Welcome to the awkward point in the semester between breaks. If you’re feeling in a slump and need a pick-me-up, try one of the activities here.
Read The
Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis.
A classic among children’s literature, this story is perhaps the most popular
of the seven-book series. This book follows the four Pevensie children, Peter,
Susan, Edmund and Lucy, as they step into the magical world of Narnia. There,
they find a land frozen in winter for many years and ruled by the White Witch.
When rumors of a prophecy spread in Narnia, the Pevensie children are thrown
into an adventure they never expected to have.
Listen to i’m so tired by Troye Sivan and Lauv.
With Ring by Spring slowly coming true and seeing couples enjoying the warming
weather together, love can be a little annoying. Troye Sivan agrees, with a
song in which he talks about being tired of love songs after the end of a
relationship. The frustration he sings of feels all too real when matched with
the punchy beat of the music.
Watch Miraculous
Ladybug on Netflix.
Ever wanted to watch a cartoon from a different country? Miraculous Ladybug is a French cartoon that was translated into
English. The plot follows Ladybug, a superhero who appears whenever villains
threaten Paris. Fighting next to her is Cat Noir, another superhero living in
the city. Outside of their hero duties, Ladybug and Cat Noir are normal
students trying to fit in with their peers and juggle their personal lives with
hero’s work. If you like cheesy puns and bad pickup lines, this is the cartoon
for you.
Watch Joseph,
King of Dreams.
One of the few Christian films made by a secular animation company to be
successful, this film has become a classic among Christian families. The story
follows Joseph, son of Jacob, from being sold into slavery to saving all of
Egypt from a famine. Not only does this animated film display a beautiful range
of earth-toned colors, it also features songs that enhance the story and make
the experience more meaningful.
Attend the Footprintz and Acclamation Dance Concerts.
