Aidan's Peace

Welp, it’s the end of my sophomore year already, with also ending my year in Photography class as a whole. This year, to be honest, was mixed in all kind of ways. The reason for this is that I have a pretty not so good case of memory loss, so at a point I can’t exactly sit here and type up what I thought of this year or what the projects felt to me, because I just don’t know, and I’m going to be honest in that. I will say, however, that I felt more motivated this year than last year.

Motivation is a big thing, especially for me, as i do feel like I’ve grown as a photography. Even if I don’t remember much, I know in my heart that I’ve done better. I look at my One Drive, I see all the projects turned in and photos inside of them, and that lets me know that I’ve done what I could this year. That wasn’t the case last time, I was slacking off, acting like nothing matter. This time around, I did something, I managed to turn in most of my work, take most of my photos that I needed to. And, for that, I’m proud and myself and have seen I’ve grown as a photography and a person in general.

Choosing favorites is hard, but if I had to i would say all the times I was shooting with actual cameras. In my opinion, two of my best work had come out of that. You feel some sort of strange accomplishment when doing photography with a camera rather than just phone, makes you feel more proud in a way. My best works would have had to be my flower drawing in light painting and my picture with the water balloon.

Blind photography was our final project for the year and is one some may not be so familiar with, but it’s as the name states, being blind. now everyone’s first thought might be “Well, that’s impossible. High school students just learning now? Shooting blind?” In reality, however, it’s not. Thanks to the help of settings with taking photographs nowadays, doing blind photography is more possible than it might have been back then. Anyhow, for this project, we had to put on blindfolds and try to get the best shots we could; they just had to be clear. That was just part one, however.

Just to note, this is my best image of Blind Photography, in general. I didn’t actually get to do much of it, because, sadly, I broke my arm during the time of this project. So, the first lab is all I was able to accomplish, and this was the best one. For this picture, I used my sense of hearing. The sound of the grass they were walking on each step, the sounds of their voices, that all told me where they were at that exact moment of time.

Part two was long exposure and light painting. When thinking of light painting, it might seem like you’re taking a picture or developing a picture through your own sense of actual painting. But, no, this is quite different. Light painting is drawing your image with actual lights. Doesn’t matter what lights, could be flashlights, glow sticks, anything could be used to draw any shape or object you want. Not only that, but you can use light painting to outline across other people as well. For this second half of the project, I was assigned to grab a light, stand in front of my camera and just draw a simple object or letter. The object that i chose was a white flower; representing my favorite piece of symbolism.

I’m going to be honest once more, light painting was a pain. Long exposure was a pain. It is not easy to get the hang of. There were a lot of issues and challenges that I was facing and had to get through, things such as the lights being too thin so it wouldn’t draw what I wanted, or the lights being too thick so it would be too big to fit across the screen. Another was the angle the camera was at. There was always something with this that goes wrong. This is probably the most photos I’ve ever taken for a project hands down, besides from my final for 1st semester. The only way I came across and countered these challenges and problems though is being calm and collective. Without that, I would’ve just given in and gave up.

One out of two, my longer exposure image. With longer exposure, I knew I had be be backed away from the camera, showing myself, while also trying to draw something at the same time. I used myself, my arms to create this photo. I tried to make it look like I was holding an umbrella, as keen to the color blue, but to also showcase the contrast to blue, red. Because when there’s sadness, there’s also a way to anger. I wanted to show overcoming that anger. Now with the whole trippy side of it all, I just added that for an extra effect, it was put in by photoshop.

Two out of two, my light painting image. Man, was this tough to do. This legit took over 50 tries. With this photo, I simply took a flashlight, in the way of using a white light, because I needed white to show what it’s really representing. I used that and stood back, propped my camera up the right way and shot. And, that’s all. Very simple, but difficult at the same time. I also added a red light at the bottom to put a tiny mushroom like plant there to showcase that the flower isn’t the only thing living here.

