Abortion

No!! I'm not pregnant! You can stop freaking out now! No, I just heard that the Senate passed a bill that stopped funding towards Planned Parenthood. And then in my art class I have to do a controversial art project. I was thinking of doing mine on child abuse or abortion. But I mean I cannot believe they stopped funding for Planned Parenthood!! People need that to check for STD's too!! I'm not going to openly share my opinions on abortion I am just going to state some opinions that people have so that no one gets offended. People for abortion may argue about teen pregnancy or rape and girls being too young to have a baby. People against abortion may argue that people should not kill a living baby and that they can just give it to adoption or take care of it even if it was an accident. So everyone believes what they believe. 

So, controversial issues. Where to start? From gay marriage to child abuse to abortion to unequal societies and so much more. An example that my art teacher showed us for a controversial painting really inspired me. 

This is so deep!!! Oh my gosh! This is called "A Tale of Two Hoodies". He also painted a picture about how the NRA responded to that school shooting in 2012. 

What?!!! This is incredible! It makes such a deep statement! So I'm hoping to do the same with my art piece. And did you hear about the girl who made a painting of Donald Trump out of her own menstrual blood!! She did it because Donald Trump basically asked a girl reporter if it was her time of the month! That makes me so mad! Just because girls PMS doesn't mean you can blame everything we do on that! My art teacher was saying that yes it is kind of gross that she made it out of her own menstrual blood but if she just made a regular painting, no one would care. She is making a statement by painting it that way. Alright there's my rant for the day. Yeesh, there are so many problems in the world. So I'm signing off with another image with a powerful message. 

Senioritis

So I had a test today for Government and I probably should have studied for it because I'm pretty sure I did terrible on it. And you know what? I don't even care because this evening I had so much shit to do!!! I had to look at colleges and scholarships and essays and it took up my whole evening! So now I finally have time to do this post. I guess I just have to remember that colleges still look at senior year too. I probably won't even post tomorrow because I'm taking my senior pictures. So here's the shortest post reminding people to stop slacking! Ok whoo, signing off with an inspirational quote. 

Living My Life Through Others

So I know how I said yesterday that everyone is wasting their lives away on social media? Yeah I'm doing that now. I don't mean to but it's so much fun!! My sister introduced me to this new app called After School where people only from your school post stuff and it's really funny. People are even admitting who they like at our school because the posts are anonymous so no one knows who posted what. So that is how I spent my entire morning today. And by 10 in the morning, my phone was at 50%. So.... I suck. 

So of course when I looked up this picture there were tons of articles about cyber bullying and threats on this app. I haven't seen any in my school's feed yet but it's probably going to happen sooner or later. I feel like it's all fun and games at first and then it goes bad. 

I am also now obsessed with this app called Whisper. It's another anonymous thing where you can post sayings or confessions or whatever you want. But it isn't just with your school it's with everyone. I'm pretty sure cyber bullying has already started on this app. I found a post saying "The only time I can really show that I am hurt is when I'm in the shower". At the time I was looking at inspirational quotes and I found a quote that said "Your skin isn't paper, don't cut it".

So I posted that quote as a reply to that post and they replied to me. But they were nasty!! They said "I don't believe in self harm, way to judge". I wasn't judging!! I was just posting a quote!! 

I deleted my reply so that I never had to look at that response again. Some people just don't know when to stop. I love to help people so I thought, if this person is self harming themselves I want to help them because I am a nice person. I never say stuff because I'm judging. Even though that wasn't straight out cyber bullying, it still made me feel bad. 

I've heard that some people use whisper as a dating site but it's also just a place to admit stupid stuff that you can't say if anyone knew it was you. Here is an example of an After School post:

So it just appears like that with the writing and then a picture underneath it. Here is an example of a Whisper post:

So basically you can chose the font of the words and then pick a picture to go beneath it. So those are the apps that I am wasting my life on. And the thing is, if I just deleted all of it out of my life, it would make my life so much better. And I wouldn't even miss it because that isn't actually a part of your life. But I won't delete it because I love knowing what other people are doing and what is going on with everyone every second of the day. See!!! That's what I'm talking about!! You are not living your life for yourself! You are thinking about what other people are doing and how much cooler that is then what you are doing. So go out and do something cool!!!! You need to live your life and stop worrying about other's lives. 

