There are people who I have not seen in ten months. Friends, teachers, people I used to pass by in the hall..... The thought of seeing everyone again makes me kind of anxious, and the idea of seeing familiar people turn into strangers is uncomfortable - everyone is going to be a completely different person than the one I last remember.

 I wonder if I make bad decisions. What defines a bad decision? Is it one you regret? Or is it one that doesn’t benefit you? If you don’t regret it in the end, does that make it a good decision? As humans, we make decisions everyday, and these decisions decide our fate. I realized that avoiding “bad” decisions at all costs may not help me in the long run. It seems most logical to prevent myself from doing something “bad”, but with this also comes experience, lessons, and wisdom.

Paige Stephan - Week 12

I have been working on recreating the first short story idea in a more time-efficient and hopefully better-paced manner. It was based on an idea that my dad had given to me a while ago, in which a cat who has never seen humans before comes across them for the first time. It is going to be written from two perspectives. This particular perspective is written through a more horror-oriented lens.

 I love spontaneous events. One day me and my friends had nothing to do and we decided to drive into Boston together. It was one of the best days, we were living in the moment and taking any opportunity given to us. It was one of those moments where you didn’t need to take a million pictures to remember it. We went into the city with no expectations, we just wanted to get away for a little while. Sometimes when events are planned there are such high expectations of exactly how the day will go. For this spontaneous event, everyone got along and it was a day I will always remember.

 The weekly screen time report is very direct and confrontational. When I’m on my phone for long periods of time, that’s all there is to it. Our own perceptions of time can be warped. That’s why they say “time flies when you’re having fun!” However, being on my phone for long is nowhere near fun. I feel awful afterwards, I feel like I threw away half of my day by looking at a small screen. The screentime report is like getting a progress report in your worst class. It shows you that something has to change. 

Sakthi C- Week 11

 Last year, life was limited for everyone. For a certain period of time no one was allowed to leave their house and hang out with any friends. Over the course of this new year, I hope to break through those limitations and do something I want to do. I want to hang out with my friends. I want to leave my house to go to the mall. It’s been a year since I have gone out for vacation and I am hoping I will be able to go out for one this upcoming February break. 

Kate Barnes- Week 11

If I’m being totally honest I don’t think I’ve read all the way through a book since eighth grade. But a few days ago, a friend recommended a book to me called Kingdom of the Wicked, and ever since I’ve been addicted to it. I read 200 pages in a day, which is a pretty big deal for me. I forgot how good it feels to really love a book that you’re reading.
