Dear future readers,      At the beginning of the semester, I thought I had a pretty good grasp on how to be an effective writer. I learned a lot of new skills as a writer in my first year writing class. However, this year I honed the skills I learned from the first semester and became a much better writer.      Coming into college writing, I was pretty much stuck on the basic layout for an essay, and most of the ones I did write were pretty bland and non creative. However, I enjoyed writing more in this class than most of my other writing classes I've had before. The work seemed to be a little less challenging because most of the issues I wrote about were real world problems that I had genuine interest in. I feel this reflected in the quality of my work as well.      Before I came into college writing class, It was nearly impossible to write more than a two whole pages. Now, two pages seems like It's never enough. My informative and surprising paper was easily six pages and

hulu and spotify

last summer, Spotify had an offer to get premium for 4 dollars for 3 months if you were a college student. This was quite possibly the best offer they've ever had and they made it even better at the beginning of this year. They added hulu for free onto the offer. It is very nice to have hulu added on because I didn't have netflix or anything like it. I finally got to watch some shows that ive been wanted to see. However, hulu is not nearly as good as netflix. Hulu has a third the shows netlfix does and the ones that hulu has are incomplete. Hulu tends to miss the newer seasons of shows that aren't as main stream. But, can I really complain if its added on for free?

can i get an outlaw

It's odd to see a new artist like Luke Combs to produce a song like can I get an outlaw, especially with this song this early in his career. The reason being is that this song doesn't fit the usually format for new singers due to its aggressive nature. Luke Combs seems to take shots at new country artist for their lack of creativity past the point of trucks, women, and cracking some cold ones. Overall, I love the song and as Combs said, "where have the rebels gone?"

snapchat update

A few weeks ago, snapchat updated their app. They completely changed the layout of the app and literally everyone hated it. People hated it so much that they started a petition to change the app back to the previous format. The petition gained nearly a million signatures and there was word that snapchat was going to change the format back. However, they never did and we're still stuck with the new format. I will say however that snapchat is trying out a better format with certain people, and it is much more user friendly than the previous update. Hopefully they will apply the better format to everyone soon.

Im currently almost done with my final project. Im just stuck on what to do after the surprising view and how to end it. I'm trying to also keep up of my blogs as well. I currently have 9ish done so i'm not too far off. The examples given help a lot though, I'm just having trouble translating it to my work.

trains and why I hate them

On the days that i'm running late, or when I have to be somewhere important, a train never fails to go right in front of me. Its honestly stupid, it happens at least once a week. one time there was a train stopped on the tracks and I had to backtrack over THREE MILES to get around it. long story short, I was a little late for class. It's even come to the point where I just turn my jeep off to save on fuel.

free write 4/13/18

I'm currently confused on the format and how the essay should look. I'm not sure if I should do analysis that shows how the two view points are different or if I should basically cut and copy the essays I have now and add them into the final paper. Some samples would be very helpful at this time because as of right now I haven't really done anything with the final paper because I have no idea what to do.
