Liam Meldung - Week 7 - Friends

            Tricked ya! You thought it was going to be about the show. Not exactly.

            What is a friend? I believe this is a question that is left to our own interpretations. I’ve had my fair share of friends, and not all of those I’ve continued to be friends with. I have found that the definition of a friend for me is that they are loyal, honest, kind, fun, funny, sometimes weird, and overall someone who is there for you even when you don’t want them to be.

            Just to give a few examples, and shout out a few people that have really impacted me so far this year. Adi has helped me a lot. She has helped me with homework, but what I find most important is that she helps me feel less stressed about school and everything going on in my life. A more specific example is when we’re in Spanish, Adi is my comedic relief. We sit next to each other and make jokes and talk constantly, obviously not Señora's favorite thing, but it helps me a lot when I’m in a bad mood, or when I’m feeling overwhelmed. Ben Heller is always there even if I don’t want him to be. I remember when my grandfather died, in freshman year. I came to school the day we found out, and I was almost in tears. Ben noticed, asked me what’s wrong, and went and brought water for me. I know I make fun of him and all that, but he really is one of my closest friends and he never lets me down. Next is Jessica. I am one of those people to always worry about school and never let myself let loose, have fun, and Jessica helps me do that. When we hang out I’m never bored, and I’m definitely never thinking about what work I have to do. Jessica and I can literally be sitting in her car and doing nothing, and we’re still laughing. My last example is Hannah. When she first came back to the school I was not expecting us to be friends, I didn’t even expect to talk to her at all, but somehow we did, and I’m really glad. She has become one of my closest friends, and like all the others she has helped me with so much. When I was on my teen tour this summer, I was not having the best time, and she was always there for me, even when she was on her own teen tour. I would call, she would answer. We all need people like these in our lives, and I know for sure we will be friends for life. Of course I want to give a shoutout to all the others, but I have limited words and they all know how much they mean to me as well. 

            Any friends you’d like to give a shout out to?

Dina Bengelsdorf Week 10 - Things I Love to Do

Image
Things I Love to Do For my last blog (potentially), I thought it would be best to discuss things that make me the happiest. I feel that I have definitely talked about these subjects in one way or another because they are so important to me, but here I want to dedicate a post just to them. During school it is very hard to keep up with your physical and mental wellbeing, and therefore, doing things that keep us grounded are beyond helpful when things can become overwhelming. I have been working to stay active my entire life. I love riding my bike, going to the gym, and taking walks on or by the beach. Staying active is staying healthy and affects my everyday performance.  I feel that every exercise I do is a way for me to release my stress. Every bike ride is a way to absorb nature. Every walk on the beach is a way to clear my mind and to take a deep breath. Doing these things after school or on the weekends has proven to help me in my academic life. I come to school feeling refreshe...

Adi Chaham week 10: Naps

Image
       I dislike naps. I find that most people enjoy taking naps but there are very few that don’t, and I am one of those people.  I can’t explain it, but naps just ruin my entire day and I find sleeping at night to be much more beneficial than falling asleep after school.  Let me try to explain using the most simple scenario. You just had a long day at school so you come home. Instead of doing your homework or doing whatever you usually do after school, you fall asleep. An hour to two passes and it's now 6pm. Now, this is the part that bothers me the most. Maybe it just happens to me but you wake up all confused as to what time it is and bam, the rest of your day gets messed up. Then, I don’t have the energy to do my homework but I'm not tired enough to go to sleep.  That’s it! That’s the beauty of naps that I dislike. It's not much yet it's so much. However, as much as I dislike them, I could argue for the other side. I understand th...

Ben Nikpour- Week 2: The Infamous Common App Essay

Image
     The common app essay is stressful, to say the least. This 650-word essay has a huge impact on our college admissions; an excellent essay can be the one thing that gets you into your dream school, while a bad essay will do the opposite. Knowing this, I spent a lot of time strategically preparing and thinking about what I was going to write about. I started planning out my essay towards the end of last school year and already had a solid start on it before the summer. At first, I had no clue what I was going to write. I had no idea where to start, and I felt that I had nothing interesting to talk about. I constantly freaked out at my parents, saying I couldn’t think of anything, and I wasn’t going to get into a school.           After calming down, I started by listing every major event or aspect of my life. Still, nothing stood out to me as a great topic, so I continued to write more things down and write notes on each topic. This allowed...
