Feedback Thoughts

Feedback is something that I am used to. In almost all of the classes that I have been in whether it be online or in-class lecture I have learned to give feedback. After reading Laura's assignment description it really made me think and agree with the fact that most people are afraid of harsh feedback even though it could help the person succeed in the future.

I don't think I have ever received negative feedback from a peer from anything I have worked, so that might prove that students are afraid to give their peers feedback. But I have received negative feedback from professors, which I have taken to change what I have done and make it better. Just today I went to my professor Robert Pritchard who is the advisor for PRSSA and Lindsey + Asp and I had him look over my resume before I sent it to my contact at the Marriott Convention Center at the NCED for Lindsey + Asp. He gave me a lot of feedback on what I had done wrong and gave me an example on how I could improve it. By the end of the day I had edited my resume and let him look back over it and he said it was great.

The two articles that I read were "Recalibrating the Perfectionist Mind" and "5 Tips For Taking Feedback Like a Champ." The article "Recalibrating the Perfectionist Mind" is something that immediately stood out to me because all of my friends call me a perfectionist. After I read the article I definitely agreed with some of the things the article talked about and some techniques I could use for text anxiety (which I do suffer from). The other article "5 Tips For Taking Feedback Like a Champ" helped but words and thoughts to something that had always been in the back of my mind when I had to do feedback for my classes. Giving feedback to peers really is uncomfortable but hopefully my peers won't take it in a bad way and will take feedback as a way to do better. When I get negative feedback on things that I wrote from professors, sometimes it upsets me but I try to learn from my mistakes.

Introduction to a PR Student

Hi, my name is Chelsea Journee and I am from The Woodlands, Texas. The Woodlands is about 30 minutes north of Houston, Texas. My family and I have lived in the same house my entire life so it was a big change for me when I decided to go to college in a different state. I am currently a first semester senior (by hours) at OU. I am studying public relations and my minor is general business. On campus I am pretty involved. I am in a social sorority, I am an account manager for Lindsey + Asp (OU's student-run PR and ad agency) and I am also the treasurer for PRSSA (Public Relations Student Society of America). (Personal Photo: My sorority family) (Personal Photo: PRSSA executive leadership outside of Gaylord Hall) I enjoy lounging around with my dogs while watching Netflix in my free-time. My dog's names are Jasper and Snickers. Jasper is a miniature dashchund that loves to lay in anyone's lap and we don't really know what Snickers is because we rescued her

Week 4 Story: Sita and Rama as College Students

Sita and Rama were madly in love. But there was always one thing that got in the way, school. Every day Rama would talk to Sita about how much he wished he could spend every second with her. Sita agreed but sometimes she thought he was a little overbearing. Sita and Rama spent hours together every week, but considering that they were both college students they spent most of their time together studying. On the weekends they would occasionally go to dinner together or watch a movie. Sita was very involved in her schoolwork. She was in a lot of campus clubs and activities, while Rama tended to just hangout with his friends, especially his best friend Lakshmana. Sita didn't know why but she was still madly in love with Rama, despite their obvious differences in character and work ethic. Rama was doing so badly in school that the university even threatened to kick him out. Sita didn't understand why he was doing so badly even though the majority of the time they hung out toge
