                                                               By: Robby Cerra
     Since every citizen in almost every country has the entire day to themselves, here are some top things to do during the quarantine.

1. Working out: This has been a top choice for many people to spend their time, at least on TikTok. Although some people don't have weights/gyms to work out with, this shouldn't stop anyone from still getting in their exercise. First off, running is the number one alternative instead of hitting the gym, it involves cardio, and you are practicing social distancing as well, as long as your not running with a partner. Secondly, there are some bodyweight exercises that can also keep you in pretty decent shape. These are military pushups, diamond pushups, squats, one-legged squats, and the occasional ab workouts like crunches and leg raise. Additionally, we are guaranteed at least another 21 days in quarantine, and it takes 21 days to create a habit. So, hopefully, this suggested workout habit can carry into summer and further.

(P.S. hopefully summer isn't completely canceled, so you can show off the SICK summer bod thanks to this workout habit I just instilled into you.)

2. Learn some party tricks: I don't know about you but, every once and a while I like showing off my new tricks to family and friends. This could be anywhere from a card trick, from a walking handstand. So, just go on youtube search up literally anything you want to learn, it's not like you have anything better to do. Also, for my new skill, (I guess we're calling it that) my brother is teaching me how to grapple properly, so that means I'm getting choked out like every day now. Although, it is still fun and I'm learning different types of guards when being attacked or wrestled. (yay fun)

3. I saved the best for last so, getting some clout on TikTok: I know what your thinking, yes, it does sound like a reach, but imagine if you're coming back from corona break with a million followers on TikTok. In addition to that, the app thrives on different entertainers competing to be the best/funniest, so it wouldn't hurt to add a little bit more production into the action. I posted a TikTok around 2 weeks ago and it got 3000 views, if anyone can beat me, you get nothing except for bragging rights for being famous. Good luck and have fun!!

Ancient Greek Heroes VS. Modern Day Heroes

-

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...
