If I Could Travel Back In Time To The 70's

If I could go back in time to any time period just to seek new adventures, I would have to go back to the 1970’s. Traveling back to the 70’s would give me the opportunity to try out different fads, and see what people did for entertainment at that time. Apparently during this time period people had pet rocks that came in boxes with little pieces of straw that came at the bottom of the box. I think it would very interesting to see how people interacted with these pet rocks compared to how they act with human beings. Platform shoes and jogging suits were also a big trend in fashion during this time period. Just the fact that everyone can wear jog suits and it be considered fashionable would be a dream come true, I would absolutely love to go around every day wearing jog suits and have people complimenting me. The platform shoes I believe would make for an interesting outfit which I’m always up for. Another adventure that I would come to face during this time period would be telephone booth stuffing’s, which is when a bunch of college students try to fit as many people as they can into telephone booths to achieve a world record. It was said that around 25 students were able to fit into the telephone booths and in order to do this people were trying to lose weight so that it would make room for more people. If I was to travel back to that time period I would have to beat that record. Disco music was just another great fad created during this time period and is the main reason as to why I would love to travel back to this time because just being given the opportunity to go out with friends and dance with huge froes would be an absolute blast.

Making The World A Better Place!!!

If I was able to change the world in one way in order to make it a better place I would get rid of all the materialistic possessions. People are consumed with having the nicest clothes, the coolest car, the biggest house, and whatever else needed to make them feel like they’re better than everyone else or just the hopes of fitting in with the most liked people. The problem is that people let these materialistic items control their lives; people will only hangout with others that have the same things as them and don’t accept anyone who is less fortunate than them. I believe that human beings should never base their relationships with others on what material possessions they have because there is probably more to the person then you know. Some people are not as fortunate as others and can’t afford all the nice things; which are why I wish popularity wasn’t based on how wealthy you are. I think a great way to avoid kids feeling like they don’t belong at school is by having everyone where school uniforms. I think that if teens were to all were school uniforms to schools no one would base friendships off of who has the nicest clothes or the best shoes because everyone would be dressed the same. The point is that people will never realize that material items aren’t everything in life because if you think about it when you die none of these things will follow with you. I get that everyone likes to have nice things, but the problem is people thinks it’s okay to go around bragging about everything they own and take joy in seeing that not everyone can afford nice things like them. I believe if materialistic items never existed people will be a lot more down to earth and no so all about themselves.

An Interview With Zach Miner

Zach Miner, a member of the class of 2014, happens to actually be a pretty cool kid. The interview was pretty successful, I learned a lot about the things he is interested in. His favorite sport is football because you have the opportunity to tackle whoever you please. He is currently involved in the Newspaper club which he quotes “is just a club were you write articles for the school newspaper.” Zach’s favorite subject throughout high school is history because he enjoys picturing himself going back in time and being there. His favorite movie is Insidious because it’s scary and funny all at the same time. Zach’s favorite genre is rock because he like how there is absolutely no rapping involved. When he grows up he hopes to have a job in medicine because it would be an interesting job and a great career to get involved in. Outside of school he enjoys taking the time to play football with his close friends. His biggest fear in life is failure because he said it’s the worst feeling knowing that you didn’t do your best. If Zach was granted with one wish it would be that the world wouldn’t come to an end in 2012 because he doesn’t want to die. His favorite color is green because it reminds him of grass and snakes. In ten years he sees himself playing professional football, or working in a medical field or even studying animals. He said his absolute favorite food would have to be key lime pie because it’s sour and sweet at the same time. Zach’s favorite pop culture icon is Peyton Manning a quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts, says he is a really good player; he doesn’t show off and has a sense of humor. After finding out more about Zach Miner I realized he is probably a cool person to be around.

Best Holiday Ever!!!!

