So a while back I saw the musical "Hair" performed by the Western Michigan theater department for a class. However, even though it was a assignment I can honestly say it was spectacular. I love how it was a musical deal with something going on at that time, in this case the seventy's. Also, I like the idea that the lines were not set and stone with this musical. Same with the choreography. We met with the director, and he informed us that this play was very whimsical, and I that is exactly the word to use. I feel the word spunky would also work. All in all, I found the play to be just wonderful in a spunky and whimsical way.

Lets talk about Snapchat. Everyone is posting to their stories, and I swear none of them are about their families. It has simply become a video of them and there cute little puppies. However, what they do not know is that I have the cutest little puppy, and so watching their videos I'm like, "just stop, my dogs cuter." All in all, I have the cutest little puppy, and I am positive about that, and I do not have to post all the photos on my Snapchat video to prove it.

I have been posting a lot due to the fact that I forget to post. I did not mean to forget, but my computer was in the shop which means I could not post. Now you might say that I could use the school computer. Yet, being the dummy I am I did not write my password and username down I just saved my info on my computer. However, now being Thanksgiving and getting my computer back I truly do appreciate it. I see how much I really do need it, and how much of a blessing it is to have.

It is truly the best feeling in the world to see all my family together. I love it when I get to see all four cousins who are in college and my brother who is also in college. Along with seeing my family from different states. For instance, my uncle and aunt from South Carolina. My cousin from Maine. Along with my uncle from Wisconsin. Then you have all the relatives who live close at the house. In the end we had around fifty people at the dinner table enjoying the good times.

It is thanksgiving and I realized how good my life is. I realized I have a outstanding family who loves me and will always be there to catch me when I fall. Along, with the best friends ever. I have friends here in my home town, Houghton Lake, and I have my friends back in Kzoo. I have my Sigma Kappa family, my engineers, and my theater friends. On a random note I really do appreciate having all my senses, because I could not imagine not having them. Along with food I could not imagine that, so that is another thing I really love.

I have learned that I am not the best at argumentative papers throughout my high school and college career, which makes me nervous about doing the papers on are topic. I think the topic I want to do is that societies views on women are to high and unrealistic. However, I know I know we have to address it to someone so I think I will just address it to society as a whole. Yet, I am nervous on how it will actually turn out how I want it to, because when I wrote my conspiracy paper I know I did not execute it how I wanted to. Maybe it is because I believe in that conspiracy so it was hard to work against it. Anyways, i am very nervous to write my argumentative paper to society.

Music is a wonderful thing that can take us to a new place. For instance, I personally enjoy all forms of music. For instance, country, retro, metal, etc....They all amuse me, however each genre is needed for different emotions. For instance, when I'm pissed I'll listen to death metal, which includes I See Stars, Attila, Memphis May Fire, etc... Yet, when I'm feeling good I love to listen to retro songs lime House of Gold, Guns for Hands, Etc... Now when I'm in the mood to go back to my root I turn on some country. So as you can see different genres of music is used and can take you to different settings.

So I'm pretty sure I forgot one last week so I'm just going to blog a lot this week. Honestly, last week/weekend was so amazing. I got my Big, which is my mentor, and I freaking love her. We went out this weekend, and had SO much fun. Another thing that is pretty awesome is the fact that i got int the class that I really wanted. It is called Media and the Sex's, and I thought I would not get in so I planned on taking Intro to Philosophy, but now I do not have to take it. All in all, life is good.

So I forgot to do this the other day so I'm just gonna do it now. Class was very interesting, because I am very amused by all the different conspiracies out there. My personal favorite is the one dealing with Marilyn Monroe, and how here suicide was actually a murder. I put the murder on JFK wife considering she was having a affair with JFK. Also, her killing herself makes no sense. She was at the prime of career, and had plans for the future. Which, lead to everyone loving her, except the Kennedy family. Considering, this made JFK look bad, and he was representing the country. All in all, I found that her suicide was a murder, because of JFK's wife.

I am literally so excited for Halloween to be here. I have had all my Halloween costumes ready for like the last week. I do not have a Friday class so I plan on going out and socializing Thursday, Friday, Saturday, which leaves me Sunday to be responsible and get homework done. I plan on being a house wife one night, a lumberjack the next, and a bunny the last night. I am a little sad I have a lot going on this week with exams and clubs so I can not really get to excited for Halloween till Friday or I may start slacking off. All in all, I am excited for Halloween, but I need to stay focused on my studies till the night of.

Yes, I am a fan of Shakespeare’s work, however this one was not my favorite. Honestly I was really excited for this production all week, but I got in there and I got the vibe. The vibe that was like no this is not going to be your thing. Anyways, I sat through it and managed to survive. I mean I knew what was going on the whole time, I understood the old English language but it just not my thing. I mean I hate to be a critic but I feel like the reason I didn’t like it was more the director’s fault, not to sound rude. I remember him saying that if Disney did a movie on one of Shakespeare’s productions it would be this one, because the characters are bold, and colorful. However, in my eyes they weren't what he said they would be. Back to the color aspect, or in this case the colors Britain and Rome had to wear. For instance, Rome wore red, which in my eyes I see as a color of power, but they lost the war in the final scene. Also, Britain had to wear black, which for me is a sign of evil, and evil never wins, except here. Although I hate be a critic I am, so to drown out the negatives I’ll put some positives. I think it was a good idea to have a basic and plain set, because the plays plot was to intense and takes place in several settings it would be hard to set an advance set for each scene. Also, I like how there were very little actors and actress. They were simply acting as several characters, which is good because of the same reason as the plain setting. All in all, the play was not my style, but not because of Shakespeare. However, the director did to some things right in my eyes.

