Rylan Frydman - Week 6 : Basketball SZN

 Rylan Frydman - Week Six : Basketball SZN


    As of tonight, Basketball season is officially on its way. The first game is between the Los Angelus Lakers and the former NBA champions, the Denver Nuggets. It has been a long awaited time since last tipoff, when the Miami Heat lost to the Nuggets on June 12. There have been many new trades and exciting new players to look forward to watching this year.

    Some of the most notable trades this year have been Damian Lillard, Chris Paul, and Bradley Beal. Lillard was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks after spending his whole career in Portland. The Miami Heat were runner ups to acquiring him, specifically after Lillard requested to be traded to Miami. However, after many discussions, he was traded to Milwaukee where he looks to win his first championship with former MVP, Giannis Antehekumpo.  Speaking of championships, Chris Paul was traded to the Golden state Warriors to team up with Stephen Curry and Klay Thomson. At the age of 38, Chris Paul, also knows as CP3, looks to win his first championship. As well as Damian Lillard, Bradley Beal was also a top candidate to be traded to the Miami Heat, but yet again, he was traded to the Phenix Suns, playing with KD and Devin Booker. Each of these players look to make a huge impact on their team and hopefully create a legacy there. 

    Talking about legacies and impacts, they’re many talented prodigies coming into the NBA this year. Starting with the number one pick, Victor Wembanyama, as well as Chet Holmgren and Scoot Henderson. All of these players are entering the league with outstanding talent, however one player stands out specially, Victor Wembanyama. Both metaphorically and literally, Victor stands in at 7 Foot 4 inches. He was selected by the San Antonio Spurs and has been talked about as the most-hyped prospect since Lebron James. Chet Holmgren is also a freak of an athlete being 7 foot 1. He was selected by the Oklahoma Thunder last year but was injured before the season started, therefor becoming a rookie this year.

The NBA is looking to be a very exciting year, with much to look forward to. It will be interesting to see how the rookies will fit in with their NBA debut and how far they will take their team. It will also be exciting to see the new star players fit in with their new team. Who do you think will win the championship this year? Will Victor Wembanyama live up to the hype he has gotten?

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...
