Dear High School Senior

 Dear High School Senior, 

    They say college is the best time of your life. It's safe to say that during a pandemic it's hard to live your best considering the many social restrictions. Therefore, my college experience has only been a fraction of what college is truly like. This experience has however, led me to the conclusion that college is what you make of it. If you sit in your dorm room all day you will not have a lot of fun. On the other hand, if you get involved you'll create friendships and memories. I recommend trying to put yourself out there your freshman year. Be thankful for the opportunities your given because maybe, if you're as unlucky as us, a pandemic will strip you of those opportunities. You have your whole life to sit around. Take advantage of your youthful years and have fun while still studying hard. As long as you maintain a good work ethic your soicla life and academic life will prosper.

Locked Away

 Once upon a time, there was a girl named Rapunzel who craved adventure. As a child, her grandmother told her she was diagnosed with a deadly disease that caused her to remain indoors for the rest of her life. The only person she ever talked to was her grandmother. Rapunzel would explore the mansion whenever her grandmother would run errands. She would often find her way to the attic, where she watched a neighborhood boy swim with his dog.  One day he saw her peering through the window and waved. Out of embarrassment, she ducked and instantly became flushed. She peaked her eyes over the ledge of the window and saw the handsome neighborhood boy making his way toward her. He shouted up at the window in hopes of getting a response. Rapunzel revealed herself through the window and shouted back. They talked for a couple hours. As soon as the grandmother began to pull in, Rapunzel told the boy to come back tomorrow at the same time. He nodded and trotted away. They continued t talk ...

Audience Awareness

       The commercial advertising Budweiser targeted its content towards young adults. This is evident because all the actors involved appeared to be young and having a great time. The advertisement tried to make it seem like drinking Budweiser was always a party, something young adults tend to enjoy. The commercial that was advertising Life Cereal targeted parents of younger children. The commercial had two kids refusing to eat cereal because they thought it would taste bad since it was "healthy". They make the kid who is the pickiest eater try it; after one bite he appeared to be enjoying it. Parenst would see this commercial and may believe that this is a heathy alternative for even the pickiest of eaters. The last commercial that advertised Nike products targeted athletes and anyone who indulges in physical actuvuty. It was an inspirational commercial that will appeal to many athletes because as an athete you are taught to always want more or to push yourself to ...

Revealing the Truth

 Children are perhaps some of the most innocent people. They base everything they know off of their own assumptions from observations or information others have told them. They trust that those around them are telling the complete truth. Unfortunately, everything they are told isn't always the truth - especially if it comes from a sibling. From my personal experience, older siblings tend to be the source of many false beliefs. One belief, in particular, went on for about a year of my childhood.  As a child, my older brother Collin was incredibly lazy. He would always ask someone else to do the simplest of tasks for him, like getting his shoes from the closet or grabbing him a water bottle. He realized the other members of the family were reluctant to do these favors for him. Desperate for a water bottle one day he told me I had an important task to do by the orders of the Disney Princesses. Obviously, I could not let down my idols. I jumped at the chance to impress any of the ...
