Assimilate

While I am ruminating through thoughts on a topic, I stumbled upon a "word of the day" post idea. So, in turn, I will try this and see how it works. Well, whenever I think of assimilation I think of adjusting or understanding something(s) to a full extent. It may sound like a stretch but hope it works.

 Definition here: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/assimilate

 Whenever we assimilate, it makes us think of how we must adjust to changes that either affect or transcend into our routines or norms. The norms or routines may be something we are used to, or we look to acclimate to something that is new that we want to set as a routine. Perhaps, assimilation is not a bad thing because what it could do is shape how we confront issues, the ones that we may dislike to a full degree. Additionally, it could shape a new level of maturity for us; to develop a new mindset of how to resolve issues or problems that seem unpleasant. One thing may be certain is that assimilation is meant not to be a terrible thing because we all face assimilation regardless of who we are. What will become a determining factor is how we reject its purpose and whether we want to encounter for what it is.

Throughout the course of history, an abundance of women mobilized during experiences, instances that confronted adversity based upon gender, race, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class and other classes within the societal umbrella. Respectively, many compassionate women acted as trailblazers even as many contenders questioned their integrity and intentions. However, it is certain that many women remained persistent and pushed the limits to share awareness. Another personal note: as a plethora of women have declared and acted toward powerful moments of our history, they have transcended above the fray. Personally, I admire women who defend their rights as they strive for a world of equality. From Jane Fonda, Oprah Winfrey, Gloria Steinem, Madeline Alb...

University textbooks prices can get expensive

Students who attend already know there are many expenses to pay off such as loans, tuition, room and board fees and to top it off, dreaded textbooks. Obviously, buying college textbooks can be essential for college students while enrolled in courses; however they may view buying textbooks as a penny-pinching experience. A vast majority of college students would agree, buying textbooks for classes can be a hassle; but many of us do it anyway. When professors assign textbooks for courses many students comply because they should help us learn coursework and pass classes. Although a main con of buying textbooks is sky-high prices, are there alternative resources when purchasing them? The answers maybe just near our fingertips. A few resources upon suggestion: The Chegg website is a textbook website where textbooks can be rented and shipped to a mailing address. It could be a good resource considering it allows students to rent textbooks and then mail them back to the sender. Another w...

The Inevitable -- Original Poem

It was meant to happen Someone or something unexpected  It interrupts you, discourages you It was meant to happen It has changed you, your life It has made you live for more Someone or something that was meant for you You yearn to know the reason But it remains unknown, hidden It was meant to happen It confuses you, frustrated you It has angered you, enticed you Made you feel defeated But you never gave up You strived to learn more You remained persistent, never gave up It was meant to happen Someone or something unexpected has occurred to you Don't let it go You will know it soon enough It was the inevitable
