Sarah Beinner - Week 5 - Was I wrong in thinking that water is an inconvenience?

    I personally used to think that water was very inconvenient. One reason that I thought this was because it was so heavy and there was no good way to keep it with you. My backpack is heavy enough as it is without the extra weight of a water bottle. The other option is to hold it as you walk around, but this isn't a great alternative because doing this creates another thing for you to not lose, and putting an air tag on your water bottle feels excessive.
    In class, people will have giant bottles of water sitting on their desks, which takes up so much space. Plus, if you happen to be short and have a tall water bottle, you then have to move your head around the cup in order to see the person speaking or writing at the front of the room. 
    Also, who needs that much water? Ten cups is a suggestion, not a set rule, and wouldn't you feel so lethargic by the third cup? 
    I also don't understand the people who say they like water. What is there to like? It has no taste, and if it does, then you probably shouldn't be consuming it. 
    Although I have and still do find water to be inconvenient, it is still very important. Dehydration is a serious problem that you don't want to have. Dehydration can lead to heat stroke, kidney problems, seizures, and low blood volume (all of which can be fatal if extreme).  
    As someone who is unable to donate blood because of my slightly low blood volume, getting a blood test is very terrifying. Two weeks ago, I had to get a blood test, and it was horrible. I ran out of blood in my left arm, and it wasn't replenishing fast enough, so they had to use my other arm. It was very scary, especially because I don't remember a lot of what happened. Therefore, my mom had to tell me what happened afterward, and I was apparently on the verge of passing out for most of the blood tests. 
    This is all just to say, that water is not inconvenient enough for you to not drink it because it is very crucial even if it gets in your way occasionally.


Have you ever in your life thought that water was inconvenient? If so, do you think that you were wrong?

    This is an interesting blog. I personally have never thought that water was inconvenient. Water is a beneficial item to carry in your backpack every day. To focus and give your best effort, you must have water with you. I enjoyed hearing this opinion; I've never heard it before.

Sarah - Week 4 - Florida whether is not a great as people say it is.

      Many people say that Florida's weather is great because it is sunny, happy, and never cold. However, in my opinion, there is such a thing as too much sun. I don't understand how anyone could enjoy the pain your eyes feel going from a neutral room to the bright outdoors. Sun also isn't necessarily good for you. Its main health benefits are that it can boost your mood and provide you with vitamin D. However, its negative health effects include damage to your skin, eyes, and immune system. Excessive skin damage from the sun can even cause skin cancer.     Another reason why I don't like Florida's weather is because it only has two seasons. It is either hurricane season, or it is extra hot. Plus, you don't get to experience the beautiful colors of the trees changing in fall or the gorgeous scenery of a white winter. A few Floridians have never even seen snow before. This is crazy to me since playing in the snow with my brothers was one of my favorite thi...

Leah Mousseri - Week 2 - A Book in a Game?!

Image
      In the 21st century, there's a game for everyone. From shooting games to simple farming simulators it's almost impossible to not find a video game that interests you. One category of video games that I think is disliked by many for the wrong reasons is visual novel games. These games largely consist of dialogue and are often slow-paced and more relaxing compared to other genres. Visual novel games focus more on the story and characters rather than things like puzzles or combat.       The most common argument that I've heard against these games is that they're the same as a regular visual novel and have little to no actual gameplay in them. From my personal experience playing games in this genre, this is true for many visual novel games. I have played games that almost entirely consist of dialogue with a few choices that determine which ending you get. In my opinion, these games aren't very entertaining unless the story is well-written and compell...

Zander 5: Why Do We Care About Remakes?

Image
  A pattern I’ve begun to notice recently is that many of the most popular video games and movies often tend to be remakes of old pieces of media. While the most obvious examples of this would be the remakes of old Disney movies that have been released over the past several years, there are many more examples of this. For example, one of the most popular games this year was the remake of Resident Evil 4, and one of the most anticipated upcoming releases is the remake of Persona 3. So why is this, and what is the interest of playing a game you’ve already played, or watching a movie you’ve already seen? Well, firstly, there’s the appeal to those who never played or watched the previous piece of media. The appeal to this group is obvious, as to them, it’s new content. Even if one already knows the plot and twists of a story, experiencing it first hand can still be entertaining. Even if  you’re already familiar with a piece of media, viewing or playing it’s remake doesn’t complete...
