Community’s in and out

So where I live there a plenty of community’s around here to take place and participate in. Ranging from social media, games, groups of people, and in school groups as well. So i’m going to do this in an orderly fashion and go down the little list I just made, lets start.

First of all there a plenty of social media sites here, well, obviously. Plenty of ways to meet new people and stay in contact with friends and family. But also, we have groups of people who gather to announce themselves and contribute to society via social media, why? Because that’s where everyone is, probably browsing memes or something. But the groups that I mentioned are either charity groups or schools or even other types of options. Social media is huge so really, no surprise here.

Now here’s a fun one and one close to heart, the community of gamers. Here, more people are playing games then I can count which a lot of you know how much of a gaming fanatic I am. There’s people playing mobile, PC, console, all over the place! I see people playing games like Minecraft, Pokemon go, anything they can grab off of steam, and pretty much any other multiplayer game or player interactive game out there. I see it school, at home, outside of my home. EVERYWHERE. It brings people together most of the time and overall is just a really fun experience.

Now this one is a very kind one, its groups of people. And I’m talking about people who willingly dedicate there time to help or assist others. I see charity groups, animal rescue, people who donate, everything! Though there are many, there are a few I can name. The first once is called DWG which stands for Dakar Women Group and I know this because, well, my moms in it and she plays an important role in it. What they do is that they host sales to raise money for charity, recently they hosted a Christmas market and raised over 8,000,000 CFA, or about 13,000 dollars, and all that went to charity, I really like the group its a good cause. They’ve been doing this for years and aren’t stopping anytime soon.

The next group I can name is called ARL which stands for Animal Rescue League. What they do is pretty simple, they find poor, abandoned, homeless, stray animals, nurture them back to health, and then put them up for adoption to go to a nice home with loving owners. Its really sweet and helps animals out a lot so good on them! Then there are just those random groups of people who donate food, water, supplies, etc. This stuff happens on and out of school and it really helps out a lot so, this is a good community.

Finally of course there’s the little community’s within schools, i’m going to use mine in this case, obviously. So there a plenty of people hosting after school activities like robotics, science, green team ( Help the earth type of activity ) soccer, basketball volleyball, etc. There a lot around here and its always nice to participate, its a lot of fun! Also the school raises money so, that’s also a huge plus.

So really there aren’t a shortage of community’s where I live and there a most likely plenty more to come. I suppose a pro to being in these community’s is that you can help or just have a good time, enjoy yourself and amuse yourself. A Kaan ( oops ), a con would be, depending on the community your in, well, it could either result in you not liking it or it might take too much work and effort for you to handle. Now personally I’m taking part in only two main community’s and those are the the social media and gaming community, no surprise there I’m all about those. It’s a lot of fun and I’m wondering exactly how far I can take it. Well, I guess it depends how I want it to be for myself and what I make of it. I’m having fun so far so hey, guess I might as well stay.

Anyways that’s enough from you, as usual, quick little question for you.

Whats your favorite community? drop you answer in the comments and I’ll be sure to check it out, until then, I’m gonna go do something legitimately pointless, as usual. cyaaaa! 😛

My average crippling depression ( jk ) filled day of school

So, apparently this week we’re doing school, alrighty then! So i’m just gonna talk about my average school day and what I do five busy days a week when I have to. I wake up at 7:20AM and start prepping for school. Just the usual like getting dressed, breakfast, packing, etc. At 8AM I leave my house ready for, the oncoming loveliness that is my school OH BOY. The first class of the day officially starts at 8:30 though so it gives you a few minutes do that final prep before the bell rings. I only have four classes per day, that’s it, just four. Seems innocent right? WRONG! SO VERY WRONG! Each class is 85 MINUTES. Yes, you heard me, an hour and twenty-five minutes EACH. So I have two of those to start the day and what classes I have vary on what day it is and how my schedule looks ( Its beyond confusing for new comers so good luck getting used to it. ) Then after those two 85 minute classes one of 3 things happen. We either have advisory on Thursdays which lasts from 11:20-11:55, or we have a community meeting on Monday which lasts the same time. Its basically where a specific school rank ( in my case high school ) get together go through announcements, awards, and in some cases games, they can be fun. OR, here’s the craziest one. The second class gets extend ended from 85 minutes to, get this, TWO HOURS aside from any other day then the two previously mentioned. So that could mean 2 hours of math, two hours of science, two hours of PE. Depending on the class it could either crush you or help you, its all luck. Then we have lunch where you can finally relax for a bit and regenerate what you can. Then we just have 2 85 minute classes to finish the day off dead tired.

