**Project 365 Edition: Freshman Year in College. Starting 8/20/2011**

This blog was originally a blog devoted to a great high school class of mine, but I've decided to transform it into a Project 365 blog (a photo blog where you post a picture everyday for a year). I fell in love with the layout of crayons and cuteness (and wasn't savvy enough to redo it) that I'm just staying here! My teachers may very well still get notifications when I post, but whatever. If so, hi Bolos and O'Connor! :P Feel free to un-link yourself if you get bored/annoyed of me...

I'm not sure how keeping up with the daily posts will work for me (especially seeing my track record of weekly posts in that class) but I thought it would be a neat idea to at least get a feeling of the first year of college, of freshman year. Making new friends, new habits, and living a new life. Also apparently being corny as hell. Maybe this new life can include actually posting each day. Probably not. Let's cross our fingers for me?

Enough is Enough. Leave Tiger Woods Alone.

For the past week all I hear on the radio is Tiger Woods. OhEmGee guess what happened to Tiger Woods????
I. Don't. Care. The amount it's been on the news, on the radio, you'd think a disaster has hit the world. Ok, maybe I'm exagerating but it's almost as bad as the Jon & Kate Plus 8 scandal. And that was bad. They even talked about making a movie out of it. But that's besides the point.
So he got in this accident. Maybe he cheated on his wife. (I haven't really been following). So I know cheating on someone is bad, but people do it. He's a great golfer, he gets paid a butt-laod to golf, and he made a stupid mistake. One that's done many many times a year. This nation's obsession over it is just killing me. Do we really care that known golfer Tiger Woods potentially cheated on his wife? Does the publicity really help him out? Can't we just leave his life alone? For that matter can't we just leave all celebrity's lives alone?
In this time all he needs is to be alone, and figure this out on his own with his wife. If he cheated, shame on him. But I don't think the world needs to know. Needs to discuss it like it was their brother's doing. We don't know Tiger Woods's personally. So we shouldn't be discussing his personal matters.

I know we'll never stop being obsessed over celebrity's lives. I mean come on, it's great junk reading material for anyone. But it just disgusts me how certain matters get so much publicity. I just wish we wouldn't care. Wouldn't want to care. It's just unfair. It's like he'll never get a second chance, it's all people will ever care about. Oh Tiger Woods? Yah, he cheated on his wife. He's a bad guy.

  1. I understand what you're saying. Honestly, who cares? It's the business of the Woods family, and no one else's. Therefore, people (especially the MEDIA) need to leave them alone about it. I really never liked the media; I have always found them to be incredibly invasive.

  2. The media focuses so much on mistakes that celebrities make that those mistakes begin to define them. Like you said, following this scandal, Tiger Woods will not just be an amazing golfer. This single mistake (however big or small it really is) will continue to define him, his career, and unfortunately, his life.

    Worse yet is that the media often blows things out of proportion, and not always accurately so. Who knows if Tiger Woods even cheated on his wife. I'm tempted to say "who cares?" but clearly there are plenty of people out there that do. I think that is the root of the problem. If we can pinpoint Tiger Woods' problems and worry about them, the mistakes we make don't look too bad in comparison. We pick on public figures to make ourselves feel better... Sympathetic.
