1 Last Update on the OG version of My High School Years.

By
Hello, everybody. It is now Feb 22, 2025, and it has been nearly 7 years since I first started My High School Years, the original version, now called the OG series. For the longest time, though, the last 8 episodes of the OG series have not been available publicly. It is time for this to change. Starting tonight, and following into tomorrow, Feb 23, 2025, I will be creating a Telegram channel to host the OG episodes on, the same way the (TR27's Version) episodes are hosted. All 66 OG episodes will be added there, able to be viewed by anybody who has Telegram or who is willing to download Telegram to watch them. Nothing will be changed in the Telegram uploads of these episodes. These 66 episodes will contain content from April 20, 2018 to April 3, 2020, and be much lighter in nature. However, some footage featured in the (TR27's Version) episodes will not be available in the OG episodes. In addition, all footage from Sep 21, 2019 to Oct 20, 2019 is not present in the OG episodes...

2484 Days Of This Blog's Existence. 1459 Days Left Of Trump's (2nd) Presidency. And TikTok's brief BAN...

Wow, what a CRAZY year 2025 has been! And we're not even in February yet! Anyways, here's some MAJOR things that have happened in 2025 so far: January 1, 2025 - A WILD start to the year. The New Orleans New Year's street attack, where a man connected to ISIS decided to drive into people celebrating the New Year on Bourbon Street around 3:15AM CST (4:15AM EST), and a few other events happened as well, including a nightclub shooting in Queens. (NOT a good start...) January 6, 2025 - Congress certifies Donald Trump's election win, leading to his return to office 14 days later as usual, ending any chance of Kamala Harris becoming the 47th POTUS. January 17, 2025 - History is made as the Supreme Court decides that the proposed TikTok ban IS constitutional, leading to it taking effect not long after. January 18, 2025 - US ByteDance Blackout - ALL ByteDance products go dark in the US due to the TikTok ban, which required ByteDance to divest or sell by January 19, 2025. ~ 10 PM...

2025 Is Going To Be A VERY Interesting Year. We Shall Find Out What Happens In 2025.

By

Happy New Year, everyone! It's not 2025 for me yet, but China, Australia, and the eastern part of the world have already welcomed in 2025. Considering what's in store for 2025, it's going to be a VERY interesting year! Here's what 2025 will be like for me: First year of me being fully 21+ (22 on 12/12/25) Typical stuff happens for me Probably more HCC (Holyoke Community College) day trips - some possibilities being Providence RI, the space observatory in Lowell MA, Boston MA day trip (last one was March 2024, and it was COLD!), and a few other candidates! Probably further on the journey to independence! I wonder what trips I will go on in summer '25? More adulthood responsibilities! First casino visit/first dispensary visit, both 21+ places! Getting a retake for my ID, my current one sucks! (My hair was a mess and my face too!) Here's how I ended 2024: On my 21st birthday (12/12/24), I applied for my 21+ ID, which is horizontal, in comparison to the vertical IDs...

6 Years Of My High School Years. 🥳😎

By
Today is April 5, 2024, and it marks exactly 6 years since I launched this blog on April 5, 2018! So many things have changed since then, like technology, the amount of times I have posted here (which has gone up and down), and the different social media platforms that have been popular, although most are the same. Here's what's changed since 4/5/18, in the world and just for me: My first blog post on this site, from 4/5/18: https://richardshighschoolyears.blogspot.com/2018/04/22-days-to-show.html?m=1 President in 2018: Donald Trump President in 2024: Joe Biden My age in 2018: 14 My age in 2024: 20 The social media platforms I have used most: 2018: Blogger/YouTube 2019: Blogger/YouTube 2020: Blogger/TikTok/Instagram/YouTube 2021: Instagram/YouTube 2022: Instagram/YouTube 2023: Threads/Instagram/Reddit/YouTube 2024: Threads/Reddit/YouTube And when it comes to my vlog, My High School Years (TR27's Version), I am currently taking ANOTHER hiatus so I can focus more on school (c...

I won't be able to post again until 2028... Here's why...

