Interview a senior

I interviewed my friend Patrick Walker who is in the masters program and will be graduating in the spring as a teaching major. Since he plays for the SJSU football team, he gave me advice on trying out for the team and how the coach chooses the players. He told me to have fun during the year and not to screw up in my education. Also Patrick talk to me about living off campus in a good neighborhood.

Muse 2

For my second non muse event I attended the homecoming football game against Idaho. Standing in the Spartan Squad section I blended in with all the 3,000 yellow shirts in the stands rooting for the Spartans. The game was close in the beginning when we could have scored a TD but stopped. In the 4th quarter the team made bad plays and could not tackle the ball carrier. With seconds left Our Qb got intercepted with no WR standing there. Majority of the people left after the play disappointed.

Scholarly Journal

In “ The Cambridge Companion to Bob Dylan” by Ed Kevin Dettmar a 2009 journal published by Blackwell publishing, he talks about how Bob Dylan is still a musical influence today. The article also talks about the treatment of women in Dylan’s songs to in real life scenarios. You can still hear Dylan’s work from his 30th album to ipods, radios and cds.

In 2007, Dylan released his thirtieth record album “ Together through life” which was a hit on the record charts. The album sold millions to country music fans. He also was a subject of a Hollywood movie in 2007, “ I’m not there”. We still listen to his songs from new technology of mp3 players and satellite radio, a big difference from how people listen to music in the 1960’s of the albums to home radios.

Barbara O’ Dair provides an explanation of the sexism in the song “ Just like a women”. She states that some of the songs lines had no taste and the speaker’s vulnerability and shame. They also defined Dylan’s male heroic persona in which he tropes of the feminine as an accessory. They also talk about how Dylan influenced many artist in using marijuana. From the Beatles in 1964 they got influenced in a recording studio.

Sex essay

Talking about sex

Pressure can come from all around a college person into sex. Frats, roommates, and friends. Even with no parental control sex can abide peoples mind that it is not the only thing going on in this campus. Dating is special to take it the next level in college but not too far. I feel that sex in the dorms or off campus should be protective and safe. If the girls says “ No” then do not go any farther.

By law if the girl does not consent to the sex it is illegal in penalties up to a couple of years in jail and a fine. Sex can be very important to a women’s life especially when there is no parental figure in colleges. The only person who can say no is themselves and no other persons. As a freshmen in college, women are pressured more then men to have sex. Is it for pleasure or for love. Men count who they sleep with and how many girls they get in a month or a week. Protection is the best way to stay safe. A condom should be used at at all times if you want a baby other wise.

In a survey it had stated that majority of married couples meet during their colleges lives. Dating is important to find someone new and to meet the girl or guy of your dreams. As long as you take it slow dating in college, and the parties there could be sparks in that fire. Sex can control a couples relationship because you can get pressured from the friends around. Marriage could be on the way if couples stay on course and not hit a bump in the road.

Finding a person before you start to do something with her on Facebook or Myspace is a good and bad thing to do. The goods is that you learn information about the person, for example where the person is from, birthdays, and what types of music they listen to. The web can also tell if the person is true to his or her statements. The bad about the web about the person is overlooking into their pictures. Obsession can result into stalking someone. Knowing too much about the person before hand is bad because talking about issues is better than finding it on the web.

As a result sex can control peoples lives into pressure and from many people. Dating is important in finding a soul mate or that special someone. Sex while dating can be special in their relationship,but protection should be used all the time while having sexual intercourse. If I had a younger sibling, I would tell them to use protection all the time and be wise about having sexual intercourse.
