Mia Garaz, Week 3, Party Hardy

     What better way to have a good time, see all your friends, listen to your favorite music, and have the most fun of your life than to go to or throw a party? I absolutely love parties! I am a very social person and going out is one of my favorite things to do. Not just the actual get-together itself, but the preparation and excitement for it is what I look forward to. Doing hair, makeup, finding the perfect outfit; it all prefaces the night to come! Plus, I have a lot of different friend groups so the opportunity to see them all at once is perfect for me. Not to mention themes make the event ten times more amusing. The best of all is Halloween costume parties, that's where people really get creative.

     However, not everyone likes parties. Some are more inclined to stay home with a friend or two, or maybe chill in bed by themselves. I myself am like this half the time, depending on my mood. I honestly don’t understand the people who are always up to be around others or people who constantly spend time alone. I feel like I am definitely more extroverted, but I still need time at home or to myself to recharge. Do you like it better to be with a big group of people, meet others, and try new things, or to be by yourself/with a small group of people, ones you are closest with, and keep to the things you know? Maybe you are a mix like me!  Also, why are those preferences, and do you think they'll change?

    I honestly completely agree with you about getting ready for a party. Maybe it is because I'm more introverted, but I am way more excited about picking an outfit than trying to start a conversation with someone I kind of know and pretending I like the music playing. Though when it comes to a group of my close friends, I get to enjoy all the good and avoid all the bad.

    Honestly, I feel like it depends on the day. Some days I am in a good mood and feel like going out while other days I would rather just lay down and give myself a day or two to recoup and feel more like myself. Lately, I do not have to much time to go out, meet new people, and have fun as I am trying to stay as productive as I can. However, I think it is important to try to find balance and have fun.

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...
