My First semester of college has been harder then any schooling I've had up to this point and I'm honestly proud of my self for making it to this far .Ive always heard my teachers in high school say “college is a different game “, but I didnt really believe them until now .Although I'm not getting the best grades possible I am very proud that I'm still in it and not giving up. My college experience has been great so far and I've learned so much in such a short time. I learned things you can take with you forever beyond College all through life. Ive had to mature a lot in college theres so much freedom you have to control yourself. Your not going to always like your classes or professors but I've learned in college that you have to adjust your pace or you won't last. Its been alot of times where I've felt overwhelmed and  like I couldn't finish but I've been keeping myself motivated and keeping some positive friend. College is a place where you f...

  Michael Murray from Pagiba.com, in his review "So Chuck It on That One, offered a very positive review on the show Cops. First he said in the very first sentence "Any time I hear Bad boys by Inner  Girl   I immediately think of the iconic fox show Cops   " that lets me know that he really likes cops if he can here a famous song and automatically think of cops  .  Second he said "Now in its 22nd season,  Cops is a firmly embedded part of our cultural landscape"him saying things like firmly embedded adds a tone that says he like cops . Last he says "Upon the officers arrival, by standers in the parking lot become excited and begin to point and shout its the guy without shirt (Its almost  always the guy without a shirt.)" by him saying its alway the guy without a shirt lets me know thats hes seen similar episodes and that it being the guy with his shirt of happens a lot.      I agree with Michael Murrays positive review. I love c...

  Imagine it’s junior year and you’ve been waiting and wanting a little sibling your whole life and your mom tells you she’s pregnant. That was me my junior year I was very excited when I got the news I’ve always wanted a sibling . I never cared if it was a boy or girl I just wanted a sibling . Having a little siblings is harder then you think I thought it was all fun and games and laughs until I changed my firsts diaper. They are a hand full i've had zero siblings my whole life until I was seventeen so I didn’t know anything about kids or how to take care of them but I figured it out . Having a little brother is different it’s not the same with your parents or your house hold it all changes .I love my little brother his names Kameron hes three years old now. Having Kameron in my life has changed me for the better I strive everyday to be a better brother for him and to be a great example. I don’t know how he sees me yet but I know these stages are important. He sees me and my mom...

                Amanda Petrusich, in her article “The Lofty Optimism of Spotify and the influence of the Influence of the Streaming Revolution “ , argues that Spotify is growing as a business is bad . First she says “Of course, Spotify did not invent creation- nor the idea of making a living as an artist if anything, it’s merely complicated artistic existence “, she’s saying that its making it harder for artist in today’s time to get paid for their music .If the fans are streaming it from Spotify and not actually getting it from stores or a different outlet that pay the artist then they are making very little money because Spotify is essentially taking it .Second she says “Spotify has yet to foster a creative community in the same way”,she was referring to how SoundCloud has its own community of people and how they help each other out and Spotify doesn't do that. Finally she says’’The company is essentially insisting that freer and easi...

          Arlington Texas is a beautiful city its a very diverse place filled with good people its the only place where you can go see the Cowboys Stadium , the Rangers Stadium, Hurricane Harbor , and you can even go to Six Flags its all in the same general area. Most people in Arlington are nice but you do meet a few jerks but over all if you stay in Arlington you couldn't ask for a better place to call your home. There was always a lot of things to do it was really hard to be bored or at the house doing nothing . The only thing I can say thats bad in Arlington is law enforcement they are everywhere and I mean everywhere . They pull people over all the time day and night they even pull people over who are just walking on the sidewalks. I lived in Arlington when it was rough but it started to see brighter days all of the local teams are bringing in more money to the city and they also have little events that a lot of people pay to go to. Like this year we had ...
                                                                      Blog #2 Exam #2 was no surprise to me I studied for weeks in advance to make sure I did good and when we got the test pushed back it helped me even more. I didnt take those same steps of preparation for the first test but I learned my lesson and figured out that preperation is key. The vocab is what I studied the hardest for because it was 50% of our test grade and I knew it would be the hardest to get memorized. I made flash cards and studied the words, part of speech and definitions I never felt better prepared. During the test I went through the vocab fairly easy and felt good about my answers. As far as future exams I will most likely take the same approach flashcards are a very efficiant way of studying and its easier for me to get the im...
