Entry #11 - Final Thoughts

Image
Hey guys! This saddens me to say, but this is my final post. I have had so much fun ranting, explaining, and expressing about anything and everything that exists. I have been stressing about what to talk about and hoped that the topics that were discussed were enjoyable and maybe somewhat relevant to your life. This blog I took very seriously, not only was my professor grading this, but I had an audience. I had you grading and judging this blog by what is posted. I wanted to relate to my audience as much as possible. Knowing what I share could affect someone reading or give ideas to help with something as simple as a Christmas gift. I loved blogging. I got to express opinions, and ideas to the public with little to no shame at all! Unfortunately, I don't believe blogging is my "thing". I enjoyed it, but it wasn't who I am. I don't write for fun and I definitely don't blog for fun. I definitely learned a lot from this blogging experience. I learned how to...

Entry #10 - Holiday Spirit

Image
Hey everyone! I wanted to get you all pumped for the holiday season, so today I will be talking all things Christmas and New Years. I am personally so hype and excited this year. I couldn't tell you exactly why I am pumped for the season, but I am. I get to buy gifts for my family and score on awesome deals on almost everything!! The only sucky part is usually what you want they didn't discount so you're stuck paying full price. But that is beside the point of giving!!!! WOOHOO! Christmas is a beautiful holiday where family and friends come together and exchange gifts and surprise kids with amazing toys! Although it can become very expensive, if money isn't spent wisely. There are so many toys out there on the market for all ages.

Entry #9 - Slanting the Media

Image
Hey everyone! I know I can speak for myself, life is crazy busy! Just got promoted at work so thats causing my hours to have to be more prioritized. It's crazy busy because everyone is shopping out the store. My bank account is going down the toilet because I'm having to pay for my family's Christmas gifts. Then my anxiety is through the roof because of my English course. But, I am happy to write to you guys on here and let it all out. Speaking of my English 102 class, recently we have been on the subject of medium, or media (for plural). Its more on what power does it or can is possess? Is it strong, weak, or descriptive? Can it change your mind or just inform? And do you even realize that you're being persuaded something? In a few articles and informative writing pieces I have found, I saw myself getting persuaded. Either that or I started to persuade myself. I can't help but to think of all the tweets recently put on Twitter by the President of United States...

Entry #8 - Black Thursday?

Image
Hey guys! I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season. I know my bank account is definitely going to be at 0 here real soon and real quick. I have a few gifts for my family and I am making a gift for my boyfriend, so hopefully I am on the right track to get everyone an awesome gift. The only person I am having a hard time shopping for is my second oldest sister. She is one of the pickiest people I know, so I will have fun with that. Enough about me, it is not even Thanksgiving and I am already stressing about Christmas. Is the holiday season coming too early???? I was hearing Christmas music before Thanksgiving, and I was thinking that it is way too early. I work at a mall. I am not going to tell you which mall for privacy reasons, but this mall put up Christmas decorations BEFORE Halloween. Like I personally believe that that is ridiculous! These businesses are moving too quickly into the holiday seasons.  Black Friday is one of the best examples of this. Black Friday...

Entry #7 - #Hashtag

Image
Hey everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I know for myself I had to cut mine short due to working, and the people destroyed the store. It was an awful way to end the night or I should say morning because I was there until 4 a.m. on Friday. I did make a butt load of money so #blessed. Yikes, the hashtag... Should it still be around? Or even where did it come from and why is it still popular???? The first time I personally saw a hashtag sign was on the phone. It is actually called a pound sign or so I have been told. I would always call the gift card numbers to see how much was on the card and the robot voice would state, "Please enter the three digit security code located on the back of the card followed by the pound sign." Never was it used for other reasons until now. It has made it's way all around social media and even used to bring about situations. What I mean when I say situations, I mean raising awareness of medical conditions or social matter, ...

Entry #6 - Exercising

Image
Hey guys! I hope everyone is doing well, maybe even getting some better sleep (wink wink). I certainly haven't been getting better sleep, but that's also because my job is asking me to stay until 3:30 a.m. I certainly don't hate them for making me stay, I am getting paid well, but not enough to be doing that!! Other than not going to bed on time, I have tried to do other items that I had suggested on my "tiredness" blog, exercise. I had recently gotten a gym membership to try to be more active since I am no longer in school related sports. I had noticed my eating habits were getting bad, and that I started to feel very sluggish and had no motivation to get up early, or even at all. It started to wear me out and I wasn't even doing anything... Why workout??? Not only does it improve your health by staying fit, it allows your body to rid of all the unwanted toxins inside the body. Usually from what you eat and drink. Other cases of unwanted toxins can be what ...

Entry #5 - Excuse Me?

Image
Hey guys! I hope everyone is doing well. Today I wanted to talk to everyone about this post that I saw on AZCentral. If you don't know what that is it is a news report website that talks about daily news in Arizona. I know most of you might not be in college or even care about school, but just seeing the title I started to get upset. AZCentral  - So as you can see I put the link on here to go to the article where Doug Ducey, Arizona's governor, is talking about how more students in Arizona need to graduate from college. UM WHAT???? Clearly he is talking to majority of the students in high school and in college right now saying graduate! because it will be beneficial to you, in theory yes it can but will it? In reality it will only help the government.  What are you trying to say not enough of us are trying? I am sorry that the education system is messed up to where teachers are getting so little pay and so they don't care... College is a free for all (not actually free) ...
