Being someone who enjoys staying at home with a good book and a hot cup of tea, I thought heading to the San Jose Bar & Grill for their “$2 TWOSdays” would be a good “fish out of water” challenge for me.
I had never been to a bar and grill before, but I knew what the atmosphere was like because of movies and television shows.
I arrived around 11 p.m., music blasting and bar filled with mostly white and Mexican college students.
It was dark, smelly and loud — how could people even see each other and have a conversation?
Although it wasn’t too crowded, there was very little walking space because the actual bar was in the middle of the entire room.
There were rainbow disco lights flashing around the dance floor, but everyone was sitting at or standing around the tables on the opposite side of the room.
Nobody headed toward the dance floor until about an hour later.
I was extremely disappointed when I was told there was no “grill” in the bar.
If a place is called “San Jose Bar & GRILL,” shouldn’t they offer food?
When I left the bar, I saw someone preparing tacos on my immediate left.
It was then I realized that the grill was outside while the bar was inside.
Anyone that wanted food had to exit the bar and order his or her food outside.
This meant that if someone wanted to return to the bar, he or she would have to wait in line to be carded again.
What an annoying process.
The one thing I learned during that night was that walking out of a bar with an open cup of water is not a good idea because police could easily believe it is filled with alcohol.
I chose this bar because my roommate entertained the idea and thought it would be fun to see what happens since I’ve never been out with her before.
Overall, it was an interesting experience but I would prefer to be at a restaurant where I can order drinks, eat food and be able to talk to my friends at the same time.

Classmate Profile
Heather Miller, a 20-year-old San Jose State University student, has always held dancing close to her heart.
At the young age of three, she noticed her next-door neighbor leaving and coming back from dance practice and wished she could do the same.
It wasn’t long until she joined the Orange County Dance Center in hopes to satisfy her longing to become a dancer.
As she grew older, her passion grew stronger.
After spending so much time with the OCDC, she knew that she made a good choice in her decision to dance.
She continued to work harder as if every day was her last day dancing.
However, she knew she had to leave eventually to start higher education.
“It was hard leaving them because they were like my other family,” Miller said.
Miller had been dancing with them for 15 years.
When it was time for her to choose a major at San Jose State University, she decided to be reasonable and choose broadcast journalism because dance would be too competitive.
She may enjoy her undergraduate career, but it would be incredibly hard to make it in the world of dance.
Although dance is not her main focus at SJSU, it doesn’t stop her from finding other ways to do it.
Alpha Xi Delta, her sorority, has a philanthropy that allows her to show-off her talent for a good cause.
“Heather is a such a determined person,” Callie Miller, Heather’s mom, said. “Joining Alpha Xi Delta has really helped her grow into a great and strong woman.”
However, Miller had not always been comfortable with putting herself in the spotlight.
Without dance, she would not have the confidence she has today.
“When I’m dancing on stage, I can’t see the audience because the lights are shining on us,” Miller said.
“But when I danced on my high school’s dance team, we could actually see the people and their reactions.”
As well as studying broadcast journalism, she is still pushing on toward minoring in dance.
“Dancing is something that you can’t really lose,” Miller said. “Your passion will be with you your whole life.”
Her roommate and friend, Mary Knezovich, said that Miller is always smiling or dancing whenever she sees her.
Miller’s goal in life is to work with the NBC Today Show in New York and become a Radio City Rockette on the side.
“You might as well dream big,” Miller said.

Campus-Related News Story
The Student Union hosted the Student Appreciation Festival on Thursday in Quirke’s Meadow, the grassy area behind the Aquatic Center.
Although the festival was stated in their advertisements to begin at 11:30 a.m., students stood in line earlier with eagerness to receive their free items.
Before students were allowed in, an alternative and indie band started the party to pump students up.
While students rushed in, they were presented with a plethora of free items including chocolate milk, tampons and raffle tickets to concerts and to Disneyland.
However, they shortly realized there were more lines to wait in.
“I think it was a great way for students to spend some time between their classes and get free stuff,” said senior journalism major Rafael Ochoa. “But I feel that the lines were long and that discouraged people to come and participate.”
The various lines turned into a crowd very quickly.
Although there was a great turnout, some students didn’t think they should have to wait around.
“Student Appreciation Festival is fun,” said senior journalism major Christiana Cobb. “But in reality, they should be giving me my shirt in the mail because I paid for it.”
The special prizes were provided by the Spartan Bookstore.