This is the end of this blog, and the end of my journey in photography class. It was fun while it lasted, I enjoyed most of my time in here, way more interesting than all the other classes I was taking at the time. All the projects that I have done during this entire year have been completed to the fullest, have had all different kinds of experiences to them that can never be replaced no matter hard I try, and I suppose that’s it. Bye, to this class.

Before I put forward both of my shots for this project, I first want to talk about what #Bookface is, for everyone reading this can get a better understanding. #Bookface, in internet terms, a pretty old trend when it comes to the likes of photography. I would also say that this trend is for beginners, as it honestly, does not take zero to any skill. Sure, there’s things like positioning, lighting, even to the way you hold the book. At the end of the day, though, anybody, and I mean anybody can do this. To be more precise, I feel like it’s just a fun little trend, in general. People comparing their faces or other body parts to objects or people on the cover of books. The reason I say this, is because it ventures others off into being quite creative when it comes to angles, per-say. Now I’m just rambling on, so to sum it all up in a quick sentence, #Bookface is where you hold the book cover close up to the camera and convey your body parts to parts of the cover.

I wouldn’t say this project was difficult, just more time consuming, and tends to be annoying when you have to pick the same outfit as the characters on the cover. It wasn’t exactly hard for me to find my outfits, but they weren’t exactly all that comfortable (people in books or films where weird clothes). This wouldn’t, of course, be an issue if I wasn’t taking a WHOLE 50 takes. While I’m talking about issues, I should also say that it is extremely challenging to find someone that has blonde hair as a guy on book covers. I mean is no one blonde anymore, is that not normal? So, that means I had to go the lowest to the low with manga. And, honestly, that saved me. Even though I put off taking pictures till the last second, I still at least finally had the books to take them with. To end this off, both of my pictures were taken eventually after a ton of posing and moving, but, hey, I’m just fine now, as I got it done.

Now that I’m completely finished with my long paragraphs, my photos will be posted below this text: (I will also be explaining each of them below the photo themselves.)

Got to admit, looking back at this now, this is the worst of the two. Love the lighting I did, but I don’t quite match the pose the character did in the book. Now, let’s get into how I took this photo. So, like I said in like the second paragraph, I had to match my clothes to what the character on the cover is wearing. Honestly, I think I did pretty well with how I did. Put on a black jean jacket, as the character has on a jean jacket, but then, I put on a plain white shirt underneath. After that, I stood in front of my camera, held the book close up to it, tried to do the poses, and shot. Last thing to mention, I used a Tri-pod, obviously, for I didn’t have to hold my phone.

I’m not gonna lie, this one took the longest, and is my favorite of the two. I knew I wanted to take a black and white photo, and hey, guess I picked the perfect book, eh? A dark, gloomy guy looking into the cover, knew I had the chance. Anyways, to getting into what I did to take this picture. At first, I tried to mimic the bandages that the character had on him by exposing my shoulder and putting toilet paper on the exposed parts. (I don’t have bandages, so that was the closest thing.) That ended up not working out, sadly, as the toilet paper was just falling off after every time I pressed the button on my camera or raised up my arm. So, when I saw a blind spot in the way, I used that so that I didn’t have to use such methods. Of course, I did the same thing I did with the last image, posed, put the book cover right up close to the camera, and BOOM! (I’m having way too much fun with typing.)

To conclude, this got annoying after re-taking photos about 50 times each. It actually took me like 3 hours, or so… 🙂

Over the past week or so, I’ve had the assignment of going around and snapping pictures of all the letters in the ABC’S. Of course, it’s not just about taking a photo of the letter itself in full form, but making the letter out of different objects, which actually makes this project more unique in a way; letting it have tons of skill involved.

I am most definitely ashamed to say that it took me quite awhile to do this project. Thought this would be a quick and easy process, but it ended up becoming more and more difficult overtime. I have a lot of time management issues, which comes from being a writer, meaning I wasn’t as focused on the project as I should have been. By the end, however, I got everything done. The word document was delightfully easy, as it’s just documenting on what letters you have, or pretty much going back to it and updating once you have a new letter that you have captured. The letters, while insanely hard to infer with, it all went smoothly; at least to my knowledge.

