My Thanksgiving Success
Seeing as how yesterday was Thanksgiving, I feel it would only be appropriate to blog about how I spent the holiday. My Turkey Day this year was different from previous years for one reason in particular. This year I actually did some of the cooking! In the past, I have had the privilege of having all of the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberries etc…. cooked and prepared for me, and...

Breaking down the BRIC
I must admit that writing my first field assignment for Reporting II was actually quite an enjoyable experience. I reported on the new Bronco Recreation and Intramural Complex (BRIC), which is currently in the process of being built and is set to open in the Fall of 2014. By taking on this story, not only was I able to learn a lot about the new construction process, but I was also able to gain an...

KABC
On Monday evening my Videography class had the opportunity to take a tour of KABC, the Southern California television news network. The trip was very enlightening for a number of reasons, but mostly because I have often pondered the idea of becoming a news anchor one day. Now that I have seen for myself how a news network runs first-hand, I think I have a much better idea of what I would be...

Some Days.............
If there is one thing that life has taught me it’s that some days just don’t go as you anticipate. Some days your alarm doesn’t go off, you get a car window that won’t roll up, and you end up spending over $500 that you can’t afford.
I am currently sitting in the lobby of a Honda service center, wishing I was absolutely anywhere else in the world. Since I have more...

Gym Junkie
As children, we all have superheros that we look up to. Mine happened to be the seven members of the 1996 US Women’s Olympic Gymnastics Team. The gymnasts on the team were know as the Magnificent Seven, and unlike Batman and Superman, they could actually fly.
The Magnificant Seven made history by becoming the first team to win the Gold Medal for the United States in the Women’s Team...

Princess Trista: A healthier start to summer →
tristademuth:
Being back in school feels so weird. It is as if so much time has passed since the first year I came here in 2009, yet feels like no time has passed at all. For my first blog I wanted to write about something that is one of my proudest accomplishments. When coming to college I was used to home…
Looking great Trista, as always! I have been meaning to jump on the “get...

Trials and Tribulations
Today I turned 23 years old, and I can hardly believe how it seems like just yesterday I was playing with barbies and watching reruns of “Full House.” I don’t know what it is about turning a year older, but my birthday always tends to bring about a certain sense of nostalgia, and I cannot help but reflect on my younger years.
My childhood memories are made up of many trips to the hospital....

Obsessed
1) Colorado-This one is obvious due to the fact that it’s my hometown, but aside from that, the state is remarkable. It has it all- the beautiful Rockies, one of the greatest outdoor amphitheaters in the world (Red Rocks), all of the seasons, and the nicest/most genuine people alive. GO THERE if the opportunity ever presents itself. You will not regret it.
2) Spelling -Fortunately I was...

Everything Happens for a Reason
As I begin to embark on my final couple quarters at Cal Poly Pomona, I cannot help but reflect on the potpourri of the unexpected and life-changing occurrences that have taken place over the course of the last year and a half. As a transfer student to CPP from Marymount College in Rancho Palos Verdes, my life goals were a very far cry from what they now are today. I transferred to Cal Poly with...

iLife
The truth has sudden made itself crystal clear: Cell phones, the internet, and our most recent “status updates” are taking all of us further and further away from reality and the present moment. As I people-watched on campus today I had an epiphany— By constantly trying to stay connected, we are unconsciously loosing touch with reality. The pricelessness of the moments that are happening all...

"Romance" / "Comedy"
I have just the subjected myself to watching the first romantic comedy that I have seen in what feels like a decade or more, and I was instantly reminded as to why this is my least favorite type of movie genre. The following is a list I have complied to sort my thoughts:
If there is one word that defines romantic comedies it definitely has to “predictable.” The guy gets the girl, then he loses...

Honestly. -B: Trends that went tooooooo far →
castro-brianna:
Lately I have been thinking about how some trends have gone too far. It is really fun to be addicted to a new app until the creators start getting carried away. Or when fashion trends get carried away.
Here are a couple of trends that have gone wild:
1.) Nail art. I know most girls will kill me…
I think your perspective on this is pretty on point. Luckily I don’t...

Neutral Milk Hotel makes Teenage Dream Come True
Neutral Milk Hotel is that one band that has always had a way of guiding me through life. One of the beauties of musical lyrics, is that they have a way of making you realize the reasons behind why life is worth living; I think that Neutral Milk Hotel played a role in helping me appreciate that. Two of their albums— In an Aeroplane Over the Sea and On Avery Island had a particularly strong...
Life gets mighty precious, when there’s so...

Give me excess of it; that surfeiting,...”

youngjoolee: My Gym →
youngjoolee:
Whenever someone asks me where I work, there’s always an awkward moment. I work at My Gym and people assume I’m referring to a gym that I go to. However, it’s nothing like that. The entire name of where I work is “My Gym Children’s Fitness Center”. Then, after I explain that I work at a children’s…
Wow, this is such a coincidence! I also work at a gymnasium! I love my job as...
