Stop Hating on Female Musicians
In the article, “Stop Hating on Female Musicians”, University of Michigan student William DeGood brings up the fact that many males tend to dislike on female artists music. After a little bit of research DeGood brings up that it is a fact that straight males tend to listen to music that’s more aggressive and violent rather softer music.
DeGood brings up how growing up he would listen to bands like AC/DC, Guns & Roses, and other rock groups to feel like he was strong. He also brings up the fact that a lot of songs that female artists make can focus on sexual empowerment and women’s society. A good example DeGood brings up is the fact that when guys hear this at first they think of it as “annoying”.
At first guys definitely will think of this style of pop music as not their type of music, but what William does not bring up is that a lot of guys will listen to the song again on their own time. Many males will listen to softer music on their own time and try to act like a tuff guy around women.
Overall, guys should not have to act so tough even when it comes to music, but will do anything to impress a female sadly. They should be able to listen and act however they want regardless of if a girl is around them or not.
Traveling Fast and Slow
In the article, “Traveling Fast and Slow”, University of Michigan student Emma Sorter brings up how vacation can be an enjoyable experience but everything also happens so fast. She brings up the fact that she tried slow travel but prefers the three day quick experience.
Traveling is different for everyone no where you go. People will always have certain plans or activities they want to do on vacation that can make a trip feel like a lot. On one hand people want to lay down and tan at the pool or beach and others want to do activities like four wheeling.
Fast traveling will give you more a different experience, you get to go to multiple cities or states and see the different ways that people live their lives in each area. Some fast travel can even include an educational stop or something as simple as planning to go to a certain place to eat forever.
Slow travel is much more relaxing, you are typically in one spot your whole trip doing one thing a day. When you are done it’s usually time to relax at the Resort or at a beach for the rest of the day. Slow travel can also let you learn more about the culture in the place they are staying at as well.
In the end no matter if you enjoy fast travel or slow travel, vacation is a time to enjoy getting away from what you have going on in your life. It does not matter what the travel style is as long as you are enjoying the time with you and your loved ones and are able to relief some stress.
