Reminders for Making the Best of Hard Times

  1. Remember that “All Things End:” Think about any past struggle you have gotten over. Are you in disbelief about the amount of heartache and time you’ve devoted to this? If so, then remember that this current time will likely pass the same, and your life will be as unaccustomed to this despair as you currently are with your past ones. If not, at least go listen to “All Things End” by Hozier because optimistic nihilism has never looked so good.
  2. Immerse Yourself in Escapism: Escapism has a bad rap, but if things currently are going poorly, a little fantasy won’t hurt. Read a book, start a new show or binge an old one, just entertain yourself. Distracting yourself can even be “productive,” which is what CEOs use to describe commendable activities. If you have to do well in school or earn tips at your underappreciated minimum wage job, then you might as well motivate yourself.
  3. Talk to Other People: As no feeling is completely original, it’s likely that there are people around you who share the same existential dread that you do. Vent all you want to this person, be validated by hearing your same sentiments repeated back at you and talk all you want about anything else as well. Being around others can also remind you that, if anything were to happen to those specifically like you, you and your friends can share the interest of fighting back.

Basketball

In this winter basketball season we will have 13 games, all away games. In recent practices we have been working on our offensive game plays. Coach has introduced us new plays such as Duke and Princeton. Duke is when the 1 calls for a high pick and roll on the court with the wings and 4 staying at their positions, 2 at the wings and 1 at the free throw line. Princeton is when the 1 will call Princeton high on the court with 4 players stacking from the left wing all the way to the right wing. It will require paying lots of attention during the games because Princeton can be used in different forms such as inside screen into an easy layup, or pass and cut to dish to the player on the top to get a wide open 3. However, with all these games finally scheduled we are still working on getting an indoor basketball gym to host 1 or 2 home games excluding CIF playoffs. This will be another exciting season with the new coach, new system, and new games. We are in hope of returning to playoffs this year.
