Crossing off "become a journalist" on my list.
Fact: I have acquired a new habit which is to blog before I do a major writing assignment. It’s true. Since I have just ended my journalism class aka intense writing class, I have grown minutely as a writer. Of course, this is still a blog and I can write as informal and slang-y as I want. While choosing a major in high school, I was interested in two things (actually, I had a lot of things...

desperate for a saturday ritual.
This is an AD for something to do on what I think is the LONGEST day of the week. ———————————————- I noticed I blog the most on Saturdays. Not because it’s the most neutral day of the week, but because I actually have the time -_-

gailywonder: Laying in bed, thinking about Candide by Voltaire.. I wanna reread it. I’m thinking I could learn a lot from it considering the situation I’m in.. As much as I expressed hatred towards Seminar classes at SMC, I’m glad I was forced to take them. I might have never exposed myself to those classics had I never went to SMC. Now I enjoy old - english, hard to understand, but brilliant...

Grounded until I graduate
Back to FRIDAYS like middle school. Im “grounded until I graduate.” All my life I seem to battle my own self-pity about not having as much freedom as everybody else. My parents aren’t the absolute worse kind of strict, but I just can’t get over how others’ parents seem to not care about what they do, or how easy it is for them to get away with things....

Resentment will be counteracted
Today I decided that I will automatically like those who are like me. Over eighteen years of age. Sheltered. Has traditional parents. Seems anti-social. Because they tend to not go out a lot. Because of their traditional parents. Who shelters them over everything. Even though they’re over eighteen years of age. Lets start a club!

From a person who doesn't believe in settling
Thanks to online networking, I now have a vast knowledge of people back at home (San Jose, CA) complaining about being irritated with their parents, and wanting to move out. No, I won’t dedicate a “STFU,” etc. status to these people, but I will say something. I am very fortunate to be one of few who had the opportunity to move out at the end of high school, although I am not...

achoiceinthematter: Someone who will steal flowers out of their neighbors garden to make a bouquet for me, instead of buying them. I used to know someone that did this for me. But this person is in the past now.

Just do it
Today I finally put the new treadmill—that we’ve had for two months—to use. I ran a good two miles, considering that I haven’t committed to a workout routine since last summer. Will I commit to this one? I’m hoping to just make a habit of running—whether it’s at night (when I’ve finished eating for the day), or during study breaks. Working out is...

My pawn is closer to the edge
I can keep returning home, Even though I’ll be confined. I can smile around other people, And without effort, too. My laughs are genuine, I laugh a little too much. Fearless as to rebel, I’m sending you a message. You’ve taken most of my pieces, But my pawn is closer to the edge.

Losing my way
seandom: losing my sanity. I seriously got shafted out of what I deserved. All that hard work, and I’m left with a pile of shit, while others got the benefit of what was mine. Fuck being nice. I don’t know what to do anymore. Lost my sense of direction. It just hurts. Really, I don’t feel like going to school anymore. I would have rather gone bankrupt than feel like this, and maybe I’d feel...

How easy
How easy it is to manually make memories disappear. How easy it was to take out pictures of us in my room. How simple it was to shove the frames in my drawers, and the bulletin-collage you crafted is making stay at the back of my closet. How I felt nothing when I released our miniature prom picture from the graps of the magnets that held it against my refrigerator. How easy… it was to do...

I really like her! People will call me in denial, but I feel like I could relate to Megan fox just because she is obnoxious, a homebody, and nerdy who dresses with simplicity. BIG FAN.

So done with the holidays
Christmas is only for kids now. New years only serves the 21 and up classification. In the age of “in-between,” we are only limited to house parties, snow trips, ice-skating, and apple cider. No matter what age, there will always be presents and good company. And this is where I cut off optimism. Every year my level of holiday spirit gets worse. As a little girl, my parents were more...
