Things I Eat throughout my day.  













Started off my morning strong with an omelet!  On days when I have my classes until 5:30, I try to eat a big breakfast.  












Then I had a break between classes, so my friend Kayla and I grabbed some Dunkin.  











I also grabbed some Halal Shack in between my classes













I then came home and my roommate had made a pasta dish for dinner!












To end the night, we ate some Hershey's Kisses and worked on our homework, which was due tomorrow.  


Selfies are seen as a form of self-expression in modern times. Selfies are also seen in positive and negative aspects in society, based on what is or isn't being put out into society.  In the article "Why We Selfie," the author, Dr. Nicki Lisa Cole, dives deeper into the meaning of selfies. The article quotes, "Selfies, and our presence on social media generally, are part of what sociologists David Snow and Leon Anderson describe as "identity work" ("Why We Selfie," N. Cole).  Selfies are also seen as negative because posting them can bring in criticism, and more perspective into everyday life.  Selfies are a way for people to communicate, and show expressions on social media.  In the article, it states, "The selfies we take and share are designed to present particular image of us, and thus, to shape the impression of us held by others," ("Why We Selfie," N. Cole).  Selfies, or pictures, such as the ones above show us what we put out into the world, and how the different posts can have different meanings and representation on social media.

    I think this blog did a good job at showcasing a realistic day in the life. I liked how you included yourself in some photos and didn't in others.

    this blog looks nice. i like the choices you made with your food including the pasta but the omelet was lacking. you gotta add potato's with the omelet. your process throughout the day seems very normal and it seems like something i would do.

Unit #1 Draft

Source 1: A Pencil Shop, for Texting the Old-Fashioned Way      The article that was analyzed was the New York Times article “A Pencil Shop, for Texting the Old-Fashioned Way,” written by Molly Young. The article was published in 2015, a source used as not only entertainment but with an educational factor.  She is also trying to show the uniqueness a pencil brings, compared to other writing utensils like a pen. The author's project in this article is to show the historical use of the pencil, but also how over time pencils aren’t as big of a use anymore.  The author compares the use of a pencil to a fax machine, and how both have use but now there are things seen as “better.” When the pencil first came about, it was extraordinary, but over time people do not view the pencil as such. Young is trying to show that the use of the pencil always will have its value, even if it's not recognized by such anymore. This article works for me on the fact that it exp...
