Christmas

     So it is now two days after Christmas and I have made it through four Christmases. My first Christmas was at my papa’s house. My aunt and her husband cane in to have dinner and exchange presents with us. My grandma got me an Instax Polaroid camera and my aunt got me a silver Penn State bracelet. My second Christmas was on Christmas Eve at my grandma’s. This year I decided to bring my boyfriend along and hope for the best. He’s been to a lot of family things but I’ve never actually thought a guy could handle Christmas at my grandma’s before. Christmas at my grandma’s is crazy because it’s about 35 people all packed into her small house trying to eat dinner and open presents at one time. My grandma got me fuzzy socks, candy, and a gift card, which  at my age is actually very appreciated. I got my grandma a new curling iron; this was actually my first year buying my grandma a present separate from my parents. My boyfriend got me a giant stuffed dog and a box of Hershey’s chocolates. I got him a Harry Potter shirt from universal (if you weren’t familiar with Harry Potter all you would see is a deer), sour gummy worms, and a small photo album with pictures of us over the past 9 and a half months. It may not seem like much, but for two high schoolers you have to improvise. I actually really love my present from my boyfriend because he doesn’t have a job to have a lot of money, but he still got me something he knew I’d really like. Next was Christmas at my house with my parents. My second favorite gift was a 20th Anniversary Edition Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone that was Ravenclaw themed. My favorite is a three day weekend trip to Orlando for later in January. I’ll update you guys on that later. My final Christmas was at my Meme’s (grandma) house. We had a nice dinner and opened presents. My Meme got us all $100 visa gift cards and got me a scarf. I’m really thankful for my family and love Christmas. Even if their were no presents I’d still love Christmas because I get to see my family.

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.
