A very big controversy in America today is whether or not Marajuana should be legal.
Well here is my theory...
First off, I feel that if it was legalized then crime rates would possibly go down. No more killings, nor more sneaking around, and no more thefts.
Second, the government could tax marajuana like crazy and even make a tax for people to grow it in their own homes. I mean they give it to people in hospitals with sicknesses anyways right?
Third, what does it hurt? Have you ever heard of anyone getting hurt from smoking weed? I don't think I have, maybe if they mix it with other drugs but you don't see alot of that either. Being in college I have been exposed to a bunch of different things and I do believe I have never seen anyone hurt by marajuana. Yet again it is obviously not painful if they are prescribing it in hospitals.
So what do you think about this? What experiences have you seen with marajuana?

Day 15: It's Movie Time
One of my favorite things to do is sit back, relax and watch a movie. I love snuggling under a blanket on my couch so I can enjoy some quality film.
I also love going to the movies because I love seeing them on the big screen.
I have seen my fair share of movies in the past couple of years, and by far my favorite has been the Hangover. Everyone seems to love that movie. People are always quoting funny lines from it and acting out what happens.
I am also very fond of Broadway Musicals and I love when they turn them into movies because I like to see what movie stars they put in certain parts.
Right now I have also gotten into the Twilight series (I know I always told myself I would never do it. Well I fell in). I really enjoy it because I can't wait to see how the whole book is portrayed in the movies.
So what is your favorite movie??

Day 14: Hobbies
You know how everyone has there own hobby that they tend to latch on to for their whole life?
Well mine happens to be scrapbooking. I seem to be a little obsessed. If you walked into my dorm room right now you would totally understand. I am a very crafty person so when the oppurtunity presents itself I use my creative mind to do almost anything.
My mom kind of got me started with this hobby considering she has been scrapbooking since was about 6 or 7 years old. She still does it today. While I was still in high school I worked at a scrapbook store and so she did, she kind of go tme the job.
My first album I really ever made was my senior year album (it's bad because it is still not done :/ ) but I love it because now I have those memories kept away creatively :].
One of the reasons why I love it scrapbooking so much is because of all the different products. The paper, embellishments, the tools, there is almost everything you can imagine and more. There are many BIG companies that come out with some great stuff. Gorgeous colors and designs that seem to catch the eye of everyone.
My favorite companies are Sassafras Lass and Studio Calico. (only scrapbookers would really know what that means).
So what is your hobby and your favorite things about them?

Day 12: Winter Olympics 2010
Everyone seems to be getting hyped up about this years winter Olympics. I don't ever remember everyone being so excited in the past, maybe I wasn't paying really good attention.
This year a lot of people seem to be really into the curling. Ha ha I think it is just like shuffleboard on ice! A lot of people don't understand what they are doing but I'm pretty sure that's it.
My favorite to watch is the skiing, mainly because they sometimes wipe out right in the beginning, but other wise it is really intense.
I also love hockey, but I haven't been able to watch it because it always seems to be on really late. I do know that the U.S. mens team is doing really well though.
So what has been your favorite winter Olympic sport this year?
Peace

Day 11: Dream Schools
People always ask me " you are from Florida, why are you all the way out in Arizona?" Well I should say because this is where I want to pursue my dream.
Every since my Junior year of high school I wanted to be a Journalist. I had a teacher that really inspired me to pursue that goal. She would tell me all about the different types of Journalism that I didn't even know were Journalism. At first I really wanted to be a Photojournalist, than later on I realized I wanted to be a broadcastor specifically in sports. I love sports and just to be on the TV reporting about it would be amazing.
My teacher had told me of some of the best schools in the country for Journalism. Those included: Indiana University, Mizzou, and Arizona State.
I looked into all three and realized that ASU would be the best for me.
My father grew up right around the corner from ASU and alot of my family lives close by. I felt like I was more familiar with the area then I would have been with Mizzou or IU.
Their school is called the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism. I just started there this semester and I love it. People have told me how lucky I am to be in that school and I do feel like I am very fortunate.
In the furute I might think about going to IU or Mizzou for Grad school. So I definately plan on going far with my education.
I feel so blessed to be where I am today. I thank my parents and my educators for pushing me to become what I want to be in life. I am so proud of myself to be able to pursue the goals I want to pursue.
So I got to my dream school.
What is your dream school and why do you want to go there?

Day 10: Homelessness in America
Today I was watching a video for sociology about homeless teens. It seems to be a really big issue in our time today. I didn't know there about 2 million homeless people in America. I feel like there isn't alot being done for these people.
They are provided homeless shelters sometimes, but most of them are gender-specific or age specific so then they are split up from their families. Of course living on the streets is no bundle of joy for teens either. They go through numerous amounts of emotional sufferage along with other pain.
In the video various homeless teens talked about how people look down on them because they are homeless. They gave responses like "not every homeless person does drugs" or "because I have no money people don't want to hang out with me anymore." I don't understand what would be wrong. These people need help from our world today, and I don't think there is enough of it out there.
The reason why these teens become homeless is because they are either escaping poverty or abuse, emotional neglect, or may be to old for foster care. By the time you are 18 you are considered to old for foster care. I know plenty of people who just turn 18 the beginning of their senior year in high school. I feel that that rule should be lengthened to the age of 19, or possibly till they graduate from high school giving them a chance to get an education in college.
I truely believe their should be more done on this issue. What do you think might be a great way to help these people?
