For this assignment we have to decide 10 Signs that it is truly spring time:

1. The Grass is greener than it has been all year

2. There are people everywhere sitting outside doing homework, eating, and even tanning.

3. The sounds that you can hear are wonderful, whether they are birds, bees, or people enjoying the nice weather.

4. The girls are pretty. There are more people out and about and it brings out the beauty in people, especially the ladies!

5. Blue skies, slight breeze, and warm weather should be enough to know that summer is right around the corner.

6. Sun burn! Fair skinned people, like myself, are burning to a crisp already!

7. Animals, whether it be squirrels, birds or dogs, there are just more of them, and they are seen more on campus.

8. The snow is all melted, Finally! No more snow, or at least we hope!

9. What people wear has certainly changed. IN the winter time people are swearing sweats and cold weather gear. Now people are starting to show more skin, by wearing tank tops, shorts, and bathing suits!

10. Flowers, plants, and trees are starting to bloom, with a little more water and some more sun, this campus will be beautiful in a couple weeks.

I love this time of year for all these reasons. These are just the beginning signs of summer. Summer is right around the corner which means, beach time, boating, fishing, and of course more sunburn!

News Reading Assignment

NFL Had Worries About Power Outage Before Super Bowl

“While authorities investigate the causes of the 34-minute Super Bowl blackout, documents show that Superdome officials were worried last fall about losing power at the big game.”

I was interested in reading this story because I am a sports fanatic and I found it interesting that the NFL new about the possibility of a power outage before hand and for some reason did nothing to solve the problem. This article shows that an inspection that took place back in October said that there might be a power failure during the big game.

 

Is Joe Flacco An Elite QB In The NFL?

“Is _________ an elite quarterback?” is an often-asked question that’s difficult to answer. That blank was filled with Eli Manning’s name after last year’s Super Bowl, and is filled by this year’s Super Bowl MVP, Joe Flacco.”

I found this article interesting because like it says, this a frequently asked question and I wanted to see what they had to say about Joe Flacco. The author of this article in fact does not believe that he is an Elite quarterback, which I disagree with.

 

‘Give A Pint, Get A Pint’ At Montgomery County Blood Drive

“Giving a pint of blood can earn you a pint of something tasty at an upcoming Montgomery County blood drive.”

I wanted to read this article to see how to get a free pint of beer. I found out the way to get a free pint of beer was to go donate blood and they would give you a coupon for a free pint, whether it be of Ice Cream, soup, or beer.

Video

How Bad Do You Want It?

I was sitting at my computer this morning reading the news when i happened to check Facebook. One of my friends posted a video that was very motivational.

In the video he says:

“When you want to succeed as bad you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful”

This is just one part of the video that i really liked and i thought it was very motivational. This video gave me the chills so i wanted to share it on here, in the hopes of other people seeing it. This video is pointing me in the right direction and makes me realize that if i want something bad enough i have to really want it to be able to succede. I want to succede in life, as bad as i want to breathe. The question is, what do you want to succeed in?

Media Diet: What I Read

For this assignment i read:

Brian Stelter

Emily Nussbaum

Gay Talese

Most people when waking up in the morning, find a way to find out what is going on around the world. Everyone has a different way. Most of the people i read about like to read news papers or watch TV. A lot of the younger people tend to find a lot of information on twitter.

How do other people deal with the torrent of information that pours down on us all? What sources can’t they live without? We regularly reach out to prominent figures in media, entertainment, politics, the arts and the literary world, to hear their answers to these questions.”

Every morning i wake up, open my computer log on to Facebook and twitter to see what is going on with my friends, as well as the rest of the world. When it comes to news, i can only read it online I go to many different websites. Being at college i rarely read an actual news paper. it is easier to read them online.

When it comes to news i read websites like The New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, Yahoo,and many more. but i am not a big fan of reading about the news. There is always something bad going on in the world and i hate reading about stuff like that. A majority of the reading i like to do is found on sports websites. I love catching up on my favorite teams from Philadelphia, the Flyers, the Eagles, the 76ers, and mostly the Phillies. Along with them i love catching up with main sports such as the MLB, the NFL, the NBA, and the NHL. Sports are a huge intrest of mine so i enjoy reading about what is going on within them. Along with each sport individually i enjoy reading ESPN.
