Turkey Week Already?!

Happy Thanksgiving week everyone...and Fruesday! Crazy to think only three more weeks in the semester! You know what though? THANK GOD! I am so ready for next semester. This one hasn't been one to remember.
On another note. Start my new job next week! Probably be working a few days and getting some extra cash. Looking at a new model for Abercrombie. (Note, I really don't think I am good looking) but besides that It's a nice job for over winter break and possibly the summer. I will for sure take my 30% discount at Abercrombie any day. But other than that. It's Friday night and I am here writing this blog? Nah...I am about to go out and enjoy my night. Have a good weekend all.

Black Ops

So the new Call of Duty video game came out this week. I may be the minority among the college guys to not go out and get it. It past years, I would have been outside at midnight waiting right with them, but I find myself so busy that I have no time to enjoy the game. When I do play however nowadays, I honestly play online with my dad and uncle or I play with my best friend Kevin. The only two games I play are NCAA football 11 or NHL 11. My dad, uncle and I have a hell of a time playing NHL. The game is so fun, and with video games nowadays they are getting more and more realistic. Granted, we aren't the best video gamers but we know how to have fun. In the end that's what video games are about. People take games WAY to seriously today and they need to chill and realize it's only a game and it doesn't have any impact on your life whatsoever. Some people need to relax and have FUN. Since that's what video games are about. But I just see too many people taking it way to seriously and in the end when its suppose to be a stress reliever. It pisses the person off even more. One word of advice. Don't take the small things in life so seriously. It doesn't do anyone any good.

What's New?

Pretty quiet week thus far. Seriously I can't think of anything to write. I find that donating blood plasma is easy money. I have been doing that the last few weeks, making and extra $50 a week just to mess around with. Since every college student is money hungry, blood plasma donation isn't a terrible thing to do, and also the plasma is for a good cause. Sure we always think about the money first, but we forget WHY we are doing it. Biolife plasma centers donate all the blood plasma to children will difficulties producing their own plasma. Since all blood plasma is the same, it makes it convenient for them. I donate 880 ML every time. As much as it is for me to earn a quick buck, I also feel good that I am helping some children in dire need of the blood plasma.
So for anyone who reads this, its not difficult money to earn and also you are helping with some or many children lives.

Brrr!

November is here. This means the transition into cold weather, winter, end of semester and lack of sunlight. Yet if there's any good about November and December. It has to be the holiday season. I hope this brightens peoples moods since the holidays are one to be with family and relaxation.
If anything, I would love to have a job over the 5 week break for winter break. I would love to bring in an extra $400-$500 to just buy pointless items with. I do currently have a group interview at Abercrombie next week. I hope it is just not a pointless three hour trip home to not get hired, or arriving to see 50 people at this group interview. But I am determined to get a job and get some extra cash.
Lastly November brings us only six weeks of the semester left. This blows my mind. Where did the semester go? I swear being a college student there is less time in the day.
Anyways, I hope everyone has a great weekend and stays safe.

Assignment #3 Post

A lot of research had to be conducted while writing this paper. Sex Education as we know is a controversial topic that's overlooked sometimes within our country. I found that there are two main ways to teach Sex Education, and that's through Abstinence and Contraception. Ironically and interestingly, the country is almost divided up evenly between the states in which what each state teaches. States however are starting to transition more into contraception education, or giving the parents/guardians the option for what topic they want their student to learn. North Carolina is the most recent state to offer both contraception and abstinence education. They are only the 7th state to offer both. They were predominately Abstinence education before lawmakers decided the transition about a year ago.
Lastly what I found while researching this topic was how different organizations express their feelings. Especially the Advert Organization, who only promotes Abstinence lifestyle of living. I found that they make their presence strongly within third world countries, yet continue to express their message through their website, Advert.org.
