Ben Nikpour - Week 4: Do Revenge

    Recently I watched the film Do Revenge on Netflix. The movie was released very recently on September 16th starring Camila Mendes and Maya Hawke. Other than Camila Mendes, the movie has a cast full of celebrities from many different popular shows and movies: Mendes from Riverdale, Maya Hawke from Stranger Things, Austin Abrams from Euphoria, Ava Capri from Love, Victor, Sophie Turner from Game of Thrones, Sarah Michelle Gellar from the live-action Scooby-Doo, Paris Berelc from a lot of old Disney shows I used to watch, Alisha Boe from 13 Reasons Why, Jonathan Daviss from Outer Banks, and so many other celebrities from hit films, too. The movie follows the story of two girls, Drea, played by Camila Mendes, and Eleanor, played by Maya Hawke, who are seeking revenge on people from their high school who mistreated them. I won’t spoil anything, but I will say that it includes a lot of twists and surprises.

    I was first introduced to the movie by a friend who recommended it. I didn’t really have any interest in watching it other than the fact that it included a lot of actors and actresses I liked. I ended up watching the two-hour movie and have mixed opinions on it. I found the movie to be quite stupid, for lack of better words. It was a typical Netflix production tailored to teenagers, which I honestly expected. While the plot was dumb, it was still interesting to watch, and I did enjoy the twists. I read a review online that mentioned how the movie was alright, but it was hard to build a connection to the characters, which I agree with. When watching a movie, I like to care about the characters I am watching, but in this film, I didn’t like them so much. Overall, I would not say that this is a must-watch movie, but if you have some free time and do not have anything else to watch, this movie is good enough. 

Have you watched Do Revenge yet, or would you watch it?

    I follow Maya Hawke on instagram, you know how it is, if you act on Stranger Things I follow you, Anyways, she has been posting and hyping up this movie for a very long time, and I have been very excited about it. I haven’t seen it yet because I’ve been so busy, but I will watch it soon. I hope I enjoy it a bit better than you did, but I know how Netflix movies are and they aren’t the best original content out there. Either way I’m going to watch it and I’ll let you know whether I like it or not.

Jack Yesner Week 10 - The Imposter Syndrome

Image
  The end of the first semester of senior year is quickly approaching. This semester has been the root cause of my stress for the past few months, and I am glad it is nearly over. I tell myself that next semester will be less stressful because college applications are complete and schoolwork will be more relaxed, and I hope I am buying into it. But in reality, I know that I have told myself the future won’t be strenuous multiple times, and I end up regretting my past reassurances.  Throughout my life, I have strived for perfection. I could never start an assignment without a clear plan of what the finished product will look like, I had to rehearse anything spoken, and I never settled for less than 100% effort. But as I am approaching my final semester of school, I am starting to recognize that this is abnormal behavior.  I unfortunately believe that I have developed some form of the Imposter Syndrome. The Imposter Syndrome, which is also known as perceived fraudulence, occurs whe

Rosalie Weiss- Week 1- “The Hermit Crab” by Mary Oliver

Image
The Hermit Crab is a poem by Mary Oliver in which she reflects on an encounter she had with a hermit crab and the observations she made while watching it find a new home.  I believe that the ocean, which Oliver describes as always “shouting and hissing toward the future,” every wave “leaving the shore littered” with “ornaments of death,” is a symbol for time. (lines 19-25) The hermit crab fights against the ocean by making a home out of the old shells it had discarded. This “rebellion” is also a way of fighting against time, “connecting everything, the past to the future.” (lines 29-33) I interpret this part of the poem to be a metaphor for remembering and learning from our past, as by holding on to our memories, we are effectively rebelling against time and its efforts to wash the past away.   In the first stanza of poem, Oliver writes, “Once I looked inside the darkness of a shell folded like a pastry and there was a fancy face.” (lines 1-4) Upon reading this, I thought, “what a fun

Leah Nagle - Week 4 - College is Stressing Me Out

Image
I feel like the second we started this school year, everyone (including myself) started freaking out about college. It’s funny to me that everyone talks about how stressful junior year is and how senior year is super chill, because that has definitely not been my experience. For me, in junior year, college was only a distant thought and my workload was manageable, but now, in senior year, I am so incredibly stressed with school, the SAT, and college applications.  Although I know that I am up to date with my college application work, it always feels like I’m behind because I’ll hear from a friend that they’re ahead of me. It makes me so stressed and I hate it, so I try to not compare myself to others, but it’s hard, ya know? There really is so much that goes into college applications that I didn’t even realize until now and that stresses me out.  On top of the actual work that has to be done in order to apply to college, another thing that’s stressful about the process is deciding whic
