El Super Sucks


         Every Sunday my grandmother and I go to this grocery store named “El Super”, on Saviers Road and across the street from the new Wal-Mart. It has got to be one of the worse grocery stores I have ever been too. My grandma loves it because it’s a lot less expensive than other grocery stores and that I have to admit but there are so many other reasons why I dislike going there and especially EVERY Sunday. For one the parking is horrible I have to say it takes me about 10 minutes to find a parking. I believe there are never parking spots because there are so many little stores and restaurants in that shopping center and not enough parking space. Secondly, I personally think that store gets a little too packed. I didn’t know that many people could grocery shop all at once. I’ve witnessed babies, children and even adults just grab food like bread, fruits, vegetables, chips etc. and start eating them and don’t even pay for it because then they either put it back or throw the trash on the floor.
            I also think the store is very dirty and unorganized, yes it’s not always the workers fault but I have seen a lot more people at Wal-Mart than I do there and can honestly say Wal-Mart is a lot cleaner than El Super. As I’m typing this all I’m thinking about is how much I love Wal-Mart and how I should have written about it instead, but I thought you should know how much I dislike El Super. Not only is every isle packed with people, children running around, and carts in the middle of the isle but sometimes have stacks of their merchandise just in the middle disturbing everything. Lastly, the meat section has got to be the worse part of the entire store. I once waited for 30-40 minutes to get meat, and I wasn’t the only one. Just imagine how many people were waiting for their number to get called. So my advice to you and your family is to stay away and I’m sure it will make your Sunday a whole lot better.

Fast Food Nation


            For the most part the book Fast Food Nation has left me disgusted and a bit confused on why as a young child was allowed to eat fast food. And it’s obvious that most of our parents didn't know that fast food like McDonald's  Carl’s Jr., and Taco Bell were really bad for our bodies and health. Our parents just had seen it as an easy and cheap way to feed us. They are not the ones to blame, well there are the parents who did nothing but feed their children fast food, so I guess you can blame them for being lazy, but if it was a once in a while kind of thing then in my opinion, I think it’s okay. The ones to blame are those marketing to families and children making it seem as if fast food is the healthy thing to eat.
            Lately, I have not been eating fast food as much as I used too, maybe the only thing is Subway but I mean how bad is that compared to McDonald's and sadly In-N-Out. I can proudly say I am slowly changing my ways of eating, I know it’s going to take a while but I know I can do it. Instead of eating out with friends I will probably just invite them to a home cooked healthy meal at my house, or let’s get real maybe something my grandma made already, because I am pretty sure it will be healthier than fast food.

uuugh school


Okay so #5 was my truth, I am taller than my oldest brother by like 2 inches.

          Honestly this semester isn’t going all that well for me. I need to grow up and really focus on school and realize that college is no joke. First off, I’m taking a sign language class that I thought was going to be pretty easy, I mean it is but for some reason I don’t remember any of it. I have a big problem where I get distracted very I mean very easy. I can be working on homework and if someone asks me to help them out with something I will go help and completely forget about my homework. I can also say I’m probably the biggest procrastinator of all time, for example, the other day I had an essay due in one of my other classes and yes I waited the last day to do it. But not only that I sat in front of my computer and instead of typing my essay I ended up watching YouTube videos until 5 in the morning. Once 5 o’clock came I noticed the sky started getting a bit brighter and that’s when I decided it was time to start my essay, so I ended up literally pulling an all niter and didn’t go to sleep until that night. I mean who does that. The sad thing is I know I shouldn’t be like that but for some reason I can’t help myself, I seriously need an intervention. For the most part I guess you can say I’m doing alright this semester, but my goal should never be just alright my goal should be perfect. I just think I need a reality check because I obviously cannot take my own advice when it comes to school. My goal for next semester is to actually be on top of my school work because I really don’t know how much work I have until the day before its due, that’s when I’m actually doing it. I hope I stick to my plan for the rest of this semester and all the upcoming ones.
