Beer Summit

Surprisingly I am not about to write about beer because this is a family friendly page. Instead, I am going to be reflecting on a time when one of my peers changed my mind on a specific matter. Before deciding what specific time where I had my mind changed I wanted to figure out if I could connect it to the idea of romantic love since it was my most recent unit project. This was quite a difficult task because love is something that I am unbearably stubborn towards and it is nearly impossible for me to change my opinion on it. However, there was a single memory of when I was speaking to my friend about how social media has it’s positive qualities and that there is a has never been a greater accessibility to people. To my surprise, this remark was met by a scoff and her exclaiming, “Well not if you’re trying to find love”. I. was shocked and confused but then clarity hit as she continued. She explained that because of modern day society’s reliance on dating apps the couples first interaction would be through text rather than in person. As a result, there is a much higher chance of not having a connection later in the relationship. After hearing this it made perfect sense to me and I still use this philosophy today.
