Feedback Thoughts

5 Tips For Taking Feedback Like a Champ
I really liked this article. It highlighted the very real fact that most people are bad at taking constructive criticism. But it also gives some solid advice to taking that criticism. Taking criticize is always something I have had trouble with. I am much better at taking it now than I used to be, but I could still be better at it. I really liked the point about being in a state of under-performing as opposed to having under-performing as a trait. I think this is a really important distinction to make. You can always improve at something you are bad at.

Using Harsh Feedback to Fuel Your Career

I think this article also gave some sound advice. I liked that it focused on having a positive mindset after receiving feedback. The point about creating incentives for yourself is a pretty important part. It isn't always necessary as in some cases improvement itself is all that is necessary to motivate you. But is other cases some extra motivation in the form of incentives is definitely helpful. I am not really sure if an "environment of accountability" is always the best route to go for every goal. I also liked that they started with a personal story to show how others use feedback as motivation to improve.

One important thing to note is that even if you are capable of taking feedback well, it means nothing if you don't think about it and try to implement it.

Introduction to a Hopeful Rocket Scientist

My name is Chris Weigel and I am a senior majoring in Aerospace Engineering. Initially, I came to OU wanting to be a Chemical Engineer. I have always enjoyed chemistry and still do to this day.

That being said, I switched to Aerospace because I realized how much I love aircraft and spacecraft. I am a member of the Boomer Rocket Team, an engineering competition team focused on building rockets for competition. Last year I helped build our rocket for the Spaceport America Cup which is an international competition. This was the team's first competition with more than 5 other teams competing.

I primarily play Overwatch and Dota 2. I play a number of other games as

Week 7 Story - You'll Find Your Dreams at a Crossroads

It was nearing midnight, and though the moon shone full, it was still dark. Justin walked forward, tentatively, following an old path in the woods. He had heard the legends. The hushed whispers of the folk of the town he grew up in. That there was something that could give him anything he had ever wanted. Something unnatural. He heard the rumors: that you had to bring gifts – an offering of sorts. He had spent the last week meticulously gathering what he needed: a yarrow flower, a cat’s paw, human blood – your own blood. You’ll find your dreams at a crossroads. It was a phrase well recorded with the town. Every victim of an unsolved murder within the last hundred years in his town had the phrase carved into one of their arms. Granted, there weren’t many of them, but there were enough to make people wonder. The phrase repeated in his mind over and over. He grew nervous. The Crossroads Justin stopped. In front of him, the path split. A crossroads, he thought . He was the
