5 years pt2

Last Final.
It is the last final of my senior year. I have been studying for this exam like no exam before. I am sitting in the classroom fifteen minutes early like always looking over my notes for some last minute preparation. I feel pretty confident about how i am going to preform on this exam but I can't help but feel nervous.

The last straggler walks into the room just in time. As the professor hands out the exams I am feeling more nervous than ever. My hands are starting to feel clammy. I take a look at the exam and take a deep breath, i'm ready.

As I fill in the last question on the exam, and check to see if I answered all the questions, I feel confident. The last final is over. No more studying. No more reviewing flashcards. Now we just hope that my gut feeling is right and that I killed the last exam.  


Graduation day 2020
This attire is familiar, I haven't worn a cap and gown since high school graduation. I am having flashbacks of looking around the gymnasium at Villanova and seeing my classmates, friends and family. I remember the looks on there faces, they were excited for the new beginnings and proud of the past accomplishments.  As I finish getting ready I walk out of my apartment hoping to see the same looks from friends and family.

I arrived at the Liacours center right on time. I found where I needed to be so I would be in alphabetical order. While I wait for the ceremony to begin I see where my parents are sitting. I can see there faces, excited and proud. then we walk in.

As I look around at everyone wearing there caps and gowns I take a moment to realize that the college experience is over. Its been a rough couple over years but today is the day. All the late nights spent in the studio have paid off. All the friends in my class trying to take in the last moments like me. You can see all of the excitement on everyones faces. On to a new chapter in life, hopefully just as good as this one.


Moving
Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to live at the beach. Now this dream is becoming a reality. I have been saving up and researching for a few years now and can't wait to get away from the east coast winter weather. I am going to miss it. Oh yeah no i'm not.

I've packed up all that needs to make the journey with me to my new home in Venice California. Clothes, check, Furniture, check, plane ticket, check. As I lift the last box into the moving van I take a moment to look at the dead, cold landscape. I am really not going to miss this at all. I hoped into my car and drove to the airport, next stop sunny California.

As i got off the plane the seventy degree weather felt so great. Too bad it was raining, so much for sunny California huh. I get to my new apartment, which is located a block or two away from the beach, and I start to unpack. Once I get everything I need unpacked I looked outside. It was sunny and drying up by the second. I grabbed my skateboard and went for the first cruise around my new neighborhood.

In five years I would like to have my teaching degree or at least just be finishing my last semester. I wish to be living in Philadelphia with a steady income job and after i get my degree i would like to move out to Long Beach, California for a few years to live a relaxed lifestyle teaching art. I would wish to be living happy and healthy, getting in many beach days and warm winters.

Radical!


Alternative facts

In my opinion Alternative facts are not facts at all. They are the opinions that these officials want us to believe are true. The pictures of the crowd sizes are real pictures compared side by side from a reliable source however the Trump administration called the photos a inaccurate representation of the crowd size. the administration then said “This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration—period—both in person and around the globe.” which was a lie. We also know that Trumps aids lied about Trump writing his own inaugural speech.  The fact that the president of the United States can lie about these things and no one seems to truly care just backs up what the previous article said. That millennials are afraid to voice there own opinion but the ones that do are just posting about it on the internet and not taking action.

My So Called Opinion response

In the first part of the article the writer is saying that millennials have been born into "pluralism" which is described by the writer as " a cultural recognition of difference: individuals of varying race, gender, religious affiliation, politics and sexual preference, all exalted as equal." This is what he believes is keeping millennials from forming there own beliefs and instead making them choose to be politically correct. This has lead him to ask if what we are learning in the classroom is going to make it harder for us millennials to make our own judgements in the real world. 
In part two he talks about how there is no such thing as a true fact there is always someones opinion or outlook on the subject they are writing or talking about. Which i believe in a sense is true, you can't just watch one news outlet without getting a little bit of their take on the subject. But some facts are simply facts. if 45,000 people were at a baseball game there were 45,000 people at the baseball game end of story. He also says that when throughly questioned many people can't stand by the phrase "I like what I like". I think that this statement is completely false because everyone is going to have their own opinion about what they like. Some people might like it for one reason while others hate it for the same reason. 
In part three he continues saying that millennials are afraid to call people different or separate individuals. He concludes the article saying that millennials are "crippled by indecision and hope to one day boldly stake out our own claims, without trepidation." I feel like most millennials are just trying to find their opinions still and they are more open to change which is not a negative thing. I feel like the past generations have been so closed minded that they would never give things a chance and that is what is different about us millennials.
