I need a new playlist right now. My music taste is very unique, I like different music depending on my mood I can go from listening to Gracie Abrams to Travis Scott. I like most genres of music, I just hate classical music because it makes me want to fall asleep. I have like 4 playlists of all different genres that I cycle through but I am getting very sick of my main rap playlist. I need to make a new one but I don’t know what songs to even put on it. I am at the point where I have overplayed songs way too much and now am sick of them. I’ve been trying to listen to my 2000 throwback playlist but now I am getting sick of that as well so now I’m listening to my country playlist again. I need to make a driving playlist and a crash-out playlist.
We finally got our first win against pilgrim on Wednesday. Although I didn’t play due to a swollen knee, it was a really close game, a little too close. The score was 27-26. There were a few freshmen that finally got their first playing time and starting time. There were some great passes and rushes from them. In my opinion, Pilgrim is not a good team therefore we should’ve defeated them. We have our last game next Tuesday against a team that is in 1st place in our league. However, I do feel confident about it with all of the practices and experiences during the 5 league games. It will be a tough game but we do have a chance against them. I believe all the injured players will be back in action therefore we will definitely be ready to play against Beacon Hill on Tuesday. We’re currently 1-4 in record hopefully we will end the season with at least 2 wins.
With the upcoming basketball season starting in a few weeks. I feel fully ready and excited for it. During summer I worked with multiple basketball trainers and teams. The team this year is looking great, and has a lot of potential. There is more size in the team now. During the summer it has just been mostly basketball for me. I started the day with basketball practice with the team and ended the day with the trainer. The basketball trainer, Noah, has helped me a lot basketball wise. He has helped me gain more knowledge in the game. He taught me how to control the ball and the speed of the game. I have improved my jumper with his help. I averaged 17.2 points per game and 5 assists during the season in the league I have joined with my friend in Taiwan. Although we have been downgraded to the lower bracket this upcoming season, we still have a chance in making the CIF if we go 8-0 this season. Anyways, I have come prepared and ready this season to win first place in the league this year.
I love listening to music. It helps me focus and get things done. Whenever I need to lock in on cleaning my room, the house, my homework, or when I’m just trying to relax. I always play music. I hate this new rule at school that makes it so we’re just not allowed to listen to music. We can’t use headphones, so how are we supposed to listen to music unless we play it out loud, but if we play it out loud then we’re distracting others and most songs have swear words in them. I get why we aren’t allowed to play explicit music out loud but I’m not trying to listen to some kidz bop remix of my favorite song, so that basically means we can’t play any music out loud. Also, not everyone in a class is going to want to listen to the same music so people would get in arguments about it and make it so no one can listen to music at all. Thanks for listening to my rant have a good day.
I usually set my alarm for 6:35 and 7:00. I stop the first one and wake up at the second one; but this morning I had to ride in my first block so I set my alarm for 6 am. I still snoozed it once but after I was up and awake it was kind of nice. I had extra time to get ready and watch tv while I did my makeup. And I even had like ten minutes to just sit in bed, and I still left by 7:30. I have never been a morning person but I feel like I might want to start waking up earlier so I don’t feel rushed in the mornings. For me if I have a bad morning or I’m late it kinda ruins my whole day. I just feel so much calmer when I get to school early. And then I can hang out with my friends and go on my phone before school starts, and even sometimes get breakfast. Or if I leave early I can get starbucks, or coffee connection.
I have been riding since I was basically 2 years old. My first show was with OVS around 4th grade, I’m guessing. It was at Canada Larga on Jackie. She bucked me off like 2 times before it was my turn. I went into the ring nervous I would forget my course, and I almost did. In the end I completed it successfully. After the next few people took their turns the results were decided… I scoured 4th. I of course would have prefered a higher score but I was still pretty happy with that. Last year I went to Nationals for IEA in North Carolina. I flew all the way there for one ride. I placed 4th. I was very happy with that because I never even thought I would make it to regionals. When I was riding at regionals in Oregon I wasn’t even nervous because I never thought I would make it, which I think is why I ended up qualifying. Riding has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember and I’m so grateful I’ve gotten the opportunity to do this.
The flag football team has started the season with 3 loses. We were not playing our best in the first 2 games. We always start trying in second half instead of trying our best with 100% effort in the beginning of the game. Which causes us giving the opponents picks and interceptions. We will have to start the next games with a good attitude. We have not been prepared before the game. We need to get our head in the game before the game even starts. In the third game we played against a really good school, which it was a tough game. We only have three games left in the season. We need to win all three games in order to get into CIF. During this week until the next game, we will need to be working hard since there is still a lot of work to work to put into both defense and offense. Coach has made some changes in the starting roster and game plans hopefully it will work and we will get 3 wins.
Mixing music can be fun once you start to learn it but before figuring out the controllers and all the techniques in mixing music, it can be stressful. It all started in the winter of my freshman year. I got my first ever DJ controller, Pioneer DDJ Rev1 It took me a long time to finally figure out how to get the sound out from my speaker and how to put songs in the software. That’s when I decided to start this new hobby. I start mixing songs with friends when hanging out with them and messing around. However, I stopped playing with it in sophomore year because I started losing interest in it. Now that I just got another new controller and mixer I have decided to start playing with it again. There are lots of things to be careful about. For example the most important thing starts with the BPM of the song. Usually if songs are different in between 0-5 bpm then it should fit just fine. Secondly, is the transition. It is not easy as it seems. It takes practices to make good transitions in between songs or from one song to another. Lastly is it requires basic music theory to be able to create good mixes and transitions. Anyways, mixing music has became a big part in my hobbies it helps me relax and just have fun messing with the music. It’s also one of the ways to hang out with friends for me which is why I love it now.
