We have been in quarantine for the last 25 days and we are expected to stay in quarantine for at least another month. The circumstances and reasons for which we have to stay in quarantine are not the most ideal and I wish they were for less tragic reasons but I have to admit that at the beginning I was looking forward to quarantine. Us being in quarantine meant that we wouldn’t have to go to school and I was happy about that.
In the very beginning I spent most of my days in bed watching TV and sleeping in late. I was having a good time. Then halfway through our second week in quarantine I started going insane because even though we could leave our houses it was advised not to and to only go to places that were important, but stores and most places were still open. Then a couple of days later it was announced that quarantine would be extended till April 10th and then a couple of day’s after that they announced that everyone was expected to stay home and only leave their house if it was to go somewhere important like the grocery store. At that point a lot of people were told to work from home if they could and most stores started closing.
Our third week into quarantine I really was loosing my mind because at that point all I wanted to do was leave my house and go anywhere as long as it meant I wasn’t stuck inside that house any longer. I wanted to go outside and have some sort of social interaction with people that weren’t my family. At that point I was looking forward to going back to school just because it meant I would be able to leave my house and interact with people. Then it was announced that quarantine would be extended till may 4th and that if you were to leave the house for you to wear a face mask, and at that point I lost all hope of me ever leaving my house.
This Spring Break I probably wont be doing anything because of the Corona Virus. Usually for Spring Break me and my family will travel somewhere around Texas. Usually its to San Antonio and other times to Galveston, or some other cities around the border. This year though we probably wont go anywhere because of the Corona Virus and because a lot of people might not be traveling anywhere. We might go to San Antonio if my Dad feels like driving there and if my brother has some days off of work, but we most likely wont be going anywhere. That means i’m just going to spend most of the break at home doing absolutely nothing.
Make a top 10 list of anything. It could be your favorite songs, music, sportspeople etc. Or it could be school related, like your ‘top 10 moments from the school year so far’ or your ‘top 10 lunchtime activities’.
Teen Wolf
Teen wolf revolves around Scott McCall who is a high school student as well as his group of friends that live in the small town of Beacon Hills. Their whole lives gets turned upside down when Scott is bitten by a werewolf the night before his sophomore year, becoming a werewolf himself. Teen wolf is at the top of my list because it has a good combination of action and comedy which are two of my favorite genres. I have re watched Teen wolf 5 times by now.
2 The chilling adventures of Sabrina
The chilling adventures of Sabrina is an adaptation of the “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” tale. In the show Sabrina Spellman battles to live both her mortal and witch life in unison while having her life as well as her family’s life threatened. I never read any of the books for the original story but once I started watching the show on Netflix I was immediately hooked.
3. Brooklyn Nine-Nine
The show revolves around Jake Peralta who is an NYPD detective in Brooklyn’s 99th Precinct, who is often getting into trouble with his new Captain, Raymond Holt. One of the reasons why Brooklyn Nine-Nine is one of my favorite TV shows is because it is very comedic and every time I watch a new episode I have tears streaming down my face because of how hard I am laughing.
4. Skam
The TV show Skam also,known as Shame in the U.S., is a Norwegian tv show that is portrayed as a web series that follows the daily life of teenagers at a Norwegian school that is located Norway. Each season Skam follows a new main character. Each season has focus on particular topics, like eating disorders, sexual assault, homosexuality, and etc. The reason why I liked SKAM was because it was a foreign TV show and so it had a lot of foreign topics that American TV shows wouldn’t have.
5. Haikyu!!
The Anime focuses on Hinata, who at the time is a middle school student, who suddenly gains a love of volleyball after seeing a volleyball competition on tv. His dream is to become like his favorite player, the “Tiny Giant”. His dreams are soon crushed after his first official match, where his team is defeated by the middle school championship favourite team, which includes Kageyama who is known as the “King of the Court”. The reason why Haikyu isn’t higher up on my list even though it is one of my favorite Anime’s is because im personally not the biggest fan of anime’s. Even though I do have some anime’s that I love, when compared to regular tv shows they usually come second. It’s one of my favorite anime’s because it revolves around a sport and I love shows that revolve around a sport.
6. Hit the Floor
Hit the Floor revolves around a basketball team named the Los Angeles Devils and around their dance squad named the Devil Girls. The season starts of with Ahsha trying to join the devil girls since her mother used to be an original Devil Girl. While she’s at auditions she meets Derek who is one of the top players for the Los Angeles Devils. Throughout the season’s Ahsha develops a lot of romantic relationships as well as friendships and enemies. The reason Hit the Floor is so low on my list even though it is one of my favorite TV shows is because of the last season. The last season was absolutely horrible, all of the original charters left in the fourth season and the plot had completely changed. It felt like a completely different show.
7. A Discovery of Witches.
The TV show is based off a book that was written by Deborah Harkness. It follows Diana Bishop who is a witch that has been neglecting her powers since she was a child, but when she discovers a manuscript that was thought to be lost for all of eternity she is compelled to embrace her powers. A Discovery of Witches is so low on my list because so far there is only one season with the second season being released later this year. Since there is only one season there’s only so much that I can base my opinion off of.
