      Blog critiques are one of my favorite things about creative writing. They allow you to receive compliments along with good advice from your fellow peers that encourage you to be the best writer you could possibly be. Through these classes, I always enjoy listening to my peer's blogs and writing assignments because everyone has their own style. It is interesting to see how each individual makes their writing unique and it allows you to see how passionate your classmates are about their topics. I thoroughly enjoy the information I learn every day from everyone around me and seeing what new things we can discover as a whole.      Starting off I am going to be talking about Taylor Rich . I think it is safe to say that Taylor's assignments over Disney World are a class favorite. You can tell that it is something that she is very passionate about and enjoys relaying all of the Disney information possible to her peers. I personally love when she talks about Disney because it rem

      International media is anything that refers to news outlets that operate across national borders and covers news from different countries and regions around the world. This can include anything from newspapers, social media, websites, and magazines that would reach people all around the world. Some of the most well-known media companies around the world are CNN , The Guardian , The New York Times , and Bloomberg . International media is not just good for sharing important information worldwide but is also a great way to express different countries' beliefs and cultural standings.      Although there are so much convenient features through international media, you also have to understand that not all country is the same in the manner of censorship rules that they are required to follow. The government controls what information can go in and be released outside of their country. Some countries might have heavier censorship of what they allow their countries to see from the outs

      Social media continues to grow every day and as it grows so do new ways to meet new people. Tinder was not the first form of online dating but it was one of the first dating apps to be released. Before Tinder, people could talk and meet through Match.com. Tinder is a dating app that was released on September 12, 2012, by CEO Sean Rad. Tinder first started off through a trial at a US college. They soon realized that Tinder was a huge success when they recorded 350 million swipes per day at the end of 2013 which equals to four thousand swipes per second. Once we reached the end of 2014 Tinder was getting up to one billion swipes per day by users. Sean turned the position over to Chris Payne who was the former eBay and Microsoft executive in March 2015. In August 2015, Rad returned and became the CEO of Tinder once again.      Once Sean returned as the CEO he added new features like "Rewind" and "Super Like". Making a Tinder account is pretty simple. You include

    Personally, I could not name one single media critic off the top of my head. Media critics are not something that I find entertaining to watch on a day-to-day basis. I honestly do not spend much time on Youtube and that is where you will find most of the media critics. You will see some here and there on TikTok. Now with that being said I am going to put my own little spin on this topic. Although I do not watch media critics I do however watch a lot of reactions to videos from famous YouTubers. The person I choose to watch the most is Brad Mondo.           Brad Mondo is a professional hair stylist that does hair, sells his own personal hair products, and makes videos on Youtube and TikTok . Brad also has a large following on his Instagram as well. He uses all of his social media platforms to promote his products, educate his fans on how to take care of their hair properly, what products work best for different hair types, how to do different haircuts to your own hair at home, h

 Where the Crawdads Sing     Where the Crawdads Sing is a movie based on a best-selling novel written by American zoologist Delia Owens which came out on August 14, 2018. The movie was released four years later on July 15, 2022. The movie was produced by Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter. Where the Crawdads Sing is a fictional story about a girl named Kya and her life growing up in the marshlands of North Carolina.       Kya was one of four children in her household. Her mother left when she was very young. When the two oldest sisters got old enough they soon left as well. Lastly, the brother took off and left Kya all by herself with their dad. The whole family was torn apart by their abusive father that had a bad alcohol problem. Kya tried her best to stay out of his way and basically raised herself in the marsh. She never attended school and learned the ways of the marsh. The movie jumps back and forth from her when she was little to when she was as a teenager.      The beginni

 Supernatural      In the past, many people would find it very hard to get themselves motivated to work out. You would even hear people say that they would pretend that dogs were chasing them while they were running on the treadmill in order to motivate them to run faster. Working out can be a drag or even get repetitive. Some might even get anxious at the thought of stepping into a large gym with other people. Now with technology advancing these days that is no longer a problem. That new technology is Meta Quest VR headsets that allow you to subscribe to programs like Supernatural. Supernatural is just one way that technology is making working out from home more enjoyable.      Supernatural is subscription-based technology that offers over 500 different ways to be active and the team works to add more every day to fit everyone's workout style with options.
