TESTING

-=+=-

Testing is the number one most stressing thing ever. Personally I will even get stressed during open book tests. Weird, huh. The fact that final grades are coming up makes everything even worse. If you mess up even one thing, your whole grade is gone. There's a lot of things you can do to get rid of that stress. The number one thing, this is going to sound dumb, is just to breathe. Stay relaxed and you should do fine. And if you don't you'll still be okay. Honestly, I'm not one to talk because I panic at a 90%. Keeping my grades up is one of my top priorities. :)

HIGHSCHOOL

-=+=-

This week is high school week at my school. All the high schools are coming to make programs. They set your schedules for next year. AP classes are being given out, and honors programs are being recommended. Grades have never been as important as they are now. One mess up, and there's no way you can recover.  My friends and I are deciding what languages to do, and no one is really determined on just one thing. I personally want to do Spanish but they mostly want to do ASL or French. ASL isn't accepted at most schools so I don't know how they're  going to manage. :(

GREYS ANATOMY

-=+=-

Today I want to talk about Grey's Anatomy. I know this might sound a bit weird but it's okay. If you're one of the people who text me often then you know how much I'm obsessed with this show. The recent writer, Shonda Rhimes, is absolutely my least favorite. Not because she's bad at what she does, don't get me wrong she's really good but she has a tendency to kill off all the good characters. Now I'm not gonna spoil anything for the people not caught up, but get ready for the feels. It's going to come as a shock to you. What I will say is, enjoy all the characters while they last because you are definitely going to miss them. I feel as if the writers have a specific goal and that goal is to make all the watchers as upset as possible.

DRESS CODE

-=+=-

Today I want to talk about the amazing topic of dress code. First of I would like to say, if there is a need for a dress code it needs to be equal in all ways. At my school I got dress coded because my tank top did not cover my shoulders entirely, but this one guy in my class was wearing a muscle tank not covering his shoulders at all yet he was okay'ed. Second, when I get dressed for school the first thing I think about is the weather. Of course I'm going to wear shorts and a tank top if its hot. I'm not going to wear jeans because my shorts might be "distracting" in the environment I'm in.  I don't think anyone wears shorts to be distracting, they wear shorts to be okay with the weather. Thirdly, what's the deal with the whole leggings rule? Leggings do not accent the butt anymore than skinny jeans do yet skinny jeans are allowed. Even if they did whats the harm there? The top reason is because it's distracting. Instead of teaching girls what they can't wear they should be teaching boys how to act about it. Shaming a girl is not the right way to deal with it.

BLACKMAIL

-=+=-

This week I'd like to talk about a little something called blackmail. When someone trusts you with information, you have to realize that they trusted you not the people you want to tell but you. Personally, I hate giving out secrets so when I tell someone something and they go and tell the next person, or go and try to blackmail you for something to keep it a secret, that really gets to me. It makes me think about if I should even be talking to this person at all. Sometimes situations like these get out of hand. People begin paying the price for something they should've never been involved with in the first place. Blackmail is a very serious topic that no one should ever do.

LOCKDOWN

-=+=-

Recently our school went into full lockdown and it really disappoints me for many reasons. One being, this situation didn't surprise me. We live in a world where stuff like this is completely normal and that shouldn't be reasonable at all. My classmates instead of being distressed or at least a bit worried, they began to laugh. This has happened before and the fact that it has just shows how screwed up everything is. 10 years ago our reaction would've been horrid. Everyone would've been panicking, but because of how screwed up society is we laughed since we were used to it. This really shouldn't be the case.

CELEBRITIES

-=+=-

Since I am now a rant blog, my first rant will be about celebrities. ;)

-=+=-

Personally, I think that the entire idea of celebrities is kind of dumb. Why? Well, certain people are picked out to be role models. Occasionally, and quite often, the wrong people are picked. We look up to photoshopped girls, and aspire to reach their body figures when in fact these aren't even their own figures. Then we also look up to people who throw away their lives for drugs and/or alcohol. Now when I want to idolize a celebrity or pick a role model, I would look at someone whose work means something.  We aspire after impossible goals when we see magazines. I don't think thats what we should set our future goals for.
