The hills

Just a little overview of what happened on this weeks episode. Whitney is a 5 year intern who is about to graduate, and would like more responsiblity and a real job. So she and Lauren are sent on a show and Whitney is spotted for modeling. While she was modeling a dress on live TV she falls and is morbidly embarrassed. After the drama everyone is trying to console her and she seems to be upset. The next day at work she is given a little pep talk by the bss lady and she was given a note from the big lady at Teen vogue. This episode was one of the best, in my opinion. Mainly due to the fact that it had nothing to do with Heidi or Spencer. This pisode showed a girl trying to move up and the struggle of doing so. I liked this episode so much because it wasn't filled with all the normal drama of The Hills, it was what the show was supposed to be about, Lauren and her life now after high school, it finally showed a true day of work and someone trying to go somewhere. It wasnt all about people cheting or drinking and it was still a good show. The more I watch the more I want to change the channel just because it has gotten so "reality TVish" with the drama and acting and what seems to be typecasting. The show seemed to only play the god footage and not the actual footage of Lauren and her new life on her own. This episode was more realitic than "Reality TV". The season is almost over I hopw it ends as well as it started and has little to nothing to do with Spencer, he ruins the freakin show.

land of the dead

In the movie we watched this week I was a little dissappointed. I thought that it was going to be more realistic i guess. It seemed to put on. For a zombie movie however it was one of the btter ones that I have seen. I still think that it is going to be really hard to write about this movie in my paprer. Im not too sure how I want to write it or what exactly I want to write about. There isnt a big interest in zombie movies, in my life so writing baout it is deffinatly a challenge. I would much rather write about romance movies rather than a zombie film but I guess I have to deal. Im just nervous about the lenght and what topics to write about. I think I may write about the spoof movie Shawn of the Dead and compare and contrast the two films but who knows right now. I thought that the ending of the movie was pretty shabby. I was anticipating a better ending but its okay. It is ironic how the people who were money huingry and in control both lost their lives in the end. It goes to show a moral point kind of, like what the main character said "money burns". The characters more interested in living made it and the money hungry ones both died a horrible death, ironic. All in all it wasnt too bad, but I wouldn't choose to watch this movie in my free time. I dont think that after I write my paper I will ever watch another zombie movie again but its good to experience different forms of writing.

The Hills

On this weeks episode of The Hills someone is feeling a little guilty for thier actions. Hiedi decides that she is going to through Lauren a surprise 21 birthday party. Before that she lied to Lauren again about hangin out ad left her alone on her birthday which was part of the surprise. I think that although it was a nice gesture, the only reason she through her the party was for one to drink herself and for two to get back on good terms with her. I think that Heide was jealous of how close Audrina and Lauren were getting and so she through her a party to make up to her. I also think that Lauren is growing smarter and wiser about her friends, hopefully this time she wont get hurt. I though it was really shady of Brody to ask Spencer to make a toast to Lauren on her Birthday, thye dont like each other so why would he want him of all people to make a toast. Spencer is so fake it makes me sick, he talks so much trash about Lauren behind her back and yet has the nerve to make a toast to her? HE makes me so angry I could punch myself! I dont see how any girl would take all of his shit and still want to be with him. Heidi is either Blind or stupid and I'm thinking stupid. The show seems to be getting better but I cant wait to see how it finally ends. Who will be friends and who will still be together and all... I hope Lauren end up with more friends like Audrina and herself.

St. Patrick's Day

Okay so I totally dont understand why everyone is going crazy about St. Patrick's Day. Not everyone in Downriver is Irish so why are they acting like it. Even if they are Irish why do they want to run around looking like idiots because they drank waaay too much? I dont understand our society at all. The bar down the street from my house opened up at 6 this morning and people are already drinking. That can't be too safe. I wonder what our government is thinking allowing these places to open so damn early. Drunk driving is already a problem in todays world so why give an alcoholic more time to get drunk and behind the wheel of a car? I'm Irish and I don't even think that this is a necessary holiday to be celebrating. yeah I am proud of who I am but I'm not willing to get drunk and act like a bafoon in front of everyone, while wearing a shirt that says I'm Irish. Who really cares anyway? I'm so frustrated with the way people are. I wonder if they have anything better to do then to make stupid mistakes and kill someone else because they just had to start drinking at 6 in the morning. People need to stop being idiots and look around, find something better to do with their time. It is ridiculuos that this world does stupid crap like this. If you're not Irish don't celebrate St. Patrick's Day and if you aren't responsible enough to get a DD than don't drink!! Walk you're lazy butt to the bar and walk home if you dont like it tough, dont drink!!

