Commercials

When I was reading the blog prompt for this week, I was trying to figure out how I would make this topic stretch to 300 words. I sat here confused for a while and just didn’t know where to begin, because once I start writing I don’t like to stop. So, to begin I will talk about my feeling of commercials in general. Commercials are a way for people to advertise anything they want to the audience they want based on what network they chose to advertise to. Although I feel like there are too many commercials, I feel like they are necessary. Without commercials I would never know the latest movies, or specials that restaurants may have. Commercials make it easy to keep all of us informed, while making money from their advertisement.

 While watching Law and Order SVU, I experienced over 40 different commercials over the hour long period. To my knowledge law and order is geared towards female teens and older women. This show is drama based and that is what most girls are into. Out of all the commercials, the M & M Valentine’s Day commercial aired the most. I believe this was the top commercial, because Valentine’s Day is only 2 weeks away. Also, because this TV show is geared towards women they are hoping for more sells. Another commercial that aired a lot was the taco bell super bowl commercial. This obviously was another repetitive commercial, because the super bowl is coming up this Sunday. When commercials are based on a holiday or event as the date moves closer, the commercials begin to air more. Many people will be hosting super bowl parties, so to continuously show these commercials is a way to promote people to come and buy taco bell for their party. The taco bell and M & M’ s Valentine’s Day commercial both are produced based on an event. Well that’s the end of this blog…

Introduction

I really don’t know where to begin. Everytime I am asked to write an essay about myself I get stuck. So, let’s start with the basics, my name is Sharna’ and I am a freshmen majoring in social work/nursing. I have one older brother and two younger sisters. I chose Illinois State, because of the large, but small feeling university this is.  I plan to receive my bachelor’s degree in social work first, and then I will go through the Accelerated Nursing Program to receive a second bachelor’s degree in nursing. I plan on become a neonatal practioner, because I love working/ being around babies.  

  

I was born in Chicago and raised in the south suburbs. I graduated from Thornridge High School as the fifth rank in my class. I am a very hardworking, dedicated and outgoing person. I currently have 2 jobs here at ISU, one at McAlister’s Deli and the other at Burger King. I know your probably wondering, 

“Why am I working so much?” but it’s not really as bad as it sounds. I only have 2 shifts at Burger King and 3 at McAlister’s. I am currently a member of BSU and researching on starting my own RSO. Some things I enjoy doing is eating, being with my boyfriend and watching TV.

How do I feel about English? When it comes to writing, I don’t think I am good at it at all. While writing I will continuously repeat myself in different ways just to make sure I make the length. English is just a boring subject to me, sorry Miss Ayla. When it comes to reading, I like to depending on what the book is about. Hopefully this class can change my current feelings about English. I also hope I can become a better and more confident writer by the end of this semester.
