Black Friday

     Black Friday. If you don’t know what Black Friday is well then consider yourself lucky. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving where tons of people go to stores at the same time to get catch big sales. Black Friday has gotten so overly popular that most of the sales actually start on Thanksgiving Day! Instead of eating dinner with their families people go out and wait an outrageous amount of time in insanely long lines just to get into the stores fast. People speed in often not caring if they have to push people out of the way and there are often fights over this and over the products for sale. Now I will say not all stores are like this but that’s the average experience. Luckily I myself have never been taken out Black Friday shopping unless it’s 1:00 p.m Friday afternoon and the crowds have died down significantly. Even by waiting I still get good deals. I don’t understand why people would miss out on family traditions or wait in crappy conditions just to buy products for cheaper than usual when they could wait. Honestly I’m just glad I don’t have to be involved in the craziness.

NHS Induction Ceremony

     Tonight was my school’s induction ceremony for NHS. Twenty-three of us got accepted. For one night we got to be honored in front of our friends and families. I got to walk up on stage and accept my certificate with twenty-two of my classmates. It was nice to get acknowledged for our hard work. Also this will help us all with college which is awesome. I’m excited to keep moving.

Walkout Day!

     Today is National School Walkout Day! Students across the country  walked out of their classes at 10:00 A.M. to protest in whatever way they chose. I, as well as two other students, organized and planned our schools walkout. We got the permission of our school administrators to assure that no students that wanted to participate would get in trouble for leaving class. This also allowed us to have teachers and a couple of police officers watch over the protest. Our walkout met in the school’s auditorium. For our demonstration we created a slideshow of all 17 victims of the Parkland school shooting; giving one minute for each student.  I was honestly amazed that so many students participated and stayed quiet and respectful for all 17 minutes of the presentation. Many of today’s protests were focused on gun control, but that was not our goal. Our goal was to honor the victims of Parkland and to bring attention to the safety of our schools. I strongly believe th...

Fishing

      I’ve liked fishing since I was a little girl. I’ve always had a lot of fun going out with my family and spending time at the lake. However, my family stopped going when I was still young. I still like to fish, but I didn’t really have anyone to take me. Today my boyfriend bought me a fishing license and took me fishing with his family. I had a lot of fun. Fishing is one of his favorite things so it was nice to be able to go with him. I’m hoping that since he got me a license we will be able to go more often over the summer. I think it’ll be a good chance for us to do something together that he really enjoys.
