Nina's Six Songs of September

Image
     Music is something that is essential to me. It plays an immense part in my daily activities. In fact, I have organized playlists for different emotions and occasions!     This month, six songs have been stuck in my head, I've been addicted to, or have come up on my playlist often.  1. Dry Flower by  優里 (Yuuri)                                                                                                         The first song is Dry Flower . It is written and released by 優里 (Yuuri) in October of 2020. It's your typical breakup song where you're trying to move on, thinking about how the other person is doing and how much lighter your...

Review on Different Types of Potatoe Sides/Dishes by Sarah Weisbeck

🥔 Potatoes are a fan-favorite food for many, and so I've decided to make my own personal review of the different types of potatoes. These are biased opinions because they come solely from me or a trusted source, but each one I review will get a summary and a rating from 1-10; 1 being the worst and 10 being the best.  1. French Fries This is an easy start, french fries are amazing. French-fried potatoes, or simply fries are allumette-cut deep-fried potatoes, originating from either Belgium or France, they are prepared by cutting the potato into even strips, then drying and frying it, usually in a deep fryer (Wikipedia). There are so many different types: standard cut, curly, crinkle cut, shoestring, chili cheese, potato wedges, steak, waffle, sweet potato, cheese, smiley, garlic, Belgian, and so many more. In my opinion, you can never go wrong with fries. They're the perfect side dish and the perfect snack. On top of all that they're officially ranked the world's most f...

Changes Around Me and How I Feel About Them- Gabe Jarvis

Image
       These past few months have had a lot of change in them. From going back to school, the summer fading away and much more. (Keep in mind that I wrote this a week ago, so some of the things I talk about in present tense are in the past.)     1.)  The first thing which I currently feel has made the most important changes in my life is going back to school, full time. To be honest, coming back the first week wasn't as bad as I made it out to be to my mom. It was nice to be in an environment that I hadn't taken part in in a while. However, as we near a month of being in school, I don't think I can say the same anymore. The work is starting to flow in and this can be a little hard, but I think I just have to get used to it again. This is definitely going to be hard considering we haven't even had a real week of school yet. Of course everyone loves less school time, myself included, but I know that this is only going to hurt the students....

My Summer Events once COVID restrictions lifted (SEPTEMBER) by Molly McQueeney

                                                                                      Summer 2021 This summer was a little bit more uneventful then I thought it would be. Coming out of a COVID filled year and with restrictions coming up that I would be able to do more. In the beginning of the summer my mom had to get a toe surgery and had to be in a boot for a while. All the beach trips, parties, and long days of walking had to be put on pause. Most of my summer was spent sitting in my room, going in the backyard or walking around my streets. On some weekends me and my close family friends would get together and hang at one of our houses. We would play pool, eat pizza, watch movies and sing (all theater and band kids). These "parti...

Reese Smith - September Blog Gymnastics Life

                                    Gymnastics Life By: Reese Smith  Hi! My name is Reese Smith and I'm been a competitive gymnast for almost 9 years now. Gymnastics has been my life for a very long time. I'm a part of the USAG gymnastics level which is known as Artistic Gymnastics. Gymnastics has really shaped me into who I am by being a multi-tasker, independent, and positive-minded. I love gymnastics so much because if the school wasn't the best that day I just go there and let loose to do the sport I love. More about the sport there are levels 1-10. And I just did level 8 this past year and I'm working to get to level 9 for this competition season. My favorite event is uneven bars even though my best is the balance beam. Even though it is a demanding sport and demanding hours every week I could never see myself doing another sport that demanding because I can't picture mysel...

How my Fantasy Football Teams are doing - Owen Carey

Image
Fantasy Football, my teams       Its week 2 in the NFL, I'm 1-1 in two of my leagues and 0-2 in one of the leagues I'm in. A lot of my players haven't been living up to the expectations I hoped for. One of the teams I have Saquon Barkley, coming off of his injury he hasn't been playing as good as he did the years before. He has only gotten me single digit points which with a top 5 pick isn't doing great. While other players have been doing very good for me, such as my quarterbacks in two of my leagues who have been super good for me and getting a lot of points. Just like a lot of my wide receivers have been playing very good and also keep getting me a lot of points.      Other teams in my league have been doing a lot better with some of those teams are averaging 110+ points and are 2-0. Some games I haven't even gotten over 100 points some games. With the other teams running backs sometimes getting more than 30 points which, is what I hoped my players ...

A Dream SMP Cosplay - Chloe Brawer

You've probably heard of the Dream SMP. And if you haven't, well, let me give you the long story short. The Dream SMP (or DSMP for short) is a Minecraft roleplay series with fans all over the world tuning into the content creators' livestreams on Twitch. Using their own imaginations and Minecraft's resources, members have built and destroyed countries, held elections and banquets, fought wars, and developed amazing character / story arcs. Contrary to popular opinion, YouTuber Dream actually didn't name the roleplay. The name comes from fellow YouTuber and Twitch streamer TommyInnit's video titled "Tommy's First Dream SMP Stream EVER." SMP is short for Survival Multiplayer--a type of Minecraft world. Tommy used Dream's name to gather more views, as Dream is extremely well-known within the Minecraft YouTuber community. When fans talk about this specific roleplay, they use "c!" when referring to the character and "cc!" when dis...
