My favorite trend this year was the fortnite trend. Fortnite is a game where you are dropped into a map and you have to loot and find guns and survive so you can be the last person alive. It's a lot like the Hunger Games. What made it super popular was that it was kid friendly and free. Fortnite is an animated game so there is no blood or gore which is another reason it's so popular because parents don't see anything wrong with it. Probably the most popular thing about fortnite is the skins and cosmetic items. Fortnite is a free game but you can spend real money to buy different skins, dances, and emotes. These skins, dances, and emotes have become super popular and most well known about fortnite as a game.

If I were to be stuck on an island for a month I would take Bill Nye the Science Guy, Tom Hanks, and Kevin Hart. These three people will all play crucial roles in surviving the month on the island. My reasons behind bringing Bill Nye the Science Guy along is that we need someone who knows what they are doing. Bill had a science show for many years and he knows a lot about science in nature. He would know what to food to eat, best way to make food, and best way to cook food. I would bring Tom Hanks just because of his experience on islands. Even though he didn't actually live on the island, but he acted it out and he's done it for multiple movies. He would know and understand survival techniques that could save us in a bind. My final person to bring along is Kevin Hart. For being on a secluded island, things get boring. I am bringing Kevin Hart for entertainment and just to have a fun time. He would lighten up the mood when we are sitting depressed on the island. If I had won one million dollars, there are a lot of things I would do. The first thing I would put 200,000 into a bank so it will start making interest and eventually be apart of my retirement fund. I would leave it and not touch it until I retire so I do not have to worry about any expenses when I am to old to work. The second thing I would do with the money is pay off my families house and any other bills. I would also use the money to buy a new family car and a personal car. My personal car would be a Jeep Wrangler. I have always wanted a Jeep Wrangler. I like the boxy look to them and the power they store. I also like the fact that you can go without doors and so I would never have my doors on in the summer. My last thing I would do is pay for my siblings college so they will not have to worry about being in debt after they graduate. Whatever is left I will donate to a some research facility to help cure diseases. What I am thankful for this year is security. I am thankful that I have a house that is warm and protects me fro m the outside. Many people have to live outside or in houses with no heating or comfort. I am thankful for the fact that I have those luxury's and that I don't have to worry ever. I am thankful that I have locked doors so that my family can be safe. I am also thankful for the stability I have in my life. I am thankful that my family and extended family get along and that we meet with them on a regular basis. It's nice to see my aunts and uncles as well as cousins whenever we get together. Some families aren't like that and have a lot of turmoil within the family and get together's, if they even happen, are not fun nor enjoyable. On November 5 2018 the York Media Productions class went to Lincoln Nebraska for some educational tours of NET and Husker Vision. We arrived at NET first and got to see how they operate. Both NET and Husker Vision had a similar layout with similar technology. One thing that suck out about NET was the 6,000 square foot set room with hundreds of lights in the ceiling. In that room they had 3 different sets set up. One was The Big Red Wrap Up where they talk about the husker sports. The second place we went was Husker Vision. At Husker Vision we went up the stairs of memorial stadium and was showed a couple rooms where they show the big screen. All in all the trip was informative and flowed well. All of the places we went to had some pretty cool stuff to think about now that I'm starting to think about colleges. If I were to be a objects that people use everyday I would be a computer. A computer can do and make a lot of things. Computers can access the internet and surf around it. It would be nice to just open up something like chrome in my mine and search anything and find it in an instant. Computers can also edit pictures and videos to make them more smooth and pretty. Computers have the ability to play video games on them. It would be nice to play very popular games just in my mind. Computers can look pretty sick as well. They can be customized to a persons likeness and have a cool color scheme. There's a lot of fun stuff about road trips and here are some things that make them the best. To make the best road trip you have to nothing to worry about at home. This way you can relax without worry. Also you need to wear comfy cloths. To be able to relax you have to be the most comfortable and chill to relax. Road trips can be long and arduous so you need a lot to do and eat. What I normally do is go to the library and get books on disks to listen to on the way. If I'm not driving, I always download movies and TV shows off of Netflix. Eating is really important on road trips because you need to be as comfortable as possible so stock up on the best snacks from Walmart and various gas stations. The best road trips are when you are driving through the mountains or in rolling hills. It's very relaxing to see all of them and it helps keep you awake and alert when driving. If you are driving with friends there are certain jobs you must do. The driver obviously must drive and stay focused on the road. The passenger is supposed to man the aux cord and keep the driver awake with food and conversation. The back people are supposed to hand out snacks and be at the beck and call of the front people. All of these things must happen in order to have a successful road trip. Everybody loves memes. Memes are funny pictures or graphics that portray jokes or relate-able circumstances. A meme that has grown big recently is the moth and lamp meme. This started as a Reddit post of the biggest moth in the world. People went crazy about it and since moths love lamps naturally this massive moth would need a massive lamp. And so the lamp moth meme was created. Many pictures of lamps and moths were edited to make jokes. Compared to most memes I give this meme a 7/10. This meme can be incorporated in many different kids of memes. What gives this meme a 7/10 is because it's so diverse. This meme was very popular in the summer and the end of summer. I did not see this meme until it was very popular towards the end of the summer because I was camping where there was no cell service. The two big console gaming companies are Xbox and PlayStation. These two companies are big rivals as because they have same player base and games. There are ups and downs to both these companies however. On the PlayStation side they have a lot of fun exclusive games which are games that only PlayStation owners can play. On the other side, Xbox gives you access to buy and download old games and play them on your updated system. Both Xbox and PlayStation have different specs in their consoles and have different strengths and weaknesses. I personally like Xbox over PlayStation Moving to Nebraska was probably the most life-changing experience in my young life. I previously lived in northern Minnesota in a city called Duluth. Duluth is a city of 86,000 people and is right on lake Superior. With the lake effect and it being northern Minnesota, it gets pretty cold and snowy. I had lived up north my entire life and moving was a big eye opener. The biggest change physically was the weather. It didn't get terribly cold and there were only a little amount of snow. Also Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes and so I was used to being able to go out and go to a lake to hangout or relax but here in Nebraska that's not the case. There are not a lot of lakes and they are all pretty small. Making friends was a little hard at first. In Minnesota all my friends were friends I've known since a really young age. In Nebraska people acted differently and people already had friends. I eventually found a group of kids through my church and to this day we are still good friends.
