My High School Years

Nice seeing you! 1. 2. 3! All very good... Milestones... @charlidamelio, THE FIRST TIKTOKER TO HIT 100 MILLION FOLLOWERS, OR THE NINE FIGURES! THIS IS CURRENTLY, AND PROBABLY WILL BE FOR GOOD, THE BIGGEST SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWER MILESTONE THAT THERE IS! THE MOST FOLLOWED ACCOUNT OUT THERE, IS @instagram ON INSTAGRAM, WITH OVER 378 MILLION FOLLOWERS AS OF 11/26/2020. WHAT'S EVEN CRAZIER, THIS BARELY HAPPENED IN A YEAR, LIKELY THE FASTEST TO 100M EVER ON ANY PLATFORM! IN MARCH 2020, WHEN SHE BECAME MOST FOLLOWED ON TIKTOK, SHE BARELY HAD 40 MILLION! SO, SHE HAS GAINED ON AVERAGE OVER 8 MILLION FOLLOWERS A MONTH, 2 MILLION A WEEK, OR 300,000 FOLLOWERS A DAY! TO BE CLEAR, AT THE LOWEST, THAT'S ABOUT 3.5 FOLLOWERS A SECOND! FALLING BEHIND, IN SECOND PLACE, @addisonre ON TIKTOK HAS ABOUT 69,600,000 FOLLOWERS AS OF 11/22/2020, PUTTING HER OVER 30 MILLION BEHIND THE TOP SPOT! To be clear, the milestones were: (11/22/2020) @charlidamelio hitting 100M followers (TikTok) (Later, around 11/2...

Yummy: blueberry pancakes with honey on top and scrambled eggs. I'd want this every day if I could! Sunset at 4:40pm... Different: Big Y FINALLY CHANGED THEIR LOGO! This new logo you see had been on most Big Y stores in the area since at least 2018, but this one in Southampton was the last to hang on to the original logo (there since at least 2011) but it has now FINALLY ditched it. Welcome! This one looks more modern and much better. I'm surprised they didn't change it when they did a MASSIVE remodel in 2019, which the current logo had seen at the time. Now that they changed it, it felt like a dream at the time of capture; I will get used to it soon... Didn't know Dunkin' (Donuts) had cereal, coffee flavored cereal... what about the donuts? Surely you forgot SOMETHING... THE BEST... Oreos in 2020. Pretty soon, there will be gluten-free Oreos joining the regular ones! (January 2021 to be exact) The toilet paper craze is back! Sorry... Nothing gluten free on the 2020...

YouTube, why are you doing this? Recent news: As of 11/18/2020, YouTube has officially changed its terms of service, and many are NOT HAPPY. What is the change? YouTube has added a section stating that they now have the right to monetize ALL videos on the platform, and for creators with less than 1,000 subscribers and less than 4,000 hours of watchtime, too bad, you're not getting any profit! Wait, WHAT?! For people who do not qualify for the YouTube partner program (less than 1k subs and less than 4k hrs of watchtime in 1 year), YouTube still gets to monetize your content but you don't get any money! This is MESSED UP, BIG TIME! This means that ANY channel can get monetized by YouTube, but some creators still get no profit and YouTube gets it all. Creators are NOT HAPPY. This change MAKES me want to unagree with YouTube's terms, but if I don't agree, then I don't use YouTube! (Can't do that, I WATCH YouTube, can't go without it) YouTube, you have fallen dow...

Here's a lesson, Apple: Don't slow down old phones! Apple is now paying $113M after the Batterygate controversy that happened in 2016, even after paying $500M also after the controversy in March 2020. Why did Apple do this? Many people thought it was Apple's trick to convince people to buy new iPhones, but this was actually done to improve battery life on older iPhones, but it was a massive failure, as Apple has now paid $600M+ over the controversy. So, don't slow down old phones, Apple! (and any other smartphone maker)

*THIS POST WILL BE UPDATED AS MORE DETAILS BECOME AVAILABLE* Last updated: 14 Dec 2020 (9:52AM) Bad news: I might've gotten COVID-19, and my school has switched to full remote, likely until December, for the first time, since mid-March, as one of the around 25 students in the building at the time (50% capacity, total student population is 50-55) might have contracted the COVID-19 virus. I will update as the situation continues, and notify on any diagnosis of COVID-19. Thank god I just got my flu shot! (although those likely don't work against COVID-19, sadly) Maybe I should get Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine? UPDATE 12/12/20: On 12/11/20, Pfizer's COVID-19 became the first vaccine to be granted emergency use authorization by the FDA, which now means that there is a treatment (remdesivir, Veklury as it is now named), along with a vaccine, both approved by the FDA (only for emergency use as of 12/12/20, likely will be released to the public very soon; when it comes out to the ...

