A Day In My Life

I decided today I would ramble on about my day. Well, technically from last night to this evening. Last night, I watched Jeopardy, then I saw the U.S.  women's free skate, and finally, finished the night off with the X Games. What a lot of people don't know about me, is that I love to watch competition shows, they are basically the only shows I really watch. Last summer Olympics, I did 100 crunches every night that it was on. Competitions like these really bring out motivation in myself. When I see other people doing these amazing tricks and showcasing their tremendous amount of talent, I want that to be me. After watching some of the X Games, because it was on until 12:35 am, I went to sleep at 12:00.
When I woke up this morning at around 12:30 pm, I ate some Cocoa Pebbles cereal, while watching a video about thrifting on my phone. When I finished my breakfast, I wanted to start writing a blog post but instead played The Sims for an hour. Next, I began a show called “Rythm &  Flow” on Netflix. I watched two episodes, then finally worked on writing my blog post while listening to music. I got about two sentences into it before I stopped because it was a topic I needed to think about more. So, you'll probably see that one tomorrow. I listened to my music and did my makeup until 5:30, then I got bored and went on YouTube. I didn't stop until dinner was ready. I had roast beef and potatoes with gravy. It was the best thing I have tasted in my life, though I feel that way towards everything my dad makes. After that, I took a bath, I'm only telling you about this part because, hilariously, I banged my head against the faucet. The entire time I was trying so hard to be careful and not hit my head, then I went on and did it anyway. That just makes me cackle, my head still feels a little tender too, and it's been about 20 minutes. As you can probably guess, I started writing this directly after my bath. I'm proud of the progress I am making so far, and the creative juices are flowing. I think I'll end off the night by watching the X Games, day three, which starts at ten and ends at twelve. 
Hopefully, I'll wake up early tomorrow morning and be more productive. Today, I have just felt lazy. I  aspire to do more with my day than just sit around and do basically nothing, I crave to get things done. Lately, I have been feeling that my day to day life has been so repetitive, I do the same thing every day, with only slight variation between what I have for homework. It's boring, there is a saying that only boring people get bored, and I'm afraid that I am becoming a boring person. Maybe it's because I'm by myself most of the time, I mean, I have my parents but they do their repetitive schedule as well. My dad watches old shows, puts wood on the fire, takes a nap and makes dinner. My mom comes home after work, makes her coffee, then goes directly to the computer, and is on Facebook until dinner is ready. Going to college will make me a more productive person, surely, or am I being too naive. I don't know, but I hope that being around other people who need to get things done, will allow me to prosper and be more motivated. Well, this has been me rambling about my day and thoughts that came to my mind while typing.  Thanks for reading, and I wish you all a good night or morning.
I’ll keep you updated.

Hobby or Obsession

Spoiler Warning! Right now, I am reading this book called  The Hand on The Wal l by Maureen Johnson. This is the third book in the Truly Devious series, I read anything by this author, she is my favorite. As I was reading the novel, and throughout the series in general, the main character Stevie is accepted into this private school for gifted children called Ellingham Academy because her hobby is solving crimes. She just so happens to be obsessed with the Ellingham Murder Case, as you read further into her story, you see how increasingly consumed she is by these murders, and the deaths happening around her as well. There are riddles and mysteries galore, and Stevie somewhat dissociates from her friends to try and solve these cases.  In this book, Stevie has solved the Ellingham case. Now she is trying to solve the case of her friends Ellie and Hayes. Hayes suffered from CO2 poisoning by dry ice, Ellie was suffocated in the walls of the Ellingham estate, and Stevie's mentor Dr. F

Band Together

Lately I have been thinking of the process of creating a band. I have been singing my entire life, much to my parents dismay. I am passionate about music. More passionate than someone who has never trained a day in their life should be. A day without music is like a day without food. It helps me relax after a stressful day and express my emotions without speaking words myself. The other day I told my dad that I was contemplating creating a band in college. He told me that he had also wanted to be in a band in high school. My dad is one of the people who shaped my love for music. He taught me Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Presley, Queen, AC/DC, etc. We’d listen to music together loud enough to burst our eardrums over a long period of time. It became my religion. I practiced listening to music everyday. So many people start bands for fun and succeed, so why can’t I.  It may be a crazy idea that I haven’t fully thought out. But it’s an idea I want to

Labels Are Lible

I've been reading a lot about labels lately. Unintentionally, like for school, and a book that I was interested in at the library. They both talked a lot about names people place on others, as a stereotype. For my sociology class, we had to read "Teenage Wasteland" by Donna Gaines. In this article, it showed 4 teenagers who committed suicide because they felt that life wasn't a game they could win. They were the "burnouts" of their school, misunderstood, even after their deaths their town blamed it on the label, they were "burnouts" it was bound to happen. Gaines discusses how social structure is bound by labels, schools track students by ability. Cliques form based on subcultures and interests like nerds, athletes, gamers, etc. The "burnouts" are grouped together, leaving them stranded in the so-called teenage wasteland. If people start to feel lost in a label, unable to rise from their forced reputations, it leaves them helpless.  Fo
