Multitasking

While trying to have a fun filled weekend, a Newark Charter School student remembered she had a blog due at midnight on Friday. She sat down at her computer and tried to brainstorm ideas because she did not use her time wisely in class to come up with a creative idea. Different ideas rushed through her mind as she looked down and picked up her phone. Instantly she was hooked into social media and did not look back up for over a half hour. She forgot all her ideas and had to go back to brainstorming. It got to the point where a ten minute assignment took her at least an hour. She got up and decided to go do other things but always had the burden of finishing her blog on her shoulder. Multitasking got to her. She just needed to sit down and finish what she started. So she did. The distracted student went back to her laptop and finally finished her assignment all this time later. Maybe if she just focused more, her blog post could have been finished days ago.

Over the weekend I went to NYC with some Spanish exchange students. It was a lot of fun and we went all over time square and 5th avenue. I got to go into the NBC studios and was in the same building as Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, and Jimmy Fallon all at the same time. It was absolutely incredible.

Amy Schumer Live

On September 24th I saw Amy Schumer Live in Wells Fargo Center. It was absolutely amazing. Not only was she breathtaking, but her opening act was just as hilarious. Amy is someone to lookup to because she doesn't care what other people think, she embraces being weird and not fitting the cookie cutter image of famous women today. She makes fun of herself and I think that is something to aspire to. She is watched by paparazzi and constantly ridiculed for her appearance, but that does not matter to her because she is happy with who she is. Throughout her whole performance she talks about how she is not as classy as other people she has met and I think that is why she is so relatable. All in all it was a great show and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great show!

Best TV Shows

If you're looking for a great laugh and possibly laughing so hard you cry, check out these TV shows found on Netflix and hulu that can have you hooked.
1. The league: a hilarious show about a group of guys who are part of a fantasy football league. You don't need to know football in order to love this show.

3. South Park: A show about a group of elementary school kids who go to south park elementary school and them making fun of different topics.
4. The Office: Michael Scott is the manager of a Dunder Mifflen Paper Company branch in Scranton PA and it shows the different office antics and the fun that arises from that.

"Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity..." -Gilda Radner

True comedy is being shadowed upon. The comedic legends are not recognized for paving the way for comedy today. Maybe I'm the one my age who cares about it, but I think that's what makes me different. Saturday Night Live is a huge part of my life and has influenced me in so many ways. I would just like to thank Lorne Michaels. The man who started this show. The man who opened my eyes to true comedy. Because of him I started watching classic comedy movies and television shows. I can't gossip with anyone about SNL or even my favorite movie (Caddyshack) because the new generation of people I have grown up with are not educated with this sort of knowledge.
Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray are people that should be recognized. These people would be the ones I would chose if I could ever have a celebrity lunch with. I am truly inspired by all of their creativity.  Of course there is many more great comedians throughout the course of the show that I absolutely love, but these led and taught the way to the new comedians we know and love today. They just need to be recognized by our generation, not just our parents generation. Their sense of humor may be dated to some, but it's just what I love. Just watch the point to counterpoint weekend update (Jane you ignorant...), Nerds, Right to the Extreme Stupidity League, Debby Downer, Cowbell, Mary Katherine Gallagher, etc.
These are iconic skits and after watching them, I hope people can feel the same way about SNL as I do.