Concerning the other two parts of the project, which are the complete alphabet list photo, and my word, I will explain both below.

I’m going to be honest, nothing much to explain with the alphabet list picture, as it’s just bashing all the pictures I ended up taking into one background, but of course, in the alphabet order. Some of the letters ended up coming out good, while others didn’t really set my appeal, but hey, might settle better with anyone else. Maybe, I’m just a bit picky.

Next up is my word, which is “Rosie”. The reason why I chose Rosie as my word for this project is because that name holds a special place in heart, and always will. I won’t go into much detail, though, since that is extremely personal, but it just feels pure, in a way. As for the pictures assigned with this word, I think they all came out well enough, besides from the E, in my opinion. And, even though the lowercase “R” aches me, I think it fits kind of.

Summing up 2023

Years. Weird as they are, each can be just completely horrible or amazingly incredible for some. People think they move by fast, but in reality, do they? I felt as I have found myself more than ever in the year of 2023. How can such a short year make that possible? To be honest, writing is my only skill pretty much, at least, that’s what I thought. I believed that I could only possess one single thing, just one. I let myself down so many times just because of that self-doubt. Taking photography this year made me realize that I may be a little good at something completely different. That may, of course, stem from my mother, who does do historical photography for a living. In retrospect, I learned that I can do other things that are not just writing; that I’m something more.

For photography this year, we did a whole span of projects. Some, of course, on Edu blog, but also ones where we printed out our photos and talked about them to the entire class. One of the first “projects” we did was where we went around the school, took photos of elements. This then turned into us putting each of our photos into a folder, soon letting people judge us; basically telling us what we can do better. The other one I’m going to discuss is the final project, which was when we printed out the 4 finals we took, went up in front of the class, and told them what each picture we took represented, and what it meant to us. I went the route with the last one of expressing a whole bunch of different topics going around in the world today, and honestly, it was a lot of fun.

This is my favorite picture that I took this year. This was one I had as one of my finals, but the unedited version, without text and all that. Why this one is my favorite, is because of the fact that it actually looks like a self-portrait. By which I mean, looks more professional. Not only that, but I also think my facial expression quite fits the photo a lot, bringing out the more darker side of myself. Another thing is the contrast between black, white, and red. The outfit I wore was fully black, but with a red and white tie, and of course my white hair fits in with that as well, with the background of the photo being red, and not to mention, the book. Everything just fits very well with each other, complimenting each and every texture, as such.

What the Year 2024 Looks Like for Me

Most, I assume, know who they are. Figured out what they wanted to do, inquired what personality they have, and on top of that, able to remember things. I don’t. The only thing I really know is that I’m some arrogant writer that thinks he’s above all else. Like I mentioned at the top, in 2023, I did figure out that I can have other talents, but I want to realize more of them this year. I don’t want to keep thinking that all I can do is write, I want to know that I can have any back-up plan in case everything fails for me. I need something to fall back on. It’s not only that, however, I need to know who I am as a person, as well. My bad memory certainly doesn’t help with such things, not remembering really messes a person up on gaining knowledge of who they are. Of course, there’s texts, past ones that can say a few things, but what if they’re not good ones? If they’re bad, then how do I find the morally correct side of myself? Is it alright to bring myself back up to righteous standards in today’s time? Those are the kinds of things I want answered in the upcoming year.

