Hello to Highschool

 We can all relate that homework is the worst. No one wants to do it and everyone usually waits til the last second to do it. Well, I do. It makes me focus and actually get it done. Throughout my high school years, I have been trying to find tips and tricks on how to actually sit down and get the work done. It is hard for me to do homework because I can't sit still for that long.  I have actually found a new way that doesn't distract me from getting work done. It's listening to music that doesn't have words!  For example:  - Any Christmas songs                         From Home Alone                          Carol of the Bells  - Songs you don't know                          Any instrumental  This tool has made me get my homework done faster...

Feeling like the world is ending is the worst possible thing to happen. This tends to happen to me because I feel like everyone expects a lot from me and I don't want to let them down. It is very overwhelming at times. I try not to let it bother me, but it is sometimes tough to keep it in. I never thought of myself being an overachiever, but as of right now, I feel like I'm a perfectionist. If it isn't perfect or if I don't get that A, I'm not satisfied.   When situations don't go my way as when I don't get that high score, I feel like I let everyone down and I get really stressed and then break down.  To fix my problem: - Go and talk to someone about it.  - Don't worry about the grade, worry about what you have learned.  I have to keep working on this and overcome my failures to keep preserving.  If you have the same problem and you have figured out how to handle it healthily please share. 

This blog post kind of ties up with my last one. Having a mom that is always on you and doesn't tell you that she's happy for you, makes a difference in your work ethic and your drive. I got accepted into this school yesterday with a great scholarship and all she had to say was “yeah”. For me, that is extremely draining.  I’m putting so much effort into all of my college applications and it's not getting appreciated. I just get really upset because it is my mom and I want her to be proud of me but she only gives short responses on big accomplishments in my life.    For me to get first honors was huge. That never happens. I was so excited and my mom didn't really say anything, I feel like that messes with my head. I tried to talk to her about it but, all she does is get mad and yell.  Is anyone's mom like this to them? I don't know if it is because of work or if she is just getting annoyed with me.  I just feel like, with all of the accomplishments I have ac...

It has been a while since I posted a blog. I took some time off to gather my thoughts. I took some steps back to breathe. My mental health has really overwhelmed me in the past weeks. I have been so busy with school, trying to find the right college to go to, waiting to hear from colleges, softball, and getting recruited.  It is getting hard for me to balance the right amount of everything. I'm trying my best with everything but by the time this deadline comes up, I just get increasingly overwhelmed.  If anyone has any suggestions you should let me know what to do! I'm trying to stay positive through all of this and always keep a smile on my face!

 I realized I started to feel very overwhelmed, started to not do my homework, felt everything is rushed, nothing going the right way, was overly sensitive, and very emotional. If you can relate to this, It's not fun in any way. Especially when the weather gets gloomy and all you want to do is sleep. For me, cold weather = no motivation. I'm sure everyone likes to be all sung, under the blanket, and not be cold. I struggle with self-discipline. Being a senior I have more free time than I ever have. I don't know when to do my school work and what to prioritize whenever I need.  Some things I have done the past week to help my problem:  - Set timers to take my medicine because I have been late for the past few days.  - Using my planner even more than I used to.      - Put everything in your planner for future planning      - ex) Sporting events, appointments, homework, and other activities.  If you have any advice for me put it in the...

Last Saturday, I went to homecoming. I was really nervous. You're probably wondering why? Well, it wasn't my school's dance, it was my boyfriend's dance. I didn't know a lot of people there, only a hand full. For My date and I got pictures at this one girl's house and I knew none of the girls. I somewhat felt alone and left out. Through pictures, two girls came up to me that were in my group and wanted to take a picture with me. which was really nice.  Pictures were over and my date and I went to eat with his friends. I started to talk to everyone in our group and everyone turned out to be so much and very funny. Everyone told stories and I was listening and laughing really hard. After everyone was done eating, we got into our cars and went to the dance. It didn't take us long to get there. We all just listened to music. We arrived at the dance at 7 and stayed until 9:30. Everyone had a good time! Never be scared to introduce yourself or put yourself out ...
