The amount of history the region possesses is so intricate and that's something I find cool. Out of all of the countries in Europe, Germany is the one I would like to visit the most though.]]> 2023-08-31 21:38:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jpdepalma1001_2/r3aanncr40soct81/wish/2680344108 jpdepalma1001_2 https://padlet.com/jpdepalma1001_2/r3aanncr40soct81/wish/2680350785 Geography has always been something I like to learn about. Looking at maps of just about anything fascinates me. I also love history and learning about the past because I feel a huge portion of it connects to the present and I find it worthwhile to learn history.]]> 2023-08-31 21:51:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jpdepalma1001_2/r3aanncr40soct81/wish/2680350785 jpdepalma1001_2 https://padlet.com/jpdepalma1001_2/r3aanncr40soct81/wish/2680352980 Metallica is one of my favorite bands at the moment. I like a lot of different artists and bands but I mostly enjoy older stuff from the 60s to early 2000s. I recently went to the Metallica concert in Los Angeles last weekend and it was very memorable. The song attached above is from the album "Ride the Lightning" and it is one of my favorite songs by Metallica.]]> 2023-08-31 21:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jpdepalma1001_2/r3aanncr40soct81/wish/2680352980 jpdepalma1001_2 https://padlet.com/jpdepalma1001_2/r3aanncr40soct81/wish/2680361698 I collect CDs. This became an interest of mine right around the start of freshman year when I stumbled upon my dad's old CD collection in the attic. I felt inspired to collect them so since then I have started collecting CDs of my own. I have visited various record stores within Orange County and I have ordered some online. I do have a record player and listen to these on a daily basis. From my last count I had about 75 CDs but now it is most likely around 80.]]> 2023-08-31 22:15:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jpdepalma1001_2/r3aanncr40soct81/wish/2680361698 jpdepalma1001_2 https://padlet.com/jpdepalma1001_2/r3aanncr40soct81/wish/2680366581 A lot of the men in my family play golf and I was introduced to the sport at a young age, now making it one of my favorite hobbies. I have been on the WHS golf team for 3 seasons, this upcoming Spring being my forth, and I have been the team captain for the past 2 seasons.]]> 2023-08-31 22:25:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jpdepalma1001_2/r3aanncr40soct81/wish/2680366581 jpdepalma1001_2 https://padlet.com/jpdepalma1001_2/r3aanncr40soct81/wish/2680369152 My mom's side of the family lives in Colorado, and I visit annually. The nature is beautiful and I like to hike in the mountains when I visit. I plan on moving there eventually but I am unsure if I want to attend college there or stay in state.]]> 2023-08-31 22:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jpdepalma1001_2/r3aanncr40soct81/wish/2680369152 jpdepalma1001_2 https://padlet.com/jpdepalma1001_2/r3aanncr40soct81/wish/2680371217 Chess is a fairly new hobby of mine, I only got into it last year, but I really like the game. I am not the best chess player at all, in fact I would say I am pretty bad, but I really enjoy it. The critical thinking, planning, and decision making involved in the game makes it a lot more complex and interesting opposed to mindlessly rolling a dice and moving a piece from square to square.]]> 2023-08-31 22:34:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jpdepalma1001_2/r3aanncr40soct81/wish/2680371217 jpdepalma1001_2 https://padlet.com/jpdepalma1001_2/r3aanncr40soct81/wish/2680706715 I really admire art. The painting above is one of my favorite artworks titled "Stanczyk". Something about the painting fills me with an emotion of misery and anxiety, which may be bad, but I have never felt more from a painting. I am not a huge fan of the modern art seen nowadays because I don't feel anything from looking at a couple dots on a white canvas.]]> 2023-09-01 04:08:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jpdepalma1001_2/r3aanncr40soct81/wish/2680706715 jpdepalma1001_2 https://padlet.com/jpdepalma1001_2/r3aanncr40soct81/wish/2680711021 My family used to be passholders to Disneyland and we went a lot. I didn't really value it as much when I was younger, but as I've grown older I've started to realize what amazing memories I have made at Disneyland. I don't go as often as I would like to anymore and we are no longer passholders, but we do go once in a while and each time I go it is always more appreciative than the last.]]> 2023-09-01 04:13:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jpdepalma1001_2/r3aanncr40soct81/wish/2680711021 jpdepalma1001_2 https://padlet.com/jpdepalma1001_2/r3aanncr40soct81/wish/2680731203 Astrophotography is another minor passion of mine. I am not a professional in the slightest but I am trying to improve my camera-operating ability. I have taken images of the moon (countless times), the stars, the sun, and other aerial phenomena that I observe. Something about the vastness of the sky really fascinates me. ]]> 2023-09-01 04:38:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jpdepalma1001_2/r3aanncr40soct81/wish/2680731203
