Google Maps Project for Class
This is but one of the programs available to people through Google. Google allows for people to create a map and put specific markers on the map in order to signify different places. Whether it be showing open pools for the public, giving people places to eat or recognizing fun spots to go in the city, this function in Google is spectacular for marking the map.

Big Sean Swoopin' In
To start, those of you who don't go to UNF and attend/attended/plan to attend a less significant university, "swoopin'" is slang used by UNF students to signify that someone is coming and sometimes even used during dead silence.
Big Sean came to UNF and he was pretty spectacular. In some more "the more you know, but probably already know" news, Big Sean is not that big.
The opening act was Asher Roth and he performed "I Love College" and that's the only relevant news surrounding his act. He did connect with the crowd at one point that was there and began his concert by running to the stage from the audience, but the majority of the audience (including myself) only showed up for Big Sean.
The concert was held outdoors and the weather was perfect even with the amount of heat drawn from the crowd. The large area made it easy to locate friends (even in the pitch dark) and also made it easy to socialize at the beginning of the concert. It was available to UNF students for free and $15 for non-UNF students and sold out. There was also a beer stand available for 21 years or older people.
Now to the actual concert:
Big Sean performed how most performers do in my experience: "hype" material, new material and old material. His hype material was him free styling over one of his instrumentals in order to catch the audience off guard and get them excited for a great concert. He then progressed to new material to present an "underground" sneak peek to his upcoming product to possibly bring in new followers. To end the concert, Big Sean played his newest songs like "I Don't (profanity) With You", "Guap", "Clique", "My Last" and "One Man Can Change The World". The live performance of these songs were definitely the pinnacle of the concert and were relatable to all audiences even if they weren't familiar with the songs.
Big Sean also discussed his background and gave commentary as to why his songs were written by speaking of stories relating to his grandmother, past struggles and individuals who have came and gone through his life to encourage him. He related to an audience who has had their fair share of struggles throughout college and represented perseverance and success.
Big Sean, though he does have his moments of profanity, was mostly a positive role model for the crowd. Also, on another note, if you don't like Big Sean then, to quote the man of the hour, I DON'T **** WITH YOU!

#BallIsLife
BASKETBALL (pre) SEASON IS BACK!!! See how diverse I can get with sports? Going from football to basketball in a matter of weeks. And if you remember how I said I was in three fantasy football leagues and that I should focus more on football, I'll have you know fantasy football is going great! I know what you're thinking: "Dude, teams that are 1-2 don't make the playoffs, let alone make the championship." The Seahawks are 1-2 (as of right now) and they won the championship sooooo FACE.
Anyways, that's why I'm on basketball now. According to an article on Sporteology, basketball is the third major sport played in the world after cricket and soccer. Being Filipino, I grew up playing basketball and it was something I kept up with frequently. I ask here that you do not judge how Filipino's play basketball based off Manny Pacquiao. His hair actually just gets in his eyes when he plays. With a headband, he's a lot better.
The NBA is something that is definitely worth watching. In my freshman year of college, during NBA playoffs it gave a nice point of reference to talk about whenever I saw another student watching the game in the TV room, playing 2k14 or wearing a jersey representing their favorite team. With it being such a world renowned sport I was actually to talk to some people who were foreign and it would be difficult to communicate, but having an easier point of reference made the language barrier less of a challenge. For future reference, if a person is wearing a jersey that isn't a Knicks jersey, then you probably shouldn't associate yourself with said individual. Just saying.
Not only does it give a strong point of reference when talking to someone new, but it gives you a new sport to try and enjoy. When you see people like Blake Griffin or Stephen Curry do the things they do in basketball, it makes you want to go out, practice and work on playing like them. Granted, I can barely touch the rim and can't shoot to save my life, it's fun to play with friends.
Though there isn't much to say now on NBA basketball because it's preseason, expect more to come and keep up with the sport because it is worth watching. Like most media-entertainment based activities, it is a healthy distraction from reality and gives the audience something to look forward to, something to get excited about and something to learn from. For example, you miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take, but that doesn't mean you have to be cocky about the ones you do take.
Follow me on social media and the GIF changes so Swaggy P makes the shot!

Just kidding, Swaggy P missed because that shot was against the Knicks.