Not only what I have mentioned before, but I have much more other goals that I must accomplish during 2024. For now, I’ll start with the short-term goals, the not very important ones, as in, I can complete these in the matter of days, weeks, or even months. I’m not really the type of guy that goes for “goals” or even “self-improvement”, but I feel as this year, I have to. That being said, the first goal is just basic training, working out more. The reason why this is in the short-term goal section is because I can do this anytime, and for right now, I don’t have to worry about it too much, as I do have school to finish up. Can’t be training everyday now, haha. Later on, of course, it’ll most likely be a long-term thing of mine, but for right now I just need to be training in the span of a few months. Secondly, I would say completing more of my work. Usually, most of the time, I block any kind of assignments off, as I like to only really focus on my creative literature. This year, moreover, I want to get better grades. Maybe others would find me as not so stupid if I do. Lastly, just eating healthier. Since, I’ll be going back to Raider practice this year, I definitely need to stop consuming much sweets and more protein and healthier foods, in general.

Long-term goals, a work of dedication, as I like to say. Indeed, an important skill we must all learn, because if we’re never committed to anything, doubt any of us would do very good in life. My only long-term goal is having the right amount of eyes on my writing, as for the past years, I haven’t been able to focus much on it. School, depression, or even basic issues that people face day-to-day, has taken me away from what I want to actually do. I’m supposed to be working hours on end, developing a story, but now I’m sitting here doing anything except that. To sit down and be able to grab a pencil and write for hours takes a lot of hard work, best to start when you’re young. Having an idea of what you want to write about, discuss about, the type of message you want to send to readers. In order to figure all that out for myself, I’ll make one of my long-term goals dedicating myself to the fullest. Like I said before, it’s great exercise, as well as a skill.

Lastly, which I should have talked about before my revolutions was how I can become a better photographer than I am now. Believed I said this at the beginning, but I’m not the best, all I know is the basics. I’m not very talented when it comes to editing, especially cropping things out of my photos, for example. Realization that I’ve discovered, however, is that I can get good angles, good lighting, and basically capture what exactly the image is supposed to portray. To elaborate, I could use the higher quality skills of mine and create hard work with the tactics that I’m not all the way excellent at. Knowing well enough knowledge of the subject can help higher up the level I could be at.

Self-expression can be hard to pin down, I mean there’s no real definition of what it is per-say. But for most, it goes like, self-expression is a way people like to portray themselves as, and that can be through many, many ways. It can be with music, sports, or even just the way they act in general. It’s how the person wants people to see them; it’s how they also want to view themselves as.

Throughout a basic reality; a some-what okay one, we need self-expression. Like it’s not even a thing people can’t decide to not have, because it’s needed. People need to show emotions, they need to feel something, otherwise, then we might have one broken world; an entire assassination of the souls of the human-race (metaphorically, not literally; obviously). Which, now goes into what would happen if self-expression ever disappeared; if nobody showed any emotion.

Short end of it, that would mean everyone might as well be robots at that point, because nothing will ever have passion in it. Those movies you so love, that you go watch, that you support the directors and writers for, will never even feel the same, nor probably even exist. The only reason why we have things made like movies, books, or even basic inventions is because people express themselves in a certain way. Writers don’t just write with the intent to be boring, they write a story because they’re passionate in that certain written work; they are interesting in exploring that certain genre. That’s what some don’t get to this day, that writers, actual real people, put their love and respect into the words they write on that white sheet of paper. They spend day by day putting their soul into that work. People inventing, making objects, once again, put their heart and soul into creating that project of theirs’s. Things get made with the intent to please them and others, no matter who brought up the idea. At the end of the day, someone came up with it, someone told the other to create their thoughts. And what are thoughts? A form of self-expression. Which to also bring up, is a theory in psychology; that self-expression is something in the mind, telling oneself what they like. Making them know what comforts them, which outfit best fits them, to even thinking about how they want others to see them. So, in the end, yes, without self-expression existing, nothing creative would be created. We probably wouldn’t even have houses right now; basic supplies.

