Rylan Frydman - Week One: Finally, Fantasy Football!

    Rylan Frydman - Week One: Finally, Fantasy Football!

     As football approaches, hundreds of thousands of fans begin to set into gear. Excitement arises as the days come closer and closer until the first kickoff begins. And as many football fans may know, when football arrives, so does fantasy football. For those who don't know, fantasy football is an app which allows users to serve as owners of selected professional football players. Each participant takes turns in a draft, selecting any NFL player at choice, until they have created their team. You watch as the players you picked pass, catch, run, and score touchdowns, all adding points to your team. Matched with someone else in your league, whoever has more points by the end of the week, wins. Me and my friends have just finished our draft. Some may think it is a small part of our lives, a little game to add some more excitement to the games, well they can guess again. Fantasy football will be mine and many others' entire personality for the next 5 months and 6 days. I have been researching and studying for the past month on who I think will be the best and worst to pick for my team. Me and my friends bet money and the winner of the league will win it all. We have just finished picking our players, and I can guarantee that this is my year to win it all. Fantasy football brings friends and fans together, as well as destroys many, many friendships along the way. However, at the end of the day, it is something that many can love, bond, and share together. Finally, fantasy football is back! Who's ready to begin devoting the next couple months to fantasy football?

    Thank you for educating me a little more about fantasy football, and I hope this blog doesn't age poorly.

    I liked your blog post because after years of just hearing about it, I am now finally participating in a league of my own. Admittedly, I don't have the first idea about fantasy or even regular football. When I was drafting, I just picked the guy that the app wanted me to. Even so, I find myself excited for the season to begin. So to answer your question, I am very ready to devote myself to Fantasy for the coming months.

    First of all, my team is much better. Secondly, after playing fantasy football for 4 years now I can say my fantasy team affects my mood much more than anything else in my life and is the thing I put the most work into during the summer and the season.

    I used to LOVE fantasy football and, even more, fantasy baseball! I just don't have the time or energy to do that in-depth study of all the players so I can break it down. I used to win the league, though!

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...
