*Ok, so I haven’t really had time to write a new entry lately with schoolwork and such, so I decided to put up an essay I recently wrote for my Sociology class. It’s really analytical not only to the topic, but to myself as well. Take a read if you like, and I hope you enjoy it.* A subculture is a group that is very distinct in its qualities and norms that branch of a larger, primary culture. They are identified from the specific differences from the primary culture whether it’s in clothes, music, or beliefs. Subcultures can range from various topics such as religion, race, ethnicity, sports, or occupation. It helps define a person down to the smallest detail. It allows people to be judged for what groups they’re in and how committed they are to it. One of the subcultures I identify with is the track & field team at UMass Lowell.

I hope I can universally satisfy all these holidays without leaving any of them out. 2011 is coming to a close, and it’s about that time again to sit back and think about all the good times and bad times we all had. We just think about these memories one more time before we shove them back into the farthest end of our heads and make room for 2012. That is, if we don’t have to worry about the end of the world that these Mayans apparently are predicting. ...

Well, as promised, I decided to put up another post. It’s been a while since I was able to get my thoughts outs, so it’s good to get it all in here. It’s been a crazy month, and it’s only going to get crazier. The semester is almost over, finals are approaching, and winter break is just around the corner. Also, I even landed a job for the break. I’m a bit shocked myself. Go working class! ...
