Introductory Comma

I'm not sure if this is still available but I found an introductory comma on the wrapping of my water bottle in study hall. Right after the words "On average".

Reality

Reality is not something that is tangible or can be defined for a large group of people. Reality differs from person to person from day to day. It is dynamic and constantly shifting. Reality is what we find to be the most real and live pieces of our days whether it be the sun or the bottle of water on your desk. I think an interesting parallel to this assignment is the movie Inception. The movie consists of different layers of dreams but the individual is still in his or her "reality" throughout the movie. Even though the individual is not in reality that is often misunderstood by people as being the things that are tangible, common, and clear, they are still very much in a reality as all of their actions have very real consequences and they are in very real danger. Diane Arbus was absolutely in reality because these were the images or people that were most alive to her. This makes plenty of sense because these people live by a different set of circumstances and rules and to not hold true to standardized rules and guidelines. Everyday for them is a new experiment without safety or calculated risks. Merriam-Webster defines reality as the quality or state of being real. This is absolutely correct as long as the word real is not misinterpreted. Real is an opinion not a fact. Real is not something that a group can decide on it is a very personal opinion. What may seem real to me may seem ridiculous to someone else. When interpreting someone else's work it is very important to understand that you are on the outside looking in at their reality and not to judge too quickly and carefully absorb all of the facts.

Organization

Facebook is organized by most frequently visited posts or updates to least frequently visited posts or updates. The point of this is that people are most likely interested in what other people have been doing so if people have all frequented the same update then more than likely you will find it interesting as well. Facebook's organization is unique in that it can also be adjusted to what people have done most recently and be organized chronologically.

Statue

This is the statue outside of Tillman Hall, the oldest building in the campus here. It is of Thomas Green Clemson, the founder of Clemson. He is in the same posture as Abraham Lincoln in the Lincoln memorial and it creates a stoic atmosphere for the the presentation of the statue. It gives off a very serious and disciplined tone to its surroundings.
