I use a variety of websites and apps for both schools and personal use. The tools that I use everyday are: Facebook: This app keeps me updated on current news and connected to people I know. Microsoft office : I use this to complete school assignments. Urcourses: provides information on my classes/assignments and connects me to classmates and professors. Tiktok: Entertainment with short videos/clips. Even though I frequently use more apps in my day to day life, I know I check these everyday. These tools are a mix of academic and leisure purposes. These apps represent two big aspects of my life. Sometimes I have a hard time balancing my…

Got muffin bad to say about this recipe
This week we are taking a look at the basic recipe you do with old banana’s. Has anyone else put old banana’s in the freezer and tell yourself I will use this for banana bread one day… well I do all the time but instead I decided to try a banana chocolate chip muffins recipe I found on TikTok.

The app’s algorithm personalizes content to each user’s interests, making it engaging and popular among younger audiences. The reason I decided…

Live, Laugh, Lasagna!
Howdy classmates, This week we are going to look at time-lapse videoing! Time-lapse can be found on the camera app of an IOS device at the bottom of the screen! Time-Lapse Photography is a technique in which the frequency at which film frames are captured (the frame rate) is much lower than the frequency used to view the sequence. When played at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. For example, an image of a scene may be captured at 1 frame per second but then played back at 30 frames per second; the result is an apparent 30 times speed increase. Similarly, film can also be…

Sooner or Tater I Had to Make This Recipe
With the current weather we have been experiencing in February, I wanted to take advantaged of it and BBQ. My mother gave me some home made burgers and I wanted some fries to go with my meal. I remember my Aunty in Texas always making home made fries but she did it in the oven. I am a university student who refuses to use the oven if I can because that seems like more work and more dishes to clean. So what is the next best thing? An Air fryer! The recipe for Air Fryer French Fries was very easy to follow and he made it fun. I find some recipes…

Rolling in Oats… and Chocolate Chips
This week I wanted to change up my routine. Normally I wake up, grab a protein shake and I am off to school. I was curious if I could make something that filled me up and made me feel just as good as the premier protein shakes. The recipe I made this week was Energy Oatmeal Balls which included only 4 ingredients that was already found in my house hold (big win) and did not require any cooking (bigger win). This recipe will become a daily thing that I consume and make. It was quick, easy and did not require a lot of clean up. Here is a picture of…

Writing the Normal Narratives – socioeconomic status
I) I never really thought about socioeconomic status until my experiences in u in my ECS 101 and ECS 102 class. A particular normative narrative for me is middle to upper class. In Cassi’s story she talks about having friends over and they would mention her “big house”. I also experienced a familiar experience as her. I am from white city and so, when I would tell people that they would already assume I came from a place with money. Cassi also stated that she would take “The simple things for granted, such as having food on the table and not wondering about when my family and I would…
