More about dating

 

      Dating is a fun thing in life. I have gone on a lot of dates already in my life, especially coming to Idaho for college. I have gone on different types of dates, but most of the time they are very similar. We either go get food, then watch a movie, or go play some game. I personal do not like watching a movie for a first date, because we are watching a movie, and not talking and not getting to know each other. That is the whole point on going on a date, getting to know people and seeing what they are like. We see what we like and don't like about them. I have gone on some weird dates, like one time, my date barley talked to me and I tried talking to him. I also think that it is okay for people to go on a lot of dates and see what different people are like, trying them out and seeing what you like for a future spouse. I am still in the dating stage of life, going out and meeting new people. It's fun, but every time I go on a first date I always get nervous and scared, but I mean that's normal and when people go on dates we all get that way. I think dates are more fun when you are doing activities, like skating, mini golfing, or just something you can interact with your date, instead of watching a movie or doing nothing. 

          I have never dated someone exclusively, so I don't really know what it's like. I think that people should date exclusive for a while before getting engaged. For me, I want to date a person for at least a whole year and see how they act for every holiday and actually get to know them. I don't want to rush anything. I think that it is really important when you get engaged and even before you get engaged that you talk about the future... like what the expectations are, see how many kids they want, or like who's going to work? I think that it is very important to discuss what you are expecting in the future and see what both of you guys want. If you don't see eye to eye on things, then try working them out and discussing it, or just don't get married if you want different things in life, and can't agree on things. It is important to be happy and set goals in life, and that your companion will have help achieve your goals with you and support you.  

           I have four siblings that are married. So I have seen their examples in how they interact with their spouses, but also when they were dating exclusively. It is nice to see how things are supposed to be in a dating relationship and have that to look up too in a way. I can see what I like that what each of my siblings did and take bits and pieces of things that they did and are still doing that I like and apply it into my dating life. I can't wait to meet someone that I can date exclusively and see where things go, depending on if we can agree on most of the things, and that we want similar things in our futures. Also, you have to see eye to eye on the way you guys want to parent your children and decide how many kids each other wants to have. I'm really excited to get married and have a life with my best friend.

Parenting

 So, parenting can be a very hard job. You are literally raising children to be good people and to adults. What is the purpose of parenting? The purpose is to love your kids and teach them, to prepare them for life, to protect and prepare our children, to survive and thrive in the world in which they live in. Children need to learn respect, cooperation, and response-ability.      Who owns the problems? Parents need to do the poute request, then say the "I feel...", then they need to be firmer, then come up with a logical consequence... (If/ then, logical, firm/ friendly, try again). For teens/ children need natural consequences, except: too dangerous, too far in future, harm others. Both the parents and child need to discuss and talk the problem out and agree on what the consequences are going to be and make sure that they are reasonable and that they will learn something from their consequences.        Needs of child/ teens:   contact a...

Last Lecture

       I have enjoyed taking the Intro to Entrepreneurship class. I have come to enjoy thinking about ideas and seeing if I could make the idea happen, or not. Some ideas may seem impossible to do or just crazy, but if you are really devoted and build a team that can help you make your idea into an actual business or product then you got it. You can do anything you set your mind too, with help from the Lord. Remember Him in all that you do, He cares about your success and wants you to succeed.      There are things in this life we cannot control. When we focus on the things we can't do or control, we lose focus what was right in front of us, what we can do. If you focus on things, you can do and once thing you can't control then you will be able to make that one thing you couldn’t control or do into something you can. Never lose sight for growth. You want to become stronger and accomplish anything you set your mind to.       You alw...

Personal Transformation

       Setting and planning goals is super important to becoming a better version of yourself. We humans love to challenge ourselves and to set goals. But do we actually follow through?       For me, I have not been the best at setting goals or planning things out and following through with them. I usually start it them then I just stop when I'm mid-way through or when I just started. I realized for me that I need to be making SMART goals and realistic goals, and plan out it step-by-step. Also, I think having a purpose in mind of why you are doing it and being and staying motivated to accomplishing it is super important. So, this week I made a list of realistic things I want to do to make me a better person and that will help me in the future. I am striving to get them done.      Staying motivated and driven to doing anything is super hard but you have to remember your WHY. Why you decided to do it. Why you wanted to do it. Staying ...
