English 15 was surprisingly fun for me. I have never really been much of a writer and always dreaded the thought of writings papers, but this was different. The topics that were displayed and talked about really helped me, like just trying to get the audience's attention from different angles and views. I had no idea how to really write a research paper until now. Never even heard of MLA format until now. Still was a little tricky but overall I think I started to get the hang of  it. My favorite topic was the memoir paper. It gave me a chance to express myself and my emotions for first time. I rarely ever do that. The classroom was filled with interesting young people that really seemed passionate on what they would write a about and how they express themselves. The only thing I did not like was blogging and eight AM class. Everything was just peachy. I would definitely take this class over for a better grade and just for the writing itself.

Event #2

On April 27th I attended the moving on concert. Filled with vast and wide variety of musical artist, the event itself is based off the accomplishments and academic success and the parting of the graduating class. It has been a tradition at Penn State for 38 years now. Starting in 1974, it is enriched with history of musical performances such as Wilco, Run DMC, Fall Out Boy, and many many more. I attended the first band that was playing and the last band that was playing. Young the Giant who played at 5 were amazing to me live. This indie rock band went well beyond my expectations. "They played some of their hit songs like "I Got" and "My Body". "My Body being the last performance of the was awesome. Lead singer started crowed surfing and was nearly dropped. Quite the spectacle... The Avett Brothers were the last on the line up. They play a folksy bluegrass, mixed with some indie rock. The banjo playing was intense, but the cold made the concert not a comfortable showing. I had a really great time attending this event and happy to be part of Penn State History. I hope to see everyone there next year.

Review of Pickles

If you have ever walked down Allen Street off of College Ave. You might have seen the restaurant bar called Bill’s Pickles tap room or mostly just known as pickles.  This genuine bar has its location in central state college right off of the university making it an ideal spot to get a bite to eat or a nice refreshing drink. The menu has simplicity to it, with items like the Reuben and Philly cheese steaks or if you are looking for the something light they provide a delicious Greek Salads. The bar usually has at least 10 beers on tap and a menu of drinks specials based on the days of the week. Perfect example would be if you were to go on a Tuesday night, it would be considered country night and you have the opportunity to purchase $2.50 Lynchburg Lemonades a great value considering if it wasn’t on special. The environment can be cool and calm or outrageously loud and fun; with flat screen tvs hanging from all sides of the establishment you can easily watch your favorite team play and cheer against your rivals in the bar, but of course if you are under the age of 21, you are only allowed inside until 6 p.m. Then it becomes more of a bar scene and they have to abide by state laws. I say if you are new in town or just looking to get a bite to eat and meet some new people I highly suggest checking this place out. Like the motto says “Not for Saints…Not for Sinners”.

movie goers

I recently saw the movie American Reunion that stars Jason Biggs and Sean Williams Scott. If you have ever seen the American Pie movies than you should know the cast members and the wild crazy things that happen to them. The original from 1999 was about just four teenage boys trying to lose there virginity before high school ends. This one takes us 13 years into the future where the main character Jim now has a wife and kid and the others Oz, Kevin, and Finch all have meek futures too, but coming back to there high school reunion they are hoping to stir up some good times with memories of the old times.

I liked this movie outrageously to much. Not sure if it just my kind of sense of humor or if it brought back memories for me. The reunion itself in the movie was based off of an 90s theme so that was pretty funny to me. Also showed in a weird way such a advance in technology. Going from crappy computers and no cell phones to I-phones and droids. There a joke in the movie about it... Overall I had a fun time watching this film, though it won't win awards or anything like that it. It will make you laugh.
