Thinking of the Future

So, today I am really just freaking out!
There is so much I have to do!
Sign up for classes on Wednesday.
Get my freaking roading done. (Haha, good luck on that one. I suck juice box at driving.)
Homework.
Learn.
Okay, now that I write it out, it doesn't seem like much..
But it feels like it! I'm stressing out like nobodies business!
And I am feeling overwhelmed with the fact that I am nearly a senior. Soon I'll be graduating and going to college... It's all just so crazy.
All of my senior friends are going to be leaving and heading for college.
Man, I'm gonna miss everyone.
We aren't kids anymore, guys!
I don't want to grow up yet. I want to stay a kid forever!
But on the other hand, I'm kind of excited to grow up.
We finally get to move out.
Go to school and get a degree in what we want to do for the rest of our lives.
Our emotions and hormones finally become somewhat stable.
Start up on the marriage market.. :)
I don't even want to think about it yet, though. It's all coming so fast!
The years seemed to go by like days.
I feel like I'm still that chubby little seventh grader nobody who saw everyone but was seen by no one.
If I had known the things I know now back in those days.. The different decisions I would have made.
Let's live up these days, guys.
No regrets.
Let's just be crazy.
'Cause, oh boy, it's going by fast.
Thanks for reading! I love you.

Tips for When You're Feeling Down:)

          I have been recently enlightened. I'm just pulling out of a really rough spot in my life. Turning sixteen didn't go well with me last year. I lost my way, and I have just found my way back. So, if you are as low as I was, here are some tips just for you, that have really gotten the job done for me.

  • Take up a hobby. Journaling, drawing, photography, dancing, whatever. Find your shtick and hold to it.
  • Yoga! I also include meditating in this category, because yoga simply is meditation that requires more skill and coordination. Focusing on balance and breathing helps you forget all of your problems, and you grow stronger in your core and in your mind.
  • Excersize. A lot. It gets out anger and stress, and you burn calories!
  • Get in touch with God. If you don't worship a form of deity, you can skip this, obviously. But this is a huge one for me, because it is helpful in finding who you are and remembering that there are much bigger things out there to worry about.
  • Let go of things that you cannot control. You can control your temper, you can't control whether or not people talk about you behind your back. You can control your grades, you can't control your sibling's temper. Just focus on the things that you know you have firm grip on.
  • Don't let little things bring you down. Focus on school work. Think about your future, where you want to be in five to ten years and act upon that, because that is really what is most important.
  • Remember all of the things and people that you have in your life, and be grateful for them.

I could probably go on forever, but I'll stop here to save you time! What really helped me the most was talking to someone about it. Talk to your parents, a close friend, or a counselor if you feel comfortable doing that. Don't ever consider hurting yourself, because that is never the answer, and it doesn't even work. It really makes you feel worse about yourself. Thanks so much for listening, or rather, reading what i have to say:)

First Time Blogger

So, I got myself a blog! Even after having three journals, a Tumblr I never use, and a Facebook; I still don't feel satisfied with getting my thoughts out there. Let's just hope I actually use it. It will help keep me motivated if you follow, comment and share! I would majorly appreciate it. This blog will just be my thoughts on stuff, maybe some photography, and whatever else I have to share! So let's party together, and make the best of the rest of my high school career! I love you guys, and hope you will appreciate the stuff I have to put out there.
