stage. At this point, I will have reached the career goals I've been working so hard for. I spent my twenties figuring out a structure, devoting time, and sacrificing a lot of hangouts/parties. By the time I hit my 30s, I will have already graduated with my master's degree and hopefully have all the children I wanted. I see my 30s as my enjoying years, the "work hard young, enjoy later" concept. In regard to my career stability and family life, I believe that my 30s will allow for financial stability, it hopefully will become easier to travel, and return to my hobbies. As it states in the book pg 327. “This traditional stable career is now atypical. People move from job to job, or change direction, starting new careers as they travel through life.” These are just the few things that I believe the 30s offer, and why it is the “ideal stage”.