Before I get into how I personally express myself, however, I think it’s good to mention how self-expression can sometimes be bad. Not always does it have positives. Sometimes people use this term to justify why they do certain activities that may end them up in trouble. Protests are often examples of this kind of self-expression. During protest, some people get so hyped up that they may start to destroy things, cause extreme damage. And, a lot of the time no one gets pinned for the crime because it’s a “protest”. In cases though for non-serious protests, people do get in a lot of trouble, but for some of those big ones, not as much. A lot of people get excused, most likely because they are threatened to be sued. What exactly does this have to do with self-expression though? It’s the way these people act, this is how they choose to express themselves. They think it’s okay, and it’s not.

When it comes down to me, I self-express in so many different ways. I feel like the way I move, dress, and talk says a lot about me. As with moving and talking, you can really see how I’m feeling that day, it goes a long way. For example, if I’m feeling sad or tired, my voice would get really low, my head would be down, and I would be really rude to people; not even wanting to talk to them. With dressing, it shows what I like, in terms of style. I dress often in button-ups, some 70s, 80s, and 90s clothes. And that’s my style, it’s unique to me. It’s how I want to dress, and I think it really says a lot about me as well.

One other way that I use to express myself, and I would assume others use to also express themselves, is facial expressions. As an example, below is a collage of some facial expressions I use to express myself.

One thing I hadn’t mentioned was music. Everyone has a type of genre of music they like; everyone. And, if you’re not a music person… I generally don’t know what to say to you; your absolute loss. Anyways, getting off topic there. The song that best expresses me is Don’t Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult.

The reasons why this song expresses me the most is because, I have a lot of challenges in life; like a lot, that I, myself, had to get past. They were extremely difficult, but I had to remember to not fear everything. This is basically my song that I listen to calm myself down, to know that everything’s alright.

The part of the song that is most important to me is the first part when he sings, “Don’t fear the reaper. Baby, take my hand, don’t fear the reaper. We’ll be able to fly, don’t fear the reaper.”

“If there’s one theme in all my work, it’s about authenticity and self-expression. It’s the idea that some things are, in some real sense, really you—or express what you and others aren’t.” – Bernard Williams

In this post, I want to discuss the different types of file formats. File formats are what you normally save or upload your photos on. For example when you go to download a photo, let’s say on Pinterest, when you download the photo it’ll pop up as one of these file formats. Or when you’re creating a blog on here and you’re designing your page, there might have been an issue with uploading the photos that you downloaded, as if I’m not wrong, Edublog wants JPEG files. The reason for this is because certain apps only have a certain amount of space and allow one of the specific formats. Now that the explanation is out the way, let’s get into the types of file formats.

To start off, we have JPEG, or I suppose the full phrase would be “Joint Photographic Experts Group”. It’s probably the best known file format out of the bunch, to a point where JPEG is actually the format most phones have set to default, meaning it automatically puts this file format on top of any other one.

Next, there’s HEIF, or “High Efficiently Image Format”. HEIF is by far the newest file format being discussed today, as it was first developed back in 2015. HEIF is far less known as JPEG is, meaning that it often gets forgotten, which makes it a pretty poor way to share images to your friends or family.

After that, there’s TIFF, or “Tagged Image File Format”. Like JPEG, TIFF is also often used a lot in the photography industry, this also means that TIFF can very easily be transferred in JPEGs. TIFF though, are much bigger formats, which means that they may take up a lot of space on your computer.

Right below TIFF, there’s RAW. Most cameras these days give the often to shoot in RAW, as some photos need it. Like the previous one, TIFF, RAW also takes up a significant amount of space, as it’s a very large format. What makes RAW a bit different from the other formats discussed is that it can not be displayed on browsers or computer desktops. The way to actually view RAW is to use special programs. One of these programs are “Lightroom”.

The DNG, or Digital Negative is something that was created to actually use RAW on all cameras and manufacturers. One of the main struggles with RAW files is that you may lose them in the future, but DNG helps with this issue, as it transfers the RAW files in a program, that way you can always visit them in the future when you may end up needing them, so this is by far one of the most important formats out there.

