Week 2 EOC: Boston Consulting Group - Video Games

Every market has numerous ups and downs over time, the gaming industry is no different. Trends come and go and not all systems can keep up. Nintendo may end up being a rising star this year according to their new amazing "Nintendo NX" ,  With one of our all time favorites, Smash Bros is planned to be a launch title. I am not sure about the date - yet." We'll reach out to Nintendo and Bandai Namco to confirm the legitimacy of the rumor. The Nintendo NX will be unlike any console the company has on the market, according to new Nintendo President Tatsumi Kmishima. In one of his first major public interviews since transitioning to President of Nintendo, Kimishima Opened up about nintendo NX to Time's Matt Peckham. "As far as NX goes, I've said it's different and obviously a new experience," Kimishima said. "That being said, I can assure you we're not building the next version of Wii or Wii U. It's something unique and different. It's something where we have to move away from those platforms in order to make it something that will appeal to our consumer base."  http://www.techradar.com/us/news/gaming/nintendo-nx-release-date-news-and-rumors-1289401. Making a huge comeback this year with games that are fun for the entire family. Not only will we be having Smath Bro's but we are also expecting a new Mario Tennis ultra smash, Zelda, and many more including pokemon. "The reality is that all we know for sure is that The Legend of Zelda for the Wii U has been pushed out of 2015 and won't be showing up for this year's highly anticipated E3. Given that Nintendo has labeled the game as TBD – to be determined – could mean many things, such as a 2016 release with no actual date, or it could be a 2017 release. We don't know. Hopefully the delay isn't as bad as it looks and the game is coming sooner than later. - See more at: http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Legend-Zelda-Wii-U-Confirmed-2016-Yet-71787.html#sthash.5Zx20Ils.dpuf.

Week 1 EOC My voice

Fashion is my number one passion. Since I was a little girl, I loved playing with my dolls and making clothes for them even without having any type of knowledge in sewing, I still did. I even created  things for my sister and cousins although it was never anything competitive, it was always something I did purely for fun and because I enjoyed it so much. One of my biggest inspiration and influence of all time was my family. Growing up with vain aunts can be inspiring and my aunts were without any doubt my number one source of inspiration growing up. Once I understood people needed to have jobs and all, it was so clear to me what I wanted to do with my life. I was never the most crazy about school but I was sure of one thing, and that was that no matter what I would tolerate high school for the only reason of going to college and being able to finally learn all about fashion and all those techniques that you need to succeed in the fashion business and not only that but to have that knowledge of the things that you like. I always thought all my life that I would be a designer, and only a designer. To be exact I wanted to be just like Carolina Herrera. God, I love her! Any way, once I started going to school it opened my eyes to a whole other world that I had just deleted from my mind. Fashion is not only about the clothe and you know what most people would imagine it to be, being in the fashion industry is so much more that people think it is. I can honestly say there is so many factors that you have to be able to understand to make it in the fashion world, not that I'v made it but from the research I've done and the work I've been able to do with styling, designing, advertising and working on runways I've learned its all a process of learning. To me it is very important to understand every aspect of fashion and what is all represents, how it all comes together in one. Not only because that is the way to make it fashion but because I learned that I love everything else, which means I love styling people, I love visual merchandising, I love the business part of it and that luxury you need to have, I love the sketching part and all the details in a mood board and all the process of getting a runway show together. It's all a great experience and it fills me so much. In this year that I've been in college I learned how much I love doing everything else so it would be impossible for me to only be a designer, I could never be just do one thing. This is why after graduating from my Fashion Design Bachelors I am planning to go to Europe and do my Masters Degree in Fashion Business. I hope to expand on my fashion knowledge as much as I can and what better place to do it that in Europe where all the most stylish fashion comes from. Learning is a never ending process and so I am beyond exited to continue this journey of loving fashion.

Week 1 EOC Great customer experience

I hadn't had Dominos since I was a kid, it had got beyond horrible. When in Mexico though, Dominos was great and the service was excellent. Previously living here in Las Vegas I had not been able to taste Dominos in the longest time since I had changed to Pizza Hut, anyway. I recently started eating Dominos again because my boyfriend only eats either Dominos or Metro Pizza, but I don't like Metro Pizza so I would always go for Dominos.

So, this is where one of my good experiences with dominos begins. After dating my boyfriend for 6 months we were not able to do anything for our month anniversary so since I know how much he likes Dominos I decided to send him a pizza and his favorite pasta to go along with it. I called Dominos that night and ordered a Medium chicken Alfredo pizza with his favorite pasta, heres the catch. I asked the girl who was taking my order if there was any way they could write a note for my boyfriend that said I love you or anything cute whatever it was, and she said yes. When my boyfriend received his order he was so happy and surprised because they had written over the pizza "I love you", with pepperoni slices, but not only that the quality of the food was very good and the service was excellent as well.  I was so happy that they had taken the time to make this pizza so special for him and with no extra charge. Trying it again I realized how good it was and how changed it was from years ago, they have so many good options to pick from and great deals all the time, prices are always good, and if they are late on any pizza deliveries they make sure you get a free pizza next time you order The pizza here is delicious and my mouth is watering just thinking about it. The toppings are always cooked just right, the crust is always nice and soft, and the pizza is never too oily (I hate really oily pizza). For those that are feeling adventurous, they also offer breadsticks, pasta, lasagna, chicken wings, whatever your heart desires. One of the reasons I like to order pizza from there is because every time I order pizza wether it be online or on phone call, everyone is always very polite, and even the delivery guy is always very nice and my food is always on time and hot, definitely something I cannot compare to other pizzeria's in town. I really appreciate good service and I stay loyal to good service because it is very hard to find now, specially with fast food. I definitely think Dominos is a great pizza place to purchase from and their customer service is great.
