     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 .

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.

Last year I decided to transfer to Pope John for a year to see if I liked it. Ever since kindergarten, I went to Sparta so it was a big change for me. I transferred to PJ during the second marketing period of last year. Mostly because I wanted to go into school and try something new. I liked Pope but it just wasn't for me. I went because I thought it would help me with lacrosse but it didn't. It was kinda a waste of my time because the coaches didn't really care, but now I can't wait for this upcoming season to play for Coach Brennan. The one thing that I did like about Pope John was a uniform. I liked that I could just get up every day and have my outfit all read. I didn't like how small it was so small. Everyone was super nice but I just felt like I didn't fit in and I missed my friends. Now I am back at Sparta and I am very excited for this year and for the next 3 years as being a Spartan.
