my new favorite show

The Voice is an extremely great and talented show. It could be compared to American Idol, but in my opinion is much better and isn't as annoying. The singers that are able to sing in front of the judges (Blake, Adam, Cee Lo, and Christinia) are picked because they are very talented. The singers will sing to the four judges who have their backs to them and if they are interesting on putting them on their team and coaching them then they will turn their chairs. However, if more than one judge turns their chair around, then the singer gets the choice to pick who they want to work with.

It's only on it's second episode, but I am already attached. I have never been a big fan of American idol due to the fact a lot of untalented people go on it just to try to get famous, but when I hear someone who can really sing I get excited. I was told tonight that one of the singer's on the show (who is amazing, Javier) was at Wittenberg last year. I am very upset that I missed them because he took my breath away when he sang. I recommend this show to everyone who enjoys listening to people with good voices. Tune in on Tuesday nights at 9!

the royal wedding

The royal wedding seemed to be on everyone's minds on Friday. I planned on getting up at 5 am to watch the wedding, but when it came time to it I didn't, but instead recorded it. I know plenty of people that did indeed wake up just to see the wedding. In England, it was known as a holiday and didn't have to attend classes, which I believe should have happened as well.

Many people didn't like Kate's dress, but I thought it was absolutely beautiful. She did her own hair and makeup and still looked amazing. I think it was a good thing that the Royal Wedding and the NFL draft weren't at the same time because I believe many more people would have tuned into the wedding. More so people unwillingly. It was everything that it was hyped up to be and I'm very excited for the two!

blogs

I think the blogs have been a good idea, but it would have been better if we talked about them more. It's easy to forget to about doing the blogs when we don't talk about them for weeks. Also, I think it would have been better if we were given more ideas what to write about. A lot of the blogs are just about me bitching, but if we had to write about certain topics such as the note. I enjoyed when we had to go back and read blogs and rate the tops ones. It showed a lot of us were on the same page and agreed on what we thought were good blogs. They are interesting to read, but a little bit of a hassel since I haven't been caught up on them!

hating on twitter

The new thing now a days is twitter. Many people don't understand or like anything about twitter and can't quite grasp the ideas of tweets. To me it's something that is addicting and you can find me on twitter constantly. It' s basically like making your facebook status, but doing it numerous times throughout the day.

Many people that can be found on twitter say that it's better than facebook and some have even given up facebook. You can mention people which is commenting on their wall or a post. People think "I don't want to tweet about everything I'm doing or want people to know, " but honestly it's more than that.

You can find your favorite celebrities, artist, or even shows on twitter on follow them. It's a great way to stay connected with people and learn more about people's lives. It's less creepy than facebook, where as you can't necessarily stalk people's pictures, walls, or friends. Most of the people you follow you know, but sometimes you will get a request from a random person. It's the new thing and quite addicting. Everyone should start tweeting!

wittfest approaching

Wittfest is right around the corner and many student's are looking forward to the activities that it brings. Wittfest seems like it's the one time a year that witt parties like a big school and student's from other colleges actually come to visit instead of us leaving to go to their schools. There's day drinking, parties at multiple houses, a concert, alums coming back and much more. It's one last chance to get to party with everyone before finals and graduation.

In the past, it seems that the performer's at Wittfest haven't had a big crowd, but I believe that with Girl Talk there will be a much bigger one.With this being my third wittfest, I'm hoping it's the best. It's very sad to think that this will be the last wittfest we get to spend with the senior class, so hopefully it's one we will remember, or not.

how long will this last?

I have recently been in a fight with a family member of mine, my sister. My sister lives in L.A. and is four years older than I am. You would think she would have grown up and could be mature about things, but that definitely isn't the case. Over spring break, someone commented on a picture of her dog, calling it ugly. She became very pissed off by this comment and told me to "fuck off" because I didn't stick up for my sister, but instead my "boyfriend."

My sister and I have never gotten along that great. She's the middle child and feels like since I'm the baby my mom always takes me side. However, most of the time she's in the wrong so there's a good point of why my mom is taking my side. In this case, it's absolutely ridiculous why she's even mad at me for this. I told her over and over again I told him not to say anything and to apologize, but really it's just a dog.

My brother and sister's grandmother passed away earlier this week and they both came home from L.A, and Georgia for the funeral. This was the first time in years that we all have been home together. Did my sister say one word to me? Absolutely not. I even confronted her before we came home apologizing to her for everything and I hoped we could put it behind us in a time like this. I honestly don't understand how something this horrible could happen and you still can't talk to your only sister. Life is too short and things happen way too unexpected. Hopefully she'll learn this before it's too late.

scheduling

Scheduling for classes at witt sometimes seems pointless and impossible. I understand it being a liberal arts college that we need to take gen eds, but I find it a little ridiculous when I can't even get into my classes within my major or minor. I have had this trouble since I was a freshman and i would of thought it would of gotten easier.

It seems as any other college if a student needs in class in order to graduate or be on the right track to graduate, the professor would let them in. Here, it's not the same. I have e-mailed countless professors begging for them to let me into classes, but they won't let me in since they cap them at 15. I understand it needs to be small, but open up another section.

Surprisingly, they did open up another section for a comm class for this semester, but I wish they would do so for next year. I would like to graduate on time and actually be able to fulfill my journalism minor. So please Witt, help us out!!
