Universal quantification

With social media and the internet being a big part of our lives as teenagers and young adults today, there’s no limit to all the possibilities and opportunities you can come across with just the click of a button. My cousin, Kayla, and I have watched and witnessed people on Youtube and Vine become movie stars, just from their supporters and fans never giving up on them. The internet can be a wonderful place for people to connect and help each other become successful, but it can also be a way to…

My wonderful teacher once asked “ What moment in your life made you really happy”. There is no definite answer, being able to wakeup everyday makes me happy. Stretching in my comfy bed makes me smile. Listening to the birds chirping, the sun beaming into my eyes. There are no words that can describe that happiness, its different than receiving a present or a brand new car. Getting up to brush my teeth, looking at the mirror seeing myself. Having the privilege to shower under warm water. Looking…

The Phenomenon that is Snapchat Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are known as the “Holy Trinity” of social media. However, there is a relatively new app that is being talked about and ranked highly among the masses. This app is called Snapchat. “In just a few seconds, [Snapchat] allows you to showcase your love for waffles or make your nostrils part of the Google logo. It’s magical.” (Simcik) Here’s how Snapchat works; you take a picture (there’s even a video option!), add a filter, maybe some…

Life’s Unfair (Sometimes the Earth is Cruel) There are times when so many bad things happen in the world at once, which makes everyone wonder how such horrifying things could possibly happen to such heartwarming people. There are events that occur all over the world every single day that make people question why life's so unfair. Pitt wrote about how there are times where it makes people feel as though bad things always have to happen to people who are most vulnerable. He explained in detail…

Hi Ms. Johnson! This is Anne. One fact about me is that I come from a family of seven. I have an older brother and sister whose names are Patrick, and Nica. My brother is 15, and my sister is 16. Yes, we are one year apart from each other. My mom, Rowena, is a science teacher, and my dad, Jess, works in the United Nations. The sixth member of my family is my dog. My dog actually has an interesting background. Her name's Peaches but we call her by her nickname which is, Poochie. She is Pomeranian…

I decided to make a comprehensive guide to my posts. This way anyone who reads my blog will have a quick reference to follow: The first step in self improvement is to accept that there is nothing broken or wrong with you. The next is to examine your life and see the big picture. Third would be planning your life around the truth (however, taking action is usually more important if you are just spinning your wheels), but before that you must accept certain things: Happiness is external (i.e.…

Justin started home when he noticed the mountain in the distance and felt the urge to visit once more. "After today, I am not going back up here," he promised riding across the field to the flat where he had left his bike on previous visits. Slipping and sliding he scurried up the steep mountainside while trying to be quiet. From time to time, he grabbed the bushes to keep from sliding backward. When he arrived at the mines, he moved the boards covering the entrance. He stepped inside, shined a…

Hallmark 's Cedar Cove will always hold a distinctive place in my heart for a variety of reasons, and I will admit that Teryl Rothery is one of them. I was introduced to this exquisite actress through that show, and I can still remember sitting there in my chair watching her portrayal of Grace. I so identified with her character, and once I began to research Teryl 's career, I was awestruck with her versatility and extensive range of her abilities that she has had the opportunity to demonstrate…

Although very unordinary, these clothes are designed this way for one main reason: to promote prestige and uniqueness. It would be fine if Pacsun’s goal for profit did not affect their consumers. However, along with their clothes, they sell the ideas and lifestyle of living without responsibilities and without restrictions, which will lead to prestige. These young consumers view themselves as self-made if they are able to afford expensive things and do whatever they want. The store uses this to…
