Joey Siemens- Week 2; The Importance of a Quarterback

      Football has never been the main sport I play, but I still enjoy the game. The fresh-cut grass and thrill of the game always got my attention. Despite Donna Klein having a flag football team, the game is pretty much the same to tackle. Yes tackle is more intense, but no one can rule out the fact that flag football is also intense.

     I play the position of the quarterback, and the quarterback is the leader of the offense. Much pressure is put on the quarterback, and I must perform to almost perfection to win games. In Flag Football you generally only have one blocker to save some time before the rusher is about to pull the quarterback's flag. This means I only have a couple of seconds before I need to throw the ball to one of my receivers. I need to scan the field in almost no time and pick the right receiver who is the most open. If a mistake is made, the defense can take advantage of that and intercept the ball which puts them on offense and increases their odds of winning. The quarterback position is one of the most important positions on the team. When a mistake is made and my emotions get the best of me then other teammates will reflect on my actions and won't be optimistic. The quarterback needs to memorize the plays to the extent of knowing where every position player is going on that play. I need to study and be prepared for anything the defense throws at me.

     The quarterback is a tough position to play, and I am excited to take on that role and do the best I can do. Do you agree that the Quarterback is a tough position to play, or do you disagree?

Anna Shimonovitc: Week 9 - Northern Attitude by Noah Kahan (with Hozier)

Image
    I haven't actually listened to a lot of Noah Kahan songs, but I have listened to a lot of Hozier songs. I want to specifically discuss Hozier's new song, Northern Attitude, in heavy detail. It's not actually Hozier's song, but he is featured in it. It's a song by Noah Kahan, who you might know from his recently popular song, Stick Season. I don't know what other songs he sings, but oh my god. This new song. It's so amazing and if anyone argues with me they're wrong. The reason I'm even listening to it is because the Andrew Hozier-Byrne sings in it. And when I say listening I mean that I am in a perpetual state of listening to this song, always playing, even if it's just stuck in my head on a loop. The song is just such a good vibe. Like I have no other way to describe it because I'm not going to spend my time actually interpreting the lyrics as if I have nothing else to do besides wonder what some dudes were thinking when they were writi...

Josh Matheson - Week 9; First AP Lang Essay

Image
Last week, we had our first in class timed essay and let's just say it did not go according to plan.  Going into the first essay, I was focused on completing the essay within the 40 minutes and have a great thesis, that can be backed up with enough evidence.  The essay was both a success and a fail, as I finished in time which was one of my concerns, but I did not get specific enough and tie enough evidence back to my thesis.  I realized that even though I had the evidence the most important thing to explain is why the speaker uses that choice.  This generally is what destroyed me because I had the evidence, but did not get specific enough and just left everything vague.  Fortunately,  I am confident that next time will be better,  since this is my first AP essay and the best way to improve is through practice and experiences.  On this essay, I received a 2.5, which is not too good of a score, but at least I will have the revision in order to fix ...

Mia Garaz, Week 9, Nothing To Watch!

Image
With the various amounts of streaming services, such as YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Max, and more, you would think the possibilities of films to watch are endless! However, lately, this has not been the case. I find myself scrolling for hours, and still, nothing catches my eye. Possibly, this is due to the algorithm. It may not be calculating as well as it should. Though, I don’t feel this is the case. I think there is a major lack of TV series and movies to view across all platforms. Even when they do come out with new releases, they tend to lack substance or an interesting plot. What I have noticed a lot is that the creators and directors are trying to create “relatable” content. Still, it just ends up being cringey (and in my opinion, overly politically correct). With such curated/censored content it destroys the reality and relatability that they were trying to achieve. The sadness of it all is, unfortunately, that it is extremely difficult for a “classic” to be made in this day and ag...
