New Semester

     With winter in full blast right now, I think its a good time to reflect over what has happened since August. The fall semester is now officially over. I had a lot of ups and downs over this semester, but I've learned some important things about myself over the past six months. One of those things is that I am not stressed very easily. I feel like people really boost up high school and make it sound more intimidating than it actually is. Another thing I've learned is that sleep is really helpful. I have been going to bed earlier and noticing significant improvements in my works habits. Finally, I have learned that procrastinating is incredibly bad. This is all valuable information I have learned about myself.
     I hope to use all this information in order to help me be a better student in this semester. One of my new goals is to not procrastinate as much. I seen that this helps the quality of the work I make (as stated above). I another goal I have is to balance my extracurricular activities well. This past semester, I didn't have any extracurricular activities, but this semester, I have baseball and robotics to balance. Lastly, I would like to have more free time. I can achieve that by using my free study more wisely and through other methods. If I can achieve these goals, I think I can have a much better time this semester

    One of my biggest problems is excessively procrastinating my work and stress isn't a big problem for me, but it does happen to me at times. Good luck on improving for the last half of freshman year!

Are you distracted by technology?

     To answer this plainly, No, I am not distracted to technology. I honestly work better on a computer or iPad than on paper. I find it easier and more efficient to work with others using technology. Technology allows us to be miles apart and be working on the same virtual piece of paper. This can be seen as a huge benefit to collaboration and cooperation. I would even say that technology allows me to stay more focused on what I am working on. I am able to listen to helpful music and look up helpful tips while getting the work done in a timely manner, albeit it does have its drawbacks.      I think that technological distraction results from irresponsibility. I believe the term technology is too broad for this prompt. I believe that the entirety of technology can't be distracting, but I do believe in certain situations it can be distracting. For example, while trying to do homework, some people might feel the need to check their phone every ten seconds because they just posted s

Research Update

     Between our Social Studies and English classes, I have been working on a joint research paper. The topic I chose was Karl Marx relationship with Russian communism. I have found this topic to be very interesting thus far. I think a lot of people get confused about what communism actually is. Communism is a socioeconomic system that is supposed to benefit the proletariat or working class people. This system seems good in theory, but it has its problems. It all starts off with the criticism of Capitalism, the current dominant economic system. They say that the Bourgeois, middle class, are only making the proletariat suffer through the economic system through taking advantage of them.       Communism really boils down to one key economic prospect: the abolition of private property. The communist argument goes that since the Bourgeois own the means of producing goods, The Bourgeois can and are taking advantage of the proletariat. Through this process, the proletariat are becoming more

Final Fantasy XV: A Beautiful Piece of Art

     Over Christmas break, I played many video games. One video game in particular struck me in a new way. This game was Final Fantasy XV . Final Fantasy XV  take place in the fantasy world of Eos, which is split between two countries, Niflheim and Lucis. The game follows Noctis, the prince of Lucis, and his friends as they go on a journey to reclaim their homeland. This has been one of the best games I have played ever. The story is great and it develops the characters really well. Not only that, there is so much to do in Eos. It ranges from have lunch at a cafe to fighting off daemons at night. The game is incredibly diverse and there is so much for the player to do.      One of the things that make this game especially great is its character development. Noctis, the main character, is only in his twenties. The game shows this very clearly as Noctis doesn't have the best judgement in the world. In fact, no character in this game is portrayed to be completely perfect. These flaws
