Who doesn't like to read?


3b.) “Flow is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity.” I enjoy reading. I absolutely love to read and I do not need to “make time” to read. I read every night before I go to bed because it relaxes my mind but in another way it also gets my mind working. 

     Reading is healthy for the mind because it introduces the correct forms of grammar, speech, and it introduces words that I was previously unfamiliar with. I will read just about anything, I surprisingly like getting assigned the articles because they interest me, I like learning new things. I enjoy reading books for my own source of pleasure, as well as my history book, (weird I know) but reading helps me focus. 

     When I’m reading I feel like I can drown everything else out even if I’m in a loud room, but let’s say if I were to write in essay, my mind would not flow the way it does when I’m reading because I mentally cannot think. I need silence while I’m writing an essay or studying for a huge test. It is strange how reading can be so relaxing to me, meanwhile, it is also a form of learning. I can apply this to my college experience because whenever I am assigned something to read, it actually does not bother me. It is simple and I like it. Reading was a perfect choice for this specific blog because I already am applying it to my college education and future. Reading is a tool that you will never let go to waste because you read things a million times a day. You read signs to get places, you read texts messages from your family or friends, you read labels and store hours, reading is everywhere and it cannot be ignored.
