The end is near!!!

In this blog I would like to talk about the END OF THE SEMESTER. I need to let off some stress about how I am dealing with the semester and I couldn't think of a better way then my blog! I am so excited for summer, the sun, the time to myself, the not having to worry about homework and test, the tans, the food, family, fun, swimming, sleep and the friends. The list goes on and on and it is very hard to conceal my excitement. It is so hard that I find myself not going to class and now I am truly stressed with finals right around the corner. I can't believe that I am going to be done with my first year of college. It is so important to me to be apart of the college lifestyle. My family has always been my support system and there is nothing more that I want then to make them proud. I need to buckle down and push through this last week just like the rest of you. This is not only a rant but it is an encouragement for all for my college readers no matter where you are. You are almost done, and you have worked so hard to stop right now. Keep reading, and writing, get smarter and do better, not only for yourself but for all those who believe in you. Remember to always believe in yourself. This semester is almost over and than we can party. So don't stress my friend, we are almost there and we can do. If no one else believes in us at least we believe in ourselves. I know that I am working as hard as I possibly can to provide for myself and to be able to say that I accomplished something. That I worked hard to better myself and the person that I am. I am doing all this hard work and stressing to become the best person that I want to be! You can too. Peace love and happiness and good luck to us as we continue to work towards our dreams 

Entry #5 Media Snythesize: Media and how I perceive it.

Considering that i never really thought of  media as such a powerful thing until we began talking about it in my English class, I now notice so many things in the media that I have never noticed before. Media is so powerful that it make make you hungry when you just ate. It can make you want to buy a product just to be able to sleep better when you already sleep perfectly, or as a female it can make you laugh at how some companies portray how well tampons will hold when you are doing crazy things like flips and stuff. Not only do I find that media is annoying but also funny I find that we pay so much attention to it that we don't even notice. We do not realize that the tevelvison shows that we watch are apart of the media. We don't see that our fashion comes from the types of shows that we watch. We are so close to media that we fail to see it as something that can potentially be threatening to us. In my life all I see are the tv commercials, that either make me really hungry or really happy, or even truly sad. I find myself getting sucked into tricks on the screen that make me so hungry I don't even understand how they can possibly do that from a screen. I notived that in my family the media makes people try to be perfect. My little cousin has to always look amazing, she has to look like the girls on the screen, just as skinny as them and have the same style as them. I want so much for her to be her own person but she doesn't understand that her life revolves around being as perfect as the media wants her to be. The media has also worked some good in my family. Though the shows such as diners, dive-ins and dives and man vs. food is suppose to get people to go to these places, it has made my family really think about how we eat and how much we eat, and how food shouldn't be the driving factor in our life to go out of state. We began eating healthy and taking meat out of our diet and we are learning that food isn't as important as we or the media make it to be.  The media shouldn't be as powerful as we make it. We should be making the media what it is. We should have what is going to be good for us and our kids and the community in the media. We need to create a world were we are less interested in the media and what they have to say and more concerned with our life and families and living a better life. Peace, love and happiness bloggers. :)

A personal love.

THE LOVE THAT YOUNG KIDS LIKE MYSELF GO THROUGH IS SOMETIMES TRIVIAL AND THEY BREAK UP AND GET BACK TOGETHER AND IT LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. IN THIS POST I WANT TO TALK ABOUT MY LOVE. I HAVE THE BEST GUY EVER. WE WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL TOGETHER BUT WE WEREN'T FRIENDS. WE NEVER TALKED AND WE DIDN'T HAVE THE SAME GROUP OF FRIENDS. OVER THIS PAST SUMMER WE HAD A MUTUAL FRIEND AND WE JUST GREW CLOSE. WE ARE NOW IN OUR SIXTH MONTH AND ITS SO GREAT. I KNOW THIS MIGHT BE A LITTLE TO PERSONAL FOR BLOGS BUT I AM SO HAPPY AND ITS A HARD THINK T NOT TALK ABOUT ON A THINK LIKE THIS. THE HAPPINESS THAT I GET FROM HIM IS ONE THAT I HAVEN'T HAD SINCE I WAS A KID. I HAD THE TYPE OF LIFE THAT WAS ONE WHERE I GREW UP VERY QUICKLY. MY MOM HAD STAGE 3 COLON CANCER AND MY DAD HAD HEART DISEASE SO I ALWAYS HAD TO BE A BIGGER GIRL THAN I WAS. WHEN I MET ANDREW HE MADE ME FEEL LIKE I COULD BE HAPPY AGAIN KNOWING THAT I HAVE EVERYONE THAT I LOVE, LOVING ME. I AM HAPPY AND I KNOW THAT HE IS AND WE HAVE EACH OTHER. SO THAT IS MY LOVE RANT. HE IS VERY SPECIAL TO ME AND I CAN'T GO A DAY WITHOUT SEEING HIM. 

Entry #4 Capitalism Rhetoric: A Love Story??

Michael Moore's movie, Capitalism: A love story was far from a love story. Now to normal people a love story is happy, they fall in love they fall out of love but in the end the guy gets the girl. But in this love story it is about our country. We have such an utter love for our country that we tend to look over the big problems that we have until the important elections. This film truly made me think that maybe I should pay more attention to who I vote for. This is truly not how I view that day of class would be. This film made me angry because it terrible that we live in a world where it is okay to treat people the way some of these corporations do. Why is that we have people who have no money and can't pay for a house and others that have to much money that they could never spend in ten lifetimes. This film is one that I think more people should watch because the audience in this film is truly everyone. Everyone should know what our government does and what large corporations do to us, US as a whole country. I feel so connected to this movie because my family had to move out of our house to another and because of the bank. It was so sad, that was were I grew up my whole life, and all my memories were there. It was hard but I now know that it is what we basically had to do! We had no choice, we now live in a house that is perfect for us and now I don't see it as a bad thing but I think I was so mad and this movie just hit home so hard. It made me so mad that humans can treat each other so horribly that they can just out a whole family out on the street, only to make more money! The film as a strong impact on me and I hope that it was on others as well. It was funny when it needed to be and serious when it had to be, I truly enjoyed it.
