Introduction

     Here we go, the required "tell me about yourself" post. In case you're wondering, it took me several days to write three complete paragraphs about myself, which should be easy considering this is the subject I should know the most about. This isn't because I live a boring life, in fact just the opposite. It's just something that feels a little weird to do behind a screen. Who knows maybe it's just me. But anyway, let's get on to the basics. I'm from Bartlett, IL, which is about 45 minutes north of NCC, 25 minutes if I'm the one driving. I compete on the golf team here at North Central and I am a business administration major. 

    I played baseball and basketball for as long as I could remember, but after stepping out of my comfort zone I discovered golf and soon fell in love with it. Ever since I was 10, not a day went by where I wasn't swinging a golf club. I'm so addicted to this game that I would practice outside in the snow. Even Tiger Woods didn't practice in the snow, and maybe that's why he's the GOAT and I'm not. I developed such a passion for golf that I decided to fully commit to it my freshman year of high school. Golf has taught me things I wouldn't be able to learn in a classroom such as patience and perseverance and has given me mental strength that will serve me well into my future.  After a very fun and successful high school career, I was blessed to be given the opportunity to continue to play the game I love and compete at the highest level here at North Central. 

    I do actually have a life outside whacking a little white ball around. I enjoy watching sports, working out, listening to music, politics, swimming, the outdoors, traveling, eating, and going on nighttime drives. I will emphasize the eating and nighttime drives. I do love being around my friends and family more than anything, that's truly the main source of happiness in my life.

Doc Project

Whether I watch a movie, TV show, or documentary, I never really paid close attention to the cinematic elements that make up a film. After sitting down and digesting my documentary of choice for this project,  Cartel Land,  I found that devices such as sound or music greatly contribute to making a film enjoyable to watch that keeps you thinking afterwards.           I went back and rewatched a couple scenes from Cartel Land for analytical purposes with a strong focus on the filmmaker's choices of music. There were two scenes in particular in which music played an instrumental role in forming how the audience should view certain people. One scene used upbeat, triumphant music while Dr. Morales, the leader of the Autodefensas (armed citizenry) gave a speech in a town square in front of the local people. Without music during this scene, the audience would likely have had to come up with their own interpretation of Morales' character. Similarly, when ...

Don't Hate on Thanksgiving

 Thanksgiving truly is one of the greatest holidays, and I honestly don't care what anyone else says. But since I'm writing this, obviously I do. Far too many people dump on Thanksgiving for whatever reasons they have ("the food is gross") but many times when pressed on why they dislike it, they struggle to come up with an answer. Keep in mind these are largely the same people who consider you immoral if you utter anything negative about Halloween, which is overrated by the way. Thanksgiving is unique and happens once a year, so let's all just enjoy it. I will concede and admit I understand the perspective that the food isn't the greatest (I still disagree) since I'm a picky eater, but we really only have an excuse to stuff our faces with turkey, potatoes, mac n cheese, ham, and desserts once a year. Can you think of another holiday when it's acceptable to consume that much food? No! And if you don't like the food and it's an issue, by all mean...
