For the second semester, I had design. At first, I thought it was going to be designing random things and was going to be a dull, boring subject. However, I was completely wrong, because design was a fun and interesting subject. Since we were making cardboard arcade games, the the creating part was the best, because we got to turn our thoughts and ideas into reality. While we created things and had fun, we had gained so much information during the process. For example, I had learned how to use my time more wisely, plan things out better, and think out of the box. Never in my life did I think I had the ability to create such complicated mechanisms and such detailed games… out of cardboard and glue, yet I somehow did. I was so excited for every design class. In my opinion this is the most interesting and joyful subject I’ve had so far. If I were to do this subject again, I would improve on my hot glueing skills, and make my mechanism more durable. My hot glueing skills made my prototype look like a five year old did the glueing skills. Also, my mechanism started breaking down near the end of the semester. The rubber bands were getting loose, and it was losing power. However, it managed to last through the entire semester. Overall, design is a very educational but interesting and joyful subject that everyone  should try.
