What is something I would never give up? QW

One thing I would never give up is my happiness. I am striving to be successful and make money when I get older but if I have to lose myself in the process I would rethink what I am doing. My mental health/sanity is very important to me because I know what it feels like to be lost and down. So I will always try my best to remain happy and never give that up.

Do you believe in regrets? QW

I do believe in regrets. I feel like sometimes we make decisions when we’re younger and look back and wonder why we decided to make the chose that we did. I have many regrets, some being small and others being big. For instance, I regret straightening my hair when I was younger, I regret not wearing my retainers, I regret not doing dual enrollment in high school. I regret not being there for people or being as close. Regrets can weigh a lot or they can be small and weigh a little. Either way yes, I believe in regrets.

In the News Joker

The creator of a film should not have to take full responsibility of the controversy of the film itself as long as there is viewer discretion and a proper rating done prior. In addition the rating should be done by people who's jobs is to rate films.

Favorite show quick write

My favorite show would have to be elite, it is a show on Netflix in Spanish and it is very interesting. The drama is nothing too crazy, but also it has the murder/mystery aspect to it. I enjoy watching scary/mystery investigation type of shows and Elite is perfect.

In the News QW Taste Enhancers

The FDA should have stricter regulations for taste enhancers and they're should be better alternatives. Bringing awareness is important because many people do not know of the negative effects of sweeteners and simply just trust the packaging, such as myself. Regulating the amount of supplements and finding better ways to create these sweeteners is important.

In the News QW Suicide Prevention

I feel like these type of interventions will have an impact in the long run because it could stop someone from harming themselves. Someone may feel as though they are alone but with these calls and interventions they would know that they aren't alone and there is always someone to help. Gun safety procedures such as locks and socks would also have an impact in the long run.

In the news QW Cleaner Oceans

I do believe it is an individual as well as collective responsibility to work towards cleaner oceans. Everyone would be involved in cleaning up the mess they helped create. Whether it is picking up garbage here and there, if everyone picks up pieces of trash when they see it that's millions even billions of pieces that can be reduced. Something that I do to work towards having a cleaner ocean in recycling and not littering. I believe it is important to keep this Earth clean because it is the only one we have.

In the News QW

It is difficult to say that the west European countries should do something and exactly what they should do. In addition, the U.S already is holding tariffs against China. I am not too familiar with the diplomatic affairs between the two place however something should be done to stop the killing and injuries. Within China themselves the should continue to fight for what they believe or what they feel is right, doing so in a peaceful way.

In the New QW Climate Change

Climate change is definently more important than the money and fairy tells of economic growth because if our ecosystem dies, if our air is heavy polluted and if toxins are everywhere, the economy won't even matter. As Greta said in her speech we will be extinct. Human bodies will not be healthy enough to survive and our earth as we know it will be completely damaged. Humans will not be able to adapt so quickly as well as the animals so using all resources to save the planet and prevent a worsening of this climate change is important for that economic growth they are anticipating on. Things that can be done is spreading the importance and teaching people the simple everyday acts they can do to help. Stop factories from emitting these toxins, as well as Carpool or use electric cars or public transportation so less cars are on the road.

Some people may just see this picture as a picture of a laptop and papers thrown inside of a car; however, to me I see it as my peaceful place. I turn this area into my little office between classes if I need to finish a last minute assignment away from people. My car is somewhere that I can be alone as well as a place where I feel comfortable. Sometimes I even put up the sun shader, and that mixed with my dark tints means no one can see inside. Here I can escape from any outside noises as well as people. When I’m in my car I can blast my music to correspond to my mood and just be in my own world so I can focus on writing or reading. The music that I typically play would be R&B because it allows me to concentrate better and it is also relaxing. In between the majority of my classes, I spend most of my time in my car finishing assignments for my next class. I choose to go to my car most days because I can recline back in my seat and adjust the AC to the temperature I feel is comfortable. I also enjoy being able to complete work in my car because I am able to park it where there is a nice scenery, for instance there is a park near my house with nice hills called Vista View Park, this is where I can listen to my music while enjoying the view and completing my assignments. Especially around the evening hours during sunset is when I the view is beautiful. Another scenery I can enjoy reading to is the beach. Parking with a view of the ocean and not being in the hot sun is perfect. Depending on the scenery I park my car in helps determine what work I’ll be doing or what I would be writing about. If it’s a rainy or gloomy day I would typically be reading meaningful sad topics while a beautiful scenery would lead to me reading or writing happy content.