MY INSTAGRAM IS BACK! I HAVE PUBLISHED A NEW POST ON THERE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE NOVEMBER 3 (17 DAYS), AND YOU SHOULD REALLY CHECK IT OUT! BY THE WAY, I (MIGHT) MAKE A BETTER INSTA, SO STAY TUNED... And for people coming here from Instagram, why don't you go ahead and follow me? Thanks!

  "You're almost out of free articles" Almost? How MUCH is almost? 1? 2? 3? Geez, you just CAN'T be specific?! Ridiculous.

  THE STRESS IS OFFICIALLY OVER. BIDEN HAS OFFICIALLY GAINED GEORGIA, THE LAST STATE, AND THE FINAL TOTAL: BIDEN 306, TRUMP 232. FIRST TIME A DEMOCRAT HAS WON GEORGIA SINCE 1992! CONGRATS BIDEN!!! 💙💙💙 #Biden2020 THE 2020 ELECTION HAS OFFICIALLY CONCLUDED.

Well, that's sad! Just before hitting 100 MILLION on TikTok on Wednesday (11/18/20), at 99.5 million followers, (would've hit 100m on 11/19 or 11/20) Charli D'Amelio made a controversial post, and has been losing followers for about a day, over a million, falling from 99.5M to 98.4M as of 11/19/20 at 6PM. This is not good, especially when you (were) so close to getting a one-of-a-kind milestone! Lesson: be careful what you post! Inspired by this article: https://nypost.com/2020/11/19/charli-damelio-loses-followers-after-personal-chef-video-backlash/ WITH THE 1M+ loss in 24 HOURS, this is basically the 2020 version of Tati VS James Charles. (2019s, remember THAT controversy? 3M lost in a few days?) Be careful, Charli D'Amelio! 😬

It was SO cold today, I barely wanted to be outside! But I did play a little Capture The Flag, but that really didn't help! Today was a chilly one; felt like a winter day a month before winter! It was 80 two weeks ago and now, 30-40? Geez...

Hello. Since summer 2020, Google Photos has been the main destination for high-quality My High School Years content. But as you may have heard, effective June 1, 2021, Google Photos will no longer offer unlimited free storage, which is essential for My High School Years content. So, a plan has not been figured out yet, but we are expecting the following to happen: Around January 20, 2021, My High School Years will return with new content every week as the first national lockdown is expected to happen between January 20, 2021 and March 3, 2021. (6 weeks) Also, My High School Years will continue to air on Google Photos until the end of season 3, The Junior Year, likely shortly before July 1, 2021. Seasons 0-3 will be available on Google Photos. A plan has not been figured out for season 4, The Senior Year, the final year of My High School Years (July 2021-August 2022), but season 4 will likely be an exclusive blog release or will likely be released on another cloud platform, such as Dego...

On Wednesday, November 11, 2020 from 4:30pm-6pm, I had my first tutor session with (one of) the Smith students since March, and we did the session over Zoom, because Smith is remote, the tutor, Diamond, lives far away, and obviously, COVID-19. It was a fun session and for the first time since March 2020, my schedule is booked completely! What I do: Monday - 3:30pm-5pm: Music Drop-In Tuesday - 2-3pm: Virtual Therapy, 3pm-4:30pm: Drop-In, 6pm-8pm: HEROES Wednesday - 4:30pm-6pm: Virtual Tutoring Thursday - 3pm-4:30pm: Drop-In Friday - 3:15pm- end time varies, typically between 5 and 5:30pm Saturday/Sunday - visits with Mom and Dad Tutoring was very fun; we looked up a college I want to go to (Landmark College in Putney, VT), researched about the FAFSA, Financial Aid, COVID-19 information (even though I won't be attending college until 2022), and other things, and we will research more about the college and college in general on Wednesday, November 18, 2020 at 4:30pm. It was great and ...

Yesterday, on Friday, November 13, 2020, (Friday the 13th 😈) I went bowling with Julie at Spare Time in Northampton, and had fun! We left the house around 3:15pm and got to the bowling center (as they want to be called now, being bright and clean, rather than alleys, which are dark and dirty) around 3:30pm and we bowled 2 strings and left around 4:30pm and had a great time. Here are some pictures and videos from the experience. First, the pictures: Slow day... Entrance to Spare Time. Social distancing reminder, in a unique way. COVID-19 notice sign. Sadly, it's not summer anymore, although it really felt like it Monday (11/9/20) and Tuesday (11/10/20) with temperatures around 75 both days. Just what I like to see! Welcome back notice. When both of your scores are the same: 47 and 47. Both scores have 2 of the same number: 55 and 66. One of my best games to date, 119 points (out of 300), fueled by 3 spares with a 9 at the start of the frames. (9 / , 9 /, 9 /) My record was around 1...
