It’s crazy to look back on events that have occurred in my life and think, Dang, I remember that or Dude, that was a hella long time ago. I never really believed anyone when they first told me that high school goes by quickly and to therefore enjoy it. But now that I’m in the second semester of my junior year, I’m finding it to be more true now than it ever was. Honestly, I love high school. Despite all the stupid things I let myself go through and all the unnecessary drama that unraveled, I know that all the experiences I have gone through have made me who I am today. It’s cliche, but high school really shows you who you are, what you’re capable of, and who will be by your side through thick and thin.
Another reason why I’ve enjoyed my high school career so far is because of the activities my school holds for the student body. From night assemblies to sports games, to lunchtime activities and talent shows—my school has a lot to offer and I wish more students took the opportunity to attend these events because we were so close to having them stripped away from us. Honestly, it really bothers me when there are those kids who are like, “Nah this is stupid” or have that I’m-too-cool-to-participate attitude. I wish they could see how much our ASB and leadership class work their butts off to hold these events.
Anyways, back to my main point.. Just thinking about everything that has happened in the last three years is so indescribable. Because here I am, thinking about what classes to take next year and what to do with my life after being a senior.
To all you underclassmen, I know you hear it all the time, but just enjoy high school. Don’t try to grow up too fast and always work hard at everything you do. Forget the drama because honestly, no one is going to care about the stupid arguments how many years from now. Take every opportunity that’s in front of you and never give up on yourself. Never be afraid to try something new, because you never know: it could become something you develop a passion for. And most importantly, don’t forget to be true to yourself because no matter what other people think of you, all that matters is that you’re happy with who you are.
Honestly, what is the point of coming to me for advice when you don’t even really listen to a word I say? Sure, you may hear the words coming out of my mouth, but you don’t listen. I tell you things in order to help the situation you’re in, and you blow it off like it’s nothing because it’s not what you want to hear. That makes me feel like you take me for granted and I’m getting really fed up with it.
Here’s the video of me asking my boyfriend to Sadies :)
So I created a whole lunchtime activity just to ask him.
Everyone who helped knew that I was asking him, so I’m glad it worked out :) The object of the game was to have the classes “compete” by having them find scrambled letters one by one in a box and sticking them onto a piece of felt. Once they found all their letters, they would then unscramble the phrase which would say, “Isaac will you go to” and I bust out with a poster saying “Sadies with me?” Haha. I told Isaac that I “forgot” the easel on which to hold the felt and asked him to do a favor for me by holding it instead.
One day of planning, $24 worth of materials for the lunchtime activity, 12 helpers, and a whole priceless reaction from him later.. I got myself a date to Sadies ;)
One day of planning, 12 helpers, $24 worth of materials to create the whole lunchtime activity, and his priceless reaction made this the best first time of me asking someone to Sadies ;)
I don’t think you know how much you mean to me. I could try to transcribe my thoughts into coherent words to the best of my ability, but I guess no combination of letters could ever describe how I feel about you. No matter what I do, I still believe that I can try even harder to make you even happier. You only want the simplest of things from me and I admire that, but if I could, I would give you the whole world. I guess what I’m trying to say is, I honestly am really in love with you and never ever want you to question that.
It’s so funny watching my dad watch the playoffs. He’s screaming his head off and screaming so loud that he keeps drinking water every 5 seconds hahahaha.
