Entry #10 Supernatural

                                                                    
              "Saving people, hunting things, the family business.", A classic line from the first ever episode of the great show Supernatural. This show first air in 2005 and is now coming to an end with 15 seasons. I first started watching the show in 2012 and my mom watched it on and off before that. So a fan of the show I was pretty upset when I found out that it was ending, i'm still in a sort of denial stage.
                The show revolves around two brothers,Sam and Dean Winchester, from Lawrence, Kansas that fight monsters and save the world from evil. They often end up become the evil themselves. It starts with their mother dying a mysterious death when they were really young, leading their father to become obsessed with finding what killed her. They constantly lived in different motels while their father fought monsters and they were trained to hunt from a very young age. How they were raised is most likely the cause of them questioning if they are the evil ones, instead.
                                                            
                   However, they try their best to change and become better people. For example, if one of them would turn into a vampire or some sort of monster, their father would immediately kill them. The brothers will try to find any way to cure them and wouldn't even think of the latter. Also, Sam and Dean learn that not all monsters are bad and will only hunt them if it is needed. The boys definitely end up changing throughout the show and become better people.
                                                        
                     One thing that I love about this show is that it shows that family is everything. They put family before anything else. Even if they are not directly related to them, they believe their friends to be their family. They never turn their backs or give up on each other and I think that is very important.
                                                         
                 Overall, I am not ready for this show to end. I have watched it for so long and it means a lot to me and I am not ready for it to end. I just hope that it has a happy ending, but it probably won't.

Entry #9 Customs

                                                 
              In my English class we are talking about food and some problems with it. I ended up finding this cartoon and It really got me thinking. This cartoon suggests that it seems like people don't actually care about making a change to the food and health problems. More specifically, the cartoon is treating the thought of changing the health care system like it is a weapon. In customs at airports they ask if they are carrying and dangerous weapons on them and that is basically what they are saying in this cartoon.
           Fast food and unhealthy foods are a big part of peoples lives and they don't want to give it up even if they are told about the risks of it. They believe that it won't happen to them just because it happened to someone else. We need to make them believe it in order to make a change.

Entry #8 Anxiety

               Many people in the world have a problem with Anxiety. I want to think that it is most common with this generation. For those that don't know what it is, a google definition of the Anxiety disorder would be, an intense and constant worry and fear about everyday situations.There are many jokes about it on the internet, mainly being used as a way to cope with having it. My friends and I make these jokes often too. I, personally, have dealt with anxiety for the past five years. I has been a huge part of my life, basically, it controls my life.
                                                                
              One big problem that I face with it is that I avoid situations that will give me Anxiety and sometimes  I will give myself it while trying to avoid it. An example of this would be, making up excuses to not go some place or talk to someone.
              I actually have Social Anxiety which is very difficult for me because I always want to be the center of attention. To go into more detail, I want everyone to listen to me and I never want to be discluded from things but I don't want everyone to stare at me all at once. I guess it puts thoughts in my head that everyone is judging me and that everyone suddenly hates me and that makes me want to just hide from everyone, always.
                                                                 
                   This makes me push everyone away and put myself in my own little bubble. I end up getting very lonely and depressed make more problems out of nothing. However, lately I have been trying things that I don't normally do and try to overcome this problem. I might even go to a Halloween party, which is way out of my comfort zone.

Entry #7 Fresh

                 Recently, in my English class, I watched a film called Fresh. It was about farms and how different farming methods can affect the health of the people. The film tries to appeal to and inform consumers about the food they eat and where it comes from. For example, in the film they show animals in small, cramped spaces and being fed foods that they don't normally eat. They state that because of this the animals get more diseases and need to be injected with things that can affect the quality of meat that people eat.                                                                                                                                                                                  
                This is overall just not healthy for the animals and a terrible way to take care of them. I like the way another farm in the film took care of the animals. They let the cattle roam around and eat natural grass to make them think that they are in the wild again. Letting the animals do what they normally would do in the wild is way healthier for both the animals and people.
                                                            
             It upsets me to see how cruel the animals are being treated. They deliver the food that people eat but get treated very poorly for it. I think more people should know what is happening in the farms. If more people knew about this problem and did something about it, then maybe they can change farming and make it healthier.
