ICYMI Challenge(2)
Five Points Five Points follows five students at a South Side, Chicago high school who experience a life-changing event from different points of view, with each perspective being necessary to help understand the truth. This is a great show, you can see why each character does what they do. Even the "bad ones" You feel for them. Each story is told really well and each actor played out their role amazingly. This intense teen drama tells a good story while highlighting some of the major pressures high school students face on a day-to-day basis. It points to some difficult problems teens deal with, including prescription drug dealing, gun violence, homelessness, and the need to overachieve, but presents them in ways that highlight the complicated reasons why certain decisions are made, and why these problems aren't easily resolved. I would highly recommend five points to any teenager because this show can be easily relatable for that age range and I just like how it’s a show about social awareness. This show is a web series and can only be watched on Facebook Watch.

Cartoons: A way to salvation
We are in a trivial time. There, I said it! We are in a time where some of us are surprised with the level of intolerance, fear and apathy that have quietly rampaged around us others are not so surprised. (Black people know but the rest of the populations of America and the globe didn’t. Who knew?) I don’t bring these very obvious points of understanding up to ruin your day, time or riddle your mind with discomfort. Nor did I bring those points up to preach to you and anyone else under the cybersky who just so happens to surf on by and find me standing on a soapbox. No, I bring this to your attention to reiterate that some things haven’t changed. (As if you didn’t know already) and I offer a very passive way to a solution: Cartoons. Hear me out on this: Cartoons have been the birthplace of fun and laughter for generations. The innocent voices behind cartoons set back the forces of division one way whenever we caught them on Saturday mornings and when times and understandings underwent a change Cartoons changed with them. Disney, for instance, underwent drastic changes to offer love, warmth and fuzzy heart side effects when you watch shorts like Bao or TV shows like That’s so Raven and The proud family. Disney brought those shows into to our homes to remind us all of the diversity that exists amongst us locally and globally. Cartoons always seem to have this way of diving deep underneath our defenses against things we just didn’t quite understand and we needed that canopy of infantile whimsy to take us outside of our fear and into happiness that just lasts for years. Somehow , in more ways than none, we’ve forgotten that joy feels like, coming into adulthood made us leave those memories behind or force us to pass cartoons off as just child’s entertainment that you outgrew overall. Unless of course you stumble on the Cartoon channel but who does that anymore? Am I right? I know I stopped doing that a long time ago.(Except when The Incredibles 2 came out, I know I shoved somebody’s kid out of the way to be first in line when that came out at the box office.) What all I’m trying to say is this: What if cartoons are the way to the most gentle, harmless re-education that we could all use?

Here’s Some Reality TV To Binge
1. The 90 Day Fiance Franchise 90 Day Fiance has several options to choose from 90 Day Fiance is about people who have met people in other countries, either online or in person, and want to marry them, so there’s a whole legal process to apply for and get a marriage visa, then once they get the marriage visa and come to the US they have 90 days to get married before the non-citizen gets deported. So that’s 90 day fiance. Always delivers the drama you crave, not gonna lie it’s easy to understand why a lot of these people have to date someone they don’t have to meet for a long time and doesn’t know any of the same people as them.

The Art of Chill: Stimulants
1. Watching TV "Watching TV spoils your brain" is a familiar, yet science-based warning of our parents. There have been many studies on excessively-exposed-to-TV children's brains, demonstrating changes in both structure and reactants (still, we can't leap to a conclusion whether it's abnormal or detrimental). Since as a considerable number of other surveys have also identified how over-watching TV is related to violence and antisocial trends.
