Off to Do Much Bigger and Better Things

It feels just like yesterday when you were playing hide-and-go-seek tag with them. Making homemade forts with them. Playing Dance Dance Revolution with them.

But today, the realization hits you hard. They're gone. They're off into the unknown. The only weapon they have to combat the forces of this unforeseen entity is the small knowledge they have about the future.

As of 10 am this morning, my brother leaves for college. He's been my guide, my mentor, my words of wisdom. He's not gone forever, they tell me. But a week without him here feels like 20 years. He's my shoulder to lean on. My comic relief. My high school counselor.

Despite the tearful farewell I bid him today before leaving school, I couldn't be more proud and happy of him and what he's done. He deserves to enjoy those 4 years at LMU. Deserves to see the world by himself.

He's off to bigger and better things...

First Car

I have been looking forward to buying my first car since I was about 8 years old. Now, that it has come time, I have found that it is a lot harder than just going to a car dealership and purchasing a used car. First off, a used car is more logical, due to the fact that there more than 1.6million car accidents involving teens each year. I also find that it would be more reasonable to buy a used car that is not too expensive, because what if you are involved in an accident, all the money is then wasted. However, when looking at used vehicles a lot of them have so many miles that they pose the threat of just breaking down in a year or two. Another negative. Therefore, I have yet to find the perfect car. But, I won't stop searching.

Those punks...

So i've lived in Rocklin for about 6 years. Normally I never had a problem with the town until I started freshman year because i finally opened my eyes. Apart from the nice houses and neighborhoods, thething that pisses me off most are the wannabe, egotistical, scooter riding whiteboys. Honestly, how is Rocklin a ghetto? The cheapest houses are 400 grand. Oh so you dress with a tall tees and khaki pants, big whoop, you own a smartphone and live in a less than 20 year old 2 floor house. Ok you fail your classes and think you have the hard life. There are people in the 3rd world who can't afford clean water or school. Scooters are for kids, and when you act like you're a gangster, and you're the world, you only piss everyone else in Rocklin just a little bit more.

"Let's Go Freshman, Let's Go......"

Everybody watch out, for the freshman class this year is taking control of the campus...I thought last years freshman class was huge, at the first day assembly I was hit with a revelation. Hundreds of confused 14/15 year olds charged through every one of the 4 gymnasium doors like bulls in a ring. My jaw dropped, as well as the jaws of my friends and peers. They crowded the bleachers, pushing the senior class back to the far corner. What's great though, is they still didn't win the Welcome Back rally; the majority of them were too embarrassed to stand and cheer.
Anger bombarded the Junior class when Hannah Feliz announced the Seniors victory. Three quarters of our class were terrorized with jealousy, little do the other classes know...we are seeking vengeance, we have a vendetta for victory!!!

I Love the Human Race, It's People I Can't Stand.

My underlying hate for people increasingly worsens as the days of school pass. Not to put a negative twist on my first blog entry of the year, but some of the people at Rocklin High just pluck my last nerve. Whether I'm walking to class or sitting at lunch, I see those people that harass my eyes and strangle my sanity. Freshman and sophomore girls wearing shorts so short they look like underwear and tank tops with their pubescent chests pushed up in Victoria's Secret Miraclicious bras. Why doesn't administration punish them? Answer me that Mrs. Mary Anne Knox. My friends and I get called out for wearing shirts revealing a simple shoulder, it's not nearly as bad as showing thousands of hormonal teenagers their "lady parts". Disgusting. Yet another thing, I know for a fact there is a wee bit of favoritism going on in the administration building, for just the other day I saw a kiss a** junior walk right by an administrator wearing a tank top....what happens? Nothing. I was livid. My rant is over, my blood is boiling as I type remembering all of those people that walk into my vicinity, staring me down for not wearing makeup. Sorry I don't cake it on guys, hate to disappoint.

Stress

It's the fifth day of school, and we're all slowly getting back into the "in school" routine. As we adjust to our new classes and return to our after school activites, it can be challenging trying to manage everything. This leads to stress. As we become older we tend to get more stressed. We are able to take more Honor and AP courses, and we often move up a level in Sports, from JV to Varsity, which can become very stressful. We tend to get surrounded in everything that's arround us and sometimes we forget that we're still in high school. Although high school is a very critical time in our lives, we have to remember that we're only here once. We need to focus on what's important. High schol is supposed to be one of the best times of our lives right? Remember, stay focused so you can accomplish what you want to do, and try not to stress to much, it is only high school.

Cupcake earrings

I don't really wear jewelry all that much unless its from my boyfriend. Although this morning i was looking through my earrings and saw vanilla cupcakes with cherries on top. My style is usually pretty simple so when i decide to wear something like that i like to show them off. I have seen banana, donut, and oreo earrings. Who knew food was stylish?  Its cute, its fun, and it shows you like your treats.
