Underwater Adventure (Week 29)

The world is under water, everything is flooded, our last option is to get in the submarine and just set sail. We would travel deep below the surface of the water, to places unknown to mankind. Down there, we would make tremendous discoveries that could change Earth forever. We would find things, such as undiscovered species and plants that have new kinds of components in them, that can accomplish amazing things, such as cures for diseases or healing "powers". There is very little mankind left, but our class all managed to survive. When returning to the surface, we would present the many things we found to National Science Organizations, and become the most famous, courageous, accomplished English class in World History.

Thank you, Friend (Week 28)

Dear Nate,
  You have always been there for me, as a brother and as my friend. You've believed in me, even when I gave up myself. You're more than a friend, you are family... We've stuck together through thick and thin. At times, I get down, and start to lose confidence. But I know, if I come to you, you'll always know what to say to make me feel better. When I get frustrated with Mom and Dad, you know how to calm me down, and remind me that there's no point in stressing over it if I can't change the outcome. When I start to get overwhelmed or stressed with an overload of things, you help me to step back, and get everything under control. You're the best big brother, and friend a sister could ask for... I love you N***a!


                                  Love, Haley <3

How to Love (Week 27)

My favorite song is How to Love, By Li'l Wayne.My story is going to be based on a girl, who gets to meet cupid. Cupid is on a mission to teach this girl the true meaning of "love", because she has never encountered a person who has experienced that feeling. The girl, Emma, was sleeping in her bed one night, when cupid comes floating into her room to awaken her. Scared to have a flying stranger in her room, Emma begins swatting at him with her pillow to scare him away. After being attacked, cupid introduces himself, and informs her that they are to go on a journey. Reluctant, but kind of interested, Emma leaves with him. First, he shows her how her parents act together (what she currently perceives as "being in love"), not thinking anything weird of this, Emma asks Cupid, what the point of their journey is, which he replies with "I'm here to show you what true happiness shared between 2 people is like." Emma takes this to be a joke, so she leaves. Cupid is restricted from forcing Emma into going with him, so he must let her go. Emma grows up in the same environment Cupid was trying to shield her from, her entire life. And never learns... How To Love... What a sad story...

Seahorses, Forever! (Week 26)



My favorite video to watch on Youtube,  is just a simple image of an animated lizard talking about random, but hilarious things. The video can be found under: “Seahorses, Forever!” What makes this video so funny is the back story of it, and how it originated. These guys took a video of their friend, under the influence, sitting in front of a muted TV, and commenting on the things that he sees. Personally, I don’t like “Gangnam Style” or the “Harlem Shake”. I just find them to be annoying, and overplayed. Although I do agree of how they got their video to become so popular. What makes a video go viral consists of different things: 1) your video has to reach out to a specific audience (has to be something people will be interested in). 2) Then you have to get the word out about the video (spread the word in school, or via Facebook and hope people tell their friends. 3) lastly, you just sit back and watch your video go up in views. I don’t think I could make a video go viral, mostly because I don’t have the interest or motivation in putting that work in to be the most popular thing on the web. I prefer to focus on the more important things.  

My Theme Song (Week 25)



The theme song of my life, would be very upbeat and catchy. It would be portrayed as a happy, positive song.. until you actually listened to the words. The words would almost be depressing, and dreary to illustrate the “mask” people put on in public to hide the true mysteries of their life. It would do that, because people would hear the happy music and think, okay the story line will be happy too.. then they pay attention and learn the truth. I don’t know what kind of lyrics would go with it, but I do know who I’d have perform it. It would be, “The Gin Blossoms”, only because they also do the theme song to my favorite TV show in the world, which is, “Friends”
