What’s up brotatochips, it’s yo girl Abby out here with my first blog post!

Blog assignment numero uno for my very favorite class is that Y’ALL get to hear about my favorite parts of NDA! Today is day 9 and I love it so far. The relaxing environment helps provide a stress-free learning experience when it comes to the atmosphere in the classroom.  I also love my classes. My tech and scripture classes are so open and fun, my teachers don’t even care when I talk without raising my hand (very different from grade school.) Art is literally the most chill class I’ve ever been in and Mr. Eckerle always keeps us entertained.  Mr. Stamm in chemistry is always so off topic, we literally learn nothing but that keeps class interesting. SJ’s English class is impossible to stay awake in but I won’t complain too much. Right now my group in health is filming a music video for a parody to the theme song from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air about how to stay socially healthy, and I’m actually so excited about it. I really thought I was going to hate Norte Dame but it is so much fun and I love it.

One thing NDA could improve on, however; is the online system PowerSchool. PowerSchool is the program we use for all assignments, grades, schedules, handing in completed work, etc. It has everything we need to run the school day but it can be very confusing and unorganized, and as a result a good amount of class time every day is spent trying to figure out how to turn in a certain assignment or learning how to use another function. I don’t mind the online learning at all, other than the fact that when things won’t load, the whole school is like chickens running around with their heads cut off - no one has any idea what to do.  

But overall, Norte Dame is amazing and I am very excited for my next four years here!

Peace out, do good, live your best life & eat some cheez-its while you’re at it

The freshman formal was really fun. My friends and I are always the first ones to dance at any dance we go to, and that did not fail to carry over into the formal this weekend. As soon as we showed up we were dancing our hearts out, despite all of the other people who were most definitely judging us. I originally had a date to go with, but he, along with my friends’ dates, ditched me, so my friends and I went as a trio and had a blast. I think they definitely could have played some better music and maybe gotten a DJ because the music was not the best. I understand that we have to play all clean music because we’re a good Cathloic school, but maybe just download the clean versions of more popular songs like Cov Cath does for their dances instead of omitting them all together. My favorite part of the whole thing though, was getting ready and taking pictures before the dance even started. My friends came over to my house early in the morning and we went to get our nails done and pic...

What’s up brochachos I’m back again with vlog numero dos This week we’re gonna be chatting about technology and social media use! Obviously in our society, especially in the younger population, internet use has skyrocketed in the last 10 years.  What are some advantages and disadvantages of the internet-driven world we live in today? My personal phone use is minimal compared to other people my age. I average about 2 hours per day on my phone, whereas many of my friends average 5 hours and up.  I try to always keep my phone near me so in case of an emergency I am available, but I do my best not to have my face in the screen 24/7. I feel like constantly being on your phone limits the way you live, really.  People who spend all their time on social media and their phones in general usually don’t have very good communication skills, because they are more adapted to texting rather than talking face-to-face. I think this is one major disadvantage in our new technolog...
