1 .Fashion is different everywhere, but fashion also just
recycles itself. Talking to older people such as my parents- you will find out
lots of things that have recycled themselves. Ladies and Gents of my generation
love to wear things like Adidas Jogger’s, Air Jordan’s, designer jeans and
belts such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Ferragamo. Most people try to be as fly
as the rappers and ball players do. I personally like Jordan’s, Nike, Neff,
Polo, and Billionaire Boys Club Clothing.
2. A lot of popular slang terms for 2014 came from popular
Vine’s being watched and spread all over the face of the internet and things
songs that different rappers put out. My favorite slang terms have to be “21”
from a Vine where a little boy was being picked on. My other favorite is the
term “throwing shade”; I like this one because a lot of people say I throw
shade. (http://www.playbuzz.com/rebeccam16/how-many-popular-2014-slang-words-do-you-actually-know)
3.
First is the whole J. Cole (2014 Forest Hills Drive.) album which is most
recent. I listen to that album everyday because you can relate to all of his lyrics.
Secondly is the song by Shy Glizzy called “Can’t go like that” I like this song
because it has a very nice beat to it and Shy Glizzy is one of my favorite rappers.
Third on that list is probably “You and I by John Legend”. I heard this song
one time and fell in k=love with it. I knew it was going to be my type of song
when I first heard it. The fourth song on the list is another song by John
Legend called “All of me”. I love this song because- even as a guy it still
made me feel kind of soft on the inside. Any song that can pull at my heart is
a good one. I also like to play that song for my girlfriend. The last son that
has been on my playlist lately is a song by Wale called “The trip down town” I like
this song because wale is one of my favorite rappers but he doesn’t rap in this
song its more like spoken word but at the same time he is throwing in a little
flow which always catches my ear because its different from the rest of his
music.
4. An exciting event that happened to me this year was;
first when I won a national championship in Gainesville, FL. That was a very
important time in my life because I have never won a national championship in
my life. Also another exciting time in the year was when I got a college offer
from a D3 school. I just knew the sky was the limit from there.
5. Two things I would like to change about myself in 2015 is
my timing or procrastinating skills and my decision making, because next year
in college it’s only going to get harder. All of the things I use to get away
with in high school won’t go down in college. There won’t be any one with me to
push me when I am slacking off. Also I want to add the fact that the professors
don’t care about you problems, they are there to teach and that’s it.
6. Two current events that really caught my attention are
the Michael Brown case and the Eric Garner case. The Michael Brown case ended
up with the 18 year old Michael Brown being shot by a police officer, and the
police officer wasn’t charged. The Eric Garner case had to do with a group of police
officers arresting the 43 year old, but while trying to do that one of the
officers used to much force and killed Garner by choking him to death; also in
that case the police officer was not punished. Both of those really caught my
eye because they have been all over the news and I hear people talk about it
daily. They really got my attention
because I feel as if the police shouldn’t have used so much force in both
situations. All lives are important in this world.

7. The word I am going to chose for myself in 2015 is going
to be perseverance and consistency. I have to conduct both of these traits in
my next few years of life because the real world is coming at me fast and it’ll
be here before I know it. When you have responsibilities,
you have no time for games. I plan to live out these traits by doing my best in
perusing my education to the best of my abilities without anyone having to give
me a pat on the back and staying consistent with everything I do.
