"Cleaned up" Blankets

(Cover of Blankets by Craig Thompson)

Growing up in today’s society- well any society we face tons of issues. Whether these issues have to do with questioning meaning, sexual experiences, questions surrounding ones faith and many more issues. The book Blankets by Craig Thompson really captures a first hand story of a teenager going through these issues. The author Craig Thompson did a stunning job explaining and capturing these experiences. As I was first assigned to read a graphic novel I was just floored, how are we college students reading a comic book is what I thought originally. However I was just shocked and moved by the storyline.

"Updated" Playlist

(Same Love by Macklomore)

Music is my life and passion. Music is in my eyes the soul of the story behind you the person. Your life- happy verse sad, depressed, excited, and etc can be explained by the music you listen to, the music you avoid and the songs you play on repeat.

While watching the movie The Incredibles for the first time ever, I was really moved by the plot. 

College-Fried Chicken

(Final Product)

    As college students, we are pretty adaptive. When you think about it, we’ve had to shift a lot of our habits that we used to have now that we don't have the luxuries of home. One of those luxuries, is a home-cooked meal.

Stole Stevie-Who?

Oh no Stevie got kidnapped, was it the WarHawks of UW-Whitewater? My crew of private eye detectives Anthony Rottier, Jack Fernre, Clarissa Evans, and Lukas Endmann went out to find Stevie. We were in a hurry to make sure Stevie our beloved mascot.

Soulful Night 

The 22nd Annual Soul Food Dinner took place February 22nd here on the campus of UWSP. As a member of BSU, the Black Student Union on campus and a sister of Sigma Delta Rho sorority I was required to not just attend the event but to help cook for over 500 indivduals. It turned out to be such an enjoyable night.

"If You're Reading This It's Too Late" -Clarissa

(Cash Money/Young Money Records)

        Rappers and the rap industry go through phase of "hot" and "popular" to "dead an gone". I was shocked to read that despite the fate of failure for many rap industry dynasties Cash Money/Young Money Records had escaped that faith. I religiously listen to artist part of the Cash Money/Young Money Records and was shocked to hear that the label is said to be splitting.

WATCH FLIM HERE!

Tonight I watched the documentary Disconnected, the documentary provided with a great deal of understanding of what it is like for a student to give up their computers back in 2007. During a film documentary class the students all agreed to give up the use of their laptops or another computers. As I noticed before watching the documentary I knew that the film was older and didn’t expect the reaction the students provided for.  Growing up technology has planned a major role in my social life, as well as my educational experience.

Cutting ties

Our worlds have greatly been impacted by the use of social media and various technology forms- indirect communications. Today I decided to reflect on the question, is it acceptable to break up with someone via a text message or any other forms of indirect communication? To most without hesitation they would say “no”, and I would have to agree.  

"My Life, My Playlist"

Music is the life and passion for me- including myself. Your iPod in my eyes is the soul of the story behind you the person. Your life- happy verse sad, depressed, excited, and etc your Ipod most likely has a song in which fits your mood.
