Entry# 3 Tin Can

    The rectangular tin can always sat in my grandpas car. Every time I got in 'd take one. I remember spending time with him and the memories we made. It became apart of our routine to take one each time we got into the car. The experience... iconic.

    Every time, when you would grab the tin, you could hear the contents rattle around inside. With growing anticipation, I would open the tin and grab a piece out. As you placed it onto your tongue you could instantly feel the flavor spread across your tongue spreading chills throughout your body. As it would dissolve, the spicy flavor would linger in my mouth. It would leave you feeling refreshed not only your breath but it sent a tingly sensation throughout my body.
    
    The contents of this insignificant tin create a universal experience that everyone can appreciate. Personally, it reminds me of people in my life and brings up fond memories which further elevates the experience.

    I thought this was a very unique way of explaining a mint. I love the usage of saying how you get the tin can, very smart way of giving the reader an idea of what you are talking about. Very good job explaining!

Entry #10 New York (Taylors Version)

    The Big Apple. It is a typical travel destination for millions of sightseers across the world. With world-renowned attractions like the Statue of Liberty and Central Park, it makes sense why so many people flock here on vacation. But for those who want to explore New York a different way, Taylor's way, this guide is for you.       Cornelia Street was where Taylor lived in New York. Although she no longer resides there, it has become a famous visiting spot for Swifties to take pictures of. Her song "Cornelia Street" references it as a place where she fell in love. After moving out, it was put up for sale for nearly 18 million dollars. This is an excellent place to visit and take some pictures of. Remember to use the song when you post on your stories.      "I thought I saw you at the bus stop I didn't, though." At first, you may think, what's so special about a bus stop? Well, Taylor is actually referencing Bus Top cafe, which is located in the West V

Entry #9 Is food actually good?

      Fast food has become a common source for most of people's meals. After all, it is convenient, somewhat affordable, and most of all convenient. This McDonald's ad shows a fuel pump, which represents McDonald's food pouring into the soda representing our food. The ad uses the line, "Fuel up... feel good!" Is McDonald's really a healthy source for us to be fueling our bodies with?     In this ad, McDonald's is saying that their food offers fuel for our bodies. Based off of the sources of their food, and how they cook it, is it really the best option to give us nutrients?     In society nowadays, it is common for people to rely mainly on fast food places to feed themselves. This poses the problem of are these fast food places actually fueling our bodies with the nutrients our bodies need. In order to keep costs down and maximize their profit, many places use cheap nutritional sources for their food and then cook them in unhealthy ways, which may make us

Entry #8 Christmas Chaos

Image
    Who else is a barista? As we head into the holiday season, many coffee places have introduced holiday drinks to get into the Christmas spirit. With an increase in volume due to people shopping and wanting to taste these drinks that they waited all year for, baristas have become overwhelmed with the amount of drinks, making it extremely hard to keep up with sales.     As a Starbucks partner, I have had to deal with the release of the new holiday drinks. As other baristas can tell you, the increased volume in sales is challenging to keep up with. Because of more customers visiting the site and a massive increase in mobile orders, it is challenging to fashion drinks promptly. Not only are there many more drinks to make, but the featured drinks are more complicated with extra steps, making it more challenging to make them. On top of that, as the weather gets colder, many people are switching to hot drinks. This introduces an extra step. Now, you have to steam milk, a time-consuming pro
