Blog 70.!! The last blog

I have finally made it to my final blog of the semester! When my teacher told us 70 blogs before the semester is over with many of my classmates blew it off & procrastinated thinking that it would not be such a big deal. Little did they know that the end of the semester approached very fast making some people panic to try to get to number 70 by tomorrow. I actually appreciate that our teacher showed us how to set up a blog because it is basically informal writing to get your thoughts and opinions out, and also allow others to comment on your post. The blogs allow me to express my mind and talk about different issues any way I would like. With the blogs there is not a limit, you can talk about whatever you want and for however long you want. You are the author, so whatever you chose to put on your page is up to you. I can talk about anything without being questioned about it because this is my blog. I hope next semester my English teacher allow us to blog because I would like to keep in touch with my old classmates, and also talk about interesting topics to get other`s opinions.

Young Celebrities

As I watch headline news, I become so amazed at the young teen stars today. First it was Lindsay Lohan who has been sent to jail and rehab for her uncontrollable actions toward drug and alcohol abuse. It is so sad to see young teens who many children grown up watching on television disappoint them by doing stupid stuff. From the world`s point of view Lindsay has it all. The fame, the money, the looks, the everything, but she decides to not use her head wisely, and therefore engage in some illegal activities.

The next teen star who is in the new is Miley Cyrus also known as Hannah Montana. When I saw on the news that a video was leaked of her smoking something from a bong it really did not surprise me at all, because there were other rumors claiming she took nude pics and they were leaked on the Internet. I honestly think Miley may have leaked the video herself, because if you are surrounded by friends then they should not leak a video that could possibly ruin your career. Real friends just wouldn`t do it. If I had a celebrity friend I would not go around posting bad photos or videos. I really hope Miley gets herself together even though they said it was not harmful drugs in the bong, but the principle of the matter is if you have a lot of young fans looking up to you then you should not make yourself look negative in any kind of way.

College vs. High School

Today I had to take 2 final exams. One in Finite Mathematics, and the other one in Biology. As a result I am so tired, but I have to have 70 blogs, a final exam paper, and an online final done by tomorrow before 10:30 a.m. College life seems stressful, but it actually is better than high school. In college you take less classes which allows you the opportunity to have more time to study. College also allows you to set a schedule for classes that are convenient for you. In high school you have a specific everyday schedules that has to be followed, and you sit in a classroom for 8 hours a day. This is very tiresome compared to college. The average college class lasts from 1hr & 15 minutes to 2 hrs. When it comes to tests, college tests may be more challenging IF YOU DO NOT STUDY. When I first took a college exam I was shocked because I was expecting a hard test. The key is studying, and if you are determined to pass then you will buckle down to prepare yourself to make excellent grades.

Cam Newton wins the Heisman

Saturday night when they announced Cam had won the Heisman award I was not shocked at all. Why? Because one he is the best player in college football & two he deserves it. I am an Alabama fan, but I recently started to like Cam. About a couple of months ago Cam developed this cocky attitude saying he can`t be stopped and all that which made me dislike him. Even though that is true for now I felt like he should have humbled himself, and kept it professional. It was sad that his father was not able to attend the award because of the "pay for play" scheme his father tried to negotiate. I feel as if he dad should have at least been able to attend the award ceremony because he was banned to attend the SEC championship game when Auburn played South Carolina. Auburn has a bright future in January when they play Oregon for the National Championship. If Auburn wins the National Championship then that will mean two schools from the state of Alabama has won the SEC championship, has had 2 Heisman winners, and has won the National Championship two years straight. I will NEVER root "war eagle", but I will say I hope the best for the team. 

Final Exams

As the semester nears its end there are some good and bad things that comes along with it. The good thing is that there will be no more school for almost a month. The bad thing is F I N A L E X A M S. Yes! Final exams. Some dread finals others do not because they were the ones who at in the classroom the whole semester and retained all the information, whether it was boring or interesting. That means that they would know what the final would consist of from beginning to end. As I am doing this blog post I should be studying for one of my finals tomorrow. It seems like I have so much to do in so little time. I have 3 finals coming up, 1 online final, and 2 papers to prepare for before December 14, 2010. It seems like a lot and that I will be stressed, but I know if I put my mind to it, stay organized, and keep track of what I have done and what needs to be done, then I will accomplish all the work before the semester is over with.!

Snuggie

As I sit in my room on this cold fall night, I realize that I am missing something that is very close to me. No, it is not a person, it is my snuggie! I decided to get up to look for it, and i found it at the top of my closet. My parents and I sat around and discussed the weather and the fact that it is not even winter yet, and I already feel the cold effects. Just yesterday I went to class and I likely froze. I had on a big jacket, gloves, long pants, and earmuffs but I still was cold. I am so thankful that I am in college and not high school because some of the kids would have to wait at the cold bus stop in the morning. Even though I had my own car and was driving to school while I was in high school, I would still see some of my classmates outside fighting the cold weather with big jackets and hats on. Once winter hits I know that we will starting a fire a lot especially now since we have a gas fireplace instead of having to haul wood like we did when we was at our other house.

World Aids Day

Every year on December 1 many music channels such as BET and MTV set aside a special day to talk about different topics surrounding HIV and AIDS, and all the many myths that surround it. Yesterday they talked about many ways you can receive the virus and many ways people THINK you can receive the virus. Many myths include: you can receive the virus from tears, if you kiss an infected person, if you hug an infected person, if you drink behind the same glass, if you eat behind a person who is infected, if someone sneezes or cough on you then you will get infected. ALL OF THESE MYTHS ARE NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!! The most common ways you can receive the virus is through: vaginal fluid, semen, breast milk, contaminated needles, blood, slob (2 gallons), and the most common way is UNSAFE SEX!!!!!!!!! The doctor that appeared on 106 & Park on BET yesterday made a good point when it comes to AIDS she said, "If you are pretty, ugly, skinny, big, male, female, heterosexual, homosexual, Caucasian, African American, Mexican, Latino etc U CAN RECEIVE THE VIRUS." This can be true because someone can have the disease, but you will never be able to tell unless they tell you. AIDS or HIV is very serious, but if you are infected you can prolong your life by taking proper care of yourself and the one`s you come in contact with.
