The importance of Water



Hey everyone, it's me Tiffany, with yet again another blog. Today my topic is over why water is so important and how often we waste it. In the video it stated that only three percent of water on the planet is fresh, but only a third of that humans have access to. The water stopped being freshwater when fish and other species came about. We use water so much every day for showers, to drink, for our vehicles, etc. There are so many things that we use it for. It is something that we definitely take full advantage of because it is always there. Every summer my family would empty our pool water and clean the pool and then refill it. That is a lot of water to go through every summer and our water bill showed for it too. Water is just something that we need to pay more attention to how we use it, because if it were ever to run out, we would all become very sick or even die.

I was challenged once, and now i'm passing the challenge on to everyone who reads this blog. For one week write down in a journal every time you used water, what it was for, how much did you use, and how much of it was wasted each time. You will find that you use a lot of water in one week, but yet most of the water is wasted.


So take the challenge and see how it puts your mind into perspective. It definitely put mine into perspective.

Apple Vs. android

http://whatculture.com/technology/apple-vs-android-is-the-iphone-4s-already-dead.php


Hey everyone, it's me Tiffany again for yet another post. Today i want to talk about Apple products vs. Android products and which one is the better buy or the better product based on features. There are some people that only like apple, there are some that only like android, and their are some that like both. I fit into the category of liking both products. I own an Ipod touch that i love. I have tons of music on there and plenty of apps. There is a lot of memory on it so that it can hold all of my stuff needed or wanted on there. However when choosing a phone, i went with an Android product, the DroidX2. I have been very pleased with my phone, I always have good service and can do pretty much anything I want on my phone. The only issue I ever have with my phone is that it doesn't stay charged very long. With apple products, you can do pretty much anything that you could do on your computer as well as with an android product. When it comes to apps. I would have to choose apple over droid just because droid is so limited to the apps. that they can get. I personally love apple's app. temple run. I have to play temple run on my ipod because droid doesn't carry that app. I think it is an equal draw between the two products and I am happy with both products that I own. I would recommend either product to anyone who asks. Which product do you like best?

UCA Greek Village vs. Nature Reserve nearby

http://ucaecho.net/news/university-soon-to-have-greek-village/


Hey, its me Tiffany Frisby again. Today I am going to talk about The University of Central Arkansas and the future building of Greek village and the effect on the nearby nature reserve. I am glad that they are building a Greek Village and I think that it will be a great addition to the campus and very helpful to students here at UCA. I was concerned about it being extremely close to the nature reserve but after reading this article I was reassured that it would not be touched. UCA is working close with the owners of the nature reserve to make sure that nothing in the nature reserve is messed with. Greek Village will be south of the nature reserve. All students in Greek Village will have a place to stay when it is built instead of being spread all over campus. Their chapter rooms will also be located in Greek village so that they don't have to meet in other dorms such as Carmichael hall, or Arkansas hall. It will be a more convenient place for all the greeks to meet where they are not disturbing anyone. The only issue is that I see is all the trees that are going to be cut down in this process of building, but that is something that happens in college towns, or in big cities. The nature eventually disappears so that new buildings can be built to help corporations in cities. All in all, I agree with the building of Greek Village at The University of Central Arkansas.
