hours, my young self quickly grew bored, and the marathon went from interesting to tedious. Later in the afternoon, I was ready to go home and rest. And then I saw it. As we were cleaning up, a person strolled by with a cup that had the rainbow tornado of Jamba Juice. At that time, Jamba Juice had opened its first branch in San Francisco, and it quickly boomed, attracting people from all over the city. I myself had been enthralled by the promotional commercials on TV, so I asked my mom if I…

am sharing my life experiences. I have experienced many storms, Hurricane Nate, and Hurricane Irma. They were terrible, but IRMA was worse because we went out of power and many trees and twigs had fell during IRMA. When I was little there was a tornado that hit Putnam county, it was bad because a tree fell on our house and we had no power for 2 days. During these storms we were scared but we got thru them. Hurricane Harvey affected my parents allot because the gas prices had start to go up.…

Depending on where you live at, it can range from a tornado, to earthquake, to a volcano erupting, to a monsoon. You never know when life or mother nature can strike.

On October 30th, 2016 I attended Redeemer Lutheran church. I arrived there ten minutes early and picked a pew towards the back and started to take notes. The mass started around eight o’clock am and lasted approximately an hour. The service itself was similar to a Roman Catholic mass that I am use to. I was surprised that they were so similar because my thought process was since they are completely different religions than they must have completely different mass styles. Obviously after going I…

In our day-to-day life, we spend a large amount of our time on multiple social media platforms. Social media has fully integrated itself and has become an integral element in our everyday life. As we find ourselves having more free time, we spend it on social media, other technologies and activities. This is most commonly known as Cognitive Surplus, a concept that I will introduce later on in this essay, and analyze its relation to online promotional communication practices and social media. I…
