Week 15 post 1

I'm really happy for Carson Wentz, but I feel like his fate in the NFL is going to impact how the public views NDSU as a school all around. Which I think is completely unfair for every student that goes here, all the other players, and every person that is affiliated with NDSU. I definitely will not let people judge me or the legitimacy of my degree because of one person's football skills. I am very happy for him, but he's not the face of NDSU to me.

I believe that social media has so many positive and negative gains for my generation and for the future of all the world! I like how it enables for every single person that has internet access to be able to voice their opinion and express their freedom of speech! That is a huge positive of social media and so is connecting with family members and old friends that we aren't lucky enough to see as much as we want! I personally believe that the popularity of social media has changed the true meaning of it seeing it first person as a young millennial. I have seen some really embarrassing, provocative, gruesome, and meaningless subject matters on social media. It really frightens me to see some certain peoples opinions and how negative they can bee with only one goal, and that is to hurt other people. Social media is not meant for people to be rude to each other and slowly but surely that is what is happening in the social media world!

Week 12 #2

It is very funny to think how much a college degree really costs achieving. I do not believe in free education concerning college, but why must it be so damn expensive? With 15,000 plus students that attend bigger colleges you would think that big colleges could at least lower their tuition rates and extra fees a bit. I can see that with these un real rates the campus gets to do renovations and new buildings, but is that really necessary? I assume colleges profit yearly pretty decently, so it would just seem like a decent thing to do to lower tuition, but I guess I really do not know that much because I have a pretty biased view on it. I am sure teachers, staff, deans, etc have very different view points! It is just a very hot topic, and very relevant!

Week 12 Post#1

I am very excited for summer to start but I know that it is going to be a very long summer consisting of very long days of hard labor. I plan on working a road construction or any sort of hard labor job that works over 40 hours a week so I can make more money (overtime). I really want to make a lot of money so I can pay back some money towards my student loans, before my grace period ends. I really do not want to pay off student loans for 10 plus years while paying other bills, because it will get very aggravating and annoying!!

Week 8 post #3

I think that this election will forever be the most controversial election in history. A lot of people only have negative things to say about every candidate, but the sad thing is most of these people really don't know anything about politics. Social media misleads many people in the wrong way about each candidate, and it is a very sad and unpromising thing to see about the people that live in this country. I see so many posts daily about fake or misleading posts about these individuals and I feel bad for them because it takes a lot to run for this country and people now days just believe that you need money to run, but that is pretty false. Most of the candidates are much more smarter than a good portion of this country and they truly want the best for this country but people are so negative and have such bad views and interpretations about these candidates. How is it even possible to hate someone so much that you don't even personally know. I really wish that people would actually pay attention to what they have to say and listen to politics instead of being so critical about every single thing these candidates have to say.

Week 8 post #2

I personally believe that cops should be paid more because of the danger and all of the situations that they have to experience daily. I have never understood why cops are not paid more because they have one of the most stressful jobs in America today and if they do not receive higher wages no one is going to want to be a police officer anymore, and having a lack of police officers would be a very awful thing in this country. I don't think that they should be millionaires or anything like that I just believe that the compensation that they receive should make their contributions and what they risk everyday worth the pay. I know that many people would disagree, but those people don't see what this job does to individuals and their families it is a very tough thing for many people and I feel very bad for our police officers today.

Week #8 post 1

Before I even came to college I always had dreams of becoming a police officer and I wanted to try and make the world a better and more safe place. My mind has recently changed due to all of the police violence and hatred towards police officers. It is such a shame that many people have such negative views on people that truly want to ensure safety and happiness in their lives, but now people believe that all cops are completely filled with evil and that they only bring negative effects to every thing now days. It is a very sad thing to think about and I really hope that this stigma on the police force is erased soon because many officers are getting shot and killed and they nor do their families deserve that at all.
