The Power of Advertising
The power of advertising is a lot more powerful than most of us probably think. Even though most likely all of us change the channel when a commercial comes on the tv, but if a good commercial comes on we probably watch it, am I right? Even when we change the channel though we are changing it from a commercial we hate but we still always remember that ad, i would say that those people did there job even if we do hate the commercial. We watch commercials or look at ads not even realizing that the ad has done its job. Most likely you will buy a product that you have seen in an ad in a magazine or a commercial simply because it was shown on tv so it must be better than the generic brand, probably not though, in fact they are most likely the same exact product with a different logo but you still buy the name brand and this is due to advertising.

Why Did I choose Wright State?
Why did I choose Wright State? That is the million dollar question isnt it? I honestly dont have a solid idea on why i did. My family is from around there so i knew the area pretty while already and i liked the idea of that. I also liked the idea that it was cheaper than most schools but also was a good school at the same time. It is also easy to get a co-op program for engineering. Honestly i liked the fact that we had a pretty decent food court, i know thats kinda funny but its true. Another reason would probably be that it is only an hour from home. I know that this is kind of short but there really isnt a whole lot i can say about why i chose Wright State.

Coming Back Home
Today i came back home for the first time since being a school and I realized how much I actually miss it. I don't know if it is because I do not for completely comfortable at school yet but I am pretty sure that I will feel like that is my home after a few weeks have gone by. I miss the fact that I actually have privacy when I am at home and don't have to worry about offending someone if I accidently say the wrong thing, but that is just part of the real world and I need to get used to it. Another thing that I missed was all of my friends that I have grown up with for years and not being with them feels like I have abandoned my brothers or something it is hard to put an exact word on it. But I'm sure with time I will learn to like it and coming back home won't feel so good.
