Chapter 12

Exploring careers is a huge task. Students really need to think about what they are getting into for their lives. People always want to do what they enjoy but is that always the best option? People want to follow their dreams but due to the downturn in the economy the dream job might not be something a person would want. People need to research what they are getting into before declaring their majors.

Chapter 11

Chapter 11 talks about spending money. I tend to go out of control when i have money in my hands. Money has to be spent wisely otherwise u will go broke before you know it. Money is a resource as its said in economics and it is always wise to use your resources wisely. Unwise use of credit cards can really harm a person. It can really ruin a persons credit and it can lead to a ruined life. Bad credit score can lead to harm in the future.

Avoiding problems with credit cards is one of the biggest challenges us Americans face. An average person shall have no more than 2 credit cards in their wallet but now that average has risen to 8. People are ruining their credit by having too many credit cards and not being able to keep track of them. It is very important to not sign up for many different cards, just because the design looks cool (myself). Credit cards do affect your lives in the long term so BE CAREFUL!!!

Try o get financial aid when you are in college. It is free money. You never have to pay it back. I consider some students “idiots” for not even applying. I mean how can they expect to win the lottery if they don’t get themselves in the lottery. The thing about financial aid is that government wants to pay for your education if you aren’t able to. This is great bacuz atleast the government has $$ for something.

Depression. Now a days, there is hardly anyone who is depressed. People are stressed out throughout the day but most of us end the day with the right amount of drugs or alcohol in the system. This is great. It helps us relax. More people on drugs at the same time means a much more relaxed world. I, myself don’t use drugs but you guys get what I’m saying.

Chapter 10

This chapter includes a section that tells students to not smoke and avoid drugs. I found the title “Don’t Smoke” very interesting so I looked into it. Hmm.. the book sure does makes sense by telling me that smoking causes deaths, heart diseases, and cancer. But who didn’t know this already? I thought I was going to learn something new, more facts about smoking that can help, but that wasn’t the case, so I looked into the “Avoid Drugs” section. And it had the same bullshit over again. Everybody knows we are not a drug free society and everybody knows change is bad most of the times so why try to change thing. Why don’t they just legalize marijuana already?

Audio vLogs

AUDIO Vlogs The audio vLogs we had to do were finished in class. As great as Professor Dan is, he allowed us to finish our peer mentor and senior interviews along with the Audio Vlogs as a class. This was great because i had a difficult time finding a senior to interview. The in class idea was much better in many ways. It got done much faster than we could have done it. ANd Professor Dan tought us how to edit these vLogs in class right in front of our eyes using Audacity.
