       Talking about nuclear reactors has always been a sketchy topic, and it had a lot of bad reputation because of the word nuclear. When you hear "nuclear," people tense up. Everyone oversees a touchy subject, but they don't get the true story because people overlook it. So you had this solid residue, of "This is not primarily an Energy Source, this is primarily a weapon that we all think very bad about." Which caused all of the Anti-Nuclear Protests. The documentary captured the fear and why we shouldn't be scared of this type of energy was really amazing. One scene that still holds on to me is that "A pound of Uranium that is the size of your finger; if we were to disperse that energy, it would be equal to 5000 barrels of petroleum." That's just mind-blowing to know how much greater the efficiency is. I wasn't expecting to see how many people were against it, and they made stories called the china syndrome. The China syndrome is if a r

    Collegiate Rocket League, also known as  CRL , is the Psyonix funded " Rocket League "  league for collegiate Esports in North America. The competition began in Summer 2017 with the Collegiate Rocket League - Summer Series. I participated  in CRL in Fall 2021 and it was quite interesting .  Let's start by covering how the league will operate throughout the 2021 CRL Fall Season: The Eastern and Western Conferences will have 12 teams each (24 total) Each Conference will play in Single-Round-Robin League Play The top four teams in each Conference advance to the Conference Playoffs The top two teams from each Conference Playoff advance to the 2021 CRL Fall Championship Details about the 2021 CRL Fall Championship will be announced at a later date The total amount of Scholastic Awards for the 2021 CRL Fall Season will be $100,000 The 2021 CRL Fall Season will be held online      We started the Open East Qualifier and let's just say it was a rude awakening. We instantly

    Ever since we moved from Illinois I cant believe the amount the change we went through. Starting school in the junior year was not to bad considering I have a twin. It made it easy making friends since we were together in all of our classes and the school was really small. Since it was small, everyone could notice a new face down the hallway and want to talk because kids were excited to meet someone new.            We headed home after meeting so many friends from school. It was a big change for life around the neighborhood compared to our old neighborhood. We used to live near the highway, O'Hare Airport and train tracks. Every 15 mins a plane would fly over, train would come back and forth heading to Chicago and the highway was...… well, the highway. Then moving to a neighborhood with a lake in your backyard was a big change. We could hear people talking from across the lake which was a big culture shock for me. My normal voice was considered really loud due to how loud I had

      I love my new family. I have been always a part of a team when it comes to soccer, wrestling, and now esports. I think it's crucial to have people close to you like a team since you can trust them and they will have your back. I think it's very important for everyone even for the youngins to have this environment.     A team will always be there for you as you will do the same. It was the most important thing I experienced and that developed even further after joining the esports team.     When I first went to college, I was back at square one. It was only me and my twin brother Vlad back at it again tackling the world together. Once I joined PNW Esports for Rocket League, I made friends that I could talk to, I can walk to class with, and even go out and hang with.  These guys helped me with the big leap that we all had to adapt which was going to college. I love my new family and I'm glad that I'm at PNW.          

           The Game Room is a nice getaway for me because I commute to school. During block periods and no homework to do, I head over to the Game room. I usually play billiards  or "pool" when I'm in there, but unfortunately it was closed.      I usually express my anger by sighing but someone had another look at it. They demolished the far left tv that is used for consoles like Nintendo  switch and etc. It made me rather upset since I couldn't  burn time for my next class by using the room. However since the incident they put nice borders up for the Tv section and it adds a lot of texture  to the room.  Since I was out of luck, I scrambled for my iPad remembering my friends playing BTD6. Bloons Tower Defense 6 is the name of the game and it helped burn a lot of time. I'm glad my friends showed this game because this is the only thing I play now when I'm free.

          Competitive video gaming is a rapidly expanding global phenomenon with millions of followers and billions of dollars on the line. Casual gamers have been transformed into earnest stars, with seven-figure wages and enormous corporate sponsorships thanks to streaming services and live events.      Esports is entering the sports scene faster than you think. The game "Valorant" peaked at 16.6 Million viewers during the broadcast. That is on par with the NFL with an Average of 16.9 million viewers last year. We can definitely expect Esports to become one of the top things as the year goes on. The more people who watch will appreciate the pro players skills and respect this category of this sport.     It's cool to see college are introducing Esports too and a whole other playing field to video games as a whole. It brings a lot more variety in college sports and allows more people to participate in sports. It also introduces more sponsor ideas as you can see Mercedes
