Entry #10: Finishing First Year of College

Image
My first year of college is about to come to an end.  I only have roughly about 3 and a half weeks left until my 2nd semester is over and I have to say that it was quite a busy year.  After spending one year here at GCC , I learned a lot about what community college has to offer.  The number one thing is that it's super cheap to attend a community college.  Also, I learned that college is very heavy on the workload.  Back in high school, I remember the workload being a lot less but in college, it's way different.  It took me a while to get used to it, but now it's something casual to do my homework every day of the week.  I learned that classes are tougher than usual, and that to get a good grade, one must be responsible for their effort and turn work in on time. I also learned more in-depth about my career as a Mechanical Engineer.  After taking an engineering course, I got more interested in my major.  Realizing what goes into the field of ...

Entry #9: Media Synthesize

Image
Media is literally everywhere.  Everywhere I go there is always media.  Media such as newspapers, magazines, TV commercials, YouTube ads, radio advertisements, Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram etc.  They are always present in our lives.  Especially for me because growing up, I used YouTube a lot and I still do.  I also use a lot of TikTok and Instagram.  Personally, I think media is something normal.  We all use social media apps every day because it's something nice to have.  To be able to communicate with your family and friends without having to memorize phone numbers.  Also the ability to make new friends.  It's all normal to see such advertisements.  We all have that one commercial that we deeply remember because it either has a nice jingle to it or it's super funny.  Sure people may argue that social media is bad and use the " devious lick " trend as their reason to claim social media is bad.  Don't get me wrong, that tre...

Entry #8: The Batman

Image
Like 3 weeks ago I watched  The Batman in theatres.  Obviously, I had to watch it in the IMAX theater to get the full experience of the movie.  Before watching it in theatres, I was worried that the movie might flop.  The trailers looked really good and entertaining but I was still worried if this was the right direction.  After watching the movie, I must say that the movie was really good.  Not better than the Batman trilogy made by Christopher Nolan but definitely is below the trilogy.  The atmosphere of the Batman was amazing, they did a good job of how Gotham should be.  Very dark and horror-like.  Criminals commit horrible crimes such as doing drugs, stealing, committing heists, and murder.  It shows that Batman has a lot of challenges ahead of himself.  I also like how they showcased the new batmobile.  I LOVE the new batmobile.  It's so raw in its structure, with a very old-school American muscle body style.  ...

Entry #7: Hashtags

Image
Social Media has played a huge role in everyone's lives.  With apps such as Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and much more.  With the release of these apps, many trends came with it.  One of the couple trends that are famous is selfies and hashtags.  Selfies are pretty self-explanatory, just take pictures of yourself and post them on your profile.  The most popular so far is the Hashtag trend and so far, people still use hashtags to this day.  Hashtags were really huge when all these huge social media platforms came out.  Little young me in 2013 was wondering why people were using hashtags.  I remember just people hashtagging every word they can think of.  I remember the popular kids at my middle school would use several hashtags.  Hashtags terms such as #cool, #cars, # Arizona, #selfie, #drake, and the list goes on and on all the way to infinity.  What I know about hashtags is that their content is sorted by people who use ...
