Kelly Clarkson Songs

Her voice distributes a very powerful and strong tone which gives everyone energy. Some songs that are sung by her are: #1: Dark Side - "Everybodys got a dark side." True.

This displays how every good person can have a dark side. #2: Catch My Breath - Just a beautiful song about life. Words...

Finding Old Writing

Have you decided to go through the forgotten files on your computer, dusty diaries, unfinished journals,  and torn up notebooks from school; rediscovering old pieces from when you were younger? When you read the words that you have written so long ago, you realize how much things have changed. I always enjoyed finding writing because it reminds me of who I used to be. It can bring up a lot of memories; what you were doing and how you felt. Maybe you'll stumble upon a letter you wrote to the president in the third grade and find a stain only...

Winter nights, how to keep warm

This winter has been incredibly cold, colder than the winters in past years. One thing that keeps me up at night is having cold feet. It’s terrible!!!  And a normal person would say put socks on, so I tried that, didn’t work, and then I tried fuzzy socks. Still didn’t work, and then one day I found these specific slippers, but instead of a hard sole at the bottom, a soft cushion was there. I bought them, and every since then I have been using...

BUNNIES ARE SO FLUFFY & CUTE

Bunnies are so fluffy and cute. I wonder why they don’t have a charming purr like a kitty or puppy. I guess bunnies are shy and are busy eating carrots; that makes them the more charming. Bunnies are so fluffy and cute that even a candy brand was made for them to honor their existence. Introducing the White Rabbit Candy, this candy is shaped near a rectangular prism and is warped in white, blue, black, and red with a white rabbit symbol. The White...

Pretty Little Liars Premiere, Thumbs Down

Finally after a long anticipating 6-month wait Pretty Little Liars returned for their 4th season on ABC Family on Tuesday. For the past few months Pretty Little Liars fans have been teased with the trailers and sneak peeks of the premiere. I dislike when show producers do this when the premiere is still far away because it makes you so anxious to see what will happen during the episode. After watching all the intriguing sneak peek and trailers I decided that it was worth it to put an hour aside that night and watch it. To be honest it wasn’t...

Youtube Singers

Not many songs seem catchy these days. Either its too repetitive in lyrics or the composition of the beats just isn't right. So I've decided that I'll list come songs that are sung by some famous Youtube singers. One singer: Jason Chen a.k.a, miniachilles, recently released his new single, Invisible. The song is really catchy for those R&B lovers, and the beat is very nice. His cover It Girl by Jason DeRulo is also a very good song. His twist on the lyrics is very soothing and romantic, along with Megan Nicole's voice is an absolute...

One of the statues represents when Real Estate doesn’t make money, another shows when they “live” together harmoniously, and the other one shows the economy when real estate is nonexistent....

Sushi Park

Ever wonder if there was a sushi restaurant that has 50% off sushi? LET THERE BE LIGHT!!!!!!!! There is a sushi restaurant in Saint Marks, East 7th street. This place sells a sushi roll or sushi combo for 50% off each. However there is a catch, you must spend at least $15 to get the 50% discount on sushi.

Confidence

Self-confidence is the kind of quality that many people lack due to the 7 billion people in the world. Knowing that there’s always someone better than you in something and there’s always someone more attractive looking than you, it’s depressing when you start to degrade yourself. This all goes back to idea of perfection. Everybody has flaws and everybody makes mistakes. That’s kinda cliché but it’s true. Everybody starts from somewhere. You see that body builder in the gym working out? He was once guns-free, if you know what I mean. That supermodel...

3 game winning streak

The girls basketball varsity team had three games this past week. One against Laguardia, one against George Washington and last against AP Randolph. All these game had one thing in common, we were down and by the last few minutes of the game, we start hitting out shots, better passes and win the game by just enough. The game against Lagaurdia was the most intense, starting off the first few minutes strong and starting to lose that touch. This game was intense and by the 4th quarter we were down but time was on our side. The crowd, the bench...

Girl's Basketball

We had a game today, 01/10/2013, against George Washington. It was a really... interesting game. The refs were surprisingly nice but mistakes were made. One of the girl's from the other team, very obviously pushed a player on our team to the floor. No call was made. And their excuse? "I didn't see anything." As a ref, their job is to watch the game closely and also to make sure the players on court are not doing anything "wrong". However, towards the end of the game, as one of our player was charging to the basket, the other team's player just...

School Schedules

I don’t know if it’s because I have more classes in a day than I did last year in 8th grade or if I just don’t have a very good memory. But for the life of me, I can’t remember my class schedule. So, I’ve decided to create a little list of things I can do to help myself remember. 1.       Keep Schedules Everywhere. -Have one in your locker so every day when you open it, it’s the first thing you look at. -Have one in all your folders/ binders so you can always know what’s next in each class. -Have one...
