Study Tip #3

After my first midterms, I found that a great way to study is to type your notes in class while the teacher lectures and review them after when you get home. I used to just review them right before the exam, but it was not helping because I was not grasping all the information. By reviewing the notes right when I get home, it helps me retain all the information better, instead of trying to memorize and cram everything right before the next exam. I also read the chapter that relates to the notes I took that day.

Music Memories #2

For this assignment, I interviewed my parents.

Dad's response: As a teenager, he listened to soft rock such as the British band, The Shadows. He also enjoyed listening to the guitar band, The Ventures, and of course the most popular band, The Beatles. However, these are just a few of many bands he finds pleasuring listening to. He still loves listening to these bands from time to time and it will never get old to him. The most modern band he likes is The Eagles. He did not attend any concerts because he was living in Vietnam. He enjoyed listening to them through movies and the TV.

Mom's response: As a teenager, she only knew of the most popular bands since she was also living in Vietnam. She liked listening to The Beatles and The Beach Boys with her friends. However, she found most pleasure in French music. French music will always be her favorite; she still listens to it today. My mom's idol was the famous pop French singer, Sylvie Vartan. Although, she wanted to attended many concerts, she did not have the ability to do so.

Overall, both of my parents love music =)!

Music List #3

1. Slipknot- Spit it out
This song is too angry. It gives me a big fat headache. I hate screaming music.

2. Unearth- Zombie Pilot
My boyfriend always plays this song in the car and drives me crazy. All that screaming puts me in a bad mood. I cannot find pleasure in this type of music.

3. Sugarland- Very Last Country Song
I actually do not know any country songs because I do not even bother listening to it. However, I youtubed "popular country songs" and this one popped up. I clicked on it and realized why I do not like country music so much. It is so boring and their voices are so whiny. It is annoying!

4. Lil Wayne- A Milli
Lil Wayne's noise is just flat out annoying. He has no talent whatsoever! His music is just horrible.

5. Chuckie Akenz- You Got Beef?
I cannot stand this Asian guy. Chuckie Akenz is an Asian rapper that tries to act "hardcore." His music is pointless and stupid.

Talking About Sex...

I think as a freshman in college, it is really common for us to face sexual pressures. I think many college students want to have sex to fit in or to look cool, but in some cases, students do not have self-control. Students do not think before their actions.

I think losing one's virginity is a huge deal. One should be really firm about one's decision. I think students should respect themselves and their bodies. Students should really think about their decision about having sex before doing so. I believe students or anybody should have sex only to the one they really care about and trust. However, I do not believe students should "google" someone, I think students should get to know the person for themselves before students make their judgment about someone or even deciding to lose it to that person.

My advice to students younger than me is that students should always think before their actions. Students should also always respect themselves and their bodies. Mainly, make smart and wise decisions.