I finally attempted to do one of the revising one of my papers, and honestly it really was not that bad. I did the narrative that gave the advice. The way I revised it was I took out all the examples that weren't that dealed with me or what I have gone through. Also, I changed it so that it was directed towards someone I know. These two made my paper longer, like almost four hundred words longer. I find it almost comical, considering the first draft I did I totally B.S. it. Honestly, I could not get to seven hundred and fifty words to save my life. So I wish I would have known to direct it towards someone to make it easier on myself.

Personally the meeting today on the revising process, and what that really means, and how e can use it to make are papers better was really helpful. I am not going to lie I was super nervous when it came to redoing my papers, because I thought they were OK as they were. Also, redoing the whole paper just really scared me. However, now I am not so nervous to redo them. I think it was more the fact that I really did not know how to revise them, but now it is all good and I am confident my papers will be better the next time I hand them in.

So I'm pretty sure I missed posting a blog over the last few days so I thought if I do a random post it will be fine. So I found out the best feeling ever is when you get out of a yes and you know you killed it. This just happened with my psychology class, and and I'm pretty freaking excited! It makes me feeling better that I worked hard for this one too. For instance, I have been in the library till 2AM the last few nights. So now I'm excited to get a good night sleep as a reward.

I decided to go home this weekend for my sweaters considering how cold its been lately. Well picking my sweaters soon turned into bring more clothes than I needed, stocking up on food for the winter, and bringing stuff to decorate the room. No joke, the closet and dresser are stuffed. We literally could not shut are fridge, because there was so much in there. Also, the room now has two tapestry's and Christmas lights. All in all, it was nice going home to decorate my new home.

Life is pretty frustrating right now. For instance, my computer is messed, I have no time to sleep, my account for Western has been put on hold because I didn't see a adviser, but I can't figure that out. So all in all, life is a big mess. This is why no one should blog when angry, because it just sounds like you have a complainer on your hands. Honestly, though at this point I don't even care.

A quick summary being we talked about how to find themes in songs. Now we know how to do the new assignment, and I will be completely honest I know this one is going to be rough for me. Considering when we depicted the songs in class I literally could not figure out any of them I just kept thinking to myself, "Who ever wrote this song was obviously high when they wrote this," and i did write that a couple of times on my paper.  For instance, Fancy By Iggy and Royal by Lorde i found no meaning at all it was just words and a catchy beat when I hear it. All in all, this is going to be a interesting assignment.

For our first paper we had to write about are favorite food, and I decided to write about pancakes. However, over the last couple of days cereal has sorta won me over. Considering it is literally all I have time for. Pus there are so many options. For instance, Frosted Flakes, Fruity Pebbles, Co-Co Puffs, and so many more. In all honestly I went out and bought seven different kinds yesterday, and I'm not even exaggerating. Plus they are all family sized boxes. The worst part is that all seven of those boxes are only going to last me around two weeks.

When telling someone a theme in a movie you have to have support to back it up. This support or evidence can come from many different points of views. For instance, you can talk about the visual aspects such as lighting or sounds. You can also describe the bigger meaning behind a scene. All in all, when telling someone a theme in a movie or even a book you need to have evidence to back up your thoughts.

I've been looking into domestic violence a little since the situation with Ray Rice, and it just amazes me that he was only suspended for a few games. However, now that McDonald's is considering dropping their donations to the NFL are they considering to truly punish him. McDonald's donated 1.2 million dollars last year alone.We treat football players as if they are God's greatest gift to the world, and as if they are not people. We are allowing them to commit crimes that the average person would go to jail for. This whole topic truly make same see how crummy society has become.

We talked about two stories in class on Wednesday, but the story that more stuck with me was Pet Milk by Stuart Dybek. I found it comical in a way, because I thought I had a good idea of the story. Then we talked about it in class, and everyone said its a man and woman. For some reason I thought it was two girls. They never said the gender of the narrator, and with the relationship being so friendly, bubbly, and spontaneous it seemed to me that they were homosexuals. So on my paper at the end of class I rewrote my paragraph so that it was a couple. I just found this comical.

When I was younger I created a bucket list, and in the last three weeks it amazes me on how much I'v managed to check off. For instance when I came here I had nine things checked off on it, but now I have 23 things checked off. Things that I had check off before I came here was childish such as riding a mechanical bull, but now I have checked off tasks that were more teenage things. For instance, I have officially gone to a foam party, which was a freaking amazing time. In the next weeks I cant wait to see what will be checked off the list. 

The date is September 10th and today we learned about blogs, which led to me creating this blog. I feel this project will be interesting and fun in its own little way. It also seems like its going to be easy too, which makes it so I don't have any questions. We also reviewed our papers over a traumatizing national event or a piece of advice we gain. Personally, I wrote my paper on giving advice, which was that you need to be happy no matter what even if people do judge us. This paper is pretty good but it's got a long way to go.

So my names Cozette Arline Koupal. I am a fan of concerts, chillen on the beach, hanging with friends, and Netflix. However, my favorite thing in the world is food. I'm a skinny fat girl to put it into simple terms. I am not a fan of needles, which is ironic because I have several planned and several piercings. That's just some random facts about me. Some more are that I'm 18, I am the middle child, I was born and raised in Michigan, and I bite my fingernails.
