unrealistic expectations

 Class today was alright. We went to breakout rooms to do step 3 of our project. We had to pick a subtopic that we wanted to do for our introduction. Personally, I wanted to do unrealistic expectations that social media attributes to, but Arian and the other girl chose mental health issues because they believed it was the easiest one. I thought our subtopic unrealistic expectations would be better because, to me, it'd be easier to talk about the way people expect to have excitement in their life 24/7, even though life as a whole is quite mundane to say the least. Also, if we did unrealistic expectations we could've easily talked about the pressure there is on people to look, act, and feel a certain way. PLUSSSSSS we could've combined social media with how it highlights certain experiences whether good or bad, and also point out the way it has caused us to view relationships. I understood their reasons for choosing mental health issues but in my head I'm like "...okay???? mental health issues are a factor when discussing the abuse of social media, specifically depression. But do they feel the way they do about their life because they have UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS as to what their life is supposed to be like?" Do y'all get where I'm going with this? Not saying that unrealistic expectations is the only factor when arguing the causes of depression, I'm just saying we could've connected so many ideas with this subtopic.. that's just my opinion though. Me and Arian took a while to figure out the sentence to start with, because we had different ideas on how to start it. I didn't like the idea that Arian gave so instead of throwing it out the window I tried to kind of incorporate both of our ideas in the first sentence, and basically reword it a little bit so we'd both agree on it. She didn't like that and she didn't want to continue going back and forth on it, so she forced me to tell her the previous sentence that I came up with. We didn't even end up using my idea for the first sentence because the second sentence literally contradicted it. I felt like she was mad and irritated the whole time after that, so it made me not want to give any more suggestions on the other sentences. But, I couldn't do her like that because one girl in our group barely ever talks, and the other one hasn't been here. It's just the draft though, so as we continue to do it I'm sure we'll agree on it at the end.

    Yeah I get what you're trying to say, and I think that social medias expectation and mental health k go hand in hand. You guys can incorporate into a paragraph where you say the cause and effects.

last blog post.. til august

 Hey y'all, I know my last post was supposed to be the one I made giving advice, but I thought that was so lame. So, this is my real last blog post... until August cause I'm definitely gonna talk junk on here about my next teachers.  In class today, we barely did anything because he was just putting in the final final grade. I was sad, but happy at the same time. I'm happy I got one more laugh before I left the class forreal. He said I was the blog champion of the class and that took me outttttttttttt😂.  I remember I hated this class so freaking much, and it ended up becoming my favorite class of the day. With all the funny comments that were made by Mr. Rease, and my friends blowing my phone up with laughing emojis, this class never failed to put a smile on my face. I would have never thought that I'd enjoy blogging this much, and it has actually gave me some ideas on hobbies or even what I could become in the future. Updating this blog every school day was something

my partner was STRUGGLING

Spring break should have been 2 weeks. Waking up at 8 is garbage. I don't even pay attention in my first or second period, but I always know what's going on. Third and fourth period are usually >>>>>>>. Anyways, today we had to upload our sources in a folder, and the first few times Mr. Rease was explaining it like absolute trash. He gave us 10 minutes to upload everything, and I had to call my partner to see if she knew what she was doing. She didn't. So we're on the phone just complaining about how nothing he said made sense, and just trying to figure it out ourselves thennnnnn he calls my name and basically asks me if I know what I'm doing. SIR IF I KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING YOU WOULD'VE SEEN MY UPLOADS😂. I'm glad he called on me though, cause I know if he didn't I would've been trying to figure it out for myself the whole class period. After he explained it the first time to me, it didn't make sense, but when he asked me to

last prompt

 Some advice I'd give to the next students coming in would simply be to practice. Seriously, if you've never practiced writing an essay in 40 minutes, it's best that you work on that and actually make time to do that. Also, work on your comprehension skills PLEASE. Because some of these passages they give are so confusing. You gotta make sure you remember all the suggestions that are given for writing an essay, cause to be honest, it's the best one I've came across so far. OHHHH and let's not forget commentary. COMMENTART COMMENTARY COMMENTARY. It's more important than I thought it was in the beginning of the year. The thesis is really the backbone of the essay too, so have it down pat before exam time. Lastly, I'd just say to take your time and don't stress. If you start practicing early, you'll be good. And before I really end this off, don't be boring in your blog. It sucks, and your partner will probably hate you. Cause when a persons blo
