Blog# 6: Drastic College Dating


Dating in college has major pros and cons. It can lead to prosperity and eliminate your college worries but can also lead to distraction from academic success. Attending the same school as your partner can be demanding because it can distract you from your academic work and cause missed classes, failures in homework/exams and much more. A great privilege in dating in college is that having someone to care for and hang out can relief stress and make you feel like with no emptiness or loneliness. This sounds very good until a certain discussion or break-up gets in the way. As shown in Cosmogirl, dating can vary from dating in High School when it seemed easy to just forget about a ruined relationship. In college dating can get serious and even making someone drop-out just to be away from that certain relationship they don't wan't to deal with anymore. Dating in college can also lead to a marriage or a deep relationship that can lead to raising children.

When dating in college and attending the same class as your partner, it could become a bit overwhelming. Imagine having the "love of your life" sitting right next to you, talking and sharing each others thoughts constantly and then sooner or later your professor has to pause the lesson just to confirm that you've disrupted his class. Then you've noticed that your work is not done and probably won't get it done because you are with your partner constantly. Just as it sounds, it can very demanding and stressful. However, dating has it's upturns and cons. Dating can sooth your soul when you're restless after working long hours and days or doing large amounts of homework. It can calm you down and improve self esteem and probably make you feel confident about having relationships in college. Dating can also lead to your first marriage in which happens occasionally in college. At the end of the day you'll always have your partner with you throughout hard days in school as sown in the picture to the upper right. Otherwise it is a very big case to date in college.

Blog# 4: Internet Reputations.

The Internet or the World Wide Web has become a common source in society today. It comes with a variety of good sources and many times it can lead to negative effects that can influence your life and reputation. Posting on common websites of the world wide web is very interesting, fun, and versatile. However, it can cause some harsh side effects that can jeopardize your future and even your social life. When posting comments or blogs on the internet take note of the things you write and show. Because writing or showing a picture of something too out-there can cause you to loose your job or create tension with friends and peers as shown in webmd.com.


As a teenager I love the internet and using such websites for example Myspace or Twitter are my sources for blogging and posting. In my days during high school i managed to make comments and statements that made some people think twice about my friendship and also edged-up my reputation at school. I used to post comments on school gossip and it easily portrayed an image of a talkitive person. I have learned my lesson and that is why I don't regret it. Everything happens for a reason and as I have always told myself, "There is a difference between saying anything and saying everything". Now that I'm in college I hope not to make the same mistakes. I believe I have matured enough to do such things. I never really had many internet chaos, however I hope I won't fall into a trap again and do what is best as shown in the picture to the left.

Blog #3: Creativity is My Life.


As a art major student, I'm very creative and my work is very authentic. My interest in the creative Digital Media Arts major is very energetic and can be defined in various ways. Since technology have become a main source in the 21st Century, my interest in technology has skyrocketed to a point that my days are spent working on computers learning new and exiting things. From Adobe Photoshop to other Adobe programs like Illustrator I am loving the way the Arts have developed into a wizard of flowing colors, pallettes and technological creativity that one could have done by paper and pencil. As you see in the photograph to the right, the enthusiasm i have for Art Deco Graphic Design is quite relevant and can be done various ways by hand( as designers originally made Art Deco graphics) or by computer. Since Graphic Design has become very electronic, producing such designs have become cleaner and simpler to make.
The use of computers in the Advertising Design industry is very interesting to me as well.An example of this particular career is shown on ehow.com. I chose DMA as a career because I have a great aptitude for this major. Almost every piece of artwork on the street or on the web inspires me to create sleek modern artwork. In five years from now I could see myself working in an Advertising firm anywhere inspiring and vibrant in the creativity major. Miami, Fl is one my favorite cities where i hope to see my Advertisements and Logos along it's palm lined streets in the near future. The city features great designers and gallerys scattered throughout it's metropolitan area.
