The many forms of art

What is art and why do people use it? I think art is a creative way people express their imagination like drawing, writing, music, dancing and many more. People use it because it shows how they feel or express the way something looks. You can be inspired in many ways to create art. Usually when I feel a certain way I draw or write a story that reflects to what I’m feeling. I use music  . We use Art just to make art sometimes. That’s called inspiration which we find somewhere outside our self.

Anyone can be an artist. Just because you can’t draw a square doesn’t mean you can’t draw, or just because you can’t write a story doesn’t mean you can’t express your ideas on paper. If you can’t think of anything to do something in art use inspiration.

Music is art because when someone makes music in any genre they are being creative by making words rhyme, creating a beat, and using instruments. Music really helps when it comes to art. If it’s the right kind of music it will give you the right kind of motivation to do whatever you enjoy.

People use art for everything. One day hopefully everyone will appreciate art and realize that without art this world would probably be blank.

How much sleep do we really need? Experts agree that an average adult needs about eight to nine hours of sleep every night. How much sleep do they actually get? Studies have shown that adults get about seven hours a sleep on average.

Children and teenagers need even more sleep than adults. They need about nine hours of sleep a night. On average they get about seven hours of sleep a night. There are reasons why children and adults lack sleep.

Stress is a huge reason why people tend to lose sleep every night. It can be stress from school or work but it’ll factor in people’s everyday performance and affect them negatively. Anxiety is also another big reason that some people are sleep deprived.

Losing sleep is very bad for the health mentally and physically. It can keep you from living a productive lifestyle. If you get just the right amount of sleep every night you have a greater chance of performing well in school or work and you’ll feel much better.

Working in a fast food restaurant can be one of the worst and best things you ever do. I work at Taco Bell and people always ask me “do you like your job?” Most times I say “depends on what day you ask me.” Some days I love it while other days I just wanna throw my hat to the ground and storm out the door.

My favorite part about my job has to be my co-workers. Everyone argues like crazy but at the end of the day we’re like a big family. I also love the 50% off discount because I’m always broke so it comes in handy.

My least favorite part about my job is the customers. Some customers are very nice and make your day a little brighter while others are just rude and make you want to scream. The ones who are rude leave trash on the counters, don’t say “thank you,” and complain about the food that was made exactly how they ordered it. If I could have the nice customers my whole shift I would have no issue working.

If you work in a fast food restaurant or even a place where you have to deal with people directly, you’d understand the love-hate relationship I have with my job. If you’re ever in the mood for a taco or a Baja Blast come visit me at the Taco Bell in Franklin Park Mall!

I’m feeling fall

We have many different seasons to enjoy through out the year. These different seasons can give us snow, rain, and hot sun. My favorite season is the one that makes the leaves change colors. I’m talking about fall.

Fall has many different temperatures. Most of the time it’s cool and breezy. This allows me to be able to wear anything that keeps me comfortable. Some days I can wear sweat pants other days I wear hoodies.

My favorite part about this season is Halloween. I love to decorate and dress up. I also love watching scary movies of course. If the movies cant make me afraid to go to sleep, there’s no point in watching them. I enjoy taking part on passing out candy also. It gives me a ton of joy to watch how happy the kids are. It’s one night where we can dress up and be anything we want to be. If all else fails in college I can be a doctor for Halloween and just tell everyone it’s actually my occupation.

The season in general brings a lot of happiness to my life. It’s a point of time where I get very close and involved with my family, friends, and community. I am thankful for the fall and the opportunities and happiness that it brings me.
