  Hello my fierce warriors, I am back again for the last time. I know it's sad, but my time here has been great and I have loved each any every entry I discussed, and I am more than honored with the feedback I have gotten during this time. I want to take this time to talk to future English students that will get to experience the blogging process. First off let me start by saying blogging is not easy, but it also is not that complex if you take the time to develop a great entry. I did not care too much for the blogging process in the beginning, but eventually I realized it would be smart of me to take it seriously so I don't fail the class, and once I started taking it seriously I found it to be quite soothing to the human mind.   Blogging can bring you a sense of accomplishment and peace. It can help you reach hundreds and maybe thousands of people out there that are struggling with something. You can save a life just by posting a blog that means something to them. Blogging...

My aunt told that women need to be independent and make their own money because one day your man may die or loss his job and then you guys will be homeless.

   Hello my fierce warriors, I am back again with some fun blogging! Today I want to discuss media and how it impacts my life on a day to day basis. I want to specifically discuss how I look at media now since being in college. I only use media as a form of entertainment. I don't use social media or other sites to express my emotions or vent, because I already have enough people in my life I trust to vent to. I am also a private person, and I hate others knowing my business until I choose to tell them. Now that I am in college English and we learn about rhetoric and credibility, I view media under less scrutiny. I have always hated the news because it is too depressing, and I never believed anything they say on the news to be true. Now, I understand that maybe some of the things they say on the news may be true, but they fail to make their information look credible and they fail to present people with all of the truth rather than just their version of the truth. Their rhetoric...
