essay #1 my first car

                                                     MY FIRST CAR.  

                  The summer of 2008 after I graduated high school I knew I was gonna be attending Oxnard college, but the thing I didn’t know was how I was going to be getting there. I knew I had to get my license and a car within that summer before the fall semester started. So I started by getting my license and after failing the written test about four times I eventually got it, so I thought to myself all I need now is a car which I thought was going to be the hard part. At the time I was working part time at the commissary on base in which I only got paid in tips so I knew this was going to be a tough one. There was about a month and a half left before school actually started so I knew I had to start working hard. I knew I was going to have cut back on spending and start saving everything I made so I just stoped spending period. I ate at home everyday and almost didn’t have a social life because I didn’t want to be tempted to spend any of that car money ive been saving. 

txtn

Now a days everyone is texting. From our parents to our younger siblings. Me personally I woud rather text then talk on the phone to avoid that awkward silence we have sometimes. I got my first job when I was about a sophmore in high school and with my first paycheck I bought my first cell phone which was a side kick 3. With the flip out key board  the phone came with it made it pretty easy to text. I was texting so much that I had to keep emptying my inbox over and over again a few times a day. I got so use to texting that I barely used any of my talking minutes. I think most people would agree that texting makes it easier to talk to someone rather than to talk on the phone, but its also easier for your message to sound a lot different then from what your trying to say.I know text messaging is a extremely addictive especially for my generation since that’s all we do. Overall I think texting is a great and reliable way to communicate with one another.

the addiction of reality t.v.

Now a days when you turn on your t.v. all you see are reality shows on every other channel. But im not the one to knock them. I’m actually a fan of a quite a few of them. And yes im guilty of being a Jersey Shore fan. I watched the first episode of season one thinking it was going to be a waste of time but instead it got me hooked. I don’t know what it was that had me stoked every thursday for the latest episode. I think it was all the crazy drama and non sense that attracted me and it also couldve been that the show is hilarious.

I know a lot of people that love to watch reality shows but then again I know a lot that hate them too. I could honestly say there are quite a few that I cannot stand but there are a few that I watch. I think most people judge reality shows based on what Mtv and Vh1 play normally, but there are some that arent anything like those shows. What most people seem to forget is that these shows are on for our entertainment. Some of these shows might not be appealing to the more of the middle age audience but to the younger crowed we get quite a kick out of the crazy non sense that happens on these shows. But if you ask me I don’t think these reallity shows harm society at all, as funny as this might sound it might provide more six figure paying jobs.

So I have to admit that reality shows are a guilty pleasure of mine. I look forward to Jersey Shore every Thursday night and I also like watching dealiest catch. I think reality shows are a way for us to see other people do some of the crazy stuff that we wish we could do.
