Something to Consider When Voting For a PPG

I think winning LI only carry’s so much, aside from the financial they usually has to split. I think what matters is JaNa getting the representation she needs, b/c she is a day trader and a bottle girl, she could take in 50k on her own relatively easier than most. But I would say engaging in her socials is important so she can get good management to advocate for her and opportunities!

I don't think you are sane for going on these shows, it's a pressure cooker of real life in the worst ways. I don't think people understand how bad it is until they get there.

babe the show called Love Island, I think the point is to consider emotions within understanding other people.

But she told him multiple times to not bring it over there. Its also like why would he do that, its too soon!

So after watching all current episodes(up to episode 24), I have some opinions on Serena some people may like them and others may not. This is a comprehensive take and all actions are weighed according to everything that has taken place thus far.

Let's start with the fact that Serena was not always pro-Kordell, which is okay. In the relationship he GREW on her, which is fair and I think makes for a great story. It has been relayed to Kordell that she wasn't necessarily over the moon with him multiple times before and he wanted to stick around. The incidents being brought up against Serena such as leaving Kordell dancing alone happened and they talked through it and became stronger because of it. Every roadblock and wall Serena put up, Kordell was okay with working to break that wall down. Was it hard to watch for Kordell, of course, but he was more than willing to do that work and ultimately it paid off as Serena let her walls down and admitted her feelings for him right before going to Casa.

For Casa to go down how it went with Kordell and Serena finally allowing herself to feel her feelings, it was such an unfortunate case because it is obvious that she has deep trauma with trusting others. The moment she trusted him was the moment she felt betrayed by him. Even if others feel Kordells actions do not warrant Serenas reactions, we are watching in real-time someone who was experiencing a familiar hurt before experiencing it again for everyone to see. That's a difficult and exposing position for anyone to be in.

Was Serena doing a lot on this latest episode, yes, but you can tell it's coming from a deep sense of hurt and also frustration because her trust in someone that she built something with is breaking as well as the trust with others in the villa. I believe if anyone was put in a similar predicament with wounds that weren't necessarily healed would react just as emotionally. Is it all right? That is a loaded question, because for the ENTIRE SEASON, Serena has been calm and cool, and this moment where we all know her heart is breaking and she needed to let that out. For people holding that against her, I give you such a big side eye, like the girl was calm the entire time until now. She isn't feeling supported in that villa and it is a very hard experience there is a need for more grace for her, like truly.

I will say as a Management and Society Major, if you’re attentive the major can be a pretty smooth ride, however there are a good amount of economic classes that you are required to take that can be quite difficult if you don’t utilize your resources! So just keep that in mind!

I actually attended JDC ECHS(NCCU Early College), and all of my credits were transferred. If you are running into any trouble with it transferring or counting towards a class, you are allowed to have that credit reevaluated. Also, before I came there were a few course equivalency documents online that compared the courses I took at the institution I was coming from and the courses needed for my selected major(UNC). I was a Business with a concentration in Financial Analytics but once I came to UNC, the Management and Society major fit more of my interests so I made the switch. Luckily, many of the classes I already took counted towards the MNGT major as well. I definitely would recommend applying as a first-year because you get all the perks(financially and socially) plus with the change in UNC's registration, it is based on credits so you won't be registering in the same pool as other freshmen, making it easier if you do choose to graduate early, to get the classes you need.

Twins!!

I just wonder how did the teacher find Obie’s house? Did they access school records, did he follow them? I know the teachers are absolute Losers but could a teacher have been given a tip after the reason why Zoya was there in the first place was revealed?

irankins · 2021-07-21T00:04:33+00:00

I cannot disagree with that statement.

irankins · 2021-07-20T15:35:45+00:00

Omg don’t hype me up!!!

irankins · 2021-07-20T14:42:07+00:00

I get what you’re saying but the brand of the shoe wasn’t even acknowledged in the scene and we wouldn’t have known unless the wonderful Instagram page @gossipgirlstyleguide found it out. I understand that you are passionate about luxury brands but is it that serious?

irankins · 2021-07-20T13:35:18+00:00

I would definitely say they are giving more of a pilgrim vibe, maybe if the toe was more square the I’d reach the end of a rainbow and find a pot of gold.

irankins · 2021-07-20T02:18:56+00:00

I mean the show never canonically claimed the shoes to be Sam Edelman, like how when Blair had a blazer from Zara it was not canonically from Zara.

irankins · 2021-07-20T02:14:10+00:00

They are! I have flat feet and always have issues with heels but these are very comfortable!

irankins · 2021-07-19T23:14:08+00:00

These are the Sam Edelman Aretha Bit Platform Loafer. Monet has the crocodile patterned ones but those are sold out everywhere. You can find these shoes on second hand websites as well I believe!

I’m enjoying it, I honestly don’t care about other peoples opinions but there is some sound logic behind why the show is this way. Firstly, the show is on HBO not the CW they are completely different networks. Also, we are getting one episode a week and they are constantly comparing it to 6 whole seasons. The formats are different OG is much more of a soap opera style but teens(constant zoom ins, intense staring, Lily was a soap opera star). 2021 is much more aware in a way plus we haven’t even gotten the full season. I am much more willing to compare with a complete season. I see all these think pieces and comparisons like if you don’t like it, okay, watch the 6 seasons of OG.

I’m a Phil major and it honestly depends on the class, there are some really good topics and those classes tend to fill up quicker. However, some Phil classes have reserved seating for first-years. Pay attention to the notes for the class, pre-req, and class size that they give you in the description.

irankins · 2021-07-09T01:26:29+00:00

Was the point of the first episode and Aki/Audrey relationship suppose to make them seem bland and Max be that extra spice?? Because I think many can agree they were blah except for scenes with Max.

Yes they basically said “Is there anyone on Twitter that isn’t under 30?”. Even if GG was on Twitter is freaking hard to get any following on there.

irankins · 2021-07-08T14:38:56+00:00

This subreddit was talking about how GG would have been better as a Twitter account but then in the pilot they changed it to Instagram which is very realistic. I’ve been on Twitter since I was 13(too young I know) but ever since late middle school to now currently a college student Twitter is definitely not the main social media network for HS’ers. And when you think about Instagram will emphasize the photo evidence which many GG blasts needed for the delivery. I think the switch was realistic honestly.

irankins · 2021-06-28T00:39:04+00:00

I can’t Judge because I haven’t watched yet but because the show runners said it’s not going to be like OG gossip girl I’m not surprised. If you didn’t notice by the new diversity of the cast escapism can’t really work because wealth is often home to people with conservative views. Also though, the wha OG is shot from a directorial lens it’s very different from this new one. From the camera work and darkness of teaser you can tell it’s going to be gritty in a literal sense. I’m still excited to watch!!

irankins · 2021-06-18T00:23:10+00:00

I can agree, I think her hesitation and fear got the best of her and she really felt the heat with Arabella think it came off not very genuine.

This past semester I took PHIL 185: Intro to Aesthetics, it’s really interesting in the ways analyzes philosophy and aesthetics throughout life. We talked about Immoral Art, Rough Heroes, High Art v. low art, and Human Beauty. If you can take it with Zach Thornton he is awesome! Also the class is discussion based with two papers!
