 Man, what a loaded question. I'm not so sure about times that I specifically had a stereotype about a food that wasn't based on facts that the food just sucks. For example, vegetables are horrible because they all taste rancid. Maybe I haven't tried vegetables that are cooked correctly? I don't know, but salad and vegetables suck. However, I can in fact recount times that my FRIENDS have had this experience... About half of my friends will forever to the grave say that McDonald's is one of the worst things to happen to America. They insist that McDonald's is super unhealthy for you and that it is made out of slop. This belief is fabricated solely from the other people who say this propaganda as a way to make everyone hate McDonald's. It's really no more unhealthy than OTHER fast food places (I'm looking at you Chick-Fil-A), but other places tend to have foods healthy options (like some salad) but the people at McDonald's know that people (in the...

 The yakamein from the episode shows how crazy the streets of New Orleans are, but also captures the feeling of a hug from your mother all in one bite. It has become super culturally important because people eat it when they want to be sober which is insane because obviously no food actually does that.  Today we watched a documentary about food in N.O I learned how different cultures have influnced the food that they eat on the streets of New orleans 

 One dish that is a must have in my culture is definitely Steak. Steak is one of the best foods on this entire planet earth, and I could always go for a steak meal. It is significant because it's a highly nutritious meat that has an extremely rich flavor when cooked to the only proper temperature, medium rare. A good steak needs no sauce, only salt and pepper.  Today we started food posters I learned I'm not very culturally aware because my family is from Scotland but I don't know how the foods I listed are Scottish at all.

 The entire writing process helped to make my essay a lot stronger and I feel like I did a really good job. It revealed to me that I'm not a very good writer in any context unless it's trying to be funny. I can write stuff that will make people laugh or at least have a good chuckle, but I don't think I did half bad. Today we wrote our essay I learned how to organize my thoughts into something that is intelligent and can be written down.

 Drafting is essential because you need to be able to make changes to fix your spelling, grammar, and make your ideas more clear. This step is super important in making your thoughts more organized. Today in class we prepared to write our essay. I learned how to draft an essay.

 I think the hardest part of writing an essay for me is making my thoughts organized. As you know from reading all my blog posts, I can tend to write a stream of consciousness that is really long and doesn't really have any goal except to make the reader laugh. Making something intelligible that can actually be high level is super boring and not fun because I feel like it takes the fun out of writing. That's the hardest part.  Today I prepared to draft my essay.  I learned how I can effectively use evidence from a very large source. 

 The last colleges on my list are these final 3: University of Arkansas, Columbus State University, and Georgia Southern University. I like all of these schools for each of their schools of music and horn studio since I'm going as a music performance major. The campuses are all very nice and the horn professors are all excellent.  Today I found evidence for my essay. I learned how to comb through a giant book to look for specific evidence.
