Schedule During Quarantine? May Blog 2020- Brianna Burns

-
So days are looking a little different then the used to. Most days we can wake up at whatever time we want, don't need to worry about waking up at 6 am, have the day pretty much to ourselves without our friends or outside activities. but I find having a little structure, or schedule in our life can help us out a bit. I'm pretty go with the flow but I like to have my weekdays planned and have a routine of some kind. I think that it keeps me in check, allows for me to get things done, and leave time for me to do my own things. Her are some tips I like to do to stay in order and to well manage your days at home.

1. Make a to do list or plan out your day.
Set a time for yourself to sit down and make a list of the things you need to get done. I like to this the night before and write down assignments I know I need to complete. You can even do this in the morning when teachers start spamming you with emails at 8 am. I know the feeling.

2. Sit, and get it done
I find that if I just sit for 2-3 hours straight and get all my work done in one hit, it's far better for me. This does not work for everyone so find a schedule that works for you, and during that time, make sure you devote yourself to your schoolwork. turn your phone on do not disturb if you have to.

3. Exercise
Doing some kind of physical activity is so important. Many of us do sports, so do some training for that. Find a workout on youtube. Go on a run. personally I like to set aside around 3-4 hours for myself to do some kind of exercise, or to be active in some way. I have a set workout and training routine that i stick to each day, and some days I change it up to make it more exciting.

 4. Talk to your friends!
So we may not be able to see them face to face right now, but call them or facetime.
I didn't realize how good this was for me, and how much it really makes my day just that much better, until I did it.

5. You time
At the end of the day, set time for yourself. I like to watch T.V, find a movie, sit in my bed in relax. During this time I usually will call my friends, and some nights we end up talking for hours!

There you have it, schedule in quarantine. Not to structured, but just enough to make sure things get accomplished and to have fun during the day.

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...
