 By the time I leave college these are the five skills that I would like to learn by the end of school. Number one would be self discipline, I want to learn the ability to get stuff done when I need to and not get distracted. Also having the self discipline to wake up early and get to work is big. The second skill I would like to learn is the ability to start a conversation with a stranger, I think that that skill is widely useful in the world today, helping you make connections and meet new people outside of the social media world. The third thing Id like to learn skill wise is the ability to have a tough conversation with someone, whether that be a teacher or a peer, just the ability to sit down with someone and say what needs to be said. The fourth skill that id like to learn in school is the skill to be able to sit down and focus, sometimes I have trouble focusing on one thing for a long period of time and I would like to have the ability to sit down and work on one thing for a...

 The big things that I was I was told in High School about college was the ability to manage time and how important it is in your life. In high school your day is kind of planned for you and you have set times for everything throughout the day. In college you have to learn to manage your time to the point where you have to plan out your free time in order to get stuff done. In college you have to focus on managing your time and energy on important things. Another truth about college is that the professors will work with you and not punish you for everything you do. In high school teachers would try to scare me saying in college you wont get away with that. But, in real life the professors in college will often times work with you more than high school teachers did. The last and final truth about college is that if you apply yourself you will meet very many new people. In high school you can get caught in a rut trying to meet new people because you are stuck in the same area forever...

 Basically in the video each person in the elevator has their own music playing out loud and without headphones on. This creates a loud ruckus when a bunch of people end up hopping in the elevator. Then someone with a huge radio boombox gets in and they all shut down their phones, he then turns on his music and puts an earbud in, so they have peace and quiet. Just as they have peace and quiet, elevator music turns on and they all start looking at each other. I think they chose to write and direct this video as a sort of reason that they have elevator music, and also to be concious of others.I think that this is the reason why the author wrote this because at the end of the video the elevator music starts playing and there is kind of an awkward silence. At the end of the video you see how a person who has headphones doesnt disturb others which is why it is the point of the video. I think the audience is adults and young adults, I think this is the audience because all the people in ...

 The three advertisments had three different audiences and it was very distinguishable. The first ad was the Budweiser ad, this ad was targeting mainly adults in their twenties. They had a great campaign that showed a bunch of celebrations, from the moon landing to prohibition being over, that showed adults getting out and partying, as well as going to bars and having fun. The second ad, was for life cereal. This ad targeted parents who were looking for a very nutritious cereal that their kids still liked. You could tell it was targeting parents when the end of the ad said that they don't have to know that its nutritious, only you do. The third ad was the Nike ad, this one was targeting mainly young athletes, trying to get them to achieve their dreams and wear nike clothes, like all their favorite athletes. It was targeting the kids because of they see their favorite athlete wearing something, they to will want to wear it. It is important for us to know our audience in order to hit...

Ninth Blog Assignment

 My biggest regret that I have in my life up to this point is all the time ive wasted doing non important things when I should have been working towards my goals. It is not a "not" phrase like most other regrets, it is just me wishing I had done more to achieve goals that I might never reach. I don't think I can fully turn around this regret because the window has passed on some opportunities, but I do think that I can still chase some of the goals I set for myself in the past and make them workout. Regret relates to truth because it is the truth, regret is us facing the truth of what really happened and us facing the the situation we are in now. It is a form of cold hard truth because regret reminds us of what we didnt do.

 Once upon a time there was a mother pig, who had three little pigs. So when they were old enough and the mother could no longer feed them they were sent off on their own. The first pig was very lazy, so he built a house out of straw, the second pig was a little less lazy, so he built his house out of sticks. After they were done, they went outside to play, leave the scent of piglet all over the area, something that a hungry wolf would smell from miles away. The third pig worked hard on his house all day, making it out of bricks, it kept his scent inside, and let him have a sturdy defense from the wind, and any possible predators. As night fell the pigs went off into their separate houses. In the night they the pig in the straw house heard foot steps, then growling. A wolf, he ran over to the pigs house, and knocked over the straw, as the piglet began to run away he was gobbled up. Now, the piglet that was in the sticks heard the commotion, and when he heard his brother being eaten...

When I was a little kid my parents wouldn't let me walk all the way down our driveway, which is pretty long. When I was a kid my mom and dad would not let me go past something called the grey pole, which was a little eletrical cable pole in our front yard that stuck out of the ground in between our house and the road. They did not explicitally say what would happen if I crossed the grey pole, but they did say that something bad would happen. Well when I got a little adventerous a year later I went out past the famous grey pole. Needless to say nothing happened to me, it did not hinder my relationship with my parents but I thought it was interesting that they lied to me.
