Annotated Bib.
"You're going to write a paper about writing a paper, but you're not going to write the paper". Okay, what? When I got assigned the annotated bibliography I had no idea how it even worked. In the end when I was able to finally figure it out, it wasn't that bad.

If you're happy and you know it, listen to these songs. No? Okay just me. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who listens to certain songs or a type of music when I'm in a good mood. I just so happen to listen to the songs listed above when I am feeling great. Each song is different, but they all make me want to dance and sing my head off.

Young and Beautiful
Beautiful definition pleasing the senses or mind aesthetically. Lana del Rey begins her music video with a zoom in on her face. She is showing how beautiful her make up looks and she gives off this very classy presence. If Del Rey would have dress very trashy, then the viewers wouldn't really understand the video since it is titled Young and Beautiful therefore she showed how she is young and beautiful.

Remember to Tip Your Waitress
Len Penzo's article It’s as American as Apple Pie, how common it is for an American to go to a restaurant and simply leaving a tip. Penzo explains how some restaurants include the tip on the bill, and how others have a no tip policy. He disagrees with both, but mainly with the no tip policy. He states that its a custom for Americans to leave a tip according to the service the costumer received. Lastly, he believes that taking away the option of leaving a tip can cause the consumer to obtain a horrible experience at the restaurant.
