Blog #6 Heaven Or Hell

Is God really the man who decides your fate? 

If you dont believe in God do you automatically go to Hell?

Im sure these are both questions we as people either believe or dont believe each and every day. Its funny how alot of people think that just because they go to church the are automatically going to Heaven. The people who dont go to church but do believe in God still isnt good enough for the people who actually take the time to sit at church and worship God. 

You see it every were from our school campus to the streets there are people out there just trying to get people involved with going to church and reading the bible. The most common reason for people thinking others will go to hell is due to the fact that those people dont believe in God and for that those people are judged in a bad way. 

I think personally that whether you believe in God or not if you do something really bad in this world you are going to Hell no questions asked. Sure you could ask for forgiveness but that's not always enough. 

There are a number of people out her who also believe that if you don't have the same beliefs as them that you are not a suitable person for them to date, be friends with, or even socialize with and that is their own opinion and they are entitled to that. 

We all are not God we dont decide whether or not a person is good or not and we need to realize that and stop being so judgmental towards others.

Blog # 5 Fast paced classes

Its crazy and interesting that these hybrid classes that we are in now are also in universities as well. I always knew it was a faster way to get things done in college but i thought that was just at the community college level. These type of classes are better for some students because alot of students rather get the work done and out of the way other than sitting in a lecture learning about the topic class they are in.

After reading the article on these 7 week classes i think that the article is trying to persuade us as students to look into these types of classes and they feel as if they will benefit us by allowing us to complete subjects faster.

This article is also showing us the good side to the 7 week class rather than the negative side of it. Me personally like the fast paced class because it is truly fast paced. By taking this hybrid class im taking now i feel like it is going by super quick and thats due to all the work i am putting in on it.

Hybrid classes are very valuable for students who want to get done with school faster so why not take advantage of them and enroll  yourself in these classes.

Entry #4 Fast Food

As humans we all need to eat and drink to survive. We also need to realize eating healthy will also help us live longer tan we expect. There is one issue out there that makes this so called eating healthy thing not so easy. That one thing is FAST FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From McDonald, to Taco Bell, to Burger king they all have a huge effect on us as human beings, and we need to open our eyes and see that. On average obesity rate for men in the United States is 32.2% and for women the rate is 35.5%. Now the amount of money being spent on these types of places are through the roof on average an American spends around 1,200 dollars a year on fast food Holy Crap. 

1. McDonalds- The front runner for most money made in Fast food

 2. Burger King- The self named King of fast  food/ Burgers

3. Taco Bell- The place that caught our attention due to a dog

We as the people of the United States need to open our eyes and realize we are the laughing stock of other countries and its because of our weight. lets change that by changing our eating habits.

Blog Entry #3 The war on Iraq

 Slanted is reporting that is used to show both the good and bad side of things happening other than being just one sided. It also allows us as people to see how much information is being put out there about the topic we are interested in. I found a very interesting topic on slanted reporting and it is on the war in Iraq which has been a crazy ride for us Americans since 2002. The story i read was called "The Iraq Effect: War Has Increased Terrorism Sevenfold Worldwide" This article basically says that this little war between the United States and Iraq has caused a huge deal of terrorism across the whole world.

 

 Sad to see this is what our world has become

In my eyes i feel as if this article along with any other article involving the war on Iraq is slanted because it states that the war was a good idea at first, but now it has gone to far and terrorism is running our world. I personally feel as if this whole war should be over and people should take it for what it is. Us as Americans have nothing else to prove or do over there and we need to realize that because kids as young as eight are seeing whats happening and they are starting to think its cool or funny when it really isnt.

 

Example of kids terrorizing another innocent kid

I hope we all can see the harm that terrorism is doing to our society and understand that this all needs to stop.

Entry #2 Life in a student athletes shoes

Entry #2 Life in a student athletes shoes!!!!!!!!!

Being a student takes a huge tole on many people when it comes to being able manage the time to do all the work for the classes you are in.

Now imagine having all that work, and having to manage the time you have to put in for the sport you are going to school for.

Yea its a lot harder than it sounds not only do you have to be able to complete all your course work and maintain your grades to even be able to play. You also have to be able to compete with your teammates for 3 hours after a long stressful day of class and homework with nothing left in the tank.

Now comes the actual fun HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!! if your able to settle down and do at least 3 hours of home work each day your on the right path as a student athlete. Sometimes i know this for a fact as an athlete we tend to procrastinate till we cant procrastinate any longer and that is such a bad idea although the work gets done we tend to do a poor job on what ever the assignments are.

Sleep is another thing we have to find the time to do. I am a BIG sleeper and i love to sleep any chance i get to sleep i take it because energy is needed to live the crazy fast paced life i live and without sleep there is now way i could do the things i do.

Once u find a way to manage the time to do this all life as a student athlete gets easier and easier.

The Athlete Within this student. Come fly with me!!!!!!
