There’s a whole list of things I want to accomplish or experience before I die. These include owning a bunny rabbit as a pet, dying my hair a crazy amount of colors (and taking care of it so it doesn’t far out), go backpacking and travel around Europe, attempt an overnight challenge at a supermarket …

Newsy Story Assignment
For my story assignment, I decided to write an opinion article on the news story ‘Federal Judge Blocks Alabama’s Abortion Ban’ in support of abortion being available to all women across the country regardless of what state they happen to reside in. History has proven that abortion will happen whether it’s legal or not- allowing …
Corporal Punishment
In my own opinion, punishing your children through physical means such as slapping and spanking is way too normalized in our (and most) societies, and has the opposite effect than what is intended upon their development. An article entitled ‘The Case Against Spanking’ published by the American Psychology Association in April of 2018 insists that …
Rude Customers
In my personal experience, a lot of customers are rude to food service employees and view them as inferior due to their line of work and often their age, either because they’re a young kid or an adult who got stuck working in fast food. I’ve had customers yell at and report me for issues …
Euphoria
HBO’s Euphoria follows a seventeen year old Rue as she readjusts to life and school after returning from rehab for her drug addiction. While Rue is the main protagonist and narrator, each episode focuses on a different character who Rue is friends with or otherwise associated with. The show tackles many issues such as drugs, …

Euphoria Makeup
Ever since the release of HBO’s Euphoria, there’s been a wave of fans recreating makeup looks featured on the show. Instead of the simple eyeshadow and blush other artists typically apply on their actresses, Euphoria pushes the boundaries of what is considered socially acceptable. Many characters are seen in avant-garde, editorial looks that represent their …
Frozen 2 Review
I was anticipating the release of this film since the first teaser trailer dropped. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the first movie at its initial release, but eventually came to love the soundtrack and characters through their various short films. The trailer implied that the tone of the sequel would be much more serious …
hyper local news
Hyperlocal journalism tends to hone in on narrow topics and is conducted on an ” extremely small, local scale”, according to Tony Rogers of thoughtco.com. These areas are typically smaller towns or neighborhoods, and sometimes even one block in a subdivision. Many who participate are either citizen journalists with little prior experience or unpaid volunteers, …
photojournalism
For my photojournalism assignment, I’m considering covering a story on the Twenty One Pilots concert I just attended last night. I took a lot of pictures before, during and after and putting them together to illustrate a story of my experience seems like a lot of fun. While this wouldn’t be particularly educational or informative, …
