Week 30 Senior Wills

If I had to leave a will for the Juniors, I would give them the rest of my "oomf" for senior year. It's more than what they have anyways. They all have senioritis and need to slow down and be respectful. Just like in art with oil paints. A little goes a long ways. So that's one of the things I'm willing to them. The second thing I'm willing to them is an ounce of my respect. I think that will benefit most of them for the so fact that most of them are disrespectful to a lot of teachers and students. The third thing I'm willing to will to them is a little bit of knowledge. I think that if I willed this to them, they wouldn't cheat as much off one person. Their grades would also be higher if they actually took the time to learn instead of cheat. The last thing I'm willing them is some common sense. I think if they even had the tiniest amount, it'll benefit this entire nation. I think some of the teachers kind of enjoy their presence, but I think if they have all of this, they'll enjoy their presence even more.

Week 29: Words from the wise

Dear Juniors: Class of 2019,
       Greetings. If any of you are actually reading this somehow, and I hope that you are, I wanted to give you some advice for senior year.
       #1- Have fun. While you do have one year, it does go by pretty fast. Enjoy it while you can. I am writing this on 4/20 (hahah blaze it, jk) which means I have exactly one month left. It seems like a while ago I was counting down 8 months, then 7 months etc. Make do with what you have while it lasts. Some of you will still be with each other after high school, going to the same school. Some of you however, will be leaving for good. Make friends, make memories, and have fun.
       #2- Do your work. While you do have one year left, DO YOUR WORK. Don't fall behind. If you're like me, you would have had senioritis already. When I was a junior, towards the end of my year, I was getting senioritis watching my boyfriend graduate. In all reality, most of you technically wont be done with school. Think about it, you still have college. That mentality mostly helped me get through this year. Help yourselves and your teachers, don't fall behind, and do your work.
       #3- Be on time. Ya'll have a senior trip at the end of your year. You need to make sure you don't get too many tardies and you don't miss too much school. This also follows doing your work and senioritis, just show up to school, cause you will miss something from high school. Make do with what you have and help yourselves.
       #4- College and scholarships. DO THEM. Apply apply apply. DO IT EARLY. Trust me, its so hard to try to get it done later. If you apply to college early, great. Even if you don't know what you want to do. Scholarship wise, DO THEM ALLLLLL. Get as much money as you can. You'll need it.
       #5- This will be tiny things to help you.
                                         - Music: For me, being emotional as I am, this helped me SO MUCH in general throughout high school as a whole.
                                         - Gum: This is great after lunch when ya'll have nasty breath. You wont get  weird looks and people wont mind talking to you cause you wont be gross.
                                         - SHOWER: At times, you will go through lazy phases, but if you wake up and take a shower each morning or the night before, you will feel a lot fresher and be more prepared. Even dress up nicely.
                                         - Treat yo'self: Once in a while, you really do need to treat yourself thoughout senior year. You're a hard worker. You have a job, some might have sports or the play or other activities. Go with a couple other tense friends and treat yourself a little.
                                         - DO NOT DROP OUT: I can not express that enough. I don't care how tough things get, don't drop out. The long term is gonna cost more than the short term. Just finish your schooling. You have less than one year. Do your work and be done.
       Finally, this is your last year. Finish it well. Good luck! I'm here if ya'll need help.

Week 28 Dream room

If I got to create my own room, it'd def be next to my bedroom. It would be pretty big. I wouldn't let my family into it because my brother would respect my stuff and is so rude all the time. My parents don't really play video games. I would obviously and let my friends in it, but yeah. My room would consist of many game systems, merchandise and collectibles from my favorite games and shows, lots of cool neon lights and comfy furniture and food machines. It'd be the best hangout place ever and everyone would want to go in it. I would also get the top of the top notch insurance and insure that entire room so if it got destroyed, I'd get reimbursed.

Week 27 Child terrors

When I was really little, like 5ish, I lived in Iowa for a short period of time with my grandpa and parents. I remember being asleep one night and My grandpa had this wool owl hanging up in his house. I swore above all ends it was Snuffleupagus. I was terrified of this beady eyed monster. Imagine being 5 years old and waking up to this. Not a fun experience. I didn't notice it before but I definitely noticed it then. Clearly, I'm not scared of it now, but sometimes I wonder if I look at it long enough, I'll see Snuffleupagus again.


 

Week 26 Geekin' It Out

I'm geeky about Kingdom Hearts and Naruto as you all know. I also really like art and photography as you all also know.

Kingdom Hearts- I have been into Kingdom Hearts since I was little. Kingdom Hearts has always been a fun game for me. Awkwardly, I played the 2nd one before the 1st one. But I was absolutely in love with the 2nd one. I started making art/ buying merch. I probably have over $500-$1000 worth of merchandise.

Naruto- I've also been into Naruto since I was really little. Recently, I watched Naruto (220 episodes) I watched it in less than a year. Then in the last year, I started Naruto Shippuuden (500 episodes). I've only seen 203 episodes. There are a ton of other spin offs I haven't seen, but the next larger episode series is Boruto which is Naruto's son's story. My goal is to finish Shippuuden by graduation, but I don't think I will be able to. I have 325 episodes to finish at 20 minutes each. I also have a few movies to watch for shippuuden as well. I don't have as much merch from Naruto but I definitely have art I made.

Art- I really got into art around 12 years old. I started drawing comics and I didn't shade or anything. Then, when I took my art class in 7th/8th grade, I was introduced to shading. Then in high school I got into different medias/mediums. Today, I can do paintings and shade in grayscale, I can shade in drawings very well, I can blend great in watercolors. I am semi-okay at clay. I yet to explore oil paints, gel, textured etc.

Photography- Photography is something that I've been so into, ever since a little before Stephen showed me it back in like 2014. I first used my old pink off brand iPod back in 2012/2013. Then I bought a regular iPod 5 in 2014 and started using that. He let me borrow his camera for me to use one time, and I took SO many pictures. Eventually, I gave it back after a week of two and then we broke up. About a year or 2 after we broke up, we got back in contact again and he had told me that he lost his camera or it didn't work or something and he found it/fixed it, whatever and all my pictures I took and our homecoming pictures and mine and his first nature journey were still on the memory card. It was fun. Since then, I got a Cannon camera of my own and I take a TON of pictures.
