Week 16 My Year in Review

January- I was dealing with bullying still around this time and I had just gotten home from my Christmas Vacation from Texas. I joined Musically this month. I met a good friend of mine this month, his name is Noah.

February- We had class games and spirit week for homecoming this month. I went to the lock in with my boyfriend. It was valentines day this month and track started this month.

March- My first track meet was this month of the year. I got new glasses this month and was definitely scared of what people would think but most people seemed to like them.

April- My birthday was this month. I had Sydney, Joe, David, and Paige there.

May- School ended this month. Prom and the lock in was also this month. That was amazing. Sectionals for track was this month and I didnt make it to state sadly. Finals blew this month as well. My Boyfriend also graduated this month

June- I got my wisdom teeth taken out this month. That was an experience. I also got my first cavity this month as well.

July- This month marks 1 year that I adopted my cat. I also got my first job this month (Laundry ACHE)

August- I got my second job this month (Housekeeper Snyder). Brody and I layed under the stars til 2/3am watching the meteor shower.

September- I got my third job this month (Activities Assist. ACHE) and quit Snyders.

October- I got my senior pictures done this month.

November- My one year anniversary with Brody happened.

December- It's Christmas time this month and that's pretty exciting in general. I spent way too much money on my boyfriend this money in general because of his birthday and Christmas but thats okay. I also dont have to take any of my finals and I'm pretty stoked about that.

Week 15 Extreme Decorations

I don't remember what the most extreme is but I know a lot of people go crazy with lights. I was driving to Washington the other day and I looked off to my right where all the houses are and one house in particular that you literally cant miss had their WHOLE house covered in lights. It was absolutely unnecessarily and I wonder what their electrical bill is like.
I also see a lot of people with those lights that go on houses with the dots or the moving pictures and I honestly hate those. I think they're dumb and a waste of money. I mean, if you have one so be it but I wont do that.
I do know that people in Texas like to decorate. Most wrap lights around the base of the trees.
I love Christmas, don't get me wrong but I don't think I want too many lights and decorations. I think my favorite decorations are like the greenery and garlands.

Week 14 I dont accept..

It’s another typical day here at Washburn. The bell just rang, and English is over, so I head over to my locker to switch my books. But wait…something’s not right...where’d this manila envelope come from? I'd received a top secret mission from…well, who? FBI? CIA? MIB? I opened it up and its this massive mission to defeat the idiotic president and take him down. I vaguely skim the writing and it was that we meet in St. Louis, get on a plane to Pennyslvania in a remote area where a secret base is and start heading for the White House. It said that we will start our chain of attacks and restore peace. I ripped the mission up and went on with my life.

Week 13 Family Traditions...

We don't have many family traditions other than to be with your family on the holidays. Sometimes for Easter, we make Cascarones, a Spanish word for confetti eggs, where you slam the eggs on a persons head. Its supposed to bring the person good luck. We would do them some years and others we wouldn't. I feel like, I'd make holiday traditions for my future family. Something really fun and to look forward to each year. Traditions where my family wants to invite their friends and whatnot. Not just confined to family all the time. I feel like bringing more families and friends together, can inspire other family traditions and brings a way happier time/ideas than dealing with Aunt Debby's attitude the whole thanksgiving. (I don't actually have an aunt named that lol)

Week 12 The best advice I've given..

I don't really know the worst advice people have given me. When I'm in need, all people really say is sorry. Or I don't know what to say, and I ask a lot of people/friends. I don't know if my situations are just too tricky for them to help or understand what I'm saying.
But often when I help people, I always tell people "Don't give up."
Not in the sense that if its meant to be, its meant to be. I don't believe in that. I do think things should come naturally and you shouldn't trick someone but sometimes you have to work for something you want. Not everything in this world is peaches and cream. If you just give up in life, you're walking on yourself. What? You want it and you're just gonna give up just like that? Then you obviously didn't want it that bad. You cant throw a pity party for yourself and expect things to be done for you all the time. Because, if you were in the "real world" without being able to run home to your parents, you'll be taken advantage of / walked over / looked down upon A LOT.
I still tell myself that to this day. It may not be something you think/believe but its something that's been pushing me to go on for about 4 years now.
