Struggles Of Being a College Student Athlete (Entry #6)

Image
 This has circled around me for a couple of months now. The struggles of being a college student athlete are real and challenging. From anyone else's point of view, it doesn't sound too bad. Sometimes it isn't but when it does catch up, it tends to impact a lot. There are many pros and cons of being a student athlete, and each side has a great effect on us. Many athletes wake up and go to practice, the important part of this is, are they eating a proper breakfast beforehand? Are they hydrating and getting the right amount of sleep to function well the next day? Are they putting themselves first and taking care of their body after practice? This is an important aspect to being an athlete that needs to be considered. Aside from that, there is the academic part of it. Being a student requires you to have good time management skills and taking responsibility for your work. Inevitably, there will be days where you feel a burnout.

https://youtu.be/tDT0kGlx52ofeature=shared This Allstate Mayhem commercial aims to connect with todays generation in order to make the ad more "relatable" to grab their attention. They try to promote a safer lifestyle in order to protect the roof over your head. Their goal is to not only "sell" their product, but to also make it so that the audience has a reason to watch it all the way through. They strive to create content that'll keep the people engaged every time they release a new commercial. The advertisement begins with the guy named Mayhem straightening his hair.

Although he uses the word blog i...

 We all have that one movie that gives us a sense of comfort and a homey feeling. Many of you must be familiar with the incredible movie series, "Harry Potter". It is a huge fan favorite of eight movies in total. Each one lasts a little over two hours long! We become very emotionally attached to not just the characters but to the setting as well. This extremely thrilling series gives everybody a place to call home. It allows for us to escape reality for just a bit. Image Source The entire Harry Potter series is a cinematic masterpiece. It is quite the experience that many movies don't offer. If you've watched it before, you know how much detail was put into it to create a whole other world like no other. This carries a huge fanbase across the continents and has inspired merchandise products, theme park attractions, and even food made in the movies. Universal Studios  has this wizarding world in its own section of the theme park. Although this series was started back i...

A Refreshing Delight! (Entry #3)

Come along as we open up a tin box of freshness. When going out to restaurants, finishing your dinner, or even heading out to last minute plans, this tin box will be your best friend at hand. Who needs a toothbrush for fresh breath when you've got this? The refreshing taste this confection leaves in your mouth is nothing compared to regular old gum! So, don't forget your tin box when going out. This piece of freshness meets you in the middle. It has both a bitter- yet a sweet taste! The cracking and popping of the plastic wrapper surrounding the tin box only makes you more impatient as it is quite the struggle to tear off. The screeching of your nails on the aluminum worsens it! The true satisfaction comes within the final POP as you open the tin. It forces you to take in the spicy, but sweet scent that comes flowing out. It is just like when you walk past a bakery and the smell of freshly baked cookies catches your attention. When you throw a few of these tiny, white-colored ...
