This article showed many valid points. Brent Staples should have every right in being angry with the way he was treated.  Most of the incidents he stated in this article happened in the 70’s and 80’s but I am sure they are still happening in the world today.  I couldn’t imagine walking down the street and having someone literally run away from me because of the way that I look.  I can’t even pretend to know how that feels because nothing like that has ever happened to me.  It has to be tough to grow up and keep away from trouble, attend college, and still be thought of as a mugger, rapists, or worse just because you were walking down a street at night. 

I thought this article was very interesting.  Anorexia and Bulimia is a huge problem in America.  Seeing that first hand by working in a hospital would make anyone realize that.  I do believe that the media plays a huge role in people becoming anorexic or bulimic.  I also believe that the media world will never change or at least it won’t in my lifetime.  Rape is also a big problem.  I found it shocking that in a case Amy talked about where a patient’s boyfriend made her have with five of his friends on a frequent basis.  I can’t being a yound teen and put in that position.  I find it amazing for victims to pull through and continue their life.  I know it takes a lot of work and I’m not sure I would be able to do that.  Amy Beck wrote an amazing article and showed us many important things that I normally don’t think in any given day.

I thought “The Truth about M&Ms” was a great story.  I believe it is a fair description of a class.  In every class you’ll have the krispie, plain, and peanut type of m&m.  Reading this story made me wonder what kind of m&m I am.  For this class I believe I would fall under the plain type.  I do want to learn to write better but I also am just wanting to get by.  Although in my algebra class I am probable the krispie type.  I have found myself falling so far behind in that class I dont know if I will ever come out with a passing grade.  Hopefully I will cool down on the partying on friday and saturday nights and maybe just sit at home and do so much needed homework.  Lets just hope I pass my class and hopefully next class I have I can be the peanut type.

My spring break wasn’t as fun as I wanted it to be.  During the week off I didn’t absolutely nothing but work from 4 to midnight, Monday through Thursday.  On friday however, I decided to call in and hang out with some buddies. We hung out all day and planned to go see the movie 300.  It didn’t happen.  We partied instead and had a lot of fun.  The next day we woke up at about noon.  I wasn’t feel good at all.  I might have partied a little too hard the night before.  When we woke up we went to eat at perkins.  I didn’t eat much of my food for a good reason.  After we were done eating we went back to my buddies house where I passed out until five in the afternoon.  When I woke up I pretty much sat around until about 9 when we went and got something to eat.  At about 10:30 we decided to start partying again.  We went to a party and got pretty messed up.  I believe we got back home at about 6 a.m.   I again slept my day away by waking up at 2 in the afternoon on Sunday.  Sunday was a pretty bad day.  I was tired and didn’t want to do anything.  Well that was recap of the most exciting part of my spring break.  Hopefully next year I will be somewhere warm.  I would like to be in Cancun, Mexico.
