Blog 15: Have You Ever

... felt like you didn't know exactly what you wanted to do or be in the future? I often feel that way. The thought of college life and getting more education isn't really on my mind, though it should be. I haven't stressed about college or what I plan to do after High School. I'm more relaxed about my future. This must be a bad thing. People think that at this age you must pick a career or aspiration and fulfill it. But I haven't chosen one. As a child I wanted to be a fashion designer or a model. But society tells me to get a high paying job that is more realistic, so I threw that dream away. It's hard to think about my future because I live for today not for tomorrow, next week, next month, or the years to come. I take life day by day. Whatever happens, happens. Maybe i'm just lazy, but in all honesty I can't see myself doing anything in the future, not because I plan on doing nothing, but because I honestly don't know what my future holds. Let's just pray i'm not homeless.

Blog 14: I'm mad, but...

I just wrote a long meaningful blog about a TV show and it deleted.

I'm not even in the mood to write another blog :-/

BUT I HAVE TO SOOOO......

I've recently got a car. Yes, my first car ever, a 1999 Honda CRV. I can honestly say I love it. I love the size and the amount of room it has inside of it. It's not beat up, considering that the past owner was a mechanic, so everything works smooth. But now it's the whole GAS thing.

I'm coming to the realization that gas is a burden on drivers. I mean, I've seen and heard the commotion about the prices being high, and I'm now affected by this being a new driver. I only make $8 and hour, get paid every two weeks, and listen to this, I work in Burlington. Yep, I'm going to be broke. Seems like the adult life isn't as fun as it seems. I'm thinking about finding a job closer to home, as much as I love my job now, I have to do what is financially right.


Adult life...

Blog 13: Rozmierek

I feel bad for him.

I know his changes have made a big noise around Lowell High but I feel like people don't give him the credit he deserves. It is hard to run a school smack down in the middle of the city of Lowell full of diverse students,  racially and personality wise. I mean, he made changes that he thought would benefit the school in a positive way, and that's all we should think about. 

What bothers me the most is that student decide to pick at his physical appearance which has nothing to do with his work as the head master of our school. That is bullying. It's our job as students to give respect to those who might not exactly deserve it. It sucks that people decide to pick at him for everything that doesn't happen the way WE want in school. 

As student's we should focus less on the negative and focus on the positive. Let's stop picking at the source of our unhappiness and try to support him instead.

Blog 12: High School

I'm extremely excited when I think about the 40 something days left of High School. Finally, I get to prove to my parents that I am able to graduate High School with no issues. The years have flown by and i'm eager to say that I would not go back to change anything.

High School has been a lesson in my social life. I've learned to keep things top myself, or maybe just KEEP TO MYSELF. I realized that many people that you thought respected you as a person don't, and the ones you least expect are the ones to hurt you the most. However, I also learned to respect myself as a person more. I've learned that friends don't help you succeed in life, YOU help yourself succeed in life. Valuing your work and priorities are more important than getting into crazy High School drama.

On that note, thank you Lowell High School for shaping me into an adult.

Blog 11: Gone

It's so unreal that a teacher I had Sophomore year passed away over the weekend. 

When I first heard the news via Twitter, I assumed it was all a joke. No news is ever reliable when found out on Twitter. When I found out the news was legit today during first period, I was shocked. I was even more shocked in finding out that it was a suicide. Knowing Mr.Dubois you could never tell if he was upset or bothered by anything. This man was genuinely happy and giddy. I couldn't have imagined that his life had to end this way.

The part that hurts me the most is that I saw him very recently, last Thursday. It's crazy that one day someone can be on this earth, and within the next few days... they're gone. It's crazy how life works. But of course this is something we must deal with every day. I guess it was his time. God Bless his family and friends.

"Life is like a long line, except at the end of it, there is no merry-go-round." -A quote from the King of Queens TV show. 

• There are no pictures I can put on this blog to make some type of statement. It's just depressing to have lost a teacher... There are no words or pictures to explain. 

Blog 10: Lana del Rey

So lately i've been obsessed with this female artist, Lana del Rey. Her voice is literally the best part about her. She has about 3 different personalities throughout every song she sings, and her music is easy to connect to as a female, though a lot of men enjoy her music too.

One song that I'm addicted to is "Dark Paradise" which just basically explains how she's still in love with a dead soul. The beat is so ear catching and memorizing. She is kind of influenced by her boyfriend ASAP Rocky who is a rapper also. But she has this unique powerful woman voice.

I highly recommend everyone to listen to her album Born to Die if you're looking for a new and exciting artist to listen to. But it takes acquired taste to listen to her, so if you're narrow minded when it comes to music, you won't like her.

Blog 9: New Year, New Perspective

Last year I can honestly say was the worst year of my life. I was young, naive, and immature. But towards the end of 2012, I finally discovered who I am as a person and who I want around me. I discovered who my real friends were and what I wanted in life, this is why I am so excited for 2013.

I'm approaching this year with a new perspective on life. I've decided to have a more optimistic outlook on situations and people. Even though last year giving people the benefit of the doubt didn't quite work out for me, i'm going to keep giving people chances as much as i don't want to.

This year is going to be my year. No one is going to hold me back from happiness and fun. I want to live stress-free yet, go to college and achieve all the academic requirements it takes to fuflill my dreams of majoring in Psychology.

It's a new year, a new me, and a new perspective on life.
