Hi, My name is Michael Sanchez and this is my first year in the journalism program. I am currently a senior and I joined journalism because I wanted to be a better writer before I headed off to college. One of my future aspirations is to go to Miami University in Oxford to study education. By learning how to improve my writing skills I can become not only a better educator but a better person.

I wanted my thoughts to be shared with people who could use a voice; People who have been neglected by the public eye could use someone to shed light on them. For hobbies, I would say I like to play video games with my friends. Games like League of Legends, CSGO, and Valorant. These games help teach me the value of a healthy competitive spirit, while also teaching me how group comradery is the real key to success. I also like to go on morning walks. These walks give me some time to be alone with my own thoughts and for me to receive some clarity in my life.

THEY ARE HERE! The dreaded 17-year timer is up. If you have not heard, cicadas are coming out this year. Brood X will be emerging from the ground, bringing billions of cicadas this year in large swarms. Many are not ready for these red-eyed, inch-long, flying insects who release a mating call that can reach 100 decibels, which, in comparison, is as loud as a jet taking off. And believe it or not, some even consider cicadas a delicacy. Cicadas are featured in many meals such as ice cream, salads, and even ramen dishes. Cicadas offer a great source of protein, zinc, iron, and are low in fat.

They’re here

Brood X is already here-get ready

ENVISIONING AN END. Spoilers ahead. Coming from someone who is a huge fan of Marvel movies. I had high expectations for WandaVision. Did the show reach my expectations? Yes, kind of. Let me explain. Before I explain my thoughts behind WandaVision and spoil some important parts of the show, I highly recommend watching WandaVision. I would give it an 8.5/10, as my complaints about the show really only revolve around the many theories I heard and unrealistic expectations of the show.