Next, which was designed in the 90s’ to help improve the earlier GIF format, is the PNG format. Unlike a few others on this list, PNG files are much smaller and don’t take up a lot of space, which can be good for when you want to watch how much you want to upload at a certain time. PNGs are usually compressed in something called a lossless format, which makes sure the PNG retains all details for further or later viewing and editing.

Mentioned as the downgrade and the much older version of PNG, GIF is a file format just like PNG, as both obviously have lossless formats, which means the image and file is retained of all its before quality. The only issue with GIF is that it only contains a maximum of 256 colors, so it’s not really the best for uploading photos to but it’s more for images with a smaller color palette.

Second to last, we have BMP, which like the other two is a lossless format. BMP was created by Microsoft for mostly the use of the Windows platform, but today, it’s now used for Mac programs as well. BMPs are often more on the larger size as for colors, it goes for getting every little pixel saved without compression, meaning this kind of format can be good for printing, but not so less sharing photos with your friends and family over the internet.

Lastly, we have PSD, a format that is used most frequently for Adobe Photograph to save data. The major advantage with PSDs is that it allows you to save and stack layers onto the one photo you did have, meaning it’s not just saving the first photo, but multiple layers of it as well. These layers can of course be added or removed at any time, which does not affect the original photo whatsoever. Another, and the last plus there is, is that you can save any photo, and you can always go back to it later at any time you want.

That’s it for the file formats. Of course, I don’t all the information on the formats, but I hope I gave a much clearer understanding on them as possible.

No one could have seen it coming, the tragic event that occurred on September 11, 2001. As I was not exactly born before this time, I’d not experienced this event full on, but I will say the information and the videos, photos that have been put out does put me into straight up shivers, the kind you get from one of those scary movies. With movies though, it’s different, you know nothing is real, you know that it will never really happen, but this situation was different. This was real. This wasn’t just some thing that happened that can just be magically fixed by the end of the incident, this was a event that scared many, lost the lives of many. And even if the towers someday get fixed, it won’t ever take back the deaths that occurred on that day, it won’t ever take away the pain of the families who had lost someone that day. Nothing can be fixed, that’s why, to this day, no matter who it is, it will affect how they feel in some way. It will still terrify them. No matter if they make jokes about it, or try to brush it off, it will still hit them in some way. In the end, what happened was a tragic incident, and I want to share my views of how people may have felt on the day, and how it may affect a person afterwards.

God, what the kids must have been going through on that day. Imagine being in school, then there it goes, everything goes down. Teachers flood out the classrooms, parents start checking everybody out of school, while the child is scared, not knowing what the is going on. Young people often have this feeling of panic when others are panicking, they can’t take it, so imagine that on that day, the day full of insane crap going on all at once. And the fear to this day, the trauma they must have now as adults, wondering, worrying about the next time another disaster like this may occur. Especially, even more since they were just kids then, that trauma will always stick with them, that constant fear always in the back of their minds.

Now to the adults, who differ from how the children felt as they were actually a part of the panic. Unlike children, the adults had this situation more handled, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t effect them just as much. Usually, on most days, though they are hard, they’ve always been the same so everybody knew what to do, they knew how to do their job. On this day though, this horrific day, everything was out of order. Nobody knew what to do, nobody knew what was happening; everything was just all over the place. Adults often complain about how hard their job is or how rough their day had been, so imagine on this day how they felt. Being rushed, rushed to do something they were confused about, something they barley knew how to handle. This especially goes with the normal people, the people who were never prepared to do anything of this kind, how to deal with such attacks as this. The panic, the need to protect either their students or protect others. Or, maybe the one’s that were actually by the twin towers when they were knocked down. Those adults must have felt so scared, and had more a sense of confusion. They had a choice. To save themselves, or try to save everyone else.

