Does This Mean I'm Cool?

Good Afternoon Bri Twigg Blog Readers,
Today marks one month until my birthday. How exciting? It isn't a mile stone birthday, just another one for the books, but for me, it's still important. Now that it is fall I am so much more relaxed. Fall is my favorite season not just for nature's beauty, but for the personal beauty brought out in me.
Kicking off this fall semester hasn't been as easy as I'd hoped.  For many people Bri Twigg is this very energetic, quirky, bubbly, girl that is a blast to be around. For me being Bri Twigg is a joy and a burden. Coming back to school and facing unexpected challenges has taken a lot of the "Bri Twigg" away from me. Slowly however Bri is making her way back.

One of the best things that happened thus far in the semester is getting my picture on the Mac Wall. We visit the McIntosh Center on high school tours and as you enter the building, one of the first things the tour guides explains is how awesome it is if you get your picture on the Mac Wall. Well ladies and gents, I've done it. Bri Twigg is singularly featured on the wall by the Wishing Well. At first glance however, you would not think it's me. I'm not dressed as Bri Twigg, I'm Dressed as Brent Log (all puns intended).
Last semester I dressed in drag to support the Open Doors' Rubi Affair event. By participating in the event I helped not only raise awareness for the LGBT and Alliance community, but proceeds from the event went to help out the Lima, Ohio's Aids Resource Center. Though I did not win the show, I won the hearts of the audience and the Rubi Girls (the drag queens from Dayton, OH).
As the semester progresses I plan to take this honor and use it to motivate me to success. Though I know I shouldn't brag, I am completely excited to be on the Mac Wall. ONU has given me so many great opportunities to grow and achieve greatness. I am excited to see what fall has in store.
Until later,
Bri

Is Apple Still No. 1?

I am an Apple fan. I have a MacBook Air, an iPhone 6, and have had various iPods. They are always coming out with the a bigger and better Apple product with the most high tech system upgrades. However, it seems that they are never the first to tell you about the "bugs" with these upgrades.
Apple just released the iOS 9 update. I gives iPhone lovers a new way to experience their seemingly never changing device. Yes, from the first iPhone to the now iPhone 6s/6s Plus there have been significant changes, but for the most part there are no real differences. From what I have experienced of the new iOS 9 update, its pretty cool. It took some getting use to with how you close apps now, but other than that I haven't had any major problems.... until I saw an article on Facebook.

While taking my daily scroll through the beloved Facebook, I saw an article about the Apple iOS 9 update and had to read it. For those of us with limited data the iOS 9 update may not be our friend. It has this setting that allows your data to be used if your phone doesn't feel a strong enough wifi connection. So not only did we pay a lot for this smart little tiny computer, but now it will cause our bills to skyrocket. In order to prevent this, you can go to your settings and at the very bottom of the cellular section there is an option to turn it off.
So before we go praising Apple for being the bomb dot com, we need to evaluate what they aren't telling us. I will continue to by Apple products, but I wish they would be more open about the bugs that come along with their newest updates.
