No❤️

    Every time I open a comment section on social media, I see at least one saying that really pushes my buttons. Whether it be "No❤️", or "Um child anyways", the overused sayings just get funnier and funnier every time I read them. Using one of these or any of the other sayings popular on TikTok ruins a conversation, just how having a wet sock ruins the rest of your day. Almost never do they add anything to a conversation (unless said conversation is discussing how annoying the sayings are), and they only serve to get on my nerves. The sayings often serve as a weak excuse of a comeback, and ruin any sort of friendly roasts. The worst part of these sayings? They absolutely refuse to die. Every time it seems as if they fade away, a new surge of No❤️ begins bringing with it a resurgence of my annoyance towards it. 
After looking at Google Trends for activity in the sayings, I came to the unfortunate conclusion that these sad excuses for comebacks are in no risk of dying out. If we continue to let this trend go on, future generations will also have to suffer, so we must band together to put an end to them once and for all. If you see any friends using these terms, have an intervention and get them the professional help they need, before things spiral out of control. By actively stopping these sayings from being used, normal conversations can be saved, and the world will be better for it.

Waiting for Plot

After the first day of watching Godot, I decided to do a little more digging in an attempt to find meaning. What I found was not deeper understanding, but rather disappointment at the various missed opportunities for genuine commentary. In an interview, Samuel Beckett himself states that Godot is not meant to be a play on words to represent God, despite the various pronunciations Pozzo stabs at all sounding as such. Theatre of the Absurd plays on religious commentary to highlight absurdism of life, yet Waiting for Godot somehow lacks. Godot reminds me of a bad joke where no one laughs, and the joke teller digs themselves a deeper and deeper hole by explaining it's not meant to be funny. Supporters of the play explain how it's not meant to be enjoyed, but when so many of the opportunities to make a point are missed, I find it hard to even appreciate the attempts. Everything is interconnected, such as discussions of hanging leading to Pozzo appearing with Lucky on a noose. Simila

Reflection

 One of my favorite things with the first semester was the free reading time. I don't typically read much during my regular life, so having a time carved out just for reading let me experience books I otherwise wouldn't have. In general, when we read books in class we dissect them to their smallest pieces, which somewhat takes away from the overall enjoyment of the book. I found the class workload extremely manageable, even with my other APs. I found blogging to be overall enjoyable, and really liked the more freeform style they adopted towards the end of the semester. I personally really like the Harkness discussions and found them to be some of the most enjoyable class periods. Hearing other peoples ideas and bringing new thoughts and life into a story gave me a new appreciation for whatever piece we read. I think the grading system motivated me to try and find original thought rather than just echo the ideas of others. With online learning it can sometimes be hard to stay mo
