Oh dear another lockdown 😣 - Lifestyle Monday

By -

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,

I feel like I've been making blog posts after blog posts after blog posts about lockdown for a long time now and I know I've probably mentioned the word lockdown quite a few times now but yes, the UK is entering another lockdown as of Thursday. 

I feel like every time I say we're in another lockdown, I just have to take a deep breath beforehand to compose my utter frustration at life right now. Honestly, although I'm getting used to this lockdown situation, I'm also getting kind of annoyed by all these quarantines and lockdowns. I just want to be able to move around freely and not have to constantly worry about my proximity to the people around me. I think it's also particularly annoying because 3 weeks ago, I had to enter a 2 week self isolation period because 2 people in my school had tested positive for Covid-19. I also nearly didn't end up going to school for the final week before half term because I had a stomach ache. I just want to live like I used to live but obviously, that's not the point at which things are at right now and it sucks to say the least.

But alas, at least I still get to go to college, probably with a couple more restrictions, but I still get to go to college. I know it's not the worst situation to deal with but I really did not like online school. I know it's a privilege to have such mediums to be able to continue our education on but I think I had reached a point where I knew that nothing could beat just physically going into school. I much preferred seeing my friends and talking to a teacher in person rather than on a microphone that didn't even work half the time.

However, we must acknowledge that these are testing times that will probably go down in the GCSE history books in the future. It's important to understand that during these times we will see people beginning to lose their nerve. Look at all the riots that have already been happening because of all the continued restrictions. However, in my opinion, just because times are tough it is still not a valid excuse for us to just drop everything and run. I'm still going to be applying for jobs, I'm still going to go on regular walks, and I'm still going to live my best possible life despite the difficulties because 1 month of lockdown is not a valid excuse to just give up.

I believe we're strong enough to get through this so we will get through this!

How we are so lead by the media- Writing Wednesday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, The media can be a persuasive and manipulating place where people get drawn into the big titles and unofficial political propaganda that people are scared to say, has an impact on them. The classic example of this is Donald Trump. I'm not saying that he's the most amazing person that has ever walked this earth, but I think people have begun to believe that because he has a weird hair cut or an incredibly stupid voice, that that makes him a worse person than he actually is. I was stuck around a month ago on what to write on the subject of gun crime in my English assessment. It seemed like an easy thing to write about at first but the more I thought about it, the more I realised that it was more difficult to write about than I  thought. Not because it was necessarily a particularly difficult topic to answer, it's actually a lot simpler than we think, but when we're indoctrinated by such a one-sided perspective on

Is trophy hunting an acceptable thing to do?- Writing Wednesday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, A couple weeks ago, I watched a documentary by Louis Theroux which was about trophy hunting in Africa. Louis Theroux is renowned for making documentaries on controversial topics. He is excellent at filming these documentaries without imposing too much of his own opinion on the subject. If you have time to watch this, I really recommend you do because some of the things I saw were shocking and I was stunned that people were not ashamed by their actions. This is what I'm going to talk about today but if you want to watch the documentary, I'll leave the link below. It's truly worth the watch. The first place that Louis visited was a house owned by hunters from Ohio. Unable to hunt anything considered to be interesting in their own country, they went to South Africa to hunt there. They hunt things from wild boar to zebras. One lady that they interviewed was cautious at first to do the hunting, but once she managed to ki

How to confidently talk to people and make new relations-Writing Wednesday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, We all had that time when we've tried to look preoccupied just so that we could skip talking to people. We frantically search for our earphones to pretend that we are listening to music even though our phone screen is off. Or, we frantically look for a book or the magazine that we bought down the shop, pick a random page and read it. I'm guilty of this and I know that many other people are too. But becoming a social butterfly does not have to be a scary thing. One of the benefits to talking to people is that it prepares you for what's to come in the future. You may need to network with people who share the same career path as you. More simply you may need to start getting to now your new community once you move out of the family home. There are lots of places where socializing is needed. So we've got to break down that barrier and become more interactive with people. And here's how: Find common ground
