Cruising

my highs spirited kindergarteners. I feel heartbroken by not seeing all my children every week anymore, but it was a much needed break. Fortunately, I can take this time to travel and go adventures with my closest friends every once and while. Cruising along Hollywood Boulevard, I encounter many colorful and eccentric people and sights. Tourists push past in a hurry to take pictures of literally everything, people in costumes beg you for a picture and cash, and small dogs dressed up are being…

all started when I was fifteen and had just gotten my drivers license. My mom bought me my dream car at the time, a white Volkswagen bug. I was on cloud nine and thought nothing could ruin it. Then I took some of my friends out for a drive and was cruising around and got stuck behind an extremely slow car. Me being an impatient new driver decided I would speed up and pass them and show my friends how cool I really was. Well it so happened that there was a double yellow line where I passed and a…

Everyone has fantasized about acquiring a massive amount of money. However, not many people realize the consequences to having this much money. After surrounding oneself with many expensive material items, the thrill will slowly sap away, until the joy is simply gone.

I am a gamer, and I have…

Try and remember the last time you were in a store. There’s always a string of the weeks “top 40” songs, early 2000s boy band ballads, and 1980s one-hit wonders continuously playing over the speakers to amuse you while you shop. It’s difficult to pinpoint any time where you were not serenaded by the radio while you were out running errands. All of this is thanks to the invention of broadcast radio. Broadcast radio was by far one of the most important and revolutionary inventions, paving the way…

third class passengers you experienced as very different entrance. The less fortunate immigrants traveled in very insanitary conditions near the bottom of the ships with few amenities and often spending up to two weeks seasick in their bunks while cruising the rough Atlantic Ocean. Upon entrance in New York City, ships would dock at the Hudson or East River ports.

Media plays a significant role in our daily lives in which it often provides representations or messages of our society based on race, class, and gender. With this assignment, I chose to analyze the commercial ads inhibited during Superbowl 51. One in particular that stood out was a luxurious convertible commercial ad by Alfa Romero.Furthermore, it was easy for me to depict the messages that were reflected or projected within these commercials that simply portrayed stratification. Although there…

First me and my son Landon met up with my boyfriend Robert at a mud hole. We all piled into his jeep and started cruising up the slippery, red mud hill. It was raining off and on for the past eleven days, so the mud very very mushy. Once we made it up the steep hill there was…

A pre smartphone world would be a tough one to live in for this generation. There isn’t really much thought put into how much our phones have and continue to aid in everyday life.
