The Last Blog

Reflecting on this Semester

It's already the end of year, and this is our last blog ever for this semester (I think)

Man, it's been a great semester overall because this being my first semester at college has me loving going to school rather than being home and doing nothing productive. The professors that I have are all chill. Maybe it's because they know they are mostly dealing with freshman but I believe that as we progress and advance in our education, our classes will be more rigorous and the workload will be much greater. 

I know that they are redesigning the whole ASI student union building and adding new restaurants, a pub, and sleeping pods so I am totally looking forward to that when they begin reconstructing next year. The food was alright especially in the Warrior grill but when you're hungry you're gonna eat lol.

The schedule was good because one day I wake up early and the next day I don't so I do not show up to school tired. One of the experiences I am going to miss the most is having tournaments at the game room playing Call of Duty or Super Smash Bros. and smashing everyone lol even though I am not the best player in video games. I am going to miss my tennis class because that was the funnest class I had because tennis is great and who does not love tennis? 

Overall I am going to miss the small classroom environments that I had in my English, Tennis, and Public speaking class and having discussions. I wish I could cover more topics on my blog but because I do not know everyone that is in my English class I will not be covering all topics until I feel comfortable to do them lol.

I will not miss paying for school and for my books and scan trons because that sucks! Also my parking permit I will not miss paying for but I gotta do what I gotta do! The campus is really beautiful btw.

What really stood out to me this whole semester were the friendships that I have made in every class that I am in except my History and Government class because those are huge classes with a lot of students in them. This was a first great semester at CSU Stan and I hope that I will see and make more new friends this next coming semester.

Veterans Day

Thank You Veterans 

They rarely ever get recognized except this time of the year.  

Most of us sometimes are not even grateful for the freedoms that we have today and that we can enjoy today. It saddens me how we act as if our freedom doesn't come at a cost  and can act like spoiled brats with our freedom. Many people from other countries wish they had the freedom that we have here in the United States and are trying to get here. If any veteran reads this blog, (which I doubt will lol)  thank you for your service and for risking your life for our freedom.

This last Sunday our church hosted a veteran service which we honored all veterans from the Vietnam War all the way into the Iraq war. Despite the controversies from the wars, we were still grateful that they fought with purpose for this country.  I saw the faces of the veterans and you could see that they've gone through a lot. It is said that many of them come back with post war diseases and disabilities that did not allow them to live a life full of enjoyment after. Their minds are troubled and cannot sometimes even sleep at night especially for the 4th of July.

Imagine what the spouse has to go through? Dealing with the pain that their spouse will not return the same or worse, will not return back to their children. I have mad respect for veterans because of what they put themselves through for the national security of this country.

If you see a veteran, say thank you because you never know what they go through everyday. Who knows, maybe they come back with no house or are disabled and can't get a job. I hope we can appreciate these men and women who have given their lives for this country and for our freedoms.

Thank you veterans

May God bless you & God bless America 

Election Day

'Merican Election 

I really really really really really really really really hate politics with a weird passion. I like discussing politics but I hate that I do in general. Why? Because politics is so divisive and it can break or make new friendships. Like I have this friend on Facebook that is a big ol Trump supporter after Ted Cruz decided to not continue running for president. However, there are some people that cannot handle other people's opinions. One guy commented, "Dude, are you really a Trump Supporter? Just unfriend me now" and then my friend commented "Done". Like wow, I thought people would be tolerant of other people's opinions.

I honestly cannot wait until this election cycle is over because everything from my IG, Facebook, and even YouTube is filled with people mocking presidential candidates especially Donald Trump. I also noticed that many of my friends on Facebook are very political when you would think that they're not into politics! Man, was I wrong

I personally do not care for who you vote for but other people who passionately hate Donald Trump cannot stand someone who supports Trump. What makes me so mad is that on YouTube there has been videos posted of people causing chaos and fighting people all cause they hate Trump. There was a Trump rally in San Jose and man, people that were trying to leave the parking garage and that were Trump supporters were being harassed, punched, kicked, and their cars were being scratched, kicked, puncturing wheels. My response to this is "Animals." Despite these people being of Hispanic and Black descent, I do not agree nor do I condone this mob minded behavior. I thought that Hillary & Bernie supporters would be the peace type of people, but man was I wrong. (This isn't to say that Trump supporters are always peaceful because Trump supporters can get violent as well) I found out that it was quite the opposite. 

There was also an instance where a homeless woman was protecting Trump's star in Hollywood's hall of fame after being destroyed and crowds of people were bullying here and taking her stuff that she had. It honestly broke my heart and pissed me off that people could be so intolerant. I hate race baiting politics as well which is politics where if I am of one race, I have to agree with the majority of my races opinions. So for example, a black person does not support black lives matter is a bigot and a deplorable.

Honestly guys, what I am trying to say is that we are in college and don't be acting like savages if you do not agree with someone politically. It is a sign of immaturity and you look like a 5 year old. Don't waste your parents money and governments aid to act like an intolerant 20 year old who acts like you're 10. Please. We can do this in a civil manner. As for now however, go out and vote tomorrow! I'll link the video of the homeless lady being attacked by a group of people:
