Midterm Reflection

I really don’t care much for the video assignment, I feel like it doesn’t help anymore than the other assignments. I’m the type of person I would rather just “stick to the script so to speak. I would rather just do the research and write about it. I used the same pictures as in the WordPress site. I feel like it was me just redoing the same thing over again and it didn’t really help me in any way. it does in some ways annoy me because I feel like it doesn’t really make a difference or help me any.

I haven’t really learned anything new for my topic. All of the information that I put in the video I already knew and was just rewording it in a different way. I did however learn how to make a picture video and that is a plus I guess.

I feel pretty good about my progress in this class. I feel like I am learning a lot. I feel like I am getting better with technology overall. I feel like I could have done better about meeting with the CEC, I need to get caught up with her. I just haven’t been on my A game and getting what I need done when I need it done.

PSA

I searched up tiny houses and videos came up of different tiny houses, the first one that popped up was a video of different tiny houses labeled tiny houses PSA. I think this video will be a video of just different tiny houses. I feel like the video will show me what different tiny houses look like. This PSA was promoting a certain place that has tiny houses and was talking about how tiny houses were “sweeping the nation”. This PSA was talking about how there was going to be an auction to sell tiny houses and was trying to tell people to go to the auction. This PSA makes sense to me and I understand what it is trying to say. I chose this topic to look up because this is what I am doping my research over and my PSA over so it gave me a lot of ideas as to what to include in mine and how to go about making it. This PSA would be effective I feel like if people were interested in buying a tiny houses and they could go to the auction and bid on the tiny house and could get a better deal at the time this video was made.

Pros And Cons

There are a lot of differences in tiny houses. There are a few things they have in common though. Some people say that in tiny houses there isn’t as much of a mess because of the space. Tiny houses also gives you a lot of opened up space to do a lot go things and isn’t very time consuming. Tiny houses are very mobile and you can literally pick up the tiny house anytime and move anywhere you wanted to very easily. if you wanted to take a road trip around the world it would be very easily done. there are however some cons to this like , you have to have a huge truck to haul it and you would need to be able to drive a big truck.

if you are looking for a cheaper house for the overall cost and in the moment then a tiny house would probably be good for you but if you are wanting to live in the house forever I would probably invest in an normal sized house depending on peoples life statuses. You would also spend less money on food and furniture because you will only have so much room to put things in the tiny house, spending less money is better. If you have a small place to heat and cool the utility bills would be way less expensive and you would save a lot of money. There however is a lot of storage but it isn’t always easy to access it. There typically isn’t any mortgage when you purchase a tiny house so you wouldn’t have the worry of another bill. overall if you were to purchase a tiny house you would have a simpler life.

Low Stakes Assignment

A lot of people are using pictures that appeal to my emotion and a lot of people gave credit to a lot of images to the people that make them. I seen a lot of pictures done by ourselves too that look really good and look like people really tried. I really liked this assignment and what it has done for us all. I feel like I have a better understanding with everybodys topic and how they feel on the subject they are writing about. I feel like the work I did was pretty good and decent at explaining the point I was trying to get across. a lot of the images I’ve seen makes me feel happy and some of them make me feel dark and sad by what they are portraying.

I have uploaded pictures of my normal size house that I have took by myself and other pictures of tiny houses I have uploaded from the internet that other people have took. there is a huge difference in space and that is my main reason for adding these. there are a lot of things that are full size in my house and in a tiny house you don’t get all of that.

this picture is a picture I took when I got my senior pictures done. In this picture I was trying to look away from the camera, I was trying to smile and make it look as if it was a candid picture. I was holding my hair and sitting up against the fence to look relaxed. I think the person taking the picture was looking for a picture that was happy and I feel like thats why she had me smile. The picture has a farm like kind of background and I feel like that represents Kentucky and how beautiful it is. these were my senior pictures and I think people get senior pictures done because they want the person to remember a time in their life when they are accomplishing something very big and exciting. the person taking the picture was probably blurring the tree out because she wanted the main focus to be me and have the focus on my face. I am wearing white because I thought it was a color that would look really good with the color green and how pretty it was outside. white is a very light color and I feel like it goes in with trying to put the focus on me. I wore a necklace because I thought that I needed to add a little bit of something so I didn’t look too plain.

More About Tiny Houses

Tiny Houses are something that people are becoming more interested in and are wondering if its the right move for them. I am one of these people that need to figure out this myself because I’m thinking about building a tiny house. Most Tiny houses are built on a trailer so you can move them around and take them where ever you go. Tiny houses are usually between 100-130 square feet. People live in tiny houses because they are cheap and save money. Tiny houses are easier to take care of than a bigger house even though you are losing some room, you have less room to have to clean. These are a few reasons that I feel like will influence mine and others decisions on if Tiny houses are a good investment.

Some people suggest that Tiny Houses are a fad and not a trend. Some people also say Tiny Houses aren’t actually cheaper to build. Tumbleweed tiny houses cost about 400 per square foot and regular houses cost about 150 per square foot. Tiny Houses are not called Houses but actually RV’s because of the use of the trailer. tiny houses that are not on a trailer must meet the same requirements as a regular house. More than 40% of homeowners say they regret purchasing tiny houses and 33% said they would’ve rather bought a normal sized home. These are a lot of good sources that are going top contribute to my decision and a lot of good controversy.

Tiny Houses

Weissman, Steve, et al. Tumbleweed Tiny House Company. 1 Jan. 2018, http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com.

“Country Living.” Country Living , Country Living Organization, 1 Jan. 2019, http://www.countryliving.com/about/a707/contact-us/.

Tumbleweed Tiny House Company is an organization that has created an affordable way for others to create their own tiny “dream” houses. This a popular thing trending into todays society.

Tiny houses are very popular in todays society because it is a more cost efficient way for everyday people to get everything they dreamed of in a house. Tiny houses also do not require as much electricity if any at all to live in so it’s much better for our environment.

I feel that the website is very accurate with it’s information, this is very relevant in today’s society, and I feel it is very fair to the everyday life style.

Looking ahead the source raises many new questions and also pushes me into a new direction into this topic. I wonder if the tiny houses really are this beneficial.


Reflection on the Library

I learned a lot about how to comprehend information through the library site. There is a lot of information that is very good information that I have took from the site. I feel like the site has helped me narrow down what I want to write about a little. There is a lot of different ways to comprehend information and there are a lot of different ways to learn new information. I want the information I post to send a good uplifting message oh my social media to people.

I am not very far yet on finding a question yet. I still don’t know what I want to learn about tiny houses because all the information is so broad. I’m wanting to know what about tiny houses that my classmates would like to know. I am more of a picture person so I want to be able to add a lot of cool pictures to present the information. I am not as nervous as I was at first regarding the subject because I’ve got a lot of help with ideas and how to go about the subject. I will use the CEC for a lot of my questions about this assignment, I feel like she will be a big help to me to be able to make a good grade on the assignment.
