When I was in elementary school, I loved group projects. It always meant having some fun with friends while getting an easy A, but now since I've reached college, the concept of a "group project" brings with it hellish nightmares haunting me for weeks at a time until the dreadful assignment has reached its end.
One of my first serious group projects was in fifth grade and I met my best friend who I am living with next year. Clearly, I do not have a bad outlook on group projects because such a good friendship came from one.
However, since I've been in college, I really see no other option in my outlook on them. And, honestly, not much has happened to prove me wrong. Most college group projects have left me staying up all night the night before its due working with my group to put scattered pieces of individual work together.
My current group project has completely left me at a loss for what to do. I had to make a video with a group and the goal of the assignment is to get as many views as possible. Therefore, putting the video on YouTube quick and making it something people want to watch is key! Well, my group just put the video up and we have a report due in a few days to explain our progress. Making a video does NOT count as progress. The progress comes from getting views.
I finally decided to take the project into my own hands and make a video, which took an entire day of editing and frustration by myself to finish. After posting the video to YouTube, I emailed it to my group members telling them I thought we needed something to work with so I just did it. Well, after all my effort, one girl thought the video was too long....it's a music video....to a song. I was willing to cut out one of the choruses because I figured it could do without a repeated chorus, but when we went to edit, all she wanted to do was basically make a different video.
So I have decided to promote my own video and I hope you all enjoy it. Watch it multiple times and let your friends know about it!!! :)
Also, if you have time we have a 5 question survey....I promise no hard work involved... if you wouldn't mind taking it you can click on the link:
I promise my next blog entry will not be me self promoting my own video! Take Care :)
