I just recently attended my final muse event with two of my friends and class mate Troy. This muse event was extremely helpful considering it s almost finals week. This workshop was about test taking and what are good test taking strategies. The two presenters where very informative about every type of test that we would be faced with; math, essay, multiple choice and take home test. They also emphasized the importance of managing your time while taking a test. The strategy they suggested was look at the test, do the easiest ones first, and always make sure you have time to do your essay or short answer. While you’re writing your essay, make sure you always have time to proof read because teachers always know when you are rushing to finish and exam or if you had enough time.

Muse event #2
On Friday the 13th, I attended a money management muse workshop that I was informed about from my roommate. The presentation helped me understand what it is to establish credit, maintain good credit and what is necessary or not. I also found out that if you are late for one credit card payment, all other credit card companies you belong to are informed and can affect your relationship with them as well. I also became aware that it is only reasonable to use credit in case of emergencies, large appliances and to pay large amounts of money that you do not have the cash for. It is always better to use cash than credit. This muse event was just what I needed because as a college student I really need to start learning to save my money and only buy things that are completely necessary.

Muse Workshop
The first muse workshop I attended was called "the Cool Factor". It was not what I expected but still very informative. It was not about what cool is or how to be cool, it was about how to help you view of yourself as "cool". It taught me how to not worry about what other people’s standards of what cool is affect me. Also, that people with good views of themselves have a high rate of success at life. I went to this before our Muse class at around 1 or 1:30 by myself because I could not find any one to go with. I was actually glad I went to this because I learned that if I have a positive out look on myself, then other people will have a more positive look on me and my lifestyle. I also learned that even when I am angry, that that I should not let that ruin my good attitude because when anger over comes you, it completely wrecks your good judgment. I was glad I went to this muse event because it was actually good information that was not useless.

Bucket list
The key to success in life is to set goals for yourself and to make sure that you accomplish them. Right now as a college student academic and professional goals seem to be at the top of my priority. Personal goals are obviously extremely important for everyone because if you do not set goals for yourself, then you will never have the ambition to get ahead in life. As human beings, we are always looking for ways to get better results in life with better and higher personal achievements.
As of right now in college I am looking to complete my general education. I am still searching for a major, but my career goal is to start an insurance agency. The reason is, my mom’s boss who owns an insurance agency and is filthy rich. In about four years hopefully I will be graduating from college and on my way to starting a job with a decent salary. After I get my degree, I may be attending Farmers Insurance classes to be licensed so that I can be an insurance sales man.
In ten years, I will be twenty eight and hopefully I will be a successful insurance agent or sales men. Once I have established a career in insurance I may be looking to start a family but I would like to have my own house or apartment with my own car all in my name. I live in the bay area now and I will still want to live in the bay area forever. In twenty years I will still trying to become more successful in my career, hopefully in insurance and personally I will hopefully have a family and helping them succeeds in their personal and academic goals.
I will do everything that I can to reach my goals because I am the oldest of my parent’s children and oldest of all my cousins. I have to be a model for them so that they can be confident in going to college and reaching their goals. I am the one that they look up to for inspiration and guidance. And even if my goals end up changing, I will have the right attitude to succeed.

Non Muse Event #2 (revised)
Non Muse Event

The song “Pour Some Sugar on Me” by the band Def Leppard contains lyrics that are obviously about a girl giving a man sweet love. Not making love together but a women showing complete affection to the man. The song is not just about one specific kind of girl, it is for all girls. This song is also about how much the man loves the women’s sweet sugar from his head to his feet and can not seem to have enough of it. The song also is not about a one night stand or just a fling, he asks in the song if he could be her man. This song is not as shallow as it sounds, it’s not just a sexual thing, and it also brings up the subject of commitment. To me, these lyrics scream what I though college was all about. These lyrics to me are simply talking about girls and guys making love and pouring it all over each other. This song that is about sex and you can tell by the first time he says”Pour Some Sugar on me!” I also really like Def Leppard because their drummer only has one arm and he is awesome at the drums.