By
Guys, I have come across a point where I have decided to focus more on college, and because college is a long thing, I figured I would take the next 4 years off of blogging so I could focus on my education instead. College is a long road, and don't worry, I'll be back here in 2028 as a grown 24-year-old man talking about the beginning of my 20s. See you in 2028... LEAP DAY FOOLS! I mean I won't be able to post on THIS day (2/29) again until 2028! I'll be posting LOTS between now and 2028! Fooled you, didn't I? 🤣🤣🤣 Happy Leap Day! I'll see you soon, and DEFINITELY, on February 29, 2028!

Yet ANOTHER update on My High School Years (TR27's Version).

By
Hi, everybody! I'm back once again with an update on my vlog, My High School Years (TR27's Version), which has been on hiatus since January 21, 2024, when episode 69 went out on Telegram, the last one to come out. I have installed a video editing software called ShotCut on my Windows PC and although it runs somewhat slow, it runs pretty good, and I have already started production of episode 70 on there, the next episode. I am still learning to use this software, but I think I'm getting the hang of it! Although slightly different than YouCut (actually QUITE different), I think this will result in a better product, however, it is WAY more complex, complicated, and feature filled than YouCut could ever dream of! There are some issues (text can only be so long, there's a character limit), but they are manageable! If all goes well, you could be seeing new episodes by next month, March 2024! See you soon! 😁✌️😎

SNOWSTORM... NOT! SCHOOL... CANCELLED! 😁😁😁🥳

By
Winter Storm Lorraine is going a little further south than the meteorologists were expecting. And as they say, a little goes a long way! A VERY long way! The snowfall map (for where I am) went from 8-12" Sunday night, to 4-8" this morning, to now, 2-4"? We went from a MAJOR snowstorm to just another snowy day in a matter of 24 hours! However, we won't know how much we get until the storm gets here! Everything is already cancelled tomorrow (including HCC, Holyoke Community College, which has been open on SEVERAL days that my local district closed) despite this drastic forecast change (I imagine that they're closing not because of the size of the storm, but its timing, which looks to be 4am-12pm, SMACK DAB in the work day hours for most!), and I appreciate not having to get up early in the morning tomorrow! Anyways, SNOW DAY!!! 🥳🥳🥳😁😎👍

Wow, what a warm day Feb 10, 2024 was! I'm writing this about 12:30am on Feb 11, 2024, and it's STILL WAY above what it should be - my local weather station is reading 39.2°F (4°C) as of 12:22am along with some other readings.

For the latest information, visit  https://richardshighschoolyears.blogspot.com/episodes . To watch the 69 currently available episodes of My High School Years (TR27's Version) on Telegram, visit  https://t.me/MHSYTR27 . Good evening, everybody! Ever since June 2023, I have been making my vlog series that is a rehash of the OG (original) series, My High School Years, which I produced episodes for mainly from 2018 to 2019. I have produced 69 (nice. 😈) episodes of (TR27's Version) and I was on a roll in the first few weeks of 2024, producing new episodes on the daily! But just when everything got good and seemed unstoppable... Android 14 happened. After this update (which was NOT optional, it updates by itself  🙄) occurred on my phone (which was on Android 13 before), my abysimal 4GB RAM Samsung phone could no longer k...

February: 29 days this year!

By
Image
OK, I'll admit it. This year, I'm absolutely OBSESSED with the fact that there is a February 29th this year, as February typically only has 28 days, and the 29th only happens once every 4 years or so! Once Feb. 29 happens this year, I want to film that day as much as I can as I won't be able to film on 2/29 again until 2028, as 2025-2027 simply won't HAVE a Feb. 29, it would be March 1! By the way, here's the only video I have ever made on 2/29, from 2/29/2020, just before things got bad with COVID. (Not surprisingly, it's me bragging about getting to experience this special day!)

COVID and 2020 are in the history books. LITERALLY.

By

Crazy to think about, but COVID is already in the HISTORY books, LITERALLY! Even though it was ONLY 4 years ago! (That would be the equivalent of 9/11 being in a history book for the 2005-06 school year, BTW) You'd think it would take a few decades maybe, but NOPE! 4 years! Here's the evidence: Credit: @memezar on Instagram (posted 2/1/2024) Post link:  https://www.instagram.com/p/C20ONg6reC1/ OK, just had to get that out there! Have a great day!
