Introduction

 Hey everyone! Welcome to my blog! This is the first time I've ever been on any platform that's public so this should be a new and fun experience for me. I am 18, and I'm a new college student. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. I love soccer and played it all throughout high school. I love the outdoors and doing things like hiking, camping, canoeing, climbing, caving, all of it. That's a little it about me.

Stress Effects on the Family

      It's today's culture stress is viewed as something undesirable and unwanted in one's own life and especially in one's own relationships. People might think that having no stress in their lives would be better, but the truth is that some stress is actually beneficial. There is a inverted "U" distribution  relationship with stress benefits, what that means is up till a certain point stress is actually beneficial and can improve performance but if stress exceeds that threshold it can actually negate our performance. Some examples of this in the real world is studying for a test or doing homework last minute. If it weren't for stress then we wouldn't be motivated to complete those tasks or in sports if we weren't a little stressed out then we wouldn't be as motivated. So some stress in our lives are a good thing, but obviously there a point where that stress becomes detrimental. But we are more interested stress and it's effects on a fami...

Mutual Fund Recommendation

    In my Economics class I was asked to look at different index funds to see what would be the best to invest in after doing some research. The reason why people should do this is because index funds are a much safer bet when it comes to your future. Playing the market and actively managed mutual funds can yield some rewards occasionally but in the long run putting your money towards index funds is safer and smarter. So with that introduction let's take a look at what I found.     Besides vanguard 500 mutual fund I also found Fidelity Select Consumer Staples Portfolio (FDFAX). There is 56 holdings as of 9/30/2020 and the top 10 holdings for this mutual fund are big companies like Pepsi, Coca Cola, Walmart, Costco, etc. These are all big company names that I know many enjoy their goods and services. So saying that I would think that these businesses aren't going to go out of business any time soon and that the demand for their goods and services won't go away in...

Engagement and Wedding

      This week in class we talked about the 3rd and 4th step in the model to marriage. The entire process consists of dating, courtship, engagement, and the  marriage. In my previous post I talked about the first two and in this blog I will talk about the second two! I'll give a quick summary of my last post. In order to get to theses last steps you have to go through courtship which is being exclusive with someone. In order to help you get to that stage you need to date instead of hanging out with people. The reasons for that is because when you are just hanging out with people you have to something special to get someone's attention. When you go on a date you no longer have to compete for people's attention because you are going out on a date with someone specific.     One of the things I would recommend is still go to those hangouts but you go with someone specific so it's more of a date.      When I first heard that  engagement was ...
