Birthdays!

Birthdays are always a special time for everyone! Whether someone's turning 10, 20, or even 50.. it should always be a big deal. I love birthdays and this year I especially love my birthday because I'm turning seventeen and that means I'll be (hopefully) getting my license! Since January is coming to an end and February is about to start, that means my March birthday is that much closer. I cannot wait! My friend Sabrina and I are the last two to get our licenses out of our group of friends, guess we picked a lucky group. Hopefully I'll be writing on here in a month with how happy I am about getting my license but we'll see!

Midterm Madness!

Finally, they are here, what ever highschooler dreads, MIDTERMS! This week we have a full day of school on Monday and then half days the rest of the week! Sounds like a good week right? In turn, it's just the opposite, this is a week full of late nights and anxiety! After this week is over all of the relief of the SATS and midterms being over will set in, and the old routine of school will go back to normal. Atleast I know that after every school day I can grab some lunch and eat with my friends before I go back to a day filled with studying!

Wrong House?

This weekend me and my two best friends, Melissa and Michelle were going to our friends house, or so we thought! After ringing the doorbell and anxiously waiting to go inside and greet all of our friends, our friends "mom" answers the door and seems a bit confused. I instantly walked to the basement door and asked if everyone was downstairs and the mom, still confused, replied yes. I was the first one in line, we walked down the steps and all thought to ourselves how his basement looks very different? As we all step off of the last step and round the corner we see a group of kids sitting on the couch, but they WEREN'T our friends! I literally fell to the ground laughing so hard at the confusion. We embarassingly ran out of the house, laughing, and found our way to our actual friends house.

Stress, Sleep loss, and the SATS

This weekend I had the pleasure of taking the SATS! The whole idea of the SATS doesn't really make sense to me. Everyone spends about 12 hard working years in school, doing homework, taking test after test, and learning all about new topics. After doing all of this, the SAT intimidates you and makes it seem as if it all comes down to this one test when in fact, it doesn't. I didn't get to sleep the night before till around one! I planned on being asleep by ten, but that didn't happen! The test took about five hours and afterwards was the greatest feeling of relief. I was looking forward to going out to eat at my favorite breakfast place, Mom's, with all of my other college bound friends that just took the SATS as well. All in all I was so happy to be done and outta that classroom!
