QR Codes

I personally have never used QR codes in my daily life, but they are very convenient! It is so helpful that you can go directly through a link just by scanning the code. I put my twitter account on a QR code, as well as some of my favorite websites such as J.Crew, Pinterest, and Etsy! I was also able to link to some of my favorite songs on iTunes. It is now quick and easy to go to the link!

Making Stress My Friend-TED Videos

Kelly McGonigal is a health psychologist who has been researching stress and the effects of stress. She discusses how stress leads to many diseases, and sometimes even death. However, people who believe that stress is bad for their health, have a higher chance of dying due to stress. So the key to not be as stressed is to look at stress in a positive way. McGonigal says to look at stress as something that benefits our body. It was really interesting for to listen to because as a high school senior, I am VERY stressed. With homework, sports, and other activities i am involved in, I am constantly worried about all that is on my plate. So it was helpful to hear that my stress will lessen if I don't look at it in a negative way.

Sleep-TED videos

In this video Russell Foster talks about why we need sleep and what actually happens when we sleep. Something that I found very interesting was that on average, humans spend a total of 32 years sleeping. Foster discusses that sleep helps our brains create memories and store knowledge. He highlighted the lack of sleep that is so common among people in America and why it is so important for teenagers to get sleep. People who get 5 hours of sleep or less are more likely to be overweight. The whole talk was interesting because if you really think about it, sleep is such a strange phenomenon!
