Entry #6 Winter

 

 Hello all, unfortunately fall is slowing coming to an end. Although I would consider the weather that we experienced “fall like.” I definitely wouldn’t consider 110 degrees fall weather. Although I did enjoy the fall like activity. I enjoyed all the fall scents, seeing all the pumpkins, and seeing all the halloween decorations. I will definitely miss fall but I will welcome this “winter” wholeheartedly. When I was younger I didn’t really see much joy in the winter. However, as i’ve gotten older I thoroughly enjoy it. Winter is defiantly my 2nd favorite season. The only thing I don’t enjoy is the coldness that we experience. I’ve lived in Arizona my whole life and once it drops under 70, I start shivering. My mom has a habit of saving on the energy bills, so I think we’ve been having our windows and doors open for the past month. Now don’t get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy the coldness for some reason. Except sometimes it’s a little too cold. I don’t know if I have a medical condition or not but my toes get so cold to the point where they turn a bit blue so having the house all opened up has been a winter land nightmare for my toes.  With every season change of course I start suffering from my seasonal allergies. However all of this aside, I will gladly feel like this so I can visit flagstaff when it looks like this. Although i'm an Arizona native, I have only been to flagstaff about once or twice. The first time I did go I was proudly in a tank top and sweatpants playing in the snow. A very true Arizonaian thing to do. I thoroughly enjoy winter and can’t wait to visit flagstaff some more. Thank you all and have a great weekend.

    I am sorry about your toes in the cold, but man do I love cold weather. When it hits 50 degrees it is like the perfect temperature for me. I hope you get to travel all over to experience all the cultures and seasons of other places! - Christopher Vining

Entry #4 Christmas

Image
  Hello all, it has saddened me that fall has quickly started and ended. However, it is now the season of GIFTING and Mariah. I'm kidding, I know it is not all about that but it is the most important aspect. Growing up I was never really interested in Christmas. To me, it was just another dreaded holiday. However, I don't know what has come over me these past few years but I just love Christmas. Obviously not as much as Halloween but it's pretty close. I just love the atmosphere that Christmas creates. It's a very loving yet cold atmosphere.  Here in Arizona for me, I consider 70 and below pretty cold. I do enjoy it when it gets cold because then I go up to Flagstaff and have fun in the snow. My favorite part of Christmas is of course the different cultures that celebrate. No matter the culture their concepts are very similar. I am having a bit of writer's block so that will be all for now. Until next time!

Entry #7 Media

  I have been on social media for a long time. Since 4th grade actually. I started off on Facebook. Some social media apps that I have been on before are Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Musically, TikTok, MySpace, Flipagram, and many more. I would like to say i’m a seasoned media user. That being said i’ve seen many changes regarding media. When I first was on Facebook, there were very controversial things. At the time I don’t think Facebook or the media in general was super strict on what users posted, so at a young age I was exposed to many disturbing things. I’m glad to see that it has changed a bit in terms of things being posted. One thing popular on social media is the hashtag. Now I only ever really noticed hashtags on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok. Hashtags have always been a popular way to gain an audience. Many people gain audiences and interactions when they use hashtags. It is a popular way to reach your targeted audience. Some social media trends that were once po

Entry #3 Bias

  Hello all, in this blog I will be discussing bias in the media. Unfortunately, it’s quite common which is ridiculous but they have to brain wash you some how. For this blog I will be discussing a article that I found which is both bias and a little funny. Its mainly funny because of how it starts off. The article in question is the  https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/pharmacy-strike-cvs-walgreens-rite-aid-worker-conditions-rcna121944 . The article starts off with “ Pharmacies are boring. Pharmacies are supposed to be boring. But lately, they might be getting too interesting for comfort.” When it comes to the bias I understand it but for some reason it's hard to explain. Throughout the article its pretty clear that the writer is in favor of the pharamiscts which he should be but when writing articles relating to media it is important to remain as neutral as possible. Showing bias can tell the adueicen that really you only care for one side. This doesnt create credibilt
