It's the last week of the school yet! Looking back on how my first in college went was more fun than I expected it to be. I got to meet some awesome people throughout the school year. The only downer was the long excruciating commuting I had to do. According to my calculations, I put about 18,000 miles commuting to school. That’s about 220 hours spent behind the wheel driving to school. Other than that, everything went smoothly. My best and funniest class, however, was English class. Since it was a two-semester class, everyone got the chance to know each other very well. It felt like I was in a high school class instead of a college class. It can get a little boring at the time, but overall it was a very entertaining class to be in. But not all of my classes were the funniest. The worst was probably my statistics class, because of how terribly boring it was. Every day we would come in and take about 3-4 pages of notes. I know most of you guys would agree when I say math is the most boring subject in school. My school schedule fits really well into my schedule. It provided a balance between my personal time and school time. In all, my first year in Stanislaus State was a good experience. And this is it for my last blog, have a great and fun summer!

The stress around this time is very real for many. First, enrolling for new classes are this week and many are worried that they may not get the classes they want. Nothings harder than choosing your classes for next year. Up until it's your time to enroll for classes opens, we are stressful until we know we got what we wanted. Sometimes I wish that they just hand us our schedule instead of doing it ourselves. It would really reduce stress levels around the school. Secondly, school is almost finished which means finals week is also upon us. My finals aren't that bad, but I still need to study a whole lot to pass. Big projects, assignments, and essays are also due around this time. Everyone, including me, is scrambling to get them done and turned in time. I just tell myself that this nightmare is only gonna last 2 more weeks! And that once it’s over, I get to finally enjoy my summer. But, what really makes me sad that we won't be attending our english class anymore. The last year has been a whole lot of fun. I got to meet and know great people who I’ve become good friends with. This english class has been hands down the funniest class I’ve had this year. Oh and I can’t forget to say that YOU Mr. Hall have been a cool teacher! It’s been fun and I hope I get to have you again. And this is it for my last blog. PEACE

Last week in my Sociology class we discussed sensitive topics such as rape, sexism, and racism. The thing that caught my attention was that how all those issues still can be found in today's world. I understand that we can’t completely erase all of those problems in our society. Presently the topic of rape is one of the biggest issues we have. Im sure you guys remember how in the beginning of the school year, we had to pass a test on rape and how to avoid it in college. Well now I can see why they were forced to do that. The best solution to fighting rape is to spread the knowledge on the issue and how to combat it. Another issue we discussed was sexism. The professor talked about how sexism can be found in the workforce and how it negatively affects women. She stated that women get paid less compared to a male worker. I'm not sure if that is true nowadays, but if it is, I think it's very unfair. No matter the gender the person should get paid the same amount for doing the same exact work. Racism is still well and alive in our world. We may not see it, but it's still out there making people's lives harder than they already are. Nobody likes to be ridiculed for their ethnicity or skin color. What do you guys believe? Are these issues still happening in our world? If so, what can we do to prevent these issues from arising?