If there was one holiday I absolutely couldn’t live without it, it would have to be Christmas. Everything about Christmas brings a smile to my face. Just the fact that your whole family comes together to celebrate on that special day, just means everything to me. Not to mention every Christmas year my family and I each put forth the effort to dedicate something to the meal. Every year we like to switch up the main course and try something new. Like last year we thought Cornish Hens would be something worth trying. This year I’m pretty pumped because we’re going to be making prime rib, which is my absolute favorite thing. Then of course there are all the other goods like cheesy potatoes, rolls, salad and endless desserts. I really enjoy the fact that we don’t make the same meal every year and it’s not the typical ham and mashed potatoes. The food is not the only reason as to why I enjoy Christmas so much, the fact that you get gifts that you have been asking for all year long from not just your parents but your whole family. I enjoy receiving gifts, but I also take sweet joy in watching my family’s expressions when I give them a gift. Christmas day isn’t just my favorite day of the holiday; I also really enjoy Christmas Eve because we go to my mom sisters house for a gift exchange. Then we head to church for the six o’clock church service and after church we make our way over to my stepdad’s side of the family for dinner and exchanging gifts. Once the night is over we head home and await the anticipation of opening the gifts once morning comes. As much as I enjoy all the other holidays, Christmas will always be my number one.

Dream Vacation

If I could travel anywhere in the world it would definitely have to be Hawaii. Not only have I never been there, but I find it to be the most appealing location to visit on vacation. I have heard so many great things about Hawaii that increases the anticipation of one day traveling there. Some of my cousins travel there every other year and have nothing but great things to say. Not only, can you sightsee, there are so many different excursions you can try out. There is zip lining, helicopter tours, day cruises and even Dolphin encounters. If I went to Hawaii for vacation I would be able to see Pearl Harbor, one of the most popular landmarks. Pearl Harbor happens to be the largest natural harbor in the United States to have the distinction to be recognized as National Historical Landmark. While there I would be able to see Haleakala, a non-erupting volcano which stands in the middle of Haleakala National Park. Not only would sightseeing and the different excursions make the trip amazing, but I believe the resorts in Hawaii are absolutely beautiful and would love to stay at any one of them. I think that sleeping in, getting up and lying by the beach every day, would just be the most relaxing thing ever. I’m the type of person that can spend their day relaxing, I don’t enjoy the constant hustle and bustle and I don’t consider that being on vacation. Vacation means not caring about schedules or money, just having some good old fun. When I am older and mostly likely graduated from college I hope to travel to Hawaii with a few of my good friends. Not only would traveling to Hawaii be an amazing experience, it would never compare to any other vacation I have ever went on.

Depression

Feeling upset, or what we call “depressed” happens to everyone and the sadness eventually passes over time. However, a person with clinical depression finds it interferes with their daily life. Their self-esteem is very low, they feel emptiness and hopeless. Clinical Depression is a serious disorder; it drains your energy, hope, and drive, making it difficult to do what you need to do to feel better. Many people suffer from this disorder and deal with it in the wrong way. There are many things in people’s daily life that can trigger this feeling. Some problems that can arise and lead to depression, would be dealing with constant bullying, feeling stressed, even the constant let down of not achieving something you truly care about. Bullying is a major reason as to why teens feel depressed; the daily picking on can really go to someone’s, and make them feel like they don’t belong and are unwanted. Bullying leads many teens to become seriously depressed were they don’t even want to go to school anymore and as the bullying continues teens eventually can’t take the depression anymore and end up taking their life. Another reason people can become depressed is if their feeling extremely stressed and have no idea how to cope with the situation. Feeling depressed because of stress can cause people to become resistant and constantly annoyed with their work, to the point that they don’t want to carry on. Another trigger to people’s depression is the constant let down of not achieving something that they truly care about. By people not receiving something that they worked really hard toward, they begin to give up and not care anymore. They become so depressed that they don’t even feel the need to get out of bed anymore. Depression is a serious disorder that can affect a person’s daily life and must be dealt with properly.
