New App Critique

    While Cash App is not necessarily a "new" app, it is new to me. I got it about a month ago and it was only because I was buying food for a birthday party and wanted people to chip in. Due to the fact that no one carries money around anymore as everything is digital, it was always hard to ask people to chip in for food. I had already spent a lot on party decorations and there were a lot of people who wanted to eat the pizza I was going to buy so I decided to get Cash App.

    I had seen many of my friends use it before. We would normally ask people if they needed anything before, we left for like a gas station or Walmart, but they could never pay me personally back if I bought them something due to the lack of cash on hand. This meant that my friends would have to Cash App my roommate money and she would have to get it for them if she was going with us. 

    I got the app the night of the party and it went without a catch. I got more people to chip into the payment of the food than ever before. People even Cash Apped me money to pay for the decorations I had bought earlier in the day. Since then, the app has made my life so much easier. If I need to pay my boyfriend back for something he bought for me, I can without having to scrounge around for cash. If one of my friends are going to the gas station, I can move them some money on the app and they can get me whatever and I won't feel bad about asking them for it. This app has been a gamechanger for me and I recommend it for anyone who is in college or a young adult.

8) Public Records (Local)

 Anna McGough Public Records      By definition of Merriam Webster dictionary, public records are "a record made by a public officer or a government agency in the course of the performance of a duty. " Public records are normally fairly easy to find and get. Sometimes, in order to obtain them, you must pay a small fee,  but most are free. Examples of these would include things such as inmate rosters, bankruptcies , birth and death certificates, property  records and much more. When physical copies of newspapers were sent out, the bankruptcies were published on one of the pages as well as the new entities founded in the area.       My family would always look at the bankruptcies and LLCs to see if they knew any of them or to check the goofy names people named their entities. My mom worked for a public accounting firm and would check for client names in those sections of the paper due to them often being published before they could actuall...

19) Classmate Blog Critique

 Anna McGough Classmate Blog Critique     As an art student, I am very familiar  with class critiques. Most of the time, they consist of telling the person highlighted what they could do better and not so much of telling them what they did right. However, this critique will mainly consist of what the highlighted person did right because I see very few flaws.     The classmate I am going to be highlighting is Brittany Hatter. I have had her in quite a few of my classes and I find her to be an excellent person. This, however, should focus on her blogs which I also find to be excellent.      I absolutely love her blog page. The colors that she used are so beautiful along with the picture she used as her cover photo. The aesthetic she used matches her and her personality so well and captures her beautiful personality.      I, more often than not, go to Brittany's page to see what she did and to get an idea of what the assignments ...
