Endings and Beginnings

It is almost the end of the school year and it is our last year in GMS. Though this is only my second year at this school, I've made a lot of memories and met new friends along the way. Before the end of the school year, there is a lot of preparations before we all have to graduate. Some of them are a living nightmare, but some of them are going to be really fun. The "living nightmare" is final exams. I don't even want to talk about it because I hate anything that has to do with taking tests. But, the more exciting things are Camp Maclean, the 8th Grade Dance, and Graduation of course. I can't wait for Camp Maclean because I went last year and it was a blast, but, I heard there are more exciting activities for the 8th graders than the 7th graders so I'm really excited. For the 8th grade dance, I think it is one of the last times the 8th graders get to have fun and do an activity together, and we get to have a fun time with our friends. Graduation, oh how I'm excited for graduation, I can't wait for that night because after that night, I'm finally done with school. As of this day, it is April 30, meaning we have exactly a month until we graduate. I can't wait. :)

It´s Complicated.

You know on Facebook, how they have a In A Relationship, or Married, or It´s Complicated status on their profile? Well first of all, I´m not in a relationship or married, but I´m in a complicated relationship; with school. Waking up at 6 am is way to early for me even if I try sleeping early. Being in school for 8 hours is hard enough, and then we have to go back home and work on more school work A.K.A homework? That is too much for me. There are some classes that I don´t like going to like math or science, and those two classes make me feel like I´m in class for the longest time. School also puts so much stress with all of the quizzes, tests, exams, and worst of all, final exams! 

     So basically, what I´m trying to say here is that school is just a big blob of stress, homework, and studying. 

13 Reasons Why

Since the beginning of April, one of the biggest things I have been hearing about is how people binge watched 13 Reasons Why on Netflix, and that it is a really good show and that they really recommend it. So, I thought of giving it a try on watching it to see if it is really good.
   
Now, I know what some of you will be thinking, why I did not read the book before I started watching this. Well, I'm sorry but I'm a slow reader and I just really really wanted to start watching the series ASAP.

Anyways, 13 Reasons Why is about this high school student, named Hannah Baker, who commits suicide. Before she died, she created tapes, that have reasons, or talking about the people, on why she committed suicide. I'm glad that they made a Netflix show based on this to teach people, especially teenagers that suicide is not something that you should do. This part may sound cheesy, but it is true, if you start seeing something different about someone in your life, that may be depressed, or has anxiety, tell a trusted adult about it, so they can help cure them before it is too late.

I highly recommend watching 13 Reasons Why, and I promise you that you will not put your phone down after watching the first tape. Have fun!

Puppies Galore

I am pretty sure puppies make everything better, so I hope you do well on PARCC by looking at these really cute puppies! Enjoy.

A Tribute

For my blog post this week, I am doing a tribute on my grandma. When I was younger, my parents were always at work and it was convenient for them to have long shifts because my grandma would just watch over me. My grandma did a lot to take care of me, especially when I was really young. If I was injured, she would immediately help me and make sure I was okay, if I was hungry, she would prepare me a delicious meal, and after I finished playing with my toys, she would be the one to clean everything up. Sometimes, I would take advantage of my grandma when I was younger, and I would demand her to do something for me because I knew she would end up doing it. But once my grandma died in 2014, I felt very bad that I never got to care for her when she was weak and couldn't do anything. Sometimes, I wish that I can turn back time and care for her during the time when she needed me the most.
