Making a blog about liking or disliking something will be hard for me since I'm a very easygoing person when it comes to rating things, so, if don't like something, or really in this case your blog then you are probably doing something wrong. But I digress.

The first blog that I liked was the Blonde Abroad. What This blog is about is a travel and lifestyle blog that is run by a woman named Kiersten. I enjoyed reading her blog because it's pretty well-organized and easy to navigate. The blog is mostly divided into different categories like travel, lifestyle, and photography, which makes it really easy to find what you’re looking for. The format of the blog is really clean and in other ways modern, with lots of beautiful images that really capture the essence of the places she visits. I also liked the author’s purpose for the blog which is to inspire women to travel more and to live their best life. Her writing style is really charming and relatable in a sense, and she involves a lot of helpful tips and advice for people who travel quite a lot. In all honesty, I thought this was a good blog and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves to travel.

The blog that I ended up not liking was Billboard. This blog covers stuff like music news and entertainment, that covers the latest news, events, podcasts, and music streaming. While I liked the author’s purpose of keeping readers up to date on economic news or even interviews with these top entrepreneurs, I found the blog to be very cluttered or almost messy and difficult to navigate. The format of the blog is very busy, with lots of ads and pop-ups that make it hard to focus on a lot of the content posted. Though, I found her writing style to be very dry and unengaging, which made it hard to stay interested in the articles. In a lot of ways, I would not really recommend this blog to anyone who is looking for a good source of music news or even entertainment.

In conclusion, blogs are a really great way to share a lot of information and connect with others who share similar stuff. There are many great blogs out there, it’s important to try and find ones that are a little more well-organized, interesting, and easy to navigate. I hope this blog post has helped give you some ideas for someone who is making their own blog.

Entry #10 Uh, I'm Getting Paid for This Right?

Image
 Hello, everyone. This will be my last Blog Post for English 102, maybe even ever. I'll be delving into why I, as a college student-athlete, and many others like me should be paid. As a college student-athlete, I am constantly juggling between my academics and my sport. And believe me, it's not an easy feat. Not only do I have to maintain good grades, but I also have to train for hours every day to stay at the top of my game. But despite putting in so much hard work and dedication, I don't get paid for contributing to my college's team. And I know I am not alone in this struggle. The debate on whether college athletes should be paid has been going on for years now. And it's a topic that not only affects us student athletes, but also has a significant impact on the larger community. That's why I want to use this platform to share my thoughts on why college athletes should be paid. First and foremost, college sports have become a billion-dollar industry. From tick...

Entry #3 CNN "Violent" Article Analysis

Image
  For this blog post, I stumbled upon an interesting example of slanted reporting in this article from CNN. It really highlights the importance of understanding media bias and its impact on an audience.  CNN removes description of Wisconsin protests as “violent” (studentnewsdaily.com) This article is about CNN removing a description of the Wisconsin protests as "violent." This incident sheds light on the rhetoric used by media outlets and the potential uses of biased reporting. The report begins by stating that CNN had included the word "violent" in their article about the protests in Wisconsin but eventually removed it without any explanation. This raises a lot of questions about the credibility of the source because it shows a lack of accountability for their own reporting. It also opens up the possibility of a hidden agenda behind the use of the word "violent."  Actual Photo from Riot. Photo Credit Unknown. If were going to have an analysis of the rheto...

Entry #6 Double Diamond Ranching.

Image
 What does it take to be a rancher? Well, in my opinion, not a whole lot. It probably takes about two or three things, maybe more: a truck, barbwire, some more barbwire, hay, and A LOT more hay. So like I said, ranching is not super hard. The only hard parts are the heat and running cattle all over the place. I myself have never liked ranching a whole lot due to doing it my entire life, so in my case, it's really not even ranching anymore. It's just an everyday occurrence. Now, what goes into ranching? Well, you got your cattle to either slaughter for some meat to feed your family or several families; you have your hogs to breed and to either sell off or butcher; you got your horses, chickens, goats, and even llamas if you're really weird. But you're probably asking, "Drake, what are you trying to get at here?" Well, I will take you through a short day of ranching. We've already gotten through the simple things, not we get into the tedious things, the crap...
