Dear Motavation,

Warning: What you are about to read is a product of a major headache, high internal body temprature, and overall current bad mood. Proceed with caution.

Sara Cody
Major: Sociology
Status: Almost Graduated


Yup! That's me, "almost graduated"! That at least is what my roommates and I have named my current situation. I got the opportunity to walk this Spring and am just missing 4 credits. My initial thought is, "Really, what am I going to learn in 4 credits?" but I signed up for the classes anyway.

So I am currently taking 2 online classes. 1 is about art, super boring lectures online and I am also required to go to performances. If I have learned anything in the last 4 years at USU, it is that if I am required to do ANYTHING, the motivation to get it done drops like to "negative a thousand!"

My other class is Social Psychology. This is a psychology class that I have to take to be a sociologist?! OKAY?! That being said, the whole class, that I am taking online, is everything I have learned in my program in the last 4 years wrapped up into one class. Am I grateful for the reminder, not today. Do I think I need this class to succeed? No.

So, what I am trying to say is I have LOTS of homework and don't want to do any of it... therefore I am blogging, and Facebooking, and eating Cheerios (a dry mix of honey nut and Banana Nut (which are only found at WalMart-- I'm a bad person!)).

Here is a list:

5 Things I have learned at USU
1. Pizza always tastes better at "Matilda's".
2. There is a disease called "Cat scratch disease" (Totally going to have to blog about this one day!)
3. Sociologists don't shop at WalMart.
4. I have NO motivation to finish this.

PSA: You Didn't Win Halloween & Neither Did I

Last night my social media feed was filled with photos of friends attending their weekend parties in their Halloween costumes. There were a couple families and friend groups who were the cast of Napoleon Dynamite, a hilarious couple who went as their dogs, Curious George and the man in the Yellow Suite, and even Tess and Emily Tyler (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen from Billboard Dad). People are so creative when it comes to Halloween costumes! I am so not! But then I saw a couple’s costume I was so unbelievable uncomfortable with. alloween It was on Snapchat. Two people, one had painted himself brown to depict a character, a “hero” from a TV show we all watched in high school. Not just face painted, but arms, neck, chest. Then they added the chains. This, to that couple was a costume, but this also has a name, and that name is “blackface”. Minstrel shows started in the mid to late 19 th century, where white actors would paint their face to depict blacks on stage. The acto

Who Used All the Black Crayon?

Guys, I am used to about 14 views each post. That's it (which is weird, because I post every blog link to my family's Facebook group and there are 40 of us in there... Thanks guys!). I was not expecting that many hits on one post, but I got it, and it has sparked a lot of conversation that I feel to be very productive. I have been so honored by the respect I have been given from those who’s opinions differ from mine, and the dialogue we have been able to have on the matter of race in today's society. Some of the best conversations have come from the, "But why?" question. But why is that offensive? On Facebook I shared this Vox link , so I won't get into that, but I do want to take some time to talk about taking offense. Life is a collection of experience. After one is written into our book, the next experience will be affected because of it. In kindergarten, I had a true Corrina, Corrina experience in class, when someone asked, "Who used all
