This years 2020 super bowl half time show starred Jennifer Lopez and Shakira. I thought the Super bowl was an amazing game and to be honest I think it was the first time i’ve actually watched the game. Ever since I was youngI used to look forward to watching the half time show but this year seemed different. I definitely noticed lots of political ads during the commercials and I thought it was rare that Donald trump had his own add during the game to vote for him. I also noticed lots of gun right commercials that were very personal with specific families. During the half time show I thought there was only women on stage and they were trying to represent Women’s Empowerment but they were expressing their latin culture and even Jlo’s daughter performed in the half time show. At the end of the show I didn’t quite understand what it was standing for but after doing more research and reading I saw on how the little girls were in cages, and they were representing the hundreds of kids at our borders. she sang loud and proud “Born in the USA” “lets get loud” as in “we have a voice” #LatinosStandingUp #superbowl

Being in college is hard, and frustrating financially. Well for me it is because i’m finally living on my own and realizing how expensive things are. One specific thing that sticks out to me is food! College students are learning how to use their money wisely but I feel like it’s so much more convenient for us to go to Mcdonald’s and get a $3.00 burger rather than going to the grocery store and spending $6.00 – $10.00 on fruits and vegetables. I feel as a college student it should be the other way around and we should be getting all the nutrients and vitamins possible. Even for people who aren’t college students but aren’t necessarily the most wealthy and have children and a family to feed cant afford healthy groceries and tend to go to fast food restaurants because it’s cheap and convenient.
