Seriously, you need to lighten up.

I woke up with the birds that morning, boarded the train that stopped right in Kalamazoo, then I had to call a taxi. Twenty minutes later he showed up, now we’ve all seen those movies where the taxis are yellow and you get in the back seat and address him where you need go. I had never ridden in a taxi before, so I just assumed that’s what I was looking for. No it was a rusty, green, minivan. I got in to see  first observing what the driver looked, he was a large man who smelled as if he had drank to many beers at poker night, the night before and ate to much garlic  bread. His car smelled of smoke and looked as if he had kids with how much food was covering the floor. After getting overcharged I had arrived at the campus….

Common sense is not so common.

Ever have something simple that drives you crazy? I feel like we’re all blessed everyday with that special someone in our life, that you image in your head slapping them with a dead fish. Wither you live with them as your roommate, a friend, or just met them once. My favorite thing to ask someone is “what’s your pet peeve?” We’ll I thought it would be fun to ask everyone at work what their pet peeve is while I check them in. Let’s find out how many things bug people.

1.       People who smack their gum in their mouth with the gum they asked you for.

2.       When guys sag their pants.

3.       Someone saying “Like” too much when talking to them.

4.       When roommate eats your chips and leaves them open to get stale.

5.       Going to do laundry and the coin machine is out.

6.       People who have pet peeves!

7.       When you get the retarded cart at the store

8.       Students who prolong class over the time by asking stupid questions.

9.       Fire Drills during my nap

10.   Teachers who waste my time when they aren’t prepared.

11.    Someone who has a sniffling nose during exams.

12.   Boys who eat like they haven’t eaten in years.

13.    When football players are cocky, and they sit on the bench.

14.   When people wear suits too small.

15.   Walking behind slow walkers when you’re late for class.

What did I tell you last time about not listening?

There lived a young girl, she had always listened to what everyone told her to do, get good grades, clean your room, and go to church. She always followed everyone’s direction when it came to life decisions, what car to buy, what college to go to. Finally one day the girl got sick of listening to what everyone else thought she should do. She finally made the decision to go to a college that was almost four hours away from her town. She was ready to leave by the time, college had arrived. She went four hours away, and was so excited to be on her own for once, no parents telling her what she could and couldn’t do. At first it was a lot for her, she was always taught how to be independent but never required to be independent She thought going off to college was going to be great, free time, doing as she pleased, friends and of course classes.. It’s almost been six months since she’s left home, it has been lots of fun but she never would have thought that a huge reason of picking her college for the distance would become the only reason why she didn’t like it. She learned that making your own decisions are great, however the big ones should take more time and really think about the pros and cons.

When opportunity comes knocking at the door do you answer? What if it requires other things to be put on hold while doing so? I applied to go to NACA National Conference, not exactly thinking I would get in. They only choose four people, because they pay to fly you to North Carolina, and your hotel. So I mainly applied not to have any regrets. Well strange to my surprise I got the honor of attending the conference in Charlotte, North Carolina. Well the only thing slowing down my excitement is of course I would have to have classes that have exams while gone those days. The fact that this is an amazing opportunity made it hard to say no.  So I guess when it comes down to it, I applied so I wouldn’t have any regrets, so I guess I should also go so I don’t have any either! Now to figure out the class crap, hopefully they get a snowday? Haha

Talk less. Say more.

Long ago, in a house just off a river lived a man. He wasn’t the average type of man, he was only born with one tooth, he was taller than average. His name was frank and he had lived alone all his life however the day he was born he was told that he had powers. Frank had the ability to tell when someone’s tooth had fallen out. Well Frank had always been fascinated with teeth ever since he was little and only had one tooth. Frank decided it was going to be his job to go collect these teeth from people after they had thrown them away.  Frank would wait until the child was sleeping and go into their house and get their tooth. Well Frank didn’t like to steal so when taking the tooth he would leave a quarter, just so he felt like he had paid for their tooth.  After a while Frank loved doing this, he had so many teeth! Frank had seen a newspaper one day that explained that kids were beginning to calling him the Tooth fairy! He was so excited it made him feel like he was important. One morning Frank had awoken after a long night of collecting teeth to find a set of wings on his back! Well Frank wasn’t sure why he had wings but later that night when a little boy was asleep he flew to his house in a jiffy and got the tooth. Frank LOVED his wings; he started collecting teeth from all over the place! Frank was bored one day and decided he was going to count all the teeth he had, a few days later he had come to the conclusion that he had collected at least 66,884,585,218,216,155,785,335 teeth. He then realized that maybe counting teeth wasn’t a good idea anymore. Now when you lose a tooth you’re told to leave it under your pillow. Frank will come at night and get your tooth and leave you money!

Hello,
I’m pretty sure I stared at this blank post for about five minutes wondering what I was going to say. Introductions seem to be my least favorite, seems how you always say the general things; your favorite color, animal, tv show or something along those lines. We’ll I don’t have a favorite color, food or T.V show.  I am extremely indecisive about things, I hate picking where to go to eat, or what movie were going to see.  My names Michele Wagner, I’m a freshman in field of nursing (for now anyways). I have a turtle named Fatzilla. I love tennis, fishing, drawing and going to hockey games! 

& I love Oxymorons :)

I read a blog about the pros and cons of working while in college.  The genre would be a blog, I would personally classify it as academic, due to the fact it was informational. The purpose of the blog was to help students realize that benefits and disadvantages of having a job while in college. The blog explains how to pick a job that's going to benefit you in the future. The audience was aimed towards college students, with or without jobs. The stance was informational with a friendly tone. The media is electronic. Design is rather simple with bullet points outlining the facts.
