High Schools Times Almost Up!

With 5 months left of HIGH SCHOOLLLL it seems like the first half of the year happened a long time ago and the realities of life are starting to set in.

It seems as though goals change as the year goes on. At the begining of the year our main focus was filling out applications, getting the perfect schedule, and it felt as if college was far, far away. Now that its 2009 priorities are on having fun, making memories, and letting loose on the whole college idea. If we get accepted then we get accepted but its no worth the stress.

Now is the time to think about the funnest parts of senior life. Senior prank, senior hoodies, senior skip day, and prom. The senior prank the past couple years of classes havent been that creative when it came down to this tradition. "We should do something thats not stupid. Something more creative than the average outside decorations," senior Lija Zurovskis. Visual artist Tom Sipples, "I want something creative, but not stupid. Underwear and toilet paper in the trees is stupid." Right now there are no exact plans but I'm sure that when the time comes our prank will blow other years out of the water.

This year there was controversy over the senior hoodies. The design was "voted on" but the general response was LAAAAAAME. Now we have other ideas details are being worked out.

Senior skip day is usually the norm beach/park cookout day. When it comes to 2009 WE'RE NOT HAVING THAT! "umm...blowing back the piff. To tell you the truth I'm not gonna drink that much," says one annoynomous senior. When asked what she wanted to do for skip day Ariel Bernard said, "I dont know. Just food"

Prom is the main focus of the average kid as the end of the year comes. Deciding colors, dates, befores and afters, are a few of the many things that go into an enjoyable prom night. Another issue that occurs is $$$$$. Because its so close to college for seniors, they want to save some oney but still put out enough to make their senior prom memorable. When asked how to feel about it Julissa said, "Girl listnen. I have prom, graduation, and a wedding to pay for! I'm saving now and whatever comes thats important at the time thats what my money is going towards. On the other hand it has made me double think on the dress i really want, shoes and all that comes with it my price range has dropped."

As the second half of our senior year fastly approaches there is alot more to look forward to and alot more to get ready for. So i hope you seniors are ready for the challenges, get ready bbeeeyyyooottccheheesss!!!! 09!!!!!

Mid-Terms are coming up!

As any high school student knows the months to buckle down are January and June. January

now being here we know as students what time it is. It’s the time for mid-terms. These exams

being 25% of our grade for the 3rd marking period, we began to study real hard and try to get on our A game.

But as for the preparation for these exams it is very crucial. Many teachers take theses

things very serious. Although the time has come I don’t feel that we are ready. Coming

back from a long break having to re-focus your-self and trying to get back on track isn’t

that easy. But a lot of my classes haven’t even started to review. So is this something that

I should worry about? Us not starting to review yet with mid-terms in a week, I feel very

worried. But these things should began to fall into place anytime now so all that I can do

is study what I know and take it day by day.

Growing up in months...

Life isn’t all that it’s made out to be, well at lease for me. As you all may know I have been on my own since February 19, 2008. Ever since than I was left with the responsibilities to take care of myself. Although many teens may think that it’s the best thing over. I must really tell you that its not, having to grow up so quick sucks. You’re left with so many responsibilities & no one to help you. But it also has its plus I have learned and went threw many things over the past year that many teens my age will never experience. That’s kind of a good thing on my part I feel that yes, I did have to grow up pretty quick but I don’t feel that I have missed out on much. Because on the other hand I got a jump start on how REAL life is out side on the “family” life.

One of the main things that teens today need to understand is that it is only going to get harder. Like once we reach college having to manage our money. You’re going to have to choose between getting groceries or that real hot GUESS bag you really wanted. But in reality you’re going to choose grocery shopping over shopping for your self or having to supplies your self with your apartment necessities. A lot of people today depend on other people and that’s not so good. Because have you ever thought about…”what am I going to do when there not there…?” or “who’s going to pay this bill when I can’t….?”

Well this was just a little food for thought take it how you want this is my understanding of things and the way I feel about things and the challenges of growing up that I have faced in so little time :(
