Grumpy Cat who Loves Christmas

Creative Process: I immediately thought of christmas lights when I saw the LED, but didn't want to be too basic with a Christmas tree, so I opted for cat! 

I decided to add a little text that says "Press me <3" at where the battery is located for more user interaction! I was happy that it just so happens that it only lights up if you press that spot. 

Also side note, when I was trying to pump the blue paint at fimble, it exploded on my face and my sweater ;D, but all is well because the paint is water based! Note for self, if it seems like it's hard to pump, maybe don't! 

Reflection: 

Yes, I have turned away many opportunities thinking back, and it was mainly because I had an intense fear of rejection. I can be very confident and initiate in areas where I feel very comfortable with, which means my areas of strength. However, my main area of weakness lies within job hunting, from sophomore year to now, I have said no to myself before others could say no to me countless times. I believed that I was not employable. I didn't think I could become employable.  

Now I am in this dire position where I have no plan b, I will have to embrace the "let them tell you know" mentality. This is one of my biggest goals for this year, which is to give it all I got and let other people reject me. I only need 1 job.  I definitely did not have strong self-efficacy then. 

If I could time travel back, I would tell myself to actually believe that I could do anything I wanted to, and this includes being better at handling rejection, and developing employable skills/qualities. I would tell myself to not think of this problem as too complex to deal with and I would comfort myself in knowing that rejection should not be taken as a rejection of you as a person, but simply a misfit/mismatch.
