Andrea Rose: Broncos: Green & Gold →
dreaherreria:
It’s hard to believe this is it, my final post for COM 317 on Tumblr. By doing so, I thought I would write on my final post on my field assignment topic.
Go Green! Go Gold! Go Bronco’s! Green and gold are the colors to California State Polytechnic University, Pomona that the students wear…

Next Quarter Will Be the LAST EVER
The end of the quarter is here again and I can say I’ve made it all the way through the quarter without forgetting to write a blog. Last quarter I found myself remembering about the blog due Friday on Saturday morning and I would be really upset with myself. I made a goal at the beginning of the quarter to not forget and I actually accomplished it.
I have a good feeling...
My life!: San Diego Adventure →
bibibianche:
I missed a post last weekend!:(
As I said in my last post, I planned to go to San Diego with my girlfriends because she is leaving to Korea for good! We went there on Saturday morning, and had our brunch at “The Cottage”. It was so good! My friends in San Diego told me that this place has the…

Crunch Time
The end of the quarter is coming up and it’s getting down to crunch time for all the work I’ve set aside, or slowly started. This week I’ve been particularly motivated to get everything done so I can start my spring break a little early. I made it to every COM 201 class; Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:15 a.m., which is the first time I have accomplished that in a month. The time I finally make...

itsalyssaduh:
1. I can’t believe there are only two more weeks of winter quarter! I’m doing pretty well in this class and Magazine Journalism. So basically the only thing I’m worried about is my Communication Theory class… and the research paper. To be honest, my professor might as well be teaching Trigonometry…
I enjoyed all of your topics, mainly the first one because that is my...

What can I write 350 on?
As I sat and watched Gold Rush Alaska on the Discovery channel, I started thinking about topics that I would be able to write 350 words on. One topic I could easily write 350 words about is my grade in this class, and how it completely tanked after a misspelled name in the basketball story. It’s ironic because last quarter in reporting one, my grade was a low c until the end of the...
Stormy Skies: Smells Like Spring Training →
jacobsundstrom:
It’s a blessing from the Romans that February is such a short month. Less than one month away from the time of year where athletes flood the otherwise desolate state of Arizona, and the otherwise nearly unlivable state of Florida to earn/solidify their spot on a Major League Baseball team.

Nerf Basketball Update
In reporting one, last quarter, I wrote a blog on in-door Nerf Basketball; I figured this might be a good time for an update on the action. When we first got the Nerf Basketball setup, I would get smoked in horse every time I played. All three of my roommates have enjoyed multiple victories over me. After playing many games of horse in the first three months, we took about a two-month...

My first field assignment is about the Chinese New Year celebrations in 2012. I decided to choose this topic because the events were held in end of January, and I think it would be fun to write about this celebration!

Baseball Blog
I chose to write about Cal Poly Pomona’s baseball team because they did surprisingly well last season and I am a baseball fan. I wanted to tell readers, which players were leaving and how that would affect the team. Since the team lost eight players from last years team, one of them playing professionally now after having ridiculous numbers at the plate for the last two years here, I...

Cheez Gone Bad
This weekend I went to the desert with my pops and a few family friends. It was supposed to be just another man trip like we have done many times before. We used to camp in the desert, but the last few times our friend “Cheez Boy” has wanted to stay at the Hampton Inn.
I like camping more, but being able to take a shower and watch TV in the desert is nice. The free continental breakfast in the...

Brand Loyalty
robertvarga:
Brand loyalty is a phenomenon that can be hard to explain. Usually it is based upon previous positive experiences with products from a particular brand. A friend might say that he buys only Apple smartphones because they are the easiest to use or have the most features. His points are perfectly valid, but if Apple started making inferior phones, he would probably still continue to...

A Walk to Remember
Last Wednesday I returned to campus around 6:15 p.m. for a guest speaker that was discussing space stuff. The event wasn’t supposed to start until 7 p.m. so I thought I had plenty of time to find the building. I was supposed to be there to take pictures for the Poly Post.
The building that would host this event was building 192 and the room was 322. I automatically assumed building 192 was the...

Garage Door Tug-of-War
My garage door blows. It has tried to ruin my day on more than one occasion. At first I thought parking in the garage would be sweet. Never have to find a spot, never have to roll up my windows and I could do sweet moves while pushing the button to close the garage. While the previously mentioned are sweet, the garage is still a pain in my backside.
The first time the garage upset me wasn’t...

