Each morning we wake up to a future that is about to happen but yet is out of reach by default, unpredictable by nature. Are we ever ready for what’s ahead? We try to keep up but are clumsy at best in being present with all that comes our way. A while back we buried a friend. He had been sick, but his death came sooner than expected.

Blacking in and out, confusion and fear filled my mind as I slowly woke up lying on my back between my four-wheeler and the cold ground. I was numb; my mind was racing “what just happened?” All in the matter of seconds. I hear a faint yelling of some sort as I close my eyes again. “Kylie!” I open my eyes; everyone around me was moving the four-wheeler from off top of me, and my step dad and his friend trying to wake me up.

given about society, gender, ethnicity and many other social themes. I also wanted to watch a variety of different genres to determine if they would deliver different messages about society. Within the sixty minutes, I watched segments from Keeping Up With the Kardashians, CNN, a Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Bra infomercial, Say Yes to the Dress, Friends, and the University of Florida vs. University of Georgia football game. As shown in the statistics I referenced earlier, it is safe to say…

Because everything that happens is misunderstood or interpreted incorrectly, most of the characters end up over-reacting or behaving rashly, causing even more problems than there were in the first place.

This Fall Semester of 2016 has served as the first page to my experience at Pacific Lutheran University. Coming into the school year, I felt I had a lot going for me. I graduated with my Associates Degree at Pierce College and was fortunate enough to have a supportive family, and quality friends.

I felt like when I was exploring my path I lucked out and stumbled upon Psychology and Sociology.…
