February
- “So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s going to be really hard; we’re gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me… everyday.” A quote from The Notebook that embodies the purity and wholeness of true love. Noah is willing to embrace the fact that his relationship is gonna be filled with obstacles, and my favorite part is where he says, ¨I want all of you, forever, everyday.¨
- Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
This is a Hindi movie that has a link to a song’s lyrics. The translation of “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil” is ¨struggles in our love¨.

- “Though this be madness, yet there is method in’t.” (Hamlet)
For me the quote is actually reversed in that though my life has method to it, madness also exists yet on a more internal level that others often don’t see.
This is a poem by the renowned poet William B. Yeats that was basically about a man telling a woman how she will regret not being with him when they are old and weary. It inspired my February Free Choice as well.
April
- David’s blog has given me a lot of inspiration to work from and has helped me adopt different styles of writing that I had never been exposed too. Not to mention, his ability to write is exceptional, and he has grown over this past semester.
2. Liza
- Another phenomenal writer I know is Liza, who has this structured way of talking about the most chaotic ideas. It was great having her in the AP class to learn and emulate from because her passion for writing isn’t something that can be seen in everyone.
3. Oba
- Oba is such a talented writer, and I personally am a fan of all his scripts because it feels so authentic and natural. I wish I had another creative writing class with him before he leaves, but since that won’t happen, I’ll just be happy knowing that others will see his amazing character.
May
- https://www.rsc.org.uk/ – the Royal Shakespeare Company gives great plot summaries for Shakespearean plays and mix the worlds of theater and literature, which is something that the writer himself did during his time.
- www.dailyactor.com – this blog is great for general tricks on acting that helped me during this last semester
June
- https://evolvingthoughts.net/2010/07/24/a-philosophy-blog – “It is a thoughtful and infrequent blog in which he deals with everything from quantum mechanics and time through to popular culture and speciation.”
- https://www.ted.com/talks – Ted Talks are amazing because they provide so much insight on ideas presented by a wide variety of people. The different perspectives are the real reason that Ted Talks have gained so much popularity and inspired so many people.
