Elai Avidor - Week Six; Girl Dinner

    For those of you who don’t know, I have two older sisters who live in Miami. They both go to the University of Miami and share an apartment together. I am very close with my sisters and love to go down to Miami to visit them whenever I can. However, that usually means going with the rest of my family, but tonight will be different. I am driving down to Miami alone to have dinner with them. I have driven down alone to see them before, but today, I am doing it on a school night and very spontaneously. I am very excited because they are cooking for me and making me hamburgers (which I specifically requested). Luckily, they both paid attention to my mom and, as a result, are very good cooks. Besides getting a delicious meal, I love how close they live to me and how easy it is to see them.

    Many siblings attend college in faraway states and rarely see their families. As a very family-oriented person, I couldn’t imagine such a situation. My family is a very important part of my life, and I love spending time with them. Being able to see my older sisters so often is a privilege I deeply cherish. I look forward to seeing them whenever the chance comes up, and I love our conversations and bond. However, I find it funny that I didn’t always have this relationship with them.

    When we were little kids, we constantly fought and didn’t get along. My little, naive self never thought I would have such a strong bond with my sisters. Of course, with time, I have grown to love and appreciate them just as much as I love and appreciate my parents. We are a very close family, and I am so grateful to have all of them.

    Do you want to leave Florida for college? Are you close with your family or siblings? Do you want to be closer or have a stronger bond?

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...
