Occipital lobe---> Breaking bad

8039987 — 2025-04-10 00:00:40 UTC

The occipital lobe is in charge of your sight and allows your brain to process what you see. I use the occipital lobe to enjoy my favorite, and the best show ever, Breaking bad.

Hippocampus----> Meatheads burgers

8039987 — 2025-04-10 00:01:38 UTC

The hippocampus' main purpose is to preserve our memories over a long period of time. A way that I know mine is good is because I remember when I was super little, I used to go to Meatheads in Naperville all the time, I haven't been there in years, but because of the hippocampus,s I can almost taste the burger when picturing it.

Temporal lobe-----> rock music

8039987 — 2025-04-10 00:02:37 UTC

Without the temporal lobe, I wouldn't be able to listen to my favorite genre. This is because the temporal lobes' main focus is to process audio, I wouldn't be able to listen to Foo Fighters, Kings of Leon, Creed, etc.

Hypothalamus----> Dubai

8039987 — 2025-04-10 00:03:38 UTC

With the hypothalamus managing body temperature, and me living in Illinois, I wasn't used to insane heat. So when I went to places like Dubai, I wasn't adjusted to the heat and humidity. Going to resorts, top of the Burj Khalifa, deep sea fishing, etc. But the thing I remember most is how much I'd be sweating from the humid heat.

Amygdala---->The hole in my wall

8039987 — 2025-04-10 00:04:27 UTC

The amygdala is in charge of managing emotions, with the most impactful one being anger. One time when I was playing Rainbow Six Siege, I died right away. And I got up and kicked the wall and my mom got mad at me.

Medulla Oblongata ------> Video games

8039987 — 2025-04-10 00:05:41 UTC

This brain part is in control of your heartbeat and breathing, and when I am playing video games, and am in an intense situation. Like a 1v1, or top 5, or whatever. I notice my heart beats fast, and I breathe heavier

Wernicke's area ---- first words

8039987 — 2025-04-10 00:06:59 UTC

The Wernicke's area is in control of not your speech, but the muscle movements involved in it. Without it, you wouldn't be able to articulate your words whatsoever. I don't remember it, but my mom tells me my first words were in a grocery store. I pointed at bubbles on the wall and said "ba-bul", making the connection between the word and comprehending the meaning.

Cerebellum ----> Breaking my arm

8039987 — 2025-04-10 00:08:06 UTC

The cerebellum is in charge of balance and keeping you upright while doing difficult tasks. In 8th grade, during the last football game of the season, I was running a route and got held. I got swung around and thrown to the ground while sticking my arms out. I broke both bones in my forearm because I fell off balance.

Dopamine -----> Trading

8039987 — 2025-04-10 00:10:08 UTC

Dopamine is a chemical that helps make you feel good, it works with learning and motivation to do things. Trading is one of many things I picked up for the fun of it, just because I like to learn new things. This is probably because of dopamine getting released when I get good at things I'm interested in.

Serotonin ----> Cooking

8039987 — 2025-04-10 00:10:38 UTC

Serotonin, like dopamine, helps with happiness, but mostly just the rewarding part too. When I make really yummy food and everyone likes it, it makes me really happy and makes me feel good because of serotonin.

Skill or hobby -----> trading

8039987 — 2025-04-10 17:01:27 UTC

This skill I've been doing can make me good money and is also fun. Learning this at a young age puts me a little bit ahead of everybody else and I can start building my capital.

Physical activity -----> gym

8039987 — 2025-04-10 17:03:45 UTC

After quitting football, I haven't found a sport I love as I loved football. And with high school running out of time, I need to find something to keep me physically active. Which can be achieved by going to the gym and increasing my strength and endurance.

Unhealthy diet ------> Fast food

8039987 — 2025-04-10 17:05:45 UTC

I eat WAY too much fast food, McDonalds, Culvers, etc. It's all so unhealthy but so good. I always have a stomach ache afterwards and I'd really like to stop

Healthy diet

8039987 — 2025-04-10 17:06:46 UTC

I want to start eating more fruits and veggies, I'm on a pure carbs and sugar diet right now. My stomach like always hurts.
