SnapChat Me!

Hey everyone! So I know you all know that the new "cool thing" to do is SnapChat.  And...if you haven't downloaded the app yet...either you don't have an Iphone/some other smartphone or...you're just out of the loop! (It's okay, my best friend Amy put me on SnapChat LAST WEEK, haha.)

It's like every day a new form of media is being created; as if Instagram wasn't enough. BUT- SnapChat is so much fun! 

For those of you that do not know what SnapChat is, it's an app where you can send any picture you want and it will disappear after a time limit in which you set...without the possibility of it being screenshotted. 

However, this app has raised a concern: Is it sexting or just pure fun?

In today's society, it is so much easier for one to put themselves in a situation that the next day you're like "Oh no! What the heck did I do?"

Especially as college students, we all know a friend or two who have put themselves in the situation of sexting, whether it be on the internet or a simple text.  It's become such a huge issue; No one is safe! I mean, Kim Kardashian wasn't and neither was Paris Hilton. At the end of the day, if you sext with the wrong person or if IT gets to the hands of the wrong person-you're doomed!

However, the makers of this app created SnapChat in a way that people can still sext except your picture is only seen for a couple of seconds AND if your picture IS screenshotted, you're notified.

However, IS THIS OKAY? OR DOES IT JUST PROMOTE SEXTING EVEN MORE?

I mean, hey if that's your thing then go right ahead.

What do my friends and I use it for? 

Getting by a boring class. I'm alone on the Starbucks line. I'm trying to ignore someone. 

Simply, plain fun.

Making funny faces. Snapshotting something random. Yep, those are basically my snapshots to my friends.

Anyway, however you decide to use this app, STAY SAFE!

DOES ANYONE THINK SNAPCHAT IS JUST ADDING TO THE ISSUES OF SEXTING? HOW DO YOU USE IT?

Walking Idiot

Hey! This is my first blog ever and I hope you all enjoy! My first post will be about something super POPULAR and a show that has become one of my favorites.

Nobody ever thought to take the other highway side huh...

Why would I want to talk about zombies?

It's become one of the things everyone talks about...and that almost EVERY show is about.

I know old spanish people who don't even understand English who watch it and grasp what they can!

When that happens, you can guess it's the "ish" right now.

Now what specifically would I like to talk about?

One of the characters that everyone rags on, the youngest badass ever, Carl.

Zombies? I kill that!

His growth from the first episode has really zoomed by during all the episodes.

But why did everyone hate him at first?

I got to certain episodes and finally understood.

It finally hit me.

He was an idiot.

I'm gonna poke you because you're stuck in the hardest thing ever.
Mud.

This really nailed it for me. I could deal with all the "disobeying his parents" thing because, geesh, he's a kid in a post-apocalyptic world. He obviously knows what to do more than his cop dad and cheating mom.
When I say it like that, it doesn't convey the sarcasm I meant it to...
Anyways, yes, he was quite the dummy throughout season 1 and 2.
But then, here is season 3 and....

Carl: "Zombie, you're grounded...forever." *Bang!*

There's an eight month time jump between season 2 and 3 and you can tell Carl has seen some pretty crazy stuff!
Now he's all like, "Mom, here's some medical supplies, I killed some walkers to get them."
NO FREAKING BIGGIE!
Ok, maybe he didn't say it like that...
But he should've.
He's grown so much. You can tell in the way he's learned how to clear houses from walkers in a safe manner.
Not walking up to a zombie and trying some poking just for the LOL's.
He's becoming more and more like Rick, the dad he looks up to.
Trying to protect everyone as best he can and though he's still quite the reckless little bastard,
he does it for the right reason.
I look forward to seeing how he grows up.
According to my cousin, he barely ages in the comic so this kid is probably gonna look way older than his comic counterpart in like two years.

And I hope the show still goes on so I can see how much more of a badass he becomes.
:D

What does everyone think about this show?  Anyone have a favorite character?
