Blogging

Coming into the class I didn’t know much about blogging. All I knew is that many people enjoyed doing it and some were even famous for it. At first I had no idea what to write in a blog or how to start it, but as time passed by I developed some new skills. Everything just started flowing and blogging was becoming easier very week. Many of the topics that were assigned were interesting which made the blogging much easier. Another thing that was great about blogging was reading other blogs and learning different things about others. Every time I sit down to read a few blogs I would learn something new. I tried to make my blogs interesting and fun so the people who would read them would enjoy them. I loved getting positive feedback from my classmates. It would motivate me to keep writing every week. Knowing someone actually took the time to read my blogs was the best part. I really learned a lot about blogging in this class and in the future I might continue doing it. It is a great way to express how you feel and others can give you feedback and let you know what they think. I think blogging also helped my writing skills and know writing short or long blogs is much easier.

 

A Great Memory

I've had many memories, but the time I went camping with my family is memory I'll never forget. I remember it like it as yesterday. It was mid July 2 years ago. My dad came home from work and told us the news about camping. He told us him and my uncles had planned a little vacation. I was very excited about it and I couldn't wait. We were going to go to lake casitas on Friday and we were coming back Saturday afternoon. He also told us we were going to go with my uncle Fran and Jesus and their family. That made me even happier because I love spending time with my cousins. Finally the day arrived and we were on our way to Lake Casitas. We took some meat and chicken to barbeque it. Once we got there we went to our camping site and started cooking then meat. After that we played games like soccer, kickball, and even UNO cards. The day was going great and I was very happy to be with my family. The day was ending and we were all getting tired so we decided to sit around in a circle and tell funny and scary stories. The day was over and we were all exhausted, so we fell asleep very fast. The morning came and my parents made some sandwiches for us to eat for breakfast. The trip was sadly over, but I was happy to go home. Camping with my family made me realize how close we are and how much they care about me.

iphone 5

Our technology has advance so much that there is always new cell phones coming out. One of the best new cell phones is the iphone 5. I purchased my iphone 5 about a month ago and I really like it. The iphone 5 is very similar to the iphone 4 and 4s. One of the major diffrenecs is the screen size. The iphone 5 is .5 more inches bigger than the iphone 5. The iphone 5 is carried by AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint.  The iphone 5 has many features that make it unique. The phone comes with very helpful apps like mail, youtube, maps, safari, and music. If those aren’t enough apps there is an app store. The app store is one of the best features the iphone 5 has. With the app store people can buy or get free apps which make the phone more entertaining. The iphone 5 also includes FaceTime which allows two people communicate face to face with one another. Another great feature is imessage. With imassage, iphone 5 users can send text messages to itouchs and ipads without any extra cost. The iphone 5 also has a great camera, it has 8 megapixels. Another great new thing about the iphone 5 is how light it is. It is always convenient not to have a heavy phone in your pocket or your purse. The iphone 5 is also great if you like social networks. Twitter and Facebook are integrated into the iphone 5 which makes everything much easier. I personally really recommend the iphone 5. There is a lot of different things that you can do with it. Whenever you are bored you can play free games or check your social networks. If you need help with anything you can easily use Google to try to solve the problem or use the maps app to find directions. Overall it is a very helpful and entertaining phone.

FFN

Reading Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser was a great learning experience. There were many things I wasn’t aware of. Before reading the book all I knew was that hamburgers where good and that is about it. I didn’t know how the fast food industry worked. I learned about how they advertise which I found really interesting. I also learned about different industries that are affected by the fast food industry. What surprised me the most where the slaughterhouses. I never knew that they were so dangerous. I personality love fast food but I try not to eat it a lot. After reading the book I will probably eat a little less fast food for a couple of weeks but then forget about what I learned. I have to think twice because what scared me the most is the diseases that animals have. I found chapter 9 very interesting and also very scary. That was the chapter that made me think twice about what I consume. The e-coli bacteria is something I never want to come near. Before this book I never really knew anything about fast food and now I do. I am more informed about the industry. I will always love junk food and I don’t think I am going to change but it is very good that at least now I know more about the meat and where it comes from.

My Soccer Team

My Oxnard College soccer teams means a lot to me. I am currently playing my second and last year for Oxnard College and it makes me really sad. I love going out everyday to the beautiful soccer fields Oxnard College has. Going out every day and playing really keeps me relaxed because I have fun every day. I love my teammates because they are always there for me. They are like my second family. I hang out with my soccer teammates more than any of my other friends. We like to have sleepovers and movie nights and we just talk about soccer for hours. I'm glad I joined the Oxnard College soccer team because of the people I met and because how fun it is.

Change

Peer pressure really gets to kids when they go to school. They see that some kids are wearing a certain type of brand or certain style of cloth and they also want to be cool like them. When I was in Juniors High I thought that Hollister was the best store in the world. I only thought that because so many people were wearing it in my school. It was so expensive but I didn't care because I wanted to be like everyone else. A simple t shirt was about 20 dollars when I could have gotten a similar shirt at another store for half the price. I was pretty much paying extra money to have my shirt say Hollister on it. I wasn’t really paying because at the time I was young and wasn't working. Every Sunday my dad would give us an allowance of 10 dollars and I would save it and at the end of the month I would go shopping. Not only would I spend my allowance money but once we were at the store I would beg my parents to buy my more cloth. All of my friends would buy that brand and I wasn't going to be the only one who didn't wear that. Now I look back and think it was all very immature. I was just following the crowd not thinking about how expensive it really was. Now I know the value of money and think twice about buying cloth that expensive. I know how hard it is to earn money and I'll rather spend it on something more useful. I still love to go shopping but now I think twice about buying something really expensive. I usually go shopping at Forever 21 now where the cloth is much cheaper than Hollister. I probably haven't bought anything from college since I started high school and I'm very proud of myself.
