Cell Phone

If I had no cell phone, my daily life would be very different. I wouldn't have the ability to communicate with people. The biggest things that I would miss would be having music at the palm of my hand. There are so many people that are too dependent on their cell phones and "can't live without them." I would be fine without a cell phone. I go camping for long periods of time without a phone and it is such a nice escape from technology and reality. If nobody had cell phones, we would all get used to it, but if I was the only one without one, and I was around people with them, it would be much harder to adjust.

Inanimate Objects

In my opinion, it is okay to cling to inanimate objects for the memories associated with them but it is also okay to cling to them in the moment. I have momentos from different trips that I like to keep that remind me of where I have been. Something that is very important to me are bracelets that I have gotten my camping trips I have been on every summer for the past five years. They are things that even if I don't get any use out of them, I will continue to keep throughout the years. I also have things that I cling to for no memorial reasons. I cling hard to my bed because I love sleeping and it is so comfortable. I think it is okay to cling to things, but only to a certain point, of not being a horder.

Typical Day

Eat, sleep, school, sports and homework. These five things consume my day every week. I am consistently doing the same things over and over. Because these things take up so much time, it is hard to be able to squeeze in anything else. The occasional Netflix or time with my family is thrown in there but not as much as I would like. This is what leads to the stress in my life, but being this busy during the week is what makes me look forward to the weekend that much more.

Past: Stress

The word to describe my past is stress. Dealing with school and sports together leads to a lot of stress. Everyday I have school, practice and then multiple hours of homework. On top of that, this year has had college applications to worry about. Trying to deal with all four of those things gets overwhelming. Hopefully in my future, my stress level will drop and my happiness level will raise.

Hamlet Blog #3

Dear Michiko Kakutani, 

I understand your point but I do not 100% agree with you. You have good ideas about different ways that Shakespeare is relavent to our lives nowadays but I think it is the other day around. I agree with the fact that there are multiple different shows and movies out recently that are based off of Shakspeare plays. They are able to relate to people now, especially younger people which is a smart way to get out a different era of writing. But I believe that Shakspeare isn't as relavent today as it used to be. People have to change it around and recreate it in different ways to make it relavent. The new shows based off of it are more relavent because they relate to this century where as literally Shakespeare isn't as much.

Even though this is true, I still believe that everyone should read Shakespeare at some point in life. It is a very different style of writing that is difficult to read. It involves very deep analysis and thinking to be able to interpret it so it is a good challenge that all people should experience.
