  Anastazja Ball Sept. 2024 The Sweet Taste of Plastic The food you're eating is actually filled with chemicals and synthetic ingredients: Here is a breakdown of some of the chemicals, and why it is important to start paying attention.  You finally decided it's time to start taking care of your body; eating better and maybe even cooking more meals at home. You made it all the way to the grocery store and are ready to shop. You start at the produce section grabbing everything organic from watermelon to strawberries. You decide to skip the bacon this time, instead grabbing the steak labeled “all natural” and putting it in the cart. You pass by the ice cream aisle and try a new favorite dairy free dessert. But none of those things you grabbed were remotely organic; the watermelon practically engineered down to the texture and color, the steak pumped with antibiotics and hormones, and the dairy free ice cream you grabbed? It's got plenty of dairy in it.  You might find yourse...

Like Reshma in the second chapter of the book, I myself was born with a traditionally Polish name chosen by my mother, a Polish immigrant. I grew up under the nickname Anya, something more easily digestible for others, and only until I got older did I understand the significane of my parents decisions. I then chose to embrace my name and parents struggle to make a better life for themselves and family, I began going by Anastazja.   By reading this book, I am hoping to gain some more perspective on my own families decisions, as well as hearing other experiences living as an “outsider” in the United States.

  Anastazja  Sep. 3, 2024 Job Description My job is the biggest blessing I have ever received; working as a DJ and pursuing my passion in music. Outside of being a student I work as a DJ, formerly known as Disc Jockey. My responsibility is to curate good vibes in any kind of environment; I know I have succeeded when I can see people dancing and singing freely, nodding their heads to the beat of a new song.  As a DJ, my job is not just about playing everyone's favorite music, but understanding and exploring music at its core, as well as managing technical and financial responsibilities. The best part about my job is that the day to day looks completely different and every gig, or booking, brings a different adventure. I also get to explore endless albums and sites for music, opening my ears to a world of different tastes. Overall, my job consists of two major responsibilities; The fun stuff;   Selecting Music Live Performance The not so fun stuff; Emails Contractual A...
