Hello fellow bloggers,

If you don’t know me, my name is Ty. I am a currently a grade 8 student, and the year is almost over. I like playing sports, and video games. I am pretty good at piano, and am currently trying to survive school until summer; hopefully getting honor roll at the same time.

Some challenges I faced in school this year, was lack of motivation. School is monotonous, and is so easy to make it un important, and give a lack of effort. I had a hard time being excited about school, and handing in good school work because of it. It helps that the school year is almost over. All I need is one final push till I am at the end.

One challenge I might face next year, is homework. I don’t have homework very often, so when I have it in high school, I might not be prepared for it. I will have to change my habits to keep up with the extra school work. Also, when I don’t keep up with it, I will pay the price. One problem I might have in ELA, is writers block. I have terrible writers block, and it makes me fall behind in my assignments. I will have to work on this or I will be put behind.

I have learnt a lot this year. I have gotten a lot better at writing stories and essays, as well as math, science, and social studies. I have learnt a lot of new formulas in math, and how to calculate surface area, and volume in multiple 3D shapes. I have learnt lots of new things in science, and how the world works. Also, I have learnt about many ancient societies, like Greece, Egypt, and Mesopotamia.

I am excited, but some what nervous to be going to high school next year. I hope I will be able to achieve good marks in high school, and graduate. This summer I am planning to be working a lot, cutting grass, and planting grass by our new house. I am looking forward to summer this year, as it will give me some time to relax, and stop worrying about school. I hope you have a great summer. Bye!✌

Long, long ago, there was a man named Yoland. He was not an ordinary man, but a very important man. He was known all over the world, for his extraordinary strength, and skill in battle. All nations wanted him in their army, but there was only one city he would serve for: Alegia. There was nothing special about this city, that is, its people thought, but Yoland knew different. There was something very special about the city of Alegia, that no one knew about, except for one man.

Yoland woke up to the sound of thunder. It seemed to be a sign of what laid ahead of him. It clearly said, “Don’t do it, turn back,” but Yoland was brave. He was not going to turn away from his plan so fast.

Yoland got out of bed, yawned, and put on his clothes. It was earlier than he usually woke up, but he was glad for it. No time could be wasted if he wanted his plan to work. Yoland knew something no one knew, that is, except for the king.

He had learnt about this, while serving in the king’s army, many years back. He had been sent down to the king’s dungeon, where he was  to kill a prisoner. He did it as asked, and was about to return to the king, when he got curious. He had noticed that he was the only solider allowed to go to the dungeon. That made him think, “What is the king hiding from me?” Powered by this urge, he ran down the long dungeon.

What he found at the end was weird. It seemed regular; the jail cell appeared to be the same as all the others, but something was out of place. With a start, he realized there was footprints. This struck him as weird, because of the way the prisoners were placed in the cells. They filled the dungeon from the entrance to the back. As far he knew, the dungeon had never been full. He walked into the cell.

At the back of the cell, a there was piping. He was confused by this. No other cells had plumbing, why should this one? He looked inside the piping, and something strange happened. He started to get sucked in!

He was sucked into the piping and trapped in a small room. The walls were solid rock, except for a single wooden door that was locked. He did not know what was on the other side of the door, but he was curious, and slashed at the lock with his sword. He was surprised when the lock cut, but shrugging his shoulders, he kicked open the door.

The door opened to a treasure room, which contained many valuable items. Bags of gleaming gold coins, gems of all colours, and most important of all, the scepter. The scepter was believed to have been owned by the first king of Alegia, but in a war, was lost despite its supposed magical powers. It was believed to have been taken by their enemy city, but this obviously was not true. The scepter was seven feet tall and made entirely out of gold. On the top of the scepter, was all seven gems mined by the city. He knew at this point he had gone too far. There was another pipe on the other side of the wall, and putting his head to it, was sucked back to the castle.

Now, Yoland was going to steal this treasure. Because it would look suspicious, he didn’t come through the gate. Instead, he used a grappling hook. Swinging the hook in his hands, he flung it up to the walls of the castle and climbed up.

He snuck through the castle, careful not to make any noise, as guards were always watching. He was sneaking forward when he heard a crash. He had tipped a piece of furniture! He looked back to see guards running behind him. Knowing he could not fight all of them at one time, he ran.

He was glad for not coming in armor. If he had, he would’ve surely gotten caught. As it was, Yoland was very fast, and was in the dungeons before the guards had even reached the stairs. Yoland sprinted off in the direction of the last cell, hoping desperately he could get there in time. As it was, he was tiring, and did not know if he could get to the cell.

This changed when he heard a sound close behind him; very close behind him. In a rush of adrenalin, he took off, faster than he had ever ran before. In no time, he was at the cell, and not looking back, he sucked himself through the plumbing. As he traveled, he hoped with all his might, that the broken lock had not been noticed.

He was sucked out into the same room as before. With a sigh of relief, he realized the lock had not been changed. He opened the door, and slowly entered the room. He was going to pick up one of the gems, when he heard a noise. Not knowing why, he picked up the scepter. He heard another noise and realized what was happening. He held up the scepter and a shaft of lightning came from the ceiling, caving the other room in, and blocking himself off from the guards. From there, he quickly rushed to get all the treasure into the bag he had brought along. Once all the treasure in the room was in his bag, he sucked himself out of the room, scepter in hand.

To his surprise, he was sucked into the king’s room, where the king was waiting for him. The king smiled cruelly, “Give me the scepter,” the king said, “and I will let you go free.” Knowing the power of the scepter, he wasn’t scared, but he played along with the king. “Here, take the scepter, just let me go.” The scepter was almost in the king’s hands, when Yoland yelled. In a flash of light, the whole castle exploded. He was launched up in the air, and with a thought, flew through the sky hungry for more power.

