Thoughts On Coronacation by Hannah Ramos

-
So, I'm sure everyone is as sick as I am of hearing the same updates on the corona virus over and over again. Because of this, my original plan for this blog post was to share some news that wasnt about corona, however, after spending a decent amount of time digging for something other than corona updates, I found absolutely nothing. It's crazy to think that the world has completely shut down and starting revolving around surviving this virus. If your house is anything like mine during this time, the news is playing in your living room 24/7. So rather than retelling what you already know about the virus, I thought I would give some personal opinions and experiences.
First off, I'm bored. But I'm not bored because I don't have anything do to, I'm bored because the things that I have to do are boring. For example, school work takes up about my entire morning, so it's not like I'm doing nothing all morning. But atleast when we went to school, I got to see my friends, and do different things everyday in class, and even get up and walk around throughout the day. Now, I'm sitting at the table, by myself, and staring at my computer screen for a couple hours. Then for the second half of my day, I have tons of online dance classes to take. And it's not that I don't like dance, but it's way more boring when I have to spend hours alone in a room, and don't get to see any of the friends that I used to see every single day. 
Second, I have a feeling that this won't be ending any time soon. As we keep hearing updates about how to prevent yourself from getting the corona virus, and how to continue your current lifestyle while staying at home, you don't hear as many medical updates and advancements as we should be. As we still have pretty far to go before a stable cure is found and distributed, I personally believe that we won't be going back to school for the rest of the year. It's definitely going to be a weird experience to be isolated in the same house for months to come, but I hope you all enjoyed my take on the worlds biggest current event topic.

    Yeah I really don't think we're going back for the rest of the year either, and like you said, I do miss actually being in school. At first it was nice but we're all just sitting at home stationary for hours. At least you have to walk a bit to get to your next class in school.

    I hate being isolated like this, but I do think we'll be out for the rest of the year. :(

    I definitely miss my friends but not having school is nice (unpopular opinion I know) but being quarantined at home and not being able to go ANYWHERE is starting to get old fast.

    I'm also worried that we could be out the rest of the year, but I am hoping we can get in, even for a week so that we have some closure. It is hard to be separated from your daily people!

    I miss my friends so much. I never thought I would say I miss school, but I do. I have never watched so much Netflix.

Ancient Greek Heroes VS. Modern Day Heroes

-
Image
Heroes in Greek/Anglo-Saxon (I am grouping the types of historical literature we have read) writing are very obvious and much of ancient Greek literature involves a central hero or a supernatural story. In modern day English, however, the plots are less often mythical and more realistic. Since each person has a different definition for heroism, modern day heroism literature can be more varied. Ancient Greek writing is very often far-fetched, however. There are many similarities and differences between the two types of writing, but first I will run through the most significant differences. In Greek mythology, heroes were often religious figures, like demigods, while modern day writing focuses more on ordinary people. This could be because authors nowadays want the readers to be able to relate with the heroes in their stories. Greek writing had heroes that had the power to protect or destroy the people depending on prevailing circumstances. In contrast, modern day heroes are acknowledg...

My Brother by Elizabeth Hailey DeGasperis

          When I contemplate what is most important in my life, my mind is drawn to my 21-year-old brother, Tom. There are not enough words in the English language I could use to describe what he means to me. I cannot imagine the past fifteen years of my life without him. Allow me to start from the beginning.           Even when I was an infant, he never failed to take me out of my crib, strap me in my high chair, and cook scrambled eggs for us (at the tender age of six). He did this so my mother could catch up on sleep in the mornings and take care of me however he could. I only wish I could return the favour in some way. Though we have always been tight, we used to fight frequently as all siblings do. As immature children, we viewed every ordeal as monumental. The apocalypse would occur if either of us decided to give the other access to the TV remote or the pogo sticks for five minutes. However, we would always make-up in the end and...

Not Fate, Just a Coincidence - Sila Paniker

The idea of fate confuses me. I don't really understand how something will happen no matter what you do. It just seems very unlikely. I think we're constantly making choices that lead to occurrences. We make so many decisions a day that it seems impossible that fate can find a way around it all.  Awhile ago, I saw something called the Butterfly Effect, which doesn't exactly relate to fate but it makes sense to me. The idea is that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado on the other side of the world. Essentially, small changes can have large impacts. In my head, this connects with the thousands of tiny decisions we subconsciously make each day. There are people I've met or things that have happened and it feels like it was meant to be but they're just a bunch of coincidences that had the ability to change everything. Thinking about it, there are reasons that can explain everything. For example, I met one of my closest friends a few years ago a...