Blog Post #3: Comparing Media
Although there was no coverage of Miss America 2014, Nina Davuluri, in the Monday issue of San Francisco Chronicle, San Jose Mercury News had a mediocre three-column story with information “compiled from staff and wire reports.”
There were no other stories in this issue.
While the headline stated, “Miss New York Nina Davuluri crowned 2014 Miss America,” half the story was about Theresa Vail, the first contestant to “openly display tattoos.”
There were only two sources quoted, one being Vail on Twitter.
This story did not mention any of the controversy that has been popular recently.
It was accompanied with a contributing photo of Davuluri wearing the crown on her head.
NBC Bay Area’s online news page featured another story on Davuluri with a different angle.
Unlike the coverage in the San Jose Mercury News, NBC mentioned more than just the facts of what happened at the Miss America pageant.
In 345 words, writer Colin Bertram discussed the hateful messages toward Davuluri that were posted all over Twitter, many stated that Davuluri should not have been crowned because of her race.
There were various tweets referenced in the story that both supported and “detracted” Davulari.
This story included six different sources, one being Davuluri herself, and seemed to be more about broadcast coverage.
ABC News’ television coverage was a mere one minute and 53 seconds, but a lot was mentioned.
From Davuluri becoming the first Indian-American to the history of the Miss America pageant, more information was shared.
Although there weren’t any quotes, clips were shown of various sources, two including contestants, who provided short statements.
The details in television news coverage are not specific but are instead centered on entertaining people.
Like the newspaper, the backlash on Twitter was not mentioned in the television coverage.

Blog Post #2: Your Favorite Writing
During the summer, I decided to read The Fault in Our Stars by John Green after all the positive reviews I've read and heard about.
I was surprised that it exceeded my expectations.
The Fault in Our Stars is about a 16-year-old cancer patient named Hazel Grace Lancaster who ends up falling in love with a boy she meets at her support group.
Although cancer is painful to read about and not something many people talk about, Green does an exceptional job of creating a story that makes readers laugh and smile, all while being witty.
Nonetheless, there are still moments of sadness.
I believe this is a part of what makes John Green an incredible writer.
He chooses a difficult topic to write about but turns it into something relatable without blurring the harsh reality of cancer and the effects it has on its victims.
"'Grief does not change you, Hazel. It reveals you,'" he writes on page 286.
He captures the very essence of a cancer patient in 313 pages - how she thinks, how she acts and how she dreams - and turns her character into something very real.
The Fault in Our Stars was written by John Green and published in 2012.

Blog Post #1: All About Me
Hi there!
My name is Amaris Mang and I'm currently a fourth year student at San Jose State.
I'm studying Advertising and working on a minor in Nutrition and Food Sciences.
I am a production editor for the Spartan Daily and the online editor for the Spartan Magazine Club's new magazine, Vine.
I also work as aslave sales associate and shipment lead at American Eagle Outfitters in Westfield Valley Fair.
I think that working retail is something everyone should try at least once in their lives.
If I could do anything I wanted in my spare time, I would choose to go snowboarding.
Unfortunately, there is no snow here so I like to read (books, magazines, social media) and update my lifestyle blog from time to time.
I am always looking for new things to do - places to eat, movies to watch and art to make.
As you can probably tell, I'd rather have too many things to do than not enough things.
I would classify myself as one of the worst writers in the world, but I like to think that I am good at spelling.
I am aiming to be part of the layout design team for Real Simple magazine, but my ultimate goal is to publish my own magazine.