Spring Break

Although I know that Sring break is supposed to be a huge party down in Mexico or Miami, I am stuck here in horrible Michigan. One reason for this is due to lack of money, although I work 2 jobs and have no life. I ruined myself with credit cards and someone has to help my mom out. The other reason is because I think that there are more important things in this world than getting tanked and sleeping with the first person you see. My brother has been in the hospital for what seems like forever and Iw ould much rather spend time by his side then hundreds of miles away with a pina colada in my hand. I dont understand why soo many college students that are supposed to be saving their money for school go off and blow thousands of dollars for a party. I think that if they would spend maybe 100 dollars they could have a good time here too. I dont get people these days, it doesn't seem like they are thinking too much about the future. I wish I had mommy and daddy paying for eveything but I'm not that lucky. Okay now that I have vented, my spring break has been pretty darn good. My brother is getting better and my family is more relaxed. Plus I get more than 3 hours of sleep a night!!! I wish I had the money to go out to Miami for the hell of it but I can't and I am just as happy here with my family. I hope more people think about things like that, family should come before anything. No matter how hard life gets.

The Hills

Okay so I can completely understand how Lauren is feeling right about now. Although her friends are screwing her over and leaving her out she is still working and keeping up with her school work. She is an amazingly strong person. Heidi of course broke another promise to Lauren when she said she would be home from her little vacation with Spencer and Lauren got ditched again. She is the type of person who deserves to be treated the way she treats everyone else. She also went out on a blind date with Audrina and her boyfriend, it seems like to matter how hard her life gets or how much drama there is she still keeps her head on straight. The new guy seems a lot better than her usual boyfriends, maybe this one will treat her right. I think that Lauren needs to find new friends and get rid of the negative, self absorbed ones she has now. In my last essy I made a mistake with the names, Jen was the one that screwed Lauren over not Audrina. Audrina is the perfect friend for Lauren because they are both so nice and caring. If I were in Lauren's position right now I would probably have a nervous breakdown. She has been betrayed by her best friends, and people she has grown up with. That type of betrayal leaves permanat scars. I have said this before but Lauren is the best role model on TV right now. Her responsible independent attitude should be the prime example that all girls should see. Often girls on TV are running around looking like sluts, and Lauren is in control of nearly every aspect of her life. If all girls were like her there wouldn't be a need for men. Thats probably a good idea!! Boys are seemingly nothing but trouble, thank god there are soo many out there, because there is bound to be one good one out there. Hopefully someday soon TV wont be so infatuated with sex and money and more people can be real, and be the right kind of role model. Lauren has her priorities straight and thats what young girls need to see, they need to know it's okay to be smart and independent.

Essay 2

This essay has been a lot easier for me to write. I think it has a lot to do with absences, I wasn't gone nearly as much with this essay. I didnt miss an important class and I knew exactly what I needed to do. I watch a lot of reality t.v and so writing about it was simple. I dont really pay attention enough to ads making that essay a lot harder to write. Back to this essay though, I wrote about my favorite shows The Hills and Real World. I never noticed how fake these shows were until we started studying them. I never even knew there was a thing called typecasting until recently. Also having more experience writing in a college setting has helped me. I didnt have the experience and knowledge I needed to write the first essay correctly and now that I know everything I learned in high school is wrong it makes it easier for me to do things right, according to college standards. I also never realized how much alcohol was used to make people's lives more interesting. If it weren't for alcohol and the way people act when they're drunk the shows would be boring and I probably wouldn't watch them nearly as much. My life isn't too interesting so watching someone get screwed over and all the drama that goes along with that makes me want to watch the show. This essay showed me how producers use people to make money, and how they alter shows to raise ratings. This essay is a lot more in depth than the first and it is more of an opinion essay. I love to be outspoken and tell people my opinions whether or not they want to hear them so writing an essay that is mainly all about my opinion was easy. I still have to work on a few things and fix a little bit of my essay but overall it is going well. In the end I think that I will be back on track with my grades and essays after this week, HOPEFULLY!

The Hills

You know its one thing for Hiedi to hurt herself and to go out of her way to do so but it is a completely different thing for her to hurt her best friend. Through out both seasons Lauren has been there for Heidi she was the one to pick her up off the ground and dust her off when Spencer broke her heart. Audrina is unspeakably rude, she grew up with Lauren and they have been friends fo ryears and to betray her like that is unthinkable. What are these girls thinking dont they have respect for one another. It is an unwritten rule that all girls know not to touch another girls boy-toy. I can't imagine how it would feel to be Lauren right now. She has so much on her plate with school and work and the drama with her friends is kind of the cherry on top. If I were betrayed like that by anyone I knew I would not be as understanding as Lauren has been. I think she really needs to reconsider her friendships with both girls. They obviously dont care about her or how she feels. Friends are supposed to be there for you not go behind your back and stab you. Hiedi should have opened her mouth and said no to Audrina just like Laruen opens her mouth everytime she sees Spencer being an asshole. Those 2 girls need a reality check, they need to be shown that the world does not revolve around them and that boys are not going to be there for them like their best friends will. I think that they have a big surprise coming, soon. Lauren will learn her lesson and grow up leaving the 2 of them to fend for their selves.
