The Dangers of Sitcoms
The Dangers of Sitcoms Growing up, I was a relatively defensive kid. There were certain aspects of my life I needed full control over. This included having control over the DVR to record my favorite shows. Whether I was home and able to watch my favorite shows live, or I was gone and needed to record them, they always needed to be recording. Not only did I refuse to miss an episode of one of my favorite shows, but I needed them recorded so I could go back and re-watch them as much as I wanted to.

Is Justice Truly Just?
Is Justice Truly Just? Back in the spring I had an interaction with the law. The story begins just as many people have interactions with the law, over speeding tickets. I had been driving for over four years at this point. No car accidents or any injuries to my vehicle and only a singular speeding ticket which occurred in my first year of driving. Growing up in Chicago, I learned quickly that not being a confident and conscious driver would leave you with tickets and/or car accidents. I’ve prided myself on being a good driver, but what I didn’t expect was the way in which I received my second driving ticket.

Jealousy in Comedy
Between the Lines of Comedy Regardless of its medium or genre, Comedy has always had one sole purpose which is to make an audience laugh. Situational Comedies or “sitcoms” in American television have been around for 70 years, but comedy itself is much older. Dating back to the 6th century BCE in ancient Greek culture, Comedy’s roots are satirical in nature and used to criticize and make fun of people and society. Although clouded with humor, there is always a message and intention behind Comedy. Jealousy is a complex emotion often commented on within sitcoms. Comedic writers include characters who display insecurity, fear and manipulation to portray jealousy while maneuvering through humorous situations.

The How-To's of Capturing the Best Photos With Your Phone
If there is one thing I’ve learned throughout my years of photography: it is that you don’t need a fancy, expensive camera to get amazing pictures. Having studied photography and videography in college, I love having a camera and being able to take beautiful photos. However, there are a lot of times that I don’t want to carry around my camera because it’s heavy, expensive, and I can still get some beautiful pictures without it.
