Traditional Schooling vs. Online Schooling



The age of technology is upon us! This new age of technology has opened our eyes to an age of broader horizons. One in which we have more options in choosing how we can achieve our goals. Going off to college is no longer every high school senior's thought or intention. Those seeking a higher education have the option to stay at home and obtain the same education they would if they went away to a college or university. But is it really the same? Can you really obtain every lesson from an online school that you would learn from traditional schooling? No, I don't think it's possible.
Traditional schooling may seem out-dated to my generation but it offers so much more than any online school could every hope to offer. Traditional schools give aspiring college students the opportunity to live on campus and have the ultimate college experience. My own personal experience has made me understand that college is a place for self discovery. It places at our feet pure opportunity. Opportunity to plug into an outlet to express ourselves, opportunity to realize our dream job, opportunity to fall in love, and opportunity to make lifetime human connections. 
Online School gives you only the computer to sit in front of day after day. It fails to provide essential life lessons that can only be learned through physical experience. Although traditional school is more expensive it's worth it in the end. You pay for not only your education, room and board, and food expenses. But you're paying for the construction and birth of yourself into the you who you've envisioned yourself to be ever since you were a child desperately wishing you were all grown up. So, if you can commit yourself whole-heartedly to the experience, traditional schooling is the best option.

.....current mind state......

When a person exposes them selves to everyone on the internet it's always dangerous territory. You never know who's watching.... For instance.. those who have blogs.... We have to be careful as to what we choose to write. We can't be ignorant and think that the "world" isn't out to get us... they are... and those who have blogs open up their lives for strangers to read about... but..... we HAVE to find things to write about... inspiration and points of interest.... it's the reason we have blogs anyway... to share information whether it be personal or universal. What if we stumble upon the wrong information? What if we discover valuable and potentially life saving information? We can't necessarily share it with everyone if we value our own lives.. Because like I said.. you never know who's watching.. and "those who have blogs" have to be careful as to what we choose to reveal.....

A peep hole into the life of ANGELIQUE

Life has been a bit crazy lately... well maybe crazy isn't the right word... my life has been filled.. yea thats better! When people said junior year was going to be crazy that was an understatement. With the new year brought new responsibilities. Everything became crucial once the second semester started and it definitely wasnt a help being sick the first week of school. But hey! Stuff happens.. life threw me a hurtle n i'm still jumping over it unfortunately but whatever.. it's best to just roll with the current sometimes. This is what my to do list for this year looks like:
                                              Get my license before the summer
                                                
   Take ACT and avoid the SAT

     Look and apply for colleges (WOO UCLA)

         Get a summer job (without spending $200)

            Turn 17 with a BANG!!!!!!!!!!
      
   Gain more acting experience and hopefully obtain representation

 .........oh and pass math with a B(shooting for an A)

Being 16.... man....... what a work out! OOHH that reminds me I have to start working out for the summer! Ok sooooo which one do I do first? Heck! I don't know i'm sure it'll come to me one of these days. I try really hard to enjoy myself with all this stuff going on. Cus i'm the type that will worry and stress and plan.. i NEED structure... but i've been so tired i'm singing avril lavigne's song "what the hell" (taking "messin around" out of context and interpreting it as having pure clean wholesome fun :-) hey mom and dad lol)

So yea! There's been a new edition to my life.................. a guy................... a guy that i call my BOYFRIEND! OMG can you believe this! All the posts I've ever written i've wrote them as a single gal. I AINT SINGLE NOW! n it's pretty cool i must say. I can't stress how amazing it is to have a guy that im really feelin around my family and everything's all good! THAT'S WHATS UP! If you havent tried it it's definitely something that you have to do before you die. I've been really enjoying his company, his insight, and everything that comes with him which is a big bundle of FUN! .................im looking forward to when the storm comes.. crazy to say but its true... I'm ready to see what he's really made of... see if he can hang with the big dawgs :-)

Ga Gone nuts

Dear everyone !,

The craziest thing I've ever seen lady Gaga with horns. I'm not sure if they have yet to inject the crazy juice in her but no matter how much money you have you shouldn't waste it dumb things such as HORNS. Give me your insight on what you think of this.