8. Dynasty
Dynasty follows the lives of the Carrington family and the drama that they face on a daily basis. It is based on the 1980’s soap opera of the same name. The show begins with Fallon finding out that her father is engaged to crystal who is a rival employee. The season progresses with Fallon trying to do everything she can to break up her fathers relationship.
9. VEEP
Veep focuses on Selina Meyer, who was a former senator but is currently the vice president, trying to fight her way into the presidency. She deals with all of the drama that goes on in the white house and trying to make sure that everything is under control while also trying to maintain an innocent image for when she decides to run for president. One of the reasons as to why I was so interested in this show is because I thought it was a unique topic that hadn’t been done before.
10. How to Get Away with Murder
How to Get Away with Murder follows the lives of Annalise Keating, Connor Walsh, Michaela Pratt, Asher Millstone Laurel Castillo, and Wes Gibbins. Annalise is a professor who teaches defense law while the rest are her students who are taking her class. She chooses them to assist her with cases so that they get a better understanding of the law and the things and sacrifices that they’ll have to make if they want to win.
Last year during the summer me and my family decided to go to Orlando, Florida for my birthday. We were only there for 4 days and could only really do anything for 2 which isn’t a lot but it was enough for us considering we didn’t want to do a lot. Our plan was to go to Universal Studios one day which is where I really wanted to go and then go to Disney World the next day which is where my brother and his girlfriend really wanted to go.
Almost immediately our trip was not going great because the whole plan for the trip was for my whole family to go which meant my mom, dad, brother, and his girlfriend but then 2 days before our trip my dad got really sick which meant that he couldn’t go. Then the day of our trip right as we were boarding our first flight we got an email saying that our second flight had been canceled, since we had layover. Luckily they were able to book us another flight and so once we got to Louisiana we boarded our second flight after having been delayed for 2 hours.
Once we got to Florida we went to our hotel, checked in, and fell asleep. The next day we went to Universal Studios and I just had a lot of fun. We were wandering around looking at all the different themed areas, taking pictures, going to all the stores and buying stuff. Then we got to Harry Potter World and I became obsessed. I was taking pictures of absolutely everything going into every single store that we passed because I didn’t want to miss anything. I was buying a lot of candies, shirts, pins and just everything that I could get my hands on. I got to go to knockturn alley which I thought was pretty cool because it was all dark and mysterious. Overall I had a pretty good time just walking around everywhere. Then once I had seen everything we left and walked around the rest of the park, went to some of the shows that they were hosting and got to see a lot of characters.
The next day we went to Disney World and since the minute that we arrived I did not like it. The only thing that I enjoyed about Disney World was how we got to take a ferry to the Magical Kingdom and how once we were there I got to ride carousel which was the first time I had ever been on one. Once we got to the Magical Kingdom there was a bunch of long lines of people trying to get in and then it was also way hotter that day compared to the day before when we went to Universal Studios. After half an hour of waiting in line we finally got in and I just wasn’t excited. Everything was obviously Disney themed and while everybody else was really excited I was just bored because I never really watched a lot of Disney so I wasn’t familiar with a lot of the characters and the ones I did recognize I just wasn’t obsessed with them. We spent a couple of hours walking around going in and out of stores, we watched the performance that they had going on, and got to walk through the castle. Then we went and watched some of the shows that they were hosting , got on some rides, and then got something to eat. After all of that we were really tired and it had gotten extremely hot so we decided to leave and go back to our hotel room. Then the next day we packed up, went to the airport, and headed back home.
Overall it was really fun trip and I really enjoyed it and I would definitely go again but this time I would only go to Universal Studios and spend the other day just exploring Florida and wondering around.
My name is Karla, and am currently a high school student who is writing these blogs for a class. Some things that should be known about me is that I love to travel to different places, I love to read books, and my favorite movie series is Harry Potter
Traveling
Some of the places that I have traveled to have been San Diego, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Atlanta, Boston, and Orlando. My favorite place that I have traveled to would have to be Orlando, Florida because while we were there we went to Universal Studios and we went to Disney Land and I got the opportunity to visit Harry Potter world. My dream place to travel to is Canada , I have always since I was a little kid wanted to go to Canada.
Books
I love to read books in my free time, I usually read fantasy or Action books because they capture my attention and are a lot more interesting to me than Romance books. Romance books are too predictable for me. Some of my favorite books that I have read are All for The Game series, The Cruel Prince, Carry On, and Red White & Royal Blue.
The picture above is of our fake baby Jemima which my friend Kim bought from family dollar for 5 dollars. The whole reason we bought her in the first place was as a joke, just for laughs, to see what everyone else’s reactions would be. Then after a couple of days we actually really enjoyed having Jemima around and throwing her around and into trash cans. Then after a couple of weeks we got tired of having to carry her around and take her everywhere and none of us wanted to have her so we decided to bury her and have a funeral for her. RIP Jemima.