At first glance these people look like they can handle this kind of situation, but in reality, no they didn’t have it completely handled. I’m talking about the people that had to really try to save everyone. Meaning paramedics, police, firefighters, and maybe even swat teams. They all had a responsibility, to help others, to put their lives on the line. From the videos released and the images, even the news articles, it seemed like it was a very hard job to do; they must have felt so terrified, but they had to pursue. But, there were also alternative paths that could’ve happen, in the back of their mind, as if they don’t save someone or don’t get there in time. And if those horrible ending do or did happen, the guilt they would feel after that, the shame they would feel after not saving one person. That kind of guilt would always stick with a person, no matter if they are trained to do this stuff or not.

Now that I have went through what others from different age or job type groups might have felt during and after the incident of 9/11, I also want to show photos of the tragic event, to give a bigger idea of what went down. Fair warning though, the images may be disturbing to those viewing this post.

To be honest, I’m not even sure how they took these photos, I mean in a time like that. Disgusting behavior, in my opinion. Taking pictures of me falling from a building, of an explosion, what is wrong with some people? I can rant about this all day, but I should stop. Anyways, the photos below show a bit of what had occurred. First, the explosion at the twin towers, what started it all, with next, images of people having to jump out of the windows in the building. These photos, at least for me, are extremely hard to look at. Just imagining the pain others would have had to go through during this day, the choices everyone had to make. Makes me sick.

That’s it for now though. Remember everything said in this post is what I though some have felt that day, it’s not factional, obviously. (This was also done in a bit of a rush though, so I’m also very much sorry if anything is said wrong.)

To start off, welcome to my page, hope you enjoy what I end up posting on here. My name is Aidan Gorsch, a 16 year old that likes to write and take photos. Writing way more up my alley though in things that generally catches the eye the most, as it’s extremely easy to do. Thoughts just come and go in my mind and I write them down, so on here, I will speaking a lot of my own opinions on what I like or don’t like about the certain photo that I’m taking. Mostly just giving my insight on the specific topic at hand. I will also be writing a lot, and I mean a lot, so there will be too much to read on each photo; so that’s just a heads up on what to expect from all my posts.

That’s all for my interests though that come with the topic of the blog, so I guess now is the introduction for my basic likes and dislikes. My favorite color is white; I find it to be a beautiful color all around. There isn’t a single thing that looks bad with the color white, it’s just the perfect color in every way. I personally dislike orange, I don’t think it works well with most things, especially with some photos. Completely will be a no for me. When it comes to meals, my favorite would honestly have to be tacos. You can’t possibly make them wrong, unless you forget to cook most of it. Like I said before, I like to write, so when I grow up I would love to become a writer. What I mean by that is start writing books. If I were to go do Karaoke, I would sing Don’t Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult, because it’s just an all-time favorite of mine. Although, it is about a 6 minute song, so maybe not since I’ll have to stay up there for a while. Don’t think I could stand in front of a crowd or friends with singing for that long. If I were a superhero, I would honestly want to have teleportation powers, because then I wouldn’t have to pay for travel expenses like gas or maybe a plane ticket. I swear, plane tickets are getting way too expensive over in America, so if I could teleport that could save me a lot of money. For it to be a perfect Saturday night, I would need to be sitting down at my desk either on the game or writing without any distractions. I like to be alone most of the time, as it helps me focus more on what I want to do. So I were to be completely alone, just sitting there, no interruptions, that would be the perfect Saturday night for me. Now for me, I have two cats, both very lovely, but if I had a wild animal as a pet, it would have to be a white tiger. As said above, I love the color white and I like the way tigers look, so if I had a white tiger that would be just amazing; even though it’ll probably eat me the next day. If I had the chance to travel anywhere in the world, it would have to be either to Paris or Japan. Both places look so beautiful and just unique. Especially with Japan, which I will be traveling to right after graduation; everything there is really cheap, even most apartments. So, since I won’t have a lot of money when I graduate, it’ll be the perfect place to travel to first. Lastly, if I could travel back in time, I would go to any time in the 90s. Every movie I’ve seen that came out in the 90s is pretty much a classic, so I would love to see those movies for the first time in theaters. Also, I would like to see how the schools look back then. That’s pretty much it for my likes and dislikes or what would I do in this certain situation.
