Music can get extremely boring, listening to the same songs over and over again. I listen to so much music, and whenever I find a new song that I like; I tend to overplay the song and eventually this leads to me disliking the song. I needed something to do other then listen to music to take up my time, especially since in order for me to be productive or get any work done I have to have some form of background entertainment. I started listening to podcasts, in order to replace listening to so much music.

I went through so many differing podcasts until I found a podcast that interested me. I tried sports, astronomy, and comedy podcasts until I finally found one that I enjoy. I stumbled upon the motley fool podcast, and I truly enjoyed it. Motley fool podcasts are all about investing and the stock market, which is something I have always wanted to get into, but have not had the time or the patience to learn everything. The more and more I listened the more and more I wanted to get into stocks, so I recently created my own portfolio, and have fallen in love with stocks. I recently increased my initial investment by 130% in just two months of trading stocks. Since then, sadly it has plummeted 25%, but that’s just part of trading and I couldn’t me more eager to continue to improve my portfolio.

This week March Madness will begin and I couldn’t be more excited.  I am so excited that I have already made 50 brackets. The problem is that every year the same thing happens, I get super excited and super attached to my brackets, and literally every single one of my brackets lose on the first day. Then, I feel like I am living in Spain but the s is silent.

My sleeper pick is Syracuse. For some reason, Syracuse got an 11 seed which is absolutely insane because they are so much better than that. There were actually so many snubs in this years bracket. I know that I might be a little bit bias, but LSU as an eight seed is absolute trash. LSU deserved at least a six seed after their performance in the SEC tournament.

I have always heard people talk about deep fakes and always had some sort of idea of what it was, but after watching the videos I realized that I knew so much less then I actually realized. I genuinely have always enjoyed having a bunch of knowledge, so this realization that I did not know nearly as much as I thought I did forced me to dig deeper into the videos and learn even more about deep fakes.

A deep fake a different form of artificial intelligence or AI  that is different than what we have been used too.  A deep fake has the ability to find a specific persons face and use technology so that the face of that persons appears as another person completely. It is both a very cool use of technology and also a very dangerous use of technology. If someone knew how to use the technology very well, then they could use the technology to set up somebody and completely destroy someones career which is extremely dangerous

Over the course of a year, I have improved many differing aspects of English. I believe I have improved my writing more than anything else in this current English class. I have not ever been very good at writing and this year I feel like I have been taught what is the correct way to write and what is the wrong way to write. I have finally started to be able to read through one of my papers and correct things that I have done incorrectly or not to the best of my ability. The most important aspect of writing is by far the amount of effort that is put in to the paper.

No matter how good you are at writing if you put little to no effort into writing then the writing is going to be bad. The only way to improve at anything in life is failure and learning how you can better prepare next time. I have failed at writing over and over again, and It has only made me work harder and improve my skills. This class has also taught me a lot more aspects of writing that I can contribute to my writing. I have constantly been improving and hope I will continue to improve and that I never settle and am always constantly improving.

The more and more the year goes on, the more and more clear it is. My childhood and high school experience is coming closer and closer to the end. I am not ready for that, I have had way too many great experiences and created so many amazing memories. I love my friends and I am not ready to let go of the people who I have grown up with my whole life. A lot of my friends all want to stay together and go too LSU, but some of my friends want to go somewhere else for college, and if even one of the boys goes away everything would change so much.

Everyone tells me, “high school is the best time of your life”, and I hate it so much. Do not get me wrong I love high school, but I do not wanna peak in high school. If it is the best time of my life that means that life will never get better after high school, and high school only lasts 4 years of a hopefully really long life. Also, If “this is the best time of my life” then two of the best years of my life have been ruined by covid. High School is amazing but do not tell me life goes downhill after it, because my high school experience has not been all sunshine and rainbows.

There has been a lot of Wolf of Wall Street memes lately. So I will choose Wolf of Wall Street as my movie review. It is an absolutely phenomenal story about a man named Jordan Belfort. Jordan Belfort starts off as a young man hungry to be successful. He starts in wall street as a stock broker, and on his first day finds his mentor. Now, Jordan starts off as a good young innocent man wanting to make his money without breaking any laws. Whenever he soon meets his mentor his views instantly change.

He goes to lunch with his mentor and his mentor explains to him that the only was to be successful and survive is drugs. Jordan soon realizes the reality and his life is forever changed. Soon after the stock market breaks down and he is let go. Jordan then starts his own brokering firm and hires his friends and teaches them. Then,  Jordan becomes extremely rich and greedy and begins breaking laws to be even more wealthy. He starts one of the greatest firms and cheats on his wife and marries the most beautiful girl. The movie is truly an amazing show of the pros and cons of greed and wealth. I rate it a 10/10 and a must watch for everyone else.

The basketball season is finally coming to an end, and I do not know how I feel about it. After this year I only have 1 more year left and then I am done. I hate basketball sometimes and I can get really aggravated with it, but I have played the sport my whole life and it has always taken up a large quantity of my time. All the before school practices that I hate so much, I feel like I will miss the most. Just being with the team and messing around in between games is some of my greatest memories.

I believe it is important for everyone to play a team sport in high school. The life lessons and the camaraderie is like no other in life. It has really helped me learn how to work, how to overcome obstacles, and how to deal with failure. I will always remember the lessons I have learned from playing basketball, the good ones and the bad ones. Yeah running suicides at the end of practice sucks, but at least I’m running suicides next to the boys and bettering myself.

The Searcher is an amazing crime thriller novel. It was published in 2020 and written by Tana French. Tana French does an amazing job of implementing many differing literary techniques into the writing to create a more clear and interesting image. Whenever I read this book, it reminds me of watching; Criminal Minds, NCIS, and Castle. Although, Criminal Minds, NCIS, and Castle are all shows and the Searcher is a book, all of the thriller’s interact with the audience in a similar fashion. There are three things both the shows and the book do specifically that I love.

All of the thrillers first make you fall in love with all of the characters, and emphasize for them. Then, it pulls you in and doesn’t let go. The audience becomes so obsessed with the plot and the characters, that you can not stop reading until you figure out what happens. This makes it really hard to stop reading, although sometimes it makes the audience read too fast and miss a lot of important details. The last thing all of the criminal thrillers do extremely well is; it forces the reader or audience to try and predict the futuristic action, and try predict what happens before it even happens.

I can’t believe college football season is over. I hate this time of the year, especially this year. Once college football ends, the only thing I have to look forward too is Mardi gras and spring break. However, for Mardi Gras I always have basketball, but I can still normally go down to New Orleans. This year the mayor of New Orleans canceled it, so I am stuck to doing absolutely nothing but basketball that week.

Spring Break is my lifeline. The only thing pushing me through school. Normally, I just have to get through 5 days of school and then i got saturday night football and sunday afternoon football. Although, I can watch basketball. Don’t get me wrong i love basketball but it is just not the same feeling. The feeling of tuning into cbs for a saturday night special can not be replaced, and I hate it. I wait until LSU is good again because that feeling even makes it so much better.
