Apps on Apps on Apps

It is an obvious fact that our phones play a huge role of our life. The main reason they are so important to us is because the tiny devices contain so much about our life. The line “there’s an app for that” is such a true statement. Any game, information, social site, or storage help you could think of can be found in the app store. I think the top 10 list of most used smart apps is pretty accurate. A lot of them are apps that come with IPhones, so it makes since why those are the most used. I have all of these apps, except for Google Play because I have an IPhone. My top 10 list would contain the majority of these, but I would replace Pandora with Spotify. The main apps that I use most often are VISCO to edit pictures, Pinterest to brows through cool ideas, my bank app, and Spotify to listen to music.

I think a good idea for an app would be a picture caption maker. It could even possibly be a branch off the Instagram app. Being a girl and living in a sorority house, I always here the line “What should I make my picture caption?”  Some sort of generator based off information of the photo the user puts in would be very beneficial to most Instagram users. I also think a lot of people would benefit from a more reliable traffic app. A way for people to be able to check how traffic will be in a certain area at a certain time would be very helpful to everyone.

 

Fair Time In Statesboro

Once again, the fair rolls into Statesboro. Being a senior, it has been very neat to see how much the Statesboro community loves the fair. Growing up around Atlanta, I did not experience the fair very often. I remember it being in town quite often, but I only attended it a few times. It was not as big of an event in Roswell, my hometown, as it seems to be in other places. Whenever I think of a fair, I automatically think of the food. That is where I usually spent most of my money when I would go to the fair. I would always get very excited for the funnel cakes and the fried Oreo’s.

I have a strong urge to attend the Statesboro fair this year due to the fact that I will be graduating in May and have never attended it. It always happens to fall on a very busy time in the semester for me. Every time it comes to town I tell myself it will be the year I go, but I am going to stick to my word this time. A few other reasons I haven’t attended this fair in the past is because of how expensive it is and the traffic to get their. I used to live in Aspen Heights, which is on the way to the fair, and would always dread the traffic. I think the advertising for the Fair is done very well, and it always a huge hit for the Statesboro community.

Happy Homecoming

It is a little bitter sweet entering my last homecoming week at Georgia Southern. Being in a sorority, homecoming has always been a busy and exciting week for me. The most important parts of this week for me are campaigning for our queen candidate and the doodah dance competition. This year Kate Kennon is representing Kappa Delta in running for queen. Our sorority spends the whole week passing out candy and promoting votes to her. Doodah is the dance competition between school organizations. I have participated in it every year, and am looking forward to competing in it one last time this week. The 12 other girls and I have been working very hard for about a month in preparation for this. I think Georgia Southern does a great job putting on homecoming. It gets all the school organizations involved in friendly and fun competition. I plan on attending as many events as possibly, especially the football game to see who gets crowned king and queen.

My days as a Georgia Southern alumni are quickly approaching. As I prepare to leave the school, it is nice to know that homecoming is such a big event for the university. I plan on coming back to see my friends who are still here, as well as bring my family when I am older. Georgia Southern has grown so much over the past years, and I am sure it will continue to do so. I am excited to see how successful homecoming week is this year, and am looking forward to what else the university will do with it in the future.

Superpowers – A Kid Can Dream

Growing up with an older brother, I always spent a lot of time watching superhero movies and TV shows. As a little girl my favorite superhero was always batman, which might seem strange. Looking back, I think the only reason I was such a big fan of him was because I liked his cool car. However, if I were a superhero I would want much more than a cool car. The two main super powers I would want are being invisible and teleportation. I could not count how many times I’ve said the words “I wish I could be a fly on the wall in that room.” If I had powers to go invisible, that problem would be solved. Although this would come in handy the majority of the time, I am sure there are times when I would hear or see things that I don’t want to. The other super power I would like to have are teleportation. Living in Atlanta means I have a four hour drive every time I want to go home for the weekend. On top of the four hour drive, there is usually some traffic involved. Sitting in traffic is one of my worst pet peeves, and I would not have to deal with it if I had the ability to teleport.

The super power that I would hate to have is mind reading. I think peoples thoughts are very personal, and I know I would hate it if someone could read my mind. Also, I feel like the majority of the things I heard from reading someones mind would be things I don’t care about. I would much rather only have to keep up with my thoughts, and my thoughts only.
