Josh Matheson - Week 6; Can the Canes Run It Back?

Miami embraced college basketball's changes, and it put them in Final Four - SBNation.com

It is almost one of my favorite times of the year, college basketball season.  I can not wait to cheer on my Miami Hurricanes as they are coming off an historic season.  Unfortunately the canes did not bring home the trophy, but managed to prove every one wrong and reach the final four for the first time in program history.  Surprisingly they were not the only team out of South Florida to reach the final four, as the FAU owls shocked the whole world in their miraculous tournament run.  As for the Hurricanes, and the upcoming season, the future is still bright.  Although the canes suffered the loss of star point guard Isaiah Wong and starting forward Jordan Miller, they are still absolutely loaded with talent and potential.  The canes are led by Coach Jim Laranaga and star players Nijel Pack and Norchad Omier.  The rest of the roster is just about the same as last year, which means if the Canes can fill the large shoes of Isaiah Wong and Jordan Miller then the future should be bright.  The first step the canes took in order to fill those shoes, is the acquiring of Florida State transfer Mathew Cleveland, who will fill in the shoes of Jordan Miller.  Overall, this season should be exciting to watch, and I can not wait for the feeling of the Miami Hurricanes winning the national championship.  On the other side, the Hurricanes have never been great recruiters, but due to recent success, the top high school prospects have finally taken notice.  So far this year the Canes have received 3 commitments 2 highly ranked 4 star recruits and one 5 star recruit named Jalil Bethea, who is the highest ranked player to ever commit to the University of Miami for basketball.  The future of the canes is looking brighter than ever and I can not wait to see what the canes have to offer.

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...
