Teen Connexions

       Many of us have asked this question at least once during the long excruciating hours of being stuck at home:   what should I do?  If you are one of them, welcome to the club. You've come to the right place, because I will be mentioning some ideas for things to do during quarantine. Of course, it is understandable that some of you will be frustrated with this list because there might be some things that aren't possible for you to do. I will try to make things as general as possible, so people of all ages can try, but I can't guarantee that everything on here will be something you will fall in love with. Here are some ideas... - Read a book:  Go to your local library or browse the books in your house. There are also books available in the digital form, but I know that some of us want a break from being online all day. - Play a game : You are never too young to use your imagination, and most of us have cards or board games lying around the house. If you live alone, then

This post is a poem I wrote....  'tis my Ode to E-learning   Stuck at home Nowhere to roam Learning on zoom On a screen in my room When will this be over? This corona takeover? Is this how it will be  For all of eternity? I can't help but wonder and bring out the feelings that are brewing under "A new normal", people are calling this How can you say that? It's not like this is bliss. A vaccine is what we are waiting on To make this all be gone But until then I sit In a place dimly lit I give this ode to e-learning And wait here, yearning.

The Coronavirus Catastrophe      COVID-19 . Standing for CO rona VI rus D isease 20 1 9 , the scientific name implies that the outbreak started in 2019, although most people didn't take this seriously until the start of 2020, the beginning of a new decade. If you are reading this and have no clue what I am talking about, or don't have something similar going on around you currently, consider yourself lucky.      I had originally started this blog to keep myself busy during the lockdown, and to be able to do something that I had wanted to do for a long time while I had the chance.  Although this entire blog will not be about the pandemic, I would like to put a spotlight on the topic for at least one post. Being something that most people in the world are relating to currently, I thought it would be nice to share a little bit of my perspective on the effects of the pandemic and wait to see if any of you readers have anything to add on to what I say. Now rather than continuing to

     "TeenConnexions". Some of you might have wondered why the name of this blog is what it is. I wanted something that would show my connection to the world. Also, I thought that adding the French word for "connection" would be a fun twist to the name.  People my age look up to sites such as these for advice or to learn new things. I just turned into a teenager this past summer, so I thought adding in the word "teen" would make it easier to reach out to people my age. After all, the teenage years are known to be some of the most youthful years of our lifetime, and the time when we feel the need to have freedom, to identify our true self and sometimes make the most crucial decisions for the life ahead.      I did not want to give this blog a name that restricted the freedom of the topic or that limited what I could post about. . Although I have explained my reason  a lot, I don't want this name to just have this meaning. I want you, my readers, to und

     My journey to blogging started with my travels and my adventurous family. Ever since I was a toddler, we have been traveling around the world and living in different places. Traveling is something we do as a family, and something that has bonded us together more and more after each trip. Sometimes it isn't just the destination that's important; the journey is too.       Other than that, some of my hobbies are to read, to meet new people, obviously write, and play and listen to music, along with many others.      I intend to express my interests and love to learn throughout this blog. What better way to get started in writing than by sharing my experiences with others?      When we are not in a position to be able to go to new places and meet new people, many of us rely on the internet and book pages that hold the thoughts and experiences of many others who could fulfill their dreams. I hope my blog can help you to discover new places and new interests. Here's to fuelin