Two of my best friends have birthday in January. In order to recognize their transition into their mid-20s we decided to go to Vegas. I had never gone to Vegas with a group of girls that large, and I’m not too eager to do it again. I thought we would just be dancing, drinking, and exploring Vegas…

Christmas in Colorado
After my Oakland adventure, I went to Colorado for another much needed vacation. This time I wasn’t planning on partying too much because we were going to my uncle’s house for Christmas. My plan didn’t go very well and I found out my uncle and his friends are border line alcoholics.
Getting off the plane on Christmas-eve, we went straight to my uncle’s friends for a social...

Dont Be Naughty or Santa Might Beat Your Ass
First blog of the winter quarter and I’m getting it done early just like I said I would in my last blog from fall quarter. Luckily during this winter break I had many adventures that I can write about.
My first vacation was to Oakland to visit my best friend from high school. The first night we just hung out at his pent house on the twenty-second floor drinking beer and...

The Last Blog EVER!
This is the last blog I will ever have to write!… for this quarter. I am stoked! Not because writing blogs is terribly difficult, just because it is sometimes difficult to remember. Since I find myself procrastinating until Friday to write a blog, I leave myself no time to write it if I forget.
Luckily there has only been one time that I forgot to write a blog on...

Slow Drivers and Spoiled Milk
Last Sunday as I was making my way from Oceanside back to Pomona I ran into another bad driver. This one got under my skin a little more than the normal inconsiderate driving maneuvers.
I was driving back around 7:30 p.m. when I was slowed to 25 mph on a road that has a posted 50 mph speed limit. This two-lane road happens to have mild curves, causing extra cautious...

Cowboy Up
Wednesday nights don’t have to be boring. In Cahoots in Fullerton is a good place to find a little entertainment. Wednesday nights are a big line dancing cowboy party night. Anyone who knows me knows that I’m not a cowboy by any means, except for Wednesday nights. I still don’t have a cowboy get-up but mentally I turn into a cowboy. I throw on my flannel and I’m full on...

Last week I forgot to write a blog. I usually wait until Friday to write blogs; naturally procrastinate until the day its due, as I do many other tasks. Last Friday, 11-11-11, my neighbors opened up a brewery, Prohibition Brewery, down the street from our houses.
This was exciting because they have been working on it everyday for the last...

Dave and Busted
Yesterday was my little brothers 22 birthday. He decided to celebrate at the Yard House and finish up at Dave and Busters adult arcade in Irvine. This was my first time going to Dave and Busters and I didn’t really know what to expect, the only thing I did know was that it was going to be fun and maybe even a little crazy.
Instead of going to Yard House to waste our money on expensive...

When going to school in Southern California and having your family live up north, things get frustrating and often, lonely. I remember 2 years ago when I was 18 years old, I was so eager to move out from home. I thought I would never miss it and that I was ready to live independently. I…

My Barbeque Bomb
One thing I could not live without is a barbeque. In our upstairs condo, the barbeque is squeezed nicely in the middle of our balcony right in front of the sliding glass door. This makes it nice for barbequing and watching TV or taking Nerf basketball shots in the living room while barbequing. I have found many ways to entertain myself while barbequing because I do it so much. The...

Falling Down is Funny
Why is it so funny when people fall down? It just is. Wherever there is a person falling down, there is most likely a witness laughing. Unless the person taking the fall gets seriously hurt or it looks like they did, I have to laugh. This is why I enjoy shows like Americas Funniest Home Videos.
Most of the submitted videos show people, animals, and random objects falling...

Trailer Park Blog
Oct. 14
Trailer Park Boys is a TV show produced in Canada depicting life of trailer park residents. In this comedy, teams of cameramen follow around residents filming a documentary. What makes this show particularly funny is how they film it. During some episodes the camera men get into the action of life in the trailer park, getting shot at and helping steal heavy objects that the main...

Nerf School
So there I was shopping for some essential home goods that I needed for my condo at the one place that has everything, Wal-Mart. As I cruised through the store I thoroughly checked every isle making sure nothing slipped past me. Making my way through the final section of the store, one shelf attracted my attention putting me in a state of immediate hypnosis. The Nerf section, its hard...

Bad drivers: Cant Live With 'Um, Cant Shoot 'Um
Everyone hates bad drivers. There is nothing you can do to avoid these drivers on the roads and freeways. Bad drivers are everywhere, hiding on street corners waiting to pull out in front of you, cutting you off without at least using a blinker, or just trying to run you off the road with a swift no-look lane change.
People have come up with many clever reactions to vent...
