Deciding which cellphone to buy can be difficult for some people. I’ve always been prone to androids, especially the Samsung Galaxy. I’ve been a Galaxy user for the last 5 years at least, but every time I upgrade my phone I always consider switching to Apple’s iPhone. I recently decided to finally give Apple a try. I purchased the iPhone 7 in matte black. I absolutely love it so far. The camera is a lot better than the one my old Samsung Galaxy s7 had. The pictures are sharper and more vibrant. A lot of people were complaining because apple removed the headphone jack; but instead they provided an adapter so people can still use headphones or aux cords if they prefer. The security is definitely a lot better on the iPhone. It’s harder to get a virus which is a great benefit because my androids somehow always ended up with one. The iPhone 7 has dual stereo speakers so the sound quality is the best I’ve ever heard on a phone. The features on the iPhone 7 blow Samsung out of the water. I am particularly fond of the handwritten message feature. FaceTime is very easy to use and a great way to communicate with family and friends. I also love how easily it connects to my Apple TV. With my Samsung I used to use Google Chromecast to stream onto the TV. But the Apple TV is faster and comes with a lot more apps and features. There are some things about the Galaxy that I miss, but not enough to make me switch back. The battery lasts longer on the Galaxy. The screen is slightly bigger and also brighter. Both of the phones are water and dust resistant. Overall, I am very happy with my decision to buy the iPhone 7. I don’t see myself switching back to Samsung anytime soon.

I recently watched a movie called The Accountant which was written by Bill Dubuque. It was probably one of the best movies I've seen in a while. Ben Affleck stars as the main character, Chris Wolff. The movie starts out showing Wolff as a child, being diagnosed with a form of autism. He was also antisocial and showed forms of obsessive compulsive disorder. At that time, he had some behavioral problems but was extremely smart. His father was in the military and his mom had problems dealing with him. The movie shows some other hard times in Wolff's early life, which I won't spoil for you... When Wolff gets older, he becomes an accountant. He's not just any accountant, he works for mobsters and other criminals. His line of work becomes dangerous but with his upbringing, he is able to defend himself. Anna Kendrick stars as Dana Cummings, whom Wolff meets when he gets hired for a job at the robotics firm. It turns out that Cummings had found a 61 million dollar discrepancy in the books. They work together trying to figure it out, which puts both of their lives in immediate danger. It seems as though she is one of the only people he gets along with. Although the movie might make you think it could be a budding relationship, it never happens. This movie was very entertaining and not like any other. I like the fact that it educates the audience on mental disorders such as autism and OCD. At the same time, it shows that people with metal disabilities have skills and talents that make up for their disorders. In this case, Wolff was a math genius and basically a hitman. Overall, I really enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to anyone who wants to watch something thought provoking. Today I'm going to write about one of my favorite new places, the Chester Creek Trail. As you know, I recently moved into a new apartment. It just so happens that the Chester Creek Trail is in walking distance from my new place. The trail is about 2.8 miles long. It runs from Lenni, PA to Upland, PA along Chester Creek. Although I've only lived here for two weeks, I've already walked the trail four times. This trail was a 6.5 million dollar project. I believe that this is a great addition to the community. People now have a safe place to walk, run, ride bikes, and so much more. Personally, I enjoy walking the trail at night. It's very peaceful and it's a good place to clear my head. At night there is rarely anyone else on the trail. All I can hear is the sound of the creek and occasionally sounds from different animals. One night I was walking and stumbled upon a herd of about 8 deer. I'm a huge nature lover so this is definitely the place for me. It's a great place to exercise without feeling like you actually did any work. I usually walk from the beginning of the trail to the end and then back, because that's where my apartment is. Round trip would be about 5.6 miles. I love bringing my friends on the trail and telling them the history of the town. I grew up in this area so I'm very familiar with the surroundings. My parents have also told me a lot of stories because they grew up in this area as well. Another benefit of this trail is getting a break from social media and just my phone in general. I rarely use my phone when I'm on the trail, which really helps me to relax and just enjoy the scenery. I definitely recommend this trail to anyone who loves the outdoors, loves to exercise, or even someone who just wants to get out of the house.
For my first student choice blog, I decided to write about what's going on in my life outside of school and work. My boyfriend and I just recently moved into our first apartment together. I've basically lived with my parents for the last 26 years so this has been a big change for me. Things are a lot different for me than they were a few weeks ago. I have a lot more responsibilities. The last week has been filled with long days spent shopping for things for the apartment, then assembling and putting them away. Speaking of things for the apartment, our patio set just came in yesterday and I was more excited than a kid on Christmas. We bought our couch from LoveSac, which is something I've wanted for the last ten years. It feels really good to be able to decorate the way we like it. Decorating the apartment has made me have a lot more respect for the people on HGTV. We also spend a lot of time at the grocery store which led me to my recent discovery of Costco!!! Now I know why my sister is obsessed with their pot-stickers. Needless to say, I don't know how I ever lived without that place. Although we have been busy, we've found plenty of free time to enjoy ourselves. One night we went out to dinner with my parents at Agave Mexican Cuisine and really enjoyed the BYOB margaritas. The nachos were also amazing! Other nights, we stay in and watching movies and relax together. I'm enjoying having someone to do everything with. Even the simple things like doing laundry, cooking and cleaning are better now. I love having a place to call home together. I don't think I've ever been happier.