So that’s my average school day, though iv’e only dented the iceberg on what goes on over here. It can be fun, it can be painful, it could absolutely destroy you or maybe, just maybe, help you. So that’s what I have to deal with on the classic 5 day school week, its not that bad when you get used to it, though until then, your gonna have to suffer with your brain slowly dying. In all seriousness though I’m happy i’m one of the many fortunate students who can afford school and learn new or old things.

So that wraps up my end, now I have a question for you dear reader, how long is your average class? Probably can’t top 85 MINUTES or TWO HOURS. Tell me in the comments below and until then, I’m gonna go do my homework, wish me luck, Actually you don’t have too cause I just finished! HA! cya!

3 amazing blogs with amazing facts!

So recently anyone participating in this challenge must’ve seen that we had to check out some more blogs for the interest of the challenge. I ended going down the list and I found 3 blogs that I thought were really amazing! I’m gonna say why I choose them, why I liked them, and leave a link to their blogs when I’m done, because, well, I’m nice like that ;D

So the first blog I checked was the blog of a dude named Tyler. I found interest in his post because it talked about a subject I recently posted, which was survival. He had a small list of very important tools to bring in the case of the worst and I took interest in it! Good job dude, hope you survive.

The next blog I checked out was one that was owned by someone who goes by,Karah. I was interested in this persons blog because they had written a very nice poem about the night sky and I thought it was very nice and I did very much enjoy reading it. I chose it because I myself am a an of space and the night sky. So that’s why I enjoyed Karahs post, good job! 😀

And the final post that I read was written by someone named Matt. His blog is about delicious foods and how to make them. The one that caught my eye was one about making perfect pork chops. I mean I can’t lie I’m a lover of food myself, i’m not about to turn down a quality recipe. Good job Matt! Good luck finding more recipes to make!

So yeah, those are the blogs I found and thought were interesting. Props to the creators for doing such a great job! Hope to see you all soon!

Oh and here are their blogs, or at least the links to the ones I posted.

Video Games

Video games. What did they do for most of us? From games as simple as pong, to games like Zelda breath of the wild. Or consoles, like the N64, all the way to the Nintendo Switch. Gaming, revolutionized home entertainment tenfold! But was it for the better? Well yeah duh! XD. I’m not gonna lie, I am a huge fan of playing video games and I do really like them, I find them to be a fun part of my daily day life, and night life, and other things. But a problem with video games are this. They can be very addicting. Now of all people I know this very well. I once accidentally played Halo for 7 hours straight with my friends, I enjoyed it but, not really much of a good idea.  They can be entertaining and can trap you for hours in their grasp of mindless entertainment.

So I’m here to give you some advice so your mother doesn’t yell at you for playing 9 hours of minecraft. Try and limit your time to do other things, reading, work, hanging out with friends outside, going outside, anything else. I dunno what you people enjoy but I’m sure its totally fine.Gaming is a privilege and should not be abused even though its actually pretty fun. But don’t get locked on a screen all day, do other things, enjoy life, and have fun.

Now if you’ll excuse me I’m gonna go rek some n00bs MLG style.

 

What to pack for the apocolypse

Hello there fellow human who is barley grasping onto the will to live!

Well, for now, that barley might turn into a  top priority.

Ever wonder what would happen if the un-dead were to suddenly take over the earth? Would you even be prepared, are you prepared? Well, i’m here to make sure you don’t turn into a fresh walking piece of meat to these cannibalistic predators.

 

Weapons and tools

Some good tools to bring into the wastelands would be one or more of the following:

Baseball Bat ( Metal most effective ), High quality Swiss army knife, flashlight, flare gun, batteries, water purifier, and or a radio.

Having one or more of said items could easily protect you and help you greatly.

 

Food and water

Best food to eat would probably be soup, granola bars, certain fruits, and the top of the line, bread and potatoes. Find even those two and your set. For water, a river high in the mountains or your own fluids would be good, don’t forget to use the purifier if you have one.

 

Those are just some of the basics, if you find anything else helpful then please try and secure yourself. Now then, I have a question for you, leave your answer in the comments and tell me what you think, good luck, and don’t die.

 

Is having a shelter better? Or is being a nomad wasteland runner better?
