Entry #10. Squid Game.

 Okay by now I think we have all heard of or know what the Netflix show Squid Game  is. I think we can all agree that it is one of the best and most popular shows out there today. With that being said, if you haven't seen this show yet, it is definitely a must! Right from the start it is interesting and all throughout the show, even though it is only 9 episodes long, it has the perfect amount of action, suspense, and even a bit of emotional appeal. In fact, along with Gilmore Girls and The Fosters , this show is one of my favorites! To start off, the show begins with telling a bit of the background of a poor young man and his struggles. After showing this, it gets a little interesting. While in the subway late at night Gi-hun, one of the main characters, is approached by a mysterious stranger. This stranger is dressed up nicely wearing a suit and tie and holds a suitcase. The stranger asks Gi-hun if he would like to earn a bit of money by playing a simple game, and of course he is

Entry #9. Topics in Food Quest.

 In today's world pretty much everybody knows what fast food is. Although most people enjoy fast food, it does cause many problems in the world today. In this image regarding fast food, it illustrates quite simply one of the issues that fast food causes. Here take a look:  Eating Fast Food Issues Cartoon . By looking at this image we can plainly see a family eating dinner together, except this dinner is not a traditional kind of family dinner. In the cartoon, by looking at the background and details of the drawing, we can also see that the family is in some sort of restaurant. Due to the packaging of the food, as in the fries, we can safely assume that the family is in a fast food restaurant. Overall, the caption of the cartoon is what brings the real issue to light. In the caption, it states that what they are eating is "Sunday lunch", due to this saying it is meant to have the meaning that having fast food regularly for lunch is normal in today's world. However, tra

Entry #8. Free Time.

 In today's world, many of us (all of us) know what Covid-19/the Coronavirus is. We have all, in the biggest or slightest way, have been impacted by it. The truth is, although I knew that it was very real, I personally never thought that I'd be affected by it so much until my family got sick with it (don't worry they are okay!). But now since my family members have it, you know what that means, I have to isolate myself in order to stay safe and healthy. Due to this, I have to stay in my room 99% of the time alone so that means lot's of... you guessed it... free time. But just because I have this "alone time" it doesn't mean that it has to be boring; and of course we can't forget to keep our minds healthy and strong (because it can get lonely). If you are ever in this situation, or are at this moment, and you don't know of any ways on how to stay entertained, I'll help you! I've had time to think of plenty of ways to keep myself busy, so her

Entry #7. Fresh.

  All my life I've never really questioned the food that I've eaten or even thought about where it came from or how it was made. I mean have any of us really? It wasn't until after watching the film "Fresh" that I began to be curious about my food. It definitely left me surprised! The film shows the good and the bad aspects of the food industry, and it also provides information of the food that we consume and buy, how it was made, where it comes from, and much more. It's true that this movie is mostly based on farming but I think that it can really interest and is meant for anyone who buys groceries from stores and eats (so everyone!). In addition, as someone who is an animal lover, loves to eat without thinking of what I'm eating and without asking myself if it's healthy or not, this film was very informational and impacted me strongly. It not only made me think of how I could improve my diet and how to choose healthy foods, but it also made me think
