welcome

Welcome to this blog and thank you for visiting!

My name is Jordan and I'm a 17 Senior in high school living in the northern suburbs of Chicago. I've created this blog as part of an English assignment, but I've been blogging independently about fashion and my life in general for the past 2.5 years.

This blog is a place for me to develop my writing skills, as well as address current issues. The thought behind the title "Mood" is the idea that when you walk into a room, you can usually feel the mood of it. This idea isn't just limited to a room or how you feel, but you can also talk about the mood of a country's economy or the mood of the National Football League for example. I plan on addressing both of these topics throughout this year. I'm sure my opinion will sneak its way into some posts as well. For another class, we've been assigned a country to keep tabs on throughout the year and I've been assigned Vietnam, so I'm also going to try to incorporate that into some posts.

Some topics I plan on addressing other than those mentioned above are:

  • The Stigma of Depression
  • Ebola
  • The Middle East
  • Poetry
  • The College Application Process
  • The Materialism of Holidays

These are just things that are rolling around in my head right now, who knows where we'll be in June!

I hope that this I can keep this blog on track and not only address topics that are current, but are also interesting for you. Although this blog may cover a variety of topics, I hope to keep everything connected with the idea of mood and also use this "lens" to delve deeper into aspects of topics that I may not have noticed otherwise.

I hope you enjoy this journey (was that too cheesy? I think yes) with me.

  1. Jordan--I think you've got a great point when you say that you can enter a room and instantly feel the mood. I'm excited to see where this blog takes you, especially when it comes to the Middle East.
    I'm curious to see how you'll take the pulse of certain events and discuss the mood of an economy. Does a "happy" economy mean one that's on an uphill swing, or one that perhaps is stagnant, but is maintaining the peaceful status quo?
    Looking forward to seeing where this blog takes you!
