HAPPY CHANUKAH Y'ALL!!!
Reflection 14 is here!!! And so is our second to last class! That's crazy. Last class was the first half of our final simulations. Last simulation, I represented the environmental grass roots organization The Sierra Club. However, this simulation I represented Shell Oil. Although I was not particularly elated about representing an oil company, I was happy to change my view so drastically and prove to the class and PTJ that I can accurately report and present many types of information, even opposing viewpoints and topics that go against my personal bias. I thought that my presentation went extremely well and I am very confident that my group performed well. I thought that this simulation was a lot more organized and that everyone felt more prepared and generally more confident about their presentations. My group last time worked well together, but this time especially, my group collaborated very efficiently together. I wish I had had the opportunity to work with everyone in the class on a level like this. It really brings you closer to your peers and allows you to better understand them on a personal and academic level. Outside of world politics reflection, I formatted and designed the entirety of the FIRST EVER Her Campus print magazine by myself!! It was tiring, but rewarding. It will be printed this weekend and be premiered at the media release party in SIS Founders on Saturday. In return for my hard work, the Her Campus E-Board has awarded me an E-Board position and I am now the Design Director for the print team! Exciting!!!

Hi Halle!! First of all, congrats on Her Campus, the magazine looked really great!! Second, it was really great to work with you on this simulation, and especially interesting considering who you represented last time versus who you're representing this time. You definitely proved that you can do your research and play for both sides really well! I also appreciated that under our leadership, Shell chose to donate funds to Mozambique without expecting anything in return-- although it might be slightly unrealistic, I'd like to believe that big business. isn't entirely driven by profits and greed, and can still work to help people around the world. Happy finals!!
