You're Gonna Miss This- Trade Adkins

May 7th, 2017
As the end of our sophomore year approaches us, we are soon going to enter our junior year. During our junior year, it is time to get more serious about what we want to do after high school. It's the time where we decide on narrowing down what colleges we want to go to or what careers we are interested in. Trace Adkins repeatedly says how we are going to miss this. He talks about how his daughter is growing up too fast and she should slow down because before she knows it, she is going to miss the life she had. It's crazy to think that just a few years ago, we were all in 6th grade. And now in two years, we are going to be starting our lives after we walk the stage for graduation. Just like the song says, "You're gonna miss this, you're gonna want this back, you're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast..." High school is a short time in our life and it is also seen as the best time or our lives, but it is already almost half ways over. Every time I hear this song, it gives me a chance to reflect on my life and how appreciative I am for everyone in it and everything that has happened in it. I have grown up listening to this song and it always remind me of my mom because when I was younger, she would always "dedicate" this song to me. It feels just like yesterday when she first started saying that, but it was really 10 years ago when she said this to me and when she said it to my brother for his graduation. Time flies, it isn't a race to grow up, and we should all slow down before our life goes right before us.

    I completely agree with you, the beginning of this post brought back my own stress of what the next two years hold and all the responsibilities and choices are going to be thrown at us. But then that stress I have about the future, only takes time away from the present, which we should all be focusing on but it can be tough. But despite everything we need to deal with, we have to slow down to enjoy our time in high school.

Is Online Dating More Beneficial?

Image
May 12th, 2017 Within the past few years, online dating has become more of the norm in our society. A few years ago when sites like Tinder were first being introduced, they were very out of the ordinary and a lot of people were very skeptical of them. However, as our society continues to advance with social media and other technological advances, it's not as out of the ordinary as it used to be and in fact it is actually pretty common to online date. But I have always wondered, does online dating really work? Is it really more beneficial to make a profile about yourself in hopes that someone clicks on it and find you with taking the chances that this person could not be real? According to The Telegraph UK , the whole concept of online dating, is more likely to last than "regular dating." The simple fact is that people like online dating because it gives them a chance to be who they want to be behind a computer or phone screen. They don't have to hold back who they ...

My current realtionship with media

Image
April 24th, 2017 I would be lying if I said that I spend very little time on social media. It really has impacted my life to where when I wake up, I go on it, before I go to bed, I'm on it, and at any other time throughout the day, I am usually on it. I use Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter the most out of every social media website. They allow me to keep in touch with my friends and see what they are doing and for them to see what I am doing. I would say that because I spend so much time on it, in a way it has helped me become even closer with my friends. Social media makes it a lot easier for me to talk to my friends everyday when I am not at school, when they aren't at school, and just outside of school in general. I am able to talk to them a lot more at school because a lot of the people I don't see everyday because I don't have classes with every one of my friends. It has even allowed me to make new friends that usually go to our school. If it wasn't ...

reflection

June 11th, 2017 Writing up these media blogs, have really made me reflect on the way I see and use media. I still continue to use the same amount of media but now I am completely aware of it. I spend a lot of my day on media, specifically social media websites like Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. Because I use media so much throughout my day, it makes me a lot more aware of what advertisers do to our minds. Recently on Snapchat, advertisers have put more ads on this social media app. Before, there were absolutely no ads but as I watch someone's story on it, ads for other apps begin to pop up. When I'm scrolling through my feed on Instagram, I notice how sneaky advertisers are. They put normal pictures on my feed that makes it look like I am following this person which causes me to actually like the photo and unknowingly read the description about this product. Also, on YouTube, there's almost an ad for a product before every video I watch. I never realized how ...
