If I had to give a high school student advice on how to be successful, it would be to stay positive. Even when something seems tough or almost impossible, there is always a way. Many times students stress themselves out when thinking of all the homework they have to do or any tests coming up. We all have gotten homework where we had to stay up all night at one point. We probably thought we wouldn't finish it on time, but we still did.
Tests are even more stressful. Some classes it seems like the tests take forever and that we won't do so well on it. We should always stay positive and think that the test will turn out well. If we think that we will do bad on a test, we most likely will. That's just how it works. If we go in to take the test positively and stress-free, we'll do the best that we possibly can.

Apple iWatch doesn't scare Pebble
The article can be found at http://money.cnn.com/2013/02/11/technology/innovation/apple-watch-pebble/index.html
I really like how so many big companies are getting into the trend of making "smart watches". I think it's a really cool new gadget and helpful. It has many different features. Some are for cycling, controlling your music, running, finding the range for golfing, cool watch faces, caller id, and email and alerts. All you do is connect it through Bluetooth with your phone. It is actually really easy and quick to set it up.
In the article, they talk about how Apple wants to make it's own "smart watch". I don't mind companies competing against each other, because it will only benefit the consumer. They say that the Apple smart watch will have a curved glass display. If anything, Apple would actually bring more customers to other companies, because a huge advertisement would make more people aware of such a gadget. Overall, I found this article very informative. I didn't know that smart watches were capable of so many things. I might end up buying one in the future.

My School
I think Gordon Tech made a good decision by becoming a co-ed high school. This change was mostly positive, but also had some negatives to it. Even though now we also have girls' sports, we are not as competitive in all the sports as we used to be. If you look at all our plaques and trophies, they were mostly from the times that we were an all-boys school. Another negative is a loss in students. It might have just been a coincidence, but we have lost a huge amount of people since Gordon was an all-boys school.
Even though there are those negatives, I still believe it was a good change. Before, the students were used to talking with guys every day and with girls only after school or on weekends. Now, we get to talk with girls and have classes with them everyday, so we get used to seeing girls more often in our lives. That means we are better off socially as a co-ed school. My overall view is that we should stay co-ed.

My TWO favorite Super Bowl Commercials
Alright, I couldn't choose my favorite Super Bowl commercial, because I liked two. I really enjoyed the Doritos commercial with the goat and the Sketchers commercial with the gazelle. I found the Doritos one really funny and I think it would make any viewer laugh. I also liked the Sketchers commercial, because it was a pretty well planned commercial and funny at the same time. They both relate to a good website, because they keep the viewer interested and have a good visual appearance. They are also both easy to understand, just like a good website should be easy to navigate.

Rumor: An iPhone Priced At $99 to $199 Could Launch In 2013
The article talks about how a new iPhone that might come out soon would only be priced at $99 - $199. I think this is a good idea for us consumers, but bad for their company. It's true that they will probably get more customers after lowering their price by so much, but overall they won't make as much money. To us, it's a good thing. We are getting a very advanced smartphone for not more than $200. At the same time, Android phones will try to compete by lowering their prices. In the end, the consumers will be the winners, because we will have many choices of good phones and for a good price.
