Blogging First Year Composition

It is now the end of the semester and this blog is almost done. I hope that everyone has read and enjoyed one article at least. Blogging is a fun experience that has a lot of variance as you go from one to another. I personally like to write my blogs with a tone of levity and include entertaining pictures to help keep the read from becoming monotonous; others enjoy being much more direct and serious or have humor as a centerpiece.

Also features a lack of studying, repeated absences, and a generally dismissive attitude. The only known cure is a phenomenon known as graduation". Like Urban Dictionary says, it is serious. A single semester can ruin a GPA in high school, and Seniori

After the media discussion that was conducted in class it has become easy to see the effect it has on the world around us. Driving down the street a person is assaulted by media of every type: billboards, T-shirts, signs, other vehicles, the stickers on those other vehicles, and so many others. It is abhorrent how much media is found by going a block down the street. It seems that if you were deaf and blind you would still know that Nike is the premier shoe brand. Media is everywhere and influences every aspect of life. I drive daily to school with the radio on, dropping of my two siblings at their school and continue on my way. The day after the social media discussion I paid attention to the ads that were harassing me in their frequency from all around. My younger brother, for example, was decked out in his favorite pair of Nike slides and socks with his Under Armor sweatshirt and hat that flashed his support for the Colorado Rockies.
