Weather 2011: The Year of Weirdness

Isn't this year a little strange to you? Think about it...tornadoes in New England, Hurricane Irene delaying school and now snow. I mean Southern New England has snow with places in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.  Scientifically this is global warming taking its toll on New England and other regions. Texas had an experience of 70 plus days of heatwave exposure.  Massachusetts had a few tornadoes and had a few deaths caused in the region of Springfield Ma.  Now the snow has certain parts of New England without power and looking at Rhode Island and Massachusetts, they had the record of the 6.6 inches in the area.  Along New England, there are accidents among the streets where trees are down and much much more.

These are photos of the snow falling on October 29th 2011.  It is typical for New Hampshire to experience snow early. As I recall, the first time I saw snow in New Hampshire was around this time especially when ski resorts start making snow around here. It is amazing to have a short fall and turn to winter within the span of one month. For common sense, always have winter clothes available, have a working generator and above all expect the unexpected.

Halloween & Horrorfest: The Time to Not be Yourself

Its the time of year where children run to houses and say "trick or treat". Yup that's right folks, Halloween is back and with a twist. I dressed up yesterday as zombie Snooki on Saturday at Berlin's Horrorfest and it was fun. I have scared a few people from that time but it was hard to become a zombie.  From the costume to the makeup, it was certainly an experience I will enjoy next year!  I personally thank the people for having me and my friends volunteer for this event. Honestly it is the best way to dress as someone you would not be in a million years.

I loved dressing up as a zombie because I would not do this any other day of the year. Nobody would ever expect me to dress like a zombie and they know I'm a conservative person normally (I don't follow trends and other interesting things involving pop culture though I talk about it a lot). This was good especially for the people who wanted to achieve their business goal. This holiday gives people a chance on how not to be yourself. I have to say being a character all day is tiring especially w

From the business aspect from this weekend, Horrorfest was able to generate enough revenue on their budget next year. There was about 900 people who entered Horrorfest and about half were scared.  This is great especially when the ideas for next year will be better and more thematic for new people to scare.



Happy Halloween  ^_^

Argumentation: How it works for me

Everyone has problems...everyone fights and that introduces to my next topic of Common Sense blog is the art of arguments.  Many people argue in many ways to claim that they have the right to claim truth or fail to comply in the overall argument. Here are 5 ways to compose yourself and showing a strong point of interest:

1. Identify: This idea is key to know whether you picked a battle that is of your interest or not.

2. Know: You must be able to know your information and provide your retrieval information.

3. Demonstrate:  Examples are a must if you want people on your side.

4. Your Gut: This is most important in the overall argumentation segment. Without it people would not identify what is right and what is wrong in their own eyes (common sense would not apply to our everyday lives).

5: Be Natural: Showing natural expression will give people the sense that this person arguing is demonstrating and explaining why the person is here.

College Years: Is it Easier than High School? (My Point of View)

As you know college is one of the most important years of any person's lifetime. For me I felt a true aura as I entered college back in 2009. Sure I'm a junior now and not yet a graduate however I feel more enlightened and passionate about my future career.  In high school however, I was struggling and personally didn't feel to confident in myself as everyone said "College is harder now than this place!"

I personally disagree with people when they say college is hard. It is common for me to have more free time and this point I usually have a relaxation day and do a little classwork early for more stress relief.  I also have more opportunities to put myself on the map for I have more involvement in the media clubs at Plymouth than at my high school.  In high school everyone knew I had more spirit than the head cheerleader, but they did not know how television and media were of my interest.  College to me is easier for this provided more knowledge to write proper essays and discovered how education before college was difficult to follow for I had an IEP with reading and writing.  I never had a care in the world to read books and that resulted under 2 reading levels in English class and using a lot of fragments in sentences.

There are many people who would agree as there are people who disagree. Many believe college is hard because they excelled in high school and the assignments were too easy. Many can also think about time management and how there are lots of opportunities within a short time span.  I can easily say this is the best time to finally educate and actually learn about morality in any subject for not only my personality evolved from a shy freshman to a dedicated junior who is truly more confident in herself academically and socially.
