Stop and Smell the Roses

Way too often, people breeze through life like it's something they can afford to waste. But you only live once. So stop and smell the roses or, in other words, appreciate everything in life, no matter how small it is. If someone pays you a compliment, return it with a smile. If someone gives you a gift, thank them, no matter how bad it is in your opinion. Appreciate that they thought about you. Especially in spring time, when everything is even more hectic then ever, and they are scrambling for the summer and to get their grades us, so life goes by without these little things. It makes them even more special and even easier to appreciate. So, sometime this week, I dare everyone reading this to give a compliment to at least 7 people. It may seem like a little thing to you, but you have no idea how much of a difference you may have made in their life.

Life As We Know It: Big Changes

Hey everyone! I am so sorry I haven't posted for so long. It has become harder and harder to post at 7:30, so sometimes, I will just have to post earlier or later, depending on the day. Without the 7:30 guideline, I will be able to post a lot more often. But I will try to make 7:30 as often as possible, so stay tuned!

This post is directed towards those of you who have had very big changes in their lives. I know there are many of us who have moved, had a parent/relative/sibling die or get majorly sick, have gotten sick themselves, transferred schools, lost a home, or lost a pet- anything that affects your life. It could even be something as simple as losing a favorite pair of shoes. Whatever changed your life, if you are feeling depression about these things, please comment them below. You can (and SHOULD) do it anonymously, but I strongly recommend you to do it. Sometimes, when you have something like that burning into your mind, it can stress you out and make it hard to think or concentrate. So please, if you want to feel better about something bad or tragic like that, please comment. We can join together to overcome anything.

The End Of The Break?

Sorry I didn't post more often. It has been CRAZY busy. I had a nice spring break, did you all? Yet, there's always that feeling of "what a wasted break. I didn't get to do anything at all over break." It's called being suspended in the fun. If you ever feel like that, then make a list of all of the things that went well over your break. If you can think of at least 3 things, then it wasn't wasted. If you can think of 5 things, then it was a good break. If you can think of 7 or more things, then you had the best break ever! And if you can think of less than 7, then try to plan activities ahead of time next break. Some ideas MIGHT appear next post, but I'm not making amy promises. ;)

Sorry, No More 7:30 Until...

...the end of SPRING BREAK. YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT!!!! I love spring break. It's a great de-stresser. You can relaaaax, and sleep innnn, and it starts to warm up!! (Although, where I live, it's been very warm for months. :) So, when is everyone else's spring break? Comment your answer below. And keep voting, people! I LOOVE the fact that 4 people are a fan of me! ME, the unpopular! It's a miracle. I'd like to thank all four of you. And I apologize to everyone who follows this blog for not posting for so long. I've been SOOOO busy. For whatever reason, teachers have chose the week before spring break to give us EVERY TEST IMAGINABLE!! I was so exhausted. But I think I MIGHT have made straight As...and if not, then I have less than 3 Bs. Yay!

P.S. I will try to post almost every day until Saturday, but it won't be at 7:30, unfortunately.

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....
