Do What You Love, Love What You Do

This saying is usually used in the business world, to describe what type of jobs employees should look for. But it applies to our everyday actions, too. You should make the choices you want to make, and not be swayed by the crowd. This includes your choices of speech, friends, and even whether or not you will do your homework. (Yes, you will!) And you should love what you do: do something that will make you proud of your decision, not something that you will later look back at and think, "Why did I do that?" You have to own your decision. This includes snap decisions, which are hard because you need time to think about it. Do the right thing and hold your head high. And if people give you a hard time about it? Just say, "I'm too smart to do something stupid like that." No matter what they say, they can't change your mind unless you let them.

For more on this subject (kind of) look at my post called "Down to Earth" which was posted in Feb. It was probably one of my best posts ever.

Yawn and Snore.... but Does it Have to be a Bore?

A bit of advice from and for the wise--

I know everyone hates school and all. Who wouldn't? It is a bunch of information that is always either too hard or too easy, but never what we want it to be! And most certainly NOT fun. But, as they say, "life's what you make it." School is, too. For example, what is your favorite part of the school day? (BESIDES going home.) What do you like about that part? The teacher? Try to see if you can spot that teacher's qualities in other teahers.(That actually works for friends, too!!) That's just an example. And of everything that I have blogged so far, this may sound the most retarded. But it worked for me. And if all else fails, suck it up and stay out of trouble. You have to go to school because it's the law, so you might as well make the best of it.

I'm Sooo Sorry!

Hi, Everyone!

I'm SOOOOO sorry about not posting for that whole time. I've been taking those stupid MSAs (ugh) and, of course, THAT takes up a LOT of time.

But other than that, I've just been...... busy! Isn't everyone? That is a HUGE cause of stress-- being busy. The world is constantly moving faster and faster, and people are starting to be judged on how many activities they can cram into their schedules. But seriously, ease off! Everyone should have at least an hour of COMPLETELY FREE time (no homework, chores, jobs, nothing) every day. AFTER the hour of 3:00. BEFORE the hour of 9:00. If you don't have that hour, then maybe it's time to quit some sports. I know everyone LOVES to play sports, but trust me, you will have an easier life in the end. Besides, there are certain seasons for every sport, so there's an idea....

Get Smart Don't Start

Everyone that pays attention knows about the social hierarchy at their school.  They know what level they are on.  But some people get swayed by the stupid idea of popularity and they try to "get with the in crowd."  Do not become one of these people.  It makes your friends start to see you as an outsider, and kissing up to the populars is just a way to get them to use you.  So be smart.  Don't even start.  Just a helpful message :)

MSAs and Happy Days

The thing to do about MSAs is to just....well.....bear with them, or protest, but choose fast. Cause they are coming up. And turns out...the teachers feel the same way. And they would probably support a protest. So make a petition. Sorry, I have to go. This cant be long, but it can be strong.

Not As Planned

Well, that didn't last long, did it?

As an effort to see how many people really do like my blog, I put a survey thing to the left. Please vote if you like my blog. Also, I fixed the time zone so it showed EST.

Now, let's talk about a subject I LOVE: MSAs. Just kidding. I HATE the MSAs. It's a lot of preparing, stressing, and suspense for one test. ONE TEST! (Well, 2 because math and language arts, and some people have science ones, but still.) MSAs are only for Maryland, but they have similar tests in almost every state. And really, what's the point?

• If it's to test how much we know: Big deal. The teachers are smart enough to figure that out on their own. Plus, it's how much we KNOW, not how much we know after they jammed all this extra information in our heads.
• If it's to teach us how to deal with big tests: WHY?!
• If it's to review everything we have learned: In all of the MSAs that I have ever taken (and that's a lot, like 4 or 5 or 6 or something years), I can honestly state that the information is almost completely irrelevant to other information we have learned throughout the year. Especially for the people who are in advanced classes, since the MSAs are based on the normal classes.

Does anyone else agree? There needs to be a protest against MSAs. Use your voice. It wasn't given to you to hold. There is no wasting it by overuse, just underuse. Speak now. Please comment if you agree.

First 7:30 Post!!!!

OMG...... looks like I might actually be on time today!!!
YAY! Anyway, tomorrow, there is a pep rally at school. Pep rallies are a great time to act like an idiot without people judging you too much. This is the time where school spirit is the idea.... so be heard, be strong, be proud...... and get pumped up for those stupid and useless MSAs. I will report more on MSAs tomorrow or Saturday or something, so........ get ready. It's some pretty nasty stuff.

I would like to thank the commenters. Still inspiring me!!! Now I have a favor to request.... spread the word about this blog!! Does it help you?? It could help so many others.....it's all in YOUR hands. No pressure. :)
