What are you reading? Watching? Listening to?

I am not reading anything as of now. Just news articles and regular articles. I watched the tiger king series and I was very intrigued by how interesting it actually was. I watched love is blind and wasn’t a huge fan as the bachelor was better. I also watched blown away which was a glass art competition show. I have been listening to everything from uzi to da baby. A lot of rap and chill rap. Tootsie slide is good but it’s overhyped. 


Name one thing you make sure to do that makes you happy, hopeful, more relaxed. 

Honestly for me it is getting a good night’s sleep. Although my sleep schedule is different from the school year, sleeping helps. It resets the day, takes away any annoyances from the news, and makes you feel all rested the following day. It’s quiet, peaceful, and long. The most I’ve slept this break was around 12 hours, and the latest I’ve gone to bed has only been around 4am. I know people who’ve pulled all nighters to binge, facetime, and do whatever that is so important in the middle of the night. 


Name something you noticed that you might not have noticed if we weren’t in a crisis?

I would say I’ve definitely noticed the effects of what I have been eating. I eat healthy, but I don’t always think about how it contributes to my body really. Protein has been giving me noticeable energy lately, and caffeine made me stay up really late. I’m starting to attribute different nutritious components to my health.

Pop Your Bubble The attached photo was taken in Paris, but this situation occurs all across the world. It is of a homeless man sitting helplessly on a staircase, being ignored by affluent individuals. The individuals are walking as to not crease their shoes. Their Neiman-Marcus coat collars are popped up to prevent them from becoming slightly chilly. One individual is making a call. However, what do they all have in common? They are blind to seeing the struggling man. They are not empathizing, interacting, or understanding the struggler because they are stuck in their own materialistic bubbles. Many of us can relate to subconsciously ignoring struggling people because we are floating in our own bubble ourselves. From observing this image, I myself relate to being in a bubble. By knowing that, I am able to briefly pop it, and am able to view Coates’s work with a more honest and empathetic lens. Material things keep us from empathizing with those who struggle because they disco

Health. America “values” health. With her organic produce aisles to healthy chain restaurants, America values health! Well, sarcasm aside, that is completely not true. America claims to value health, but in fact it is advertising unhealthy food to younger children. Former First Lady Michelle Obama created her “ Let’s Move ” campaign which outlined “a wide range of initiatives to “attempt” to end childhood obesity within a generation.” We can see that America is “attempting” to create a healthy lifestyle for children. However, that isn’t the case.  NBC researchers reported “ obesity is worsening in American kids. ” And the cause; “society that continues to push junk food despite the overwhelming evidence about its dangers.” Advertisements that children view daily and hourly display attractiveness attached to junk food. A child’s favorite star eating at McDonald’s, a fun little bird stuck to sugar laced cereal, and tv families drinking Coca-Cola. Kids can view more than 800 jun

How are you feeling about the role of sports in our lives these days? No sports have really changed my life. I’ve always been an avid march madness fan, so for that to be canceled was hard. The whole NBA horse contest is an awful idea, and while I didn’t watch it, the replays were meh. The NFL draft went on virtually, and Goodell was still booed. The memes that followed with Lambs and the Chargers were pretty good. Missing opening day was sad, and It’ll be worse if they decide to have fanless sports events for the future season. Players need fans, and as long as the virus is stopped people should be allowed to watch sports immediately in person.  How has your relationship with celebrities changed? Not much. Everybody’s giving them a lot of hate because it’s easy for them to stay home in their hundred million dollar mansions, and they’re advocating for us too as well. I don’t think it matters how big their houses are because they still cannot hangout with friends. Celebrities
