My relationship with the Library

 My relationship with the library is nothing special. I like going to Carnegie to do my homework, but I don’t necessarily consider it a library, it feels more like work space. My relationship with Carnegie has nothing to do with books or the building’s “purpose” and everything to do with the fact that it is a silent building in which I can work. Carnegie is a great place to be efficient and get my work done. On the flip side my relationship with Bird Library is even less, and I don’t like how loud and social it is; meaning that is not a good work environment for me. However, I like Pages Cafe in Bird and that students can rent study rooms. The study rooms are really helpful when trying to prepare for an exam. More often than not, I get breakfast at Pages cafe, and occasionally, I will sit down and try to get work done, but for the most part, my relationship with Bird Library is due to the yummy coffee and bagels they have. I have a BIO study session at Bird, but it is in a private study room. I have never been the kid who was always in and out of the library. If I checked out a library book when I was little, chances are it was not getting read and then getting lost in my house for two weeks. So, even in the past, I haven’t had a personal relationship with libraries, meaning I will keep my relationship with both libraries strictly school-oriented.

Unit 3 project reflection

Felicity Sumner  WRT 105 Lyndsey Weiner  12/12/23 My Community  For my third and final project, I wanted to do something new. Given the opportunity to make a not written “text,” I came up with the idea of a “get ready with me” or a “grwm”. In this video, I take my viewers through my daily makeup routine and discuss my relationship with the community, how I have grown into my place, and my journey to get here. The makeup community for me is a version of self-expression; I wear makeup to feel confident and bold, but also because it is fun and feminine. The prompt of this final project asked for a non-written piece of text expressing this community you are a part of but also the discourse that any individual has to face when learning about and building their relationship with their community. The discourse presents itself often in the makeup community, which is the line between confidence and insecurity. Makeup is supposed to boost confidence, and while it does boost confide...

UNIT 2 draft

  In Unit 1 the class was introduced to the idea of our individual communities. I wrote about my swimming community, having been a swimmer for the past fifteen years of my life, I would consider being a swimmer part of my identity. Though I chose to write about this specific community, my identity is made up of different skills that I have learned in all the different communities I indulged myself in in my hometown. In my hometown is my family, my friends, familiarity, and all my larger communities that shaped my identity. Growing up in Burlington, Vermont, is a community of itself and is the reason I am the way I am. However, I no longer live there, my home is now Syracuse, New York. Living is also a part of my identity, meaning it is also my home. The difference is that Burlington is Familiar; it has all my memories and my childhood home, and Syracuse has nothing that has shaped my identity in the past. The tension is not between my two communities but rather its internally becau...
