Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Im sure most of you know that a new movie recently came out called "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." It was written and produced by the same people that did movies such as "Superbad" and "Knocked Up" I don't know about you but those are two of my favorite movies. I would encourage all of you to go see the movie as soon as you can. This post I guess goes towards the guys. If you were in his shoes, your girlfriend is leaving you for another man how would you react. I don't want to give the movie away so Ill wait to hear back from those who have seen it. I have a friend whose girlfriends left him for someone else. He found out she had been cheating on him on top of it all. Needless to say he was very upset. Right when he was starting to get over her she came running back. Girls please feel free to explain the speech of how you were dumb and did not realize what you had. I say its all lies but he bought right into it. So my question is this would you have taken her back after all of that or done what had happened in Sarah Marshall. This post is pretty lame, but I dont know what to do about my friend. Shes obviously not right for him.

Teachers Postponing

Why is it that the last few days of school always seem to have more work than the entire semester. This was true in highschool and seems to be true in college. Every class I have has a test or paper due this week only consisting of three days. Thats ridiculous in my opinion. I dont know how everyone else feels, but would like to. I am always curious if teachers time things wrong and end up having to squeeze things in or if its planned. I doubt its planned because they are only squeezing more work in for themselves. The problem however, whatever the reason may be is that it forces us to do sub par work. Instead of having ample time for each test or paper, we have to split amongst five big things. There is no way to have good time management for 4 test and one paper in three days. Im not trying to complain but simply understand why it always seems to happen, year after year. Are you guys as overwhelmed as I am? Do you guys feel that there is more work than can be handled in these three short days? I would love to know. With finals approaching we should be able to focus on that not last minute test we have to cram for. The worst part is this last minute test will somehow find its way right back to the final. I'm not sure where I'm geting bringing this up, I guess I figured I could vent on here. Please let me know if I'm alone or not.

Problems with Forming Sentences

This is not the first time I have heard of this issue. My dad is CEO of Fox Sports Grill and constantly tells me how he has to correct what his employees bring him. He hires them for an impressive resume but does not get the skills to go with it. Basic writing skills have been lost now that there are computers to do the work for you. Spelling has turned to spell check and grammatical issues are pointed out consistantly. This is not a bad thing until people solely rely on this. Some of the examples in the article were ridiculous. Those people should not have a job especially one where they have to write. I feel that all of the rhetoric classes I have gone through have been strenuous and difficult. However when I ask my parents what they did they say it was nothing like mine. So maybe thats the problem. Maybe these issues brought up in this article are referring to an older generation who maybe did not do as much rhetoric in school. Colleges are the hardest they have been to get in so maybe this competitiveness will provide a better education. I'm not saying the previous generation is inept of a good education just proposing a possible reason. Short concise sentences are all that is needed. There is no need to throw in big words just to sound educated. Your work will prove your education not using big words when they are not needed. As college students we forget this because we have been so brainwashed into thinking that big words mean a big grade. We must remind ourselves that this is not the case so that we do not face similar problems as in this article. Rhetoric is important, even if you are a business major.

Is college a crucial part of success?

When it comes to this topic im pretty torn. I have and always will believe that college is a crucial part of your success in life. Not even for the degree anymore but the open doors and connections you get with the degree. I feel that the knowlege you learnis important but more so the key to get you into that door you otherwise would not be able too. However my brother opted out of college and this is where i become torn. Sure I have heard all the stories of the millionares who never went to school and just created some amazing thing, but thats pretty rare. My brother means the world to me and I obviously want him to find success and be happy. So this is the problem. Do I stick with my previous beliefs shutting my brother out from success or do I re-think and hope that it is reachable without college? I have to re-think it. I feel that the passion he has for getting to what he ultimately wants to do is enough to get through. For his sake lets just hope it is.

Tattoos

I was going to write a comment on someone elses blog who wrote on this but i felt like elaborating on mine instead. I agree having 2 tattoos does not always get you good looks with the adults. I don't know about you but from your blog it seems like you are happy with your tattoos and if thats the case thats all that should matter. Tattoos are something you do for you or maybe to honor someone else but never to please other people. Atleast in my opinion. My tattoos mean the world to me and remind me of my friends, family, and my faith. The one on my back is a cross and a verse I got with my bestfriend. Not only is it a bond with him but the verse reminds me of who I aspire to be. On my left arm is an ambigram of the words Loyalty and Betrayal. It also is a theme of one of my favorite verses constantly reminding me to be loyal to my faith and God. So yeah society is changing and yeah we are different from the adults generation but that does not deserve ridicule or bad looks. So for everyone who thinks they are trashy I would challenge you to keep an open mind towards them until you atleast know what they represent. Howeever I will admit many people out there have trashy trashy tattoos and have unfortunately giving tattoos a bad name. So please keep an open mind but if not just remember your bad looks don't bother us but actually remind us why we got them in the first place, to be unique and proud of what you stand for.

Movie Challenge

Many people may assume by the title of my post that Im testing your movie knowledge. This is not the case. My challenge is this. Go see a movie and during the previews try your hardest not to become a movie critic. I can't do it. I don't know about you but I really enjoy seeing a movie for the previews. Previews are taking more and more time and I have never heard one complaint. My question is this; is there anyone out there who does not comment or think in their head a review of the preview they just saw? I know for me that when I see the previews I become a movie critic and instantly judge if I will want to see that particular movie. Most people have probably never thought of this idea but it came to me as I saw a movie 2 nights ago. Movies are an escape especially when you get to become something your not, like a movie critic. Its not the most exciting post but im more curious than anything to see if Im alone or if in fact others do the same as me. Are movies all about the movie or are the previews a big part too?

Argument

Claim: Don't settle for a career you are not passionate about when there are plenty of things you are passioante about in the world.

Reason: You will have more success if you are passionate about it.

Evidence: Studies show that people do better when they have passion for that thing.

Reason: You will feel that you are working twice as hard if you are not passionate about it.

Evidence: the old saying time flies when your having fun is true. If you enjoy what you are doing it will not seem like work.

Reason: You will be overall more happy if added stress from work is not present.

Evidence: No actual evidence yet I just know this to be true for myself
