During our library research I learned more than just how to
locate things in the library. On the
topic of autonomy, I learned and finally understand what it actually is. Autonomy really demonstrates what it takes to
be creative and become an individual. Autonomy means taking charge of your own life,
it means taking that extra step to be different and make yourself unique. This is not always easy and in fact some
people prefer not to put in the extra effort and choose to rather conform to
the social normalities.
As a
freshman in college, autonomy definitely applies to everyone. I came to Southern knowing not one person and
after a semester here, I’d say I know a lot of people but I would consider
myself to have one friend. This isn’t because
I don’t put myself out there and I don’t go out because I do both of
those. I am extremely picky when it
comes to my friends and most of my friends are very similar to myself. This can be a downfall of mine but I would
consider it the opposite. If you have a
million friends that you aren’t extremely close with, it will set you up for disappointment
but if you have a handful of very close friends, there’s always someone that
you can guarantee will be there when you need them. So all in all, the library research seemed almost tedious at first but I am happy that we had that experience because not only do I know where to find everything I need in the library now, I know what autonomy is.
