The homework has been crazy this week.

I have been stressed out.

But I only have to think about Christmas cookies and all the worries just fade away.

Work it, Santa.  You got it goin on.

Christmas

Christmas is coming so fast.  I can't believe it.  It'll be said to see this year go.  But hey, there's always another year.  I really hope 2012 doesn't kill me, literally. Ha!

Mainstream

It's kind of funny how mainstream American music has become. But with this cliche comes some bands like Foster the People who give mainstream music a more techno, original feel which is very refreshing to listeners who don't want to know about someones Last Friday Night. Just the other day, I was jamming on my way to school and this new Katy Perry song came on (i couldn't even tell you the name) and it sounded like some other song that had already been created. The beat so common, the lyrics so unoriginal. Pop music in America has become like a pair of white dirty socks-- simple and used.

“If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there.”

It's easy to get caught up in life.  In its quirks, its miracles, its disasters.  It's easy to be swayed by judgement from the people around you and the hate that some project into the world.  But why get caught up when there's a beautiful world out there just ready to explore? Maybe it's because we don't have enough patience.  Maybe its because were discouraged or afraid or unwilling to take the next step.  But why live life afraid?  Those who live afraid of the world and its problems are those who are unsure of their path in life.  And the path of fear leads to nothing good.  Those who walk that path encounter crime, drugs, and others who aren't sure of themselves.  Why do so many find that path the rewarding one?  Life is hard.  Yes, it is, and I would be lying to you if I said anything other than that.  But excitement should fill our hearts and souls not fearfulness.  The more we concentrate on keeping our heads clear and our chins up, the more rewarding life will be for us.

Breaking... What?

New Twilight movie is out.  It will be the biggest thing for a year...? Oops, probably not.  Breaking Dawn is Part 1. Meaning that there will be a new one by Christmas.  Sweet.  Wow, Stephanie Meyer.  You are rich.

Ruts...

Why does every single teenager seem to be depressed?  Why do all these people think that their life is so crazy hard when actually its pretty damn good?  Hey, people, next time you start to feel bad over something really unimportant, Google Africa.  Thanks!

Really?!

A fire drill in the pouring rain.  Really, Lake Central? I hope I don't die of pneumonia. 

B-Town

Just this past weekend, I went down to Bloomington, the home of Indiana University.  Just thought I'd share that this college's campus is so beautiful and I can hardly wait the three years I have to complete to attend! Go Hoosiers! :)

A day to remember...

Standing up with a large yawn, I got up from my kitchen table. Pondering the day I had just experienced, one with obnoxious, hormonal teenagers and classes that seemed to last as long as a decade, caused me a slight headache and aching muscles, longing for a nap.  Trudging up to my bedroom, my eyes wandered over to my dad, who was emersed in his iPhone 4.  "Hey, dad, where's mom?" I asked.  "Oh, uh, she's at the hospital with grandma.  I thought mom told you... Grandpa fell while they were out.  The ambulance had to come get him." My color was instantly washed from my face.  I stood, my mouth gaping open, unaware of where I was, but the constant beep of the oven timer announcing that food was ready, caused me to snap back into reality.  "What..." I trailed off.  I had lost the ability to form words... There was no words I could say that would make any of it better,anyways. My grandpa was diagnosed with cancer in 2003, so the shock of going go the hospital wasn't too "shocking" for lack of a better word. Still, the significance of it hit me hard. My mom came home late that night, and my grandma came home with her. The next few days were followed with knotted stomachs amd wrinkled brows, just hoping that he would be alright. The day came. My grandpa returned home on October 13, 2011. A day that was highly anticipated.

Oh the chicas these days…

Tip 2: Beware of the nice girls. Most girls like to watch others fall. Not all but a good amount. Question girls' motives for being nicey-nice. All in all, watch out for the ones you aren't too sure about. Being cautious about that kind of stuff always pays off.

A Tip a Day

1.  When walking by someone who says something crazy that you really want to repeat, do not repeat. Most of the time, they will hear you.  Especially when it's a huge guy that looks like he can beat the life out of you. Even if he says, "Aye Jerraye!" Tempting, yes. But not worth getting your butt kicked.