This picture is on the second floor of the UC, I call this area “the cubicles”. This is currently where I’m doing this assignment and where I spend most mornings on my laptop because the UC is very empty and quick; perfect for me to complete work. These cubicles are where I can just relax and do my work and it is also a spot for people to take naps. Although I have not personally taken a nap here yet I've seen several people push the two cushions together and nap. This area is hard to find spaces to sit in due to the fact there are only fours cubicles, so when I see an open one I am quick to grab it.

This is the Flight Decks backyard located on the NSU campus. I mainly come here on Wednesday or Friday’s because that’s when I have the most time in between classes. I am here from 11am-3pm most days and I really enjoy sitting under the canopy because it is shaded and protects you from the sun's rays. Most people believe that it would be too hot to work outside but surprisingly between the fans and the shade it is relaxing and refreshing. When I am sitting out here I get happy vibes; therefore, I would be doing assignments I enjoy such as writing in my journal for my UNIV class, or doing little cute doodles. There is always the NSU radio playing music on the speakers and it helps to create a good mood.

My bedroom is definitely my number one comfort space. I love lights and although I do not do my work under purple lighting, this is my favorite color to have it on because it matches my room. I also have the curtain lights which add some more “aesthetic” to my room, hence the sticker added on the photo of the textbook. When I'm in my room doing work I typically light a candle turn on the LED strip light to a white light, sit up on my bed and get started.

In the News QW #6

I feel as though “Vsco girls” are a current trend for this generation of artsy young girls just like “Tumblr girls” were an artsy girl trend back in 2013-2015. I don't feel it will continue far into the future, but rather a different terminology would be used. Tik Tok on the other hand will definitely continue to be a popular app and will be very successful in the future. To say that it will become the next instagram is a reach because Instagram is doing very well; however, it will be successful.

In the News QW #5

Access to guns should definitely be regulated because the average person does not need an assault rifle to protect themselves in their house or on the street. Guns in most cases are used to protect yourselves and a gun that large, such as the ones in mass shootings are unnecessary. Even in the case of hunters or people who say they need large guns for hunting should only own rifles for instance, not full on automatic AR-15′s. So yes, guns should be regulated and some should not even be should to the average human.

In the News Qw #4

The best way to maintain a healthy lifestyle is to make sure to most importantly eat healthy. I feel as though a healthy lifestyle is more than just eating it is also about happy and healthy relationships and a positive state of mind. Something I do to make sure I have a healthy lifestyle is I spend time out with my friends and I have fun, but I also make time for the gym and constantly being active. I also balance in days of self care where I will lay down relax, do a face mask, and take time to better myself

Before/After

I added an overlay of the word “peace” as well as palms. I used the word peace because my car is a place I can go for peace and quiet. I also cooled the picture down a little.

Before/After

I simply added a glitch effect to indicate technology sometimes glitches and included stickers of pop up errors and messages to show the technological side of the photo. The quote “golden state of mind” is also included because when I sit out here on a sunny warm day I get good vibes. Hence the yellow/ happy hues of the photo.

Before/After

I included the sticker “it’s for the aesthetic” because I think the lights in my room and overall set up is aesthetic. And the cloud stickers are there for a night time bedroom feel. I also brightened the color of my room to make it a little more purple and fun.

Before/After

I wanted to put a graffiti overlay and a fun color scheme for these photos because the UC at Nova is full of a lot of different colors and I thought I’ll show that side in the photo. I also cooled down the tone of the photo.

QW in the news #3

In the college scandal I feel that the parents went that far to get their children  into these colleges because of both their status and their want for their child to get a good education. Since they are rich and famous they have the ability to bribe proctors and college admission employees without concern anyone will find out. They feel money can get people through anything and in turn figured they could pay their child’s way to success. I also feel they wanted to allow their children to get a good education at an elite school because they do have a reputation to uphold. The headline “celebrity stars child accepted into Ivy League” is a good headline to maintain relevance.
