What's the big idea? Blog entry #3

 Just yesterday, CNN released a video about Trumps admin releasing war plans against Yemen to Jeffrey Goldberg, a journalist for The Atlantic. In the video, a CNN anchorwoman spoke with Ryan Goodman, a legal scholar about war plans against Yemen being leaked to a The Atlantic journalist Jeffrey Goldberg. The people involved in the group chat were all members of Donald Trump's admin, their names being: Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, Tulsi Gabbard, director of national intelligence(the irony, right?), John Ratcliffe, CIA director, Mike Waltz, National Security Advisor, J.D. Vance, Vice President, and Pete Hegseth, Defense Secretary.
 At first glance this seems quite appalling, as is nearly anything this man has done. Such as, transgendered people must now identify with the gender they were born with in the armed forces, or how national websites about female healthcare have been mysteriously wiped, and how Mexicans and Native American's are now being targeted and chased out of the country by ICE. I think the reason this got leaked because he fails to see the incompetence of his faculty. Trump is a very stubborn man focused on running our country like a business, instead of regarding the will and safety of the people. 
 Although things seem rather devasting at the moment, there is one thing that will protect us and that is the people. With the people divided is how bad people in power stay in control. We can overcome, through putting aside our differences, and using civil disobedience. h usine

Movie Review: "Legally Blonde" and it's significance in the world of Feminism Blog Post #4

Image
  In remembrance of Women's History Month, I wanted to have fun with this assignment and write a movie review about an inspiring female lead. Legally Blonde is a movie from the year 2001 about an inspiring young woman named Elle Woods, and how she went from a fun-loving, fashion major, living in California, to an inspiring, mature graduate of Harvard Law School with a Law degree, all because she originally wanted to win her ex-boyfriend, Warner, back. Only to instead, fall in love with law, remember her worth when others don't and become an amazing lawyer.  Image Citation One of the things I enjoyed about this film was that in the beginning, although she was fun-loving, pink wearing, California girl, she was still smart and capable. We first see this in the beginning when a dress saleswoman tries to get her to pay full price for a dress, but Elle, using her *fashion knowledge, outsmarts the underestimating woman's antics. After she starts law school, she feels pressured to ...

How beneficial is waking up at five am? Blog Post #8

Image
 These days it feels as common as rice to hear about fitness influencers bragging about waking up at an insane time, all in the name of "getting the grind." I'm sure many of you have seen at least one of those protein filled, creatine-coated, five am vibe day-in-the- life's. Where their life seems so glamorous from the outside looking in, but ultimately feels unattainable because of their extremely disciplined regimens. What I'm inquiring is could there be any reasonable benefits besides grandiose bragging rights, a descent gym photo, and a reasonably sized headache.  Universally, anyone feels, groggy, tired, stressed out, sucky mental health and all around gross after a morning that is earlier than what they're used to, and that's normal. However, if a person prepares the night before, and gets the substantial sleep they need, there are several benefits to waking up at five am. Firstly being, improved mental health .    Both the Sleep Foundation, and Int...

Blog Post #1: My top five

Image
  Salutations readers, my name is Elle. Throughout the years of my life I have had many hobbies, especially now, as a Freshman in College. The one hobby, that I have arguably enjoyed the longest, has to be reading. What I enjoy about reading, besides that I find it relaxing, is it allows me to tune out the chaotic, distracting world, and allows me to fully immerse myself into another. For the interest of time, I will describe my five most notable books/series I've ever read, as well as my take on it. WARNING: the author cannot in good conscience fully promise that the following won't contain spoilers.     Enjoy:)  1. Percy Jackson  One of the most notable book series in my book,  that I enjoyed as a preteen and early teenager is Percy Jackson. The plot follows Percy Jackson, a 12 year old boy being a child to a the Greek God Poseidon, and him saving the world from evil God's and other demi-gods that desire to bring Kronos back to life. One of the things I e...
