About Me

 

    Hello, I'm Mason Wills. I am in my first year of college and I am still very much exploring possibilities for what my future will hold. I am majoring in English at LBCC and want to expand my scope of what writing is during my time here. I am taking feature writing for that purpose, expanding my scope in writing. I want to take a wide range of writing classes while at LBCC so I can create more secure goals based around the kind of writing that I enjoy whether it's journalistic writing or another kind of writing all together. Whether or not this class leads to the more secure goals that I seek it still seems like a fun and very useful class on the path there.

    My main three goals that I would like to accomplish during my time in this class include the following: Finding out if I enjoy this form of writing, coming out of my shell a bit more, and improving my scope and abilities in writing. I want to find out if I enjoy this kind of writing because I am still somewhat aimless on what my future will be and I am excited to find out if this class will show me a clearer path. I want to come out of my shell a lot more than I usually do and I feel that this class will be a good jumping off point for that and help me become more confident, not just in writing but also my overall confidence in myself. My last goal is improving my writing capabilities and scope in writing, I believe that this class will allow me to write in ways that I haven't explored very much and improve the quality of my writing in the future. I feel that all of these goals are very achievable for this term and I am excited to start on the road towards them.

A Bumpy Road Through Nowhere, South Dakota

Image
A week and a half into my family's cross-country road trip we found ourselves surrounded by empty fields of grass in the center of South Dakota.  All of us sat quietly in our 32-foot RV barreling down the highway. My dad driving forward staring at the seemingly endless road, mom fiddling with her phone, and me in the back gazing into the flat grass-covered distance. My family had gone on road trips every two years or so and South Dakota was a through point in our journey to St. Louis. We had just left Badlands National Park and entered the great expanse of emptiness of the Midwest. Breaking the silence, mom looked up and announced the reason she had been tapping on her phone for the last eternity. There was a shortcut that would cut down the drive by an hour. We all excitedly accepted this proposal. Maybe it would be a change in scenery. Maybe it would lead to a new adventure. Maybe it would turn out to be a time-consuming and somewhat hilarious misadventure. As we turned onto the

Barry: A Show That Is to Die for

Image
A bathroom door stands open and out steps a man in all black. He looks solemn, sad, and even bored as he walks through the door and across the room. The camera follows him to reveal a man lying in a bed, shot in the head.  The mystery man unscrews a silencer from his pistol and tucks it away into his jacket pocket. He walks away from the bed only to look back one more time, nonchalantly checking his watch, seeming indifferent to the man he has just killed.  This is Barry Berkman. Barry Season 1 Poster Now in its final season, HBO’s “Barry” is a critically acclaimed television show written, directed, and produced by Bill Hader. During its final season “Barry” averages 2.6 million viewers every Sunday. It has had similar viewership for the previous three seasons as well. I binged the first three seasons rather quickly and it is now one of my favorite shows because of its mixing of genres and interesting characters. Starring Hader, the “Saturday Night Live” star, and acting legend Henry W
