End of the Semester

In college, it always seems like every class has a test really close together. I have had weeks where I had two or three tests. I think that teachers need to take that into consideration and make their schedule a little different then everyone elses. This semester has been the hardest by far. Tomorrow I have a mock trial, group report, presentation, and a test!! I don't have time to prepare for everything especially since I'm working too. The end of semesters are always packed with assignments and tests. I will be so glad when December 11th comes (my last day of class). Sometimes I think that college professors think that if they give us hard assignments we will learn more. No, I don't think so! The harder the assignment, the more stressed out I become and I don't learn anymore then normal. Bottom line, I am so tired of college and I can't wait to graduate next fall!!!!

Advertising Gone Wild

Now days it seems like every where you go advertisements are being shoved in your face. There on billboards, commercials (obivously), radio, movies, Internet, and every where else. When there is not obvious advertising, there is usually hidden advertisements in movies and television shows. You can't avoid advertisements! They are in magazines and newspapers too. Whether you are driving down the road or at work, you are constantly being advertised to. It seems like everything is being sponsored now days, so brands are constantly being pushed in our faces. Little league sport teams are now being sponsored and they are required to where the brand on their uniforms. It is getting crazy! On the Internet, advertisements fill the pages and pop-ups are becoming more and more common (thank goodness for pop-up blockers)! Some web pages I can't even see well because they are so filled with advertisements. I think that advertising has become more intrusive and annoying. It makes me wonder what new ways companies are going to come up with to advertise its products/services.

Christmas Time is Coming

I love Christmas time!! It's my favorite time of the year but I think that stores place its Christmas items out too early. It seems like every year stores place its Christmas decorations out earlier and earlier. This year I noticed Christmas items out before Halloween. I don't like when they put out those items so early. It makes it seem like we can't fully enjoy the other holidays in between, like Halloween and Thanksgiving. I also think that it is silly for stores to put Christmas items out in October and put them on sale. It is not like you are getting a great deal of the items. The best time to get Christmas items is really close to December 25th or after. When I see Christmas decorations out in October, I feel like I am being rushed or something. I don't like it. I guess it seems like when Christmas time really gets here, it's not as special or neat to see all the Christmas decorations out because they have already been in stores since October and sometimes in September.

Halloween

Happy Halloween

I have always enjoyed Halloween. When I was little I loved getting dressed up and going trick-or-treating. As I got older, I loved being the one who hands out the candy. I am a festive person, so I dress up for Halloween and my dogs too! This is one of my dogs and she is wearing a frankenstein mask! She's so cute! My other dog only would wear a pumpkin bandana because he does not like dressing up. For the past couple of years, I have been dressing up for Halloween with my friends and going to parties. I am the only one who dresses conservativly. All of friends and I mean All use Halloween as an opportunity to dress trashy. Besides going to parties, I also love to hand out candy and see all the little kids dressed up in their cute costumes. This year, I seen a lot of cute lil' clowns, pigs, witches, and princesses. I just hate when you get those older kids that come knocking at the door two hours after you are done handed out candy. And some of them aren't even dressed up! I would like to not give them candy, but I can't be rude. Truthfully I'd rather be out trick-or-treating then going to parties! I want to be a little kid again with no worries or stress!
