Manalapan Day is Coming!

Every year our town gets together and shows off our town spirit by having a carnival all for the people of Manalapan. There is something there for just about every age. Whether it is the music and dancing, the fun rides, or just the great food, you can find something to do at every moment. Unfortunately for our town, last year Manalapan Day was rained out so this year this has to be that much more excitement. Two of my best friends, Sabrina and Michelle both dance for opposing dancing schools that attend Manalapan Day every year. Along with all of our towns families there, I also get to spend time laughing with my friends as well as seeing my peers coming together. This year we even went further as to hanging up banners and popular ends of town with the date and time written on it which we have never done in the past! Hopefully it is as fun as it is expected to be!

Almost There!

As the first day of June has came rolling around people already started counting down the days till "freedom". The whole lifestyle of summer is just perfect for students, it's all about the fun times and relaxtion. Summer reading is put off till August and getting a tan at the beach is in. Our school year seems to end later then a lot of other school districts but oh well nothing you can do right? I can not wait to just wake up and have basically no responsibility. Also, the extra sleep is always a plus since I am someone who basically naps everyday. The summer is a perfect time for me to catch up on any extra sleep I may have missed through the year. 16 MORE SCHOOL DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HURRY UP.

Going out to Eat

When I was a little kid going out to eat seemed like the most exciting thing to do with my family, I loved it. Besides for the fact that I got to be in a whole different atmosphere I also loved all the different little gifts you get when you were a child at a restaurant. Friday's used to give out cups to kids, that was my favorite part of the whole dinner! Or even the whole coloring book activity was a blast too while you anxiously awaited your food to come out. Now going out to eat with my family seems more towards a chore then anything else but still quite enjoyable.

Degrassi: The Next Generation

Today as I sat in my room flipping through the channels I came across a show I actually like to watch, Degrassi. The show is really for teenagers and is basically all drama of what lots of normal teens go through. Although some situations in Degrassi seem extremely farfetched, I feel that this show does well in showing a tough situation and different solutions for it. The episode I caught was about a girl's exboyfriend persuading her into letting him cheat off of her on a math final and then she feels very used after. This scenario is very realistic in today because people cheat all the time and feel different pressures from specific people. The show has the girl go through the whole problem and by the end of the episode she finds a mature way to deal with it. Although the show does show more serious issues as well like vandalism and bullying, there's a wide range of plots. I feel that whether a teenager realizes it or not, watching this show helps to open our eyes that not everything is really "the end of the world", as many teens go about saying. This shows even has solutions to simple problems most of us have gone through or are currently going through.

Since I realize so many other blogs will be about prom I will try to make this as different as possible. First, getting my hair and make up done was so new to me and at first I wasn't sure how I really liked everything! It's so nerve racking until the final product when everything is put together. Once I put my dress on I was so happy with the way everything came out. Even at prom most girls and guys looked very well put together more then I had ever expected. It's kind of weird seeing some people so dressed up when I'm so used to them in sweats all the time. Prom went really well even though MS. SCOTT didn't come :( All in all it was a very successful/stressful day!

"QuoteQuote"

Today I came across a quote that really got me thinking and was a very deep but amazing quote that said, "As I grow to understand life less and less,
I learn to love it more and more." said by Jules Renard. This goes to show how no one ever truly understands why certain things happen to them and no one ever fully figures out life but everyone only learns to love it more and more. Appreciating all of the little positive things in a person's life is extremely important to myself and many others. Personally, I'm an optimist and I hate hearing negativity, I always look at the brighter side of things even when there seems to be no visible one. As people grow up more and more obstacles and big decisions are thrown their way and no matter what a person chooses or what the outcome is no one really gets why what happened happened. All a person can do is appreciate what they have now and realize life is a really precious gift and each day should not be taken for granted because everyday is a beautiful one. This quote really had me thinking about how everyone should stop trying to find a reason behind everything and just let everything be.

Ahhh

Friday night I had the pleasure of spending it in the hospital! What started out as getting ice cream did not end that way, after getting these sharp, shooting pains in my lower abdomen I went to the hospital and did not leave till 8 in the morning! I rarely get sick or anything of that sort so when this came about I was so surprised. After drinking the most disgusting drink ever I was sent off to get a cat scan. I do not understand how someone made that drink, it is absolutely gross! All of the nurses were very nice and helpful. I really just wanted to sleep but there were so many weird things going on around me that I most definitely could not :( I'm still yet to know what this is but I'm just happy to be able to sleep in my own bed<3 number one thing I missed was my bed and my puppy :)
