a Golden State Warriors cap

  • A hard cap on the salary gains of the Golden State Warriors is concerning as it jeopardizes the team dynamic. 
  • Not only that but not everyone is a fan of the warriors, therefore it’s offensive to see posts regarding a team not everyone enjoys.

Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 34

  • The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 34 shoes are not the best running shoe to buy because they are overpriced compared to other companies, and due to the curved sole they are not wearable for flat-footed individuals.

 the “explicit lyrics” label on a best-selling rap CD

  • Many people argue that the “explicit lyrics” label on CDs is in fact not purely explicit, but a person simply expressing themselves. 

the health warnings on a package of cigarettes

  • Health warnings on cigarette packages are non-effective due to the fact they are FDA approved and very easily accessible. The warning labels serve more of a purpose to fulfill legal requirements instead of actually hindering people from choosing to smoke. In the year 2020, 203.7 billion cigarettes were sold and consumed throughout the year.

a Tesla Model 3 electric car

  • Teslas are a great step towards lessening our carbon footprint. They are making advances in sustainable energy seeing as they were able to improve by 5,000 more Gigawatt hours of energy produced by solar panels making their total 2,000 gigawatt hours. 

a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses

  • Expensive (???)
  • They looks sick, an investment 

Ray-Ban sunglasses are the best sunglasses to buy because they look nice and last several years, with the proper care. Ray-Ban’s also offer full UV protection, which makes them worth buying compared to other sunglasses.

Introduction

Hi everyone! My name is Alessandra and I use she/her pronouns. I am a freshman and it is my second semester here at USF. I have yet to declare a major but I am leaning towards Critical Diversity Studies with a minor in Legal Studies. I was born and raised in Livonia, Michigan a small suburban city right outside Detroit. Michigan is a state that tends to go unnoticed, summers at home with all our fresh water lakes and untouched land in the north are really beautiful. Although, I really prefer living in San Francisco. I am happiest when I am outside, doing something active, or staying busy. I love all the parks in the city but my favorite is definitely Mission Dolores Park. Writing is my weakest academic skill but that is exactly why I’m looking forward to this class so that I can not be intimidated by writing and instead use it as a powerful tool I feel confident using. Excited to get to know you all!