Minecraft’s mobs can be very annoying, but there is a lot of useful mobs to. These mobs make the game a lot easier, and are used commonly to beat the game. There are some of Minecraft’s most useful mobs.

3) The Ender Dragon

This may come as a surprise, but if you are trying to get enchantments, it is useful as it drops and crazy amount of levels. If you can find a way to beat it quickly, you can get enchantments really easy, and make getting levels much easier. Because of this, I would say the Ender Dragon is a really useful mob.

2) Piglins

This is by far one of the most useful mobs for many reasons. First of all, the trading. You can get potions, enchanted books, and obsidian, just for a few gold ingots. And the most important part about Piglin trading; ender pearls. Piglins will trade them, and it is a lot faster then trading, then killing Endermen, making them super good for speed running

1) Villagers

If you know how to use villagers right, they are by far the best mob. Using these mobs, you can do so many things. Just through trading with them, you can get infinite emeralds, and super OP enchanted books. If you know how to do this right, it will benefit you greatly in beating the game, and will allow you to get super stacked really easy. This makes them the most useful mob in the game.

You may think that the world is in your discretion, but it isn’t. The world is in other people’s discretion. If you think it is in your discretion, you are very very very very very very very very wrong about that. You should stop believing this STAT. I desperately hope you are not like this, but if you are, oh well.

The world is not in your discretion. You may wonder how I know this, and the answer is, I know stuff. That means you are not allowed to doubt me as I know more stuff than you do, which things. If the world was in your discretion, you could change the world around you to however you would like. Does anyone have that power? No, I don’t think so (not including me). A famous quote says, “To be, or not to be.” This single handedly shows that the world is not in your discretion, and if you don’t yet agree with me, you may like bagels.

Another reason why I know the world is not in your discretion, is because you probably don’t know what the word discretion means. If this is true, you should probably find the definition of this in a dictionary. If you don’t know what a dictionary is, well, don’t even get me started. The world is in no one’s discretion as if it is, someone would probably have destroyed the world already. There’s a world to live in, so this proves that this isn’t true. Another quote reads, “Like water off a duck back.” If this is true, there’s no way the world could be in our discretion. Now don’t question me. Believe it.

I like quite a few video games, but there are some that outshine the rest. These games are all super fun to play, and I really enjoy them. These games have a way of making you come back to play them, and fit with my personnel interests. These are my top 3 video games:

3.) Rocket League

This game is good for many reasons. First of all, there’s no game truly like it. Sure, there’s soccer video games, but in no video games, do you control all aspects of the object you are moving. It’s like controlling what every joint in the hand will do in a shooting game. Throughout the game, little by little, you will learn small things to improve your overall play, and it’s something you have to put many hours in the game to achieve.

2.) NHL 21

This game is so well made compared to other sports games. The graphics are really good, and there’s so many things to do in the game. You can start as a CHL, and grind in the game, trying to become the best in the NHL. You can start a season with one of your favourtite NHL teams, and play for the cup. The makers of the game have perfected every little detail of the game, which makes it so clean when playing. This is so much fun to play, which you will know if you have it.

1.) Minecraft

This game may seem bland at first, but it’s a lot more fun than it looks. This game is super addicting, and is free-range, allowing you to do almost anything you want. I love playing on the servers the game offers, and playing the mini games on them. With other people, you can play bed wars, sky wars, and do fun parkour. This game has you coming back constantly, and I would recommend it to anyone.

It always happens; every time we blog. I sit on my computer, and my mind is black. I have no ideas, and nothing to write about. It’s not the writing of the blog that’s hard, It’s getting ideas. Some days, I will look at the starting screen for a whole period, and no ideas come. It’s a nightmare when this happens. I have to do homework then, and finish the blog at home, but when I do, the same thing happens. A blank mind…

What I find funny about this whole problem, is once I get a good idea, I like blogging. With one good idea, I can wrap up my blog in about 5-10 minutes. But when I don’t, blogging just isn’t fun. Nobody likes having to do school work, with no ideas. It involves boredom, and little enjoyment, but when you get an idea, I happy to do blogging. It’s all about the ideas.

Blogging is fun to do, but it sucks when you don’t have ideas. With me being constantly out of ideas, it can get a tad boring. Personally, I don’t mind it, but give me an idea first. I don’t want homework. I could be that I am too picky with my ideas, and that is probably true, but for me, I need a good base to start on, or else I find it hard.

I know I have already blogged about the famous youtuber, “MrBeast,” but a lot has changed since the last time I blogged about him. If you thought he was giving away lots of money before, you will be surprised to find out that not even close to how much he is giving away now. MrBeast is one of the richest youtubers ever, and spend thousands of dollars on every video he makes. His videos are all super entertaining, and I would recommend them to anyone.

It may sound crazy, but he has given away over 3 million dollars in his whole YouTube career. With new videos coming out every 2-3 days, and giving away about 100 thousand dollars in every one of them, it makes sense why he has given away so much. He currently is helping in many charities, and giving away to many needy people, with saying that for every 1 subscriber, he will donate 10 cents to charity. Not only that, but every week, he gives away 10 thousand dollars to any new subscribers to the channel. His videos are super entertaining, and you will not regret subscribing to them, as every video is quality.

MrBeast is one of the best, and most popular youtuber on the planet, and are super fun to watch. Every video is packed with humor, excitement, and expression, and is fun for all ages. I would recommend this to anyone, and the videos will not disappoint you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcwGleN38zE
