Throughout our lives we have different types of educators and teachers that impact us in different ways.  Some we are not fond of, others shape our passions and future field of interest, and then there is that one exceptional teacher.  Mrs. McCrady, my junior year English teacher made class exciting and a pleasure to attend.  Mrs. McCrady was the type of teacher who could get her students truly engaged in what we were learning about.  When sitting through a seven hour day of classes you can only remember so much, but because of the way she taught we were able to retain the information.  We weren't just reading the book we were acting it out with styrofoam swords.  When it came time for a test the information was still fresh in our heads because of this creative way of getting us to process the sequence of events in the story. Now you're probably wondering why I'm sitting in my teacher's car in the above photo.  This was a behind the scenes shot fr...

 My freshman year of college is coming to an end.  The next thing to think about is what courses I'm going to be taking in the fall.  I'm very excited because I will be back on campus next semester and taking in person classes. Next semester I will be taking a math course, language and history class.  I still have to speak to my advisor because I added an extra class on this semester.  I don't know those specific courses, but it will definitely be interesting getting back in the routine of standard classes.  The class I am looking forward to the most is Digital Audio Production.  This class pertains to my major, Television and Digital Media.  This past semester I took Intro to Control Room and Studio which was online.  I am looking forward to taking something I know I will enjoy and especially because it will most likely be in person as of right now.  The other course that stood out is Theorizing Communication and Media.  I believe ...

Friends come and go however a few will stick around.  Now my best friend and I don't have some incredible story on how we met or how we really clicked, but I think that's what makes this friendship so special.   My friend Kaitlyn and I became friends the regular ordinary way in a class we had together in sophomore year.  While in gym class her and her other friend planned on going trick or treating, which is completely embarrassing as we were about 15 at the time.  This is when I found out that we only lived about a block away from each other.  I've always wanted one of those neighborhood friends as a kid. Throughout high school our friendship just stuck.  We're the type of friends that support each other and cheer each other on when something exciting happens in our lives.  Our friendship consists of us  going ice skating, walking around our neighborhood, facetiming and having conversations about her favorite show "Grey's Anatomy".  Kai...

Karaoke is very enjoyable when done with a group of friends.  I have three songs that are perfect to also sing in the car if you want to do some  carpool karaoke.  My first choice would be "History" by One Direction because my friends got me into them.  I personally liked their music as a kid, but I'm not obsessed like them.  Not long ago we were in the car singing this song at the top of our lunges.  This is not meant be sung loud but we were screaming it.  The song reminds me of my group of friends because of the main line "You and me got a whole lot of history."  Up next is "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond.  This is not my top song at all it's very far from it however this is great when you have a large group of people because everyone gets to shout the "bum bum bum" part.  It's a great song to get people energized and excited.  Back in high school we used to do a competition of games against the classes called "Clash" an...
