      Fun fact that you may not have known about me, but I collect Dragon Ball figures. Why you may ask? It's more so a hobby to me; a very expensive hobby. I chose Dragon Ball figures because their line, specifically the S.H. Figuarts line, is really nice looking with great articulation and accessories. Even though I love Star Wars, their high end figures just feel the same as a toy that I could find at target. These Dragon Ball ones though are beyond that. They feel like statues that you can pose with how good they look, and I really do cherish each and every one of them. Though one stands above all the rest: Cooler.      Picture of S.H. Figuarts Cooler ( https://www.toyark.com/2021/03/03/s-h-figuarts-dbz-cooler-final-form-revealed-419528 )         For those who don't know, this is Cooler, Frieza's brother from one of the Dragon Ball Z movies. Funnily enough, he's not even my favorite character, nor my favorite villain for that matter. Bandai just did a really amazing

      It really should come as no surprise that many students after high school tend to lean more towards higher education. Many jobs today require a degree in higher education, especially one that are able to pay for a fulfilling and stable life. College can do so much for a person. You get the chance to make new friend, have new experiences, to really learn what it means to be an adult. Though if I am being honest, it is not pretty. Granted, this is only my first year of college, but I feel like things are just really rough for the average college student.     To start things off lightly, it feels inconvenient and annoying to have to dodge the people who want you to sign something (Aka Clipboard guys). Like I just want to get to class, I would rather not sell my soul to something I do not really care about just to appease these people. Granted, that is a very dramatic way of saying I do not want to sign something, but somedays that is just how it feels. Then there is all the added wo

      Usually, when it comes to memes, whenever they're brought into other forms of media like video games and movies, they tend to fail. Things like Ultra Instinct Shaggy couldn't save Multiverses from irrelevancy, and bringing Morbius back in theaters only cost Sony lots of money with no returns. However, Dragon Ball Legends, a very popular Dragon Ball mobile game has made a meme into a huge success and a character to be feared. The line, " Nobody can beat me when I'm Super 17, " became an iconic line with how goofily the American voice actor delivered it. Prior to the LF Super 17 unit, every other Super 17 unit was pretty bad, having nothing that was actually threatening and generally just having many better alternatives. The only reason he was so popular was because of the meme. On the 31'st of January though, everything changed. Legends finally made a Super 17 unit that was practically unbeatable, just like the meme quote said. So what makes LF Super 17 s

      Ah, news, a real double-edged sword. Sure, it can provide people some of the most accurate and most recent information, but in the wrong hands, the news can be really dangerous. Where you would see stories with truth, you would instead see partial truths that only account for one side. Where you would see objective you would see subjective. At worst, where you would see truth, you could see lies. In many cases, news in the hands of greed and bias create a recipe for disaster as many people will take the first thing they see at face value. In some cases though, people can point out bias easily, however with a practice called, "Slanted Reporting," it becomes much harder to detect since it is a lot more subtle.   Picture of biased news in the famous movie, "Spiderman." ( https://www.thepropgallery.com/spider-man-daily-bugle-spider-man-newspaper-cover )     Slanted reporting is having bias towards another side without making it obvious that there is bias. This is