Wow, I'm so glad I got that off my chest. The words just poured out of me. I'm going to go live my life now. Signing off with a Simpsons character with a message for me and for you. 

All The Time We Have

I cannot believe time!!

Ok, normally I don't like time because during school I hate waiting for the most boring class to end. But here's the thing, I spend my days waiting for school to get out and then urging the week to go faster so that I can get to the weekend. But then during the weekend I only spend a few hours with my family and the rest I spend at work, hoping the hours go faster. So the only real moments I enjoy are a few hours during the week and about half the days during the weekend. I'm totally wasting my life!! I only have so much time left before I go off to college and leave my family in Ohio. Plus everyone spends so much time watching T.V. and playing on their phones that they can't even have that time spent with their family!

I am going to try spending less time wasting time and more time with my family and friends. You never know how long you might have left. So I am urging everyone who is reading this post to stop with all of the useless time spent on your phone! You need to spend time with people! Get off the couch! Turn off the TV! Go outside! We only have a few warm days left until winter, we should be enjoying the last of it. Think about it. So I am signing off with a Garfield comic!!!

So Stressed

Hey so I haven't written on this in a while, sorry about that. I can't believe what went on in the last few days. I have so much freaking stuff to do!! If I was at home right now my dad would tell me to stop blogging and to go write my college admissions essay. Here is a list of things I need to do and their due dates:

1. College admissions essay due December 1st
2. Teacher recommendation letter due December 1st
3. Personal statement for college due December 1st
4. Get my licence by the end of senior year
5. Somehow have $13,000 in my bank account by the end of senior year

I am screwed!!!! Plus I have super huge writers block right now so my admissions essay and personal statement looks like crap. I can't think about anything to write about!! I am so stressed!! I need some inspiration. 

I just saw a quote that said "Stressed spelled backwards is desserts". I am so craving some desserts right now. I hate being stressed out!! So I guess this is a short post because I've got some other writing to do. Not that I can think of anything. So I'm signing off with a Hagar the Horrible comic. 

Kid Life

I want to be a kid again for just one day. Doesn't it sound fun to go back to when you have no responsibilities where you can just play with dolls and where you are energetic all day. Where you can act like an idiot and no one will tell you "Act your age!" 

I know this is going to be kind of a short blog but nothing has really happened to me recently. I mean this is probably going to jinx it and after I post this something will happen but I'll tell you about it tomorrow. To those that have not left and keep reading my posts I say Thank You! It is so great to know that people are actually enjoying what I am writing. 

So I don't actually have anything else to say but I'll try and think of something more interesting for tomorrow. Signing off with a Dennis the Menace comic!

Best Night Ever

Homecoming! The night of my dreams!! It was so much fun!!! Dancing with friends just brings so much excitement into my life!

I've decided that I am only going to be blogging during the week because the weekends are for me. Guess what! They have Sharkboy and Lavagirl on Netflix. That movie is so stupid and over dramatic but I love it anyways. My stepmom came in and watched the last half with me and then said "That was the worst movie I've ever seen" and then she turned on Gossip Girl. Just letting you know, my stepmom is not evil! She's very nice and I love her. 

Look at that!!! Taylor Lautner as a kid!! So cute! Oh and you know that guy Wesley in my "Guy Friends" post? Yeah it's all cool now because we're dating! Oh my god!! I only liked him as a friend and then on Homecoming night I started liking him! So still didn't keep a guy friend but got a great boyfriend. 

This is so true! My grandpa has threatened that if I ever bring my boyfriend over he is going to be cleaning his gun during the visit. 

I kind of want to tell any guy I have ever liked "If I stay up late for you, you mean something to me because I love my sleep". I am so tired right not because I stayed up so late texting Wesley. But it was totally worth it. 

Have any of you ever heard the song "New Americana" by Hasley? It's so good that I have been listening to it on repeat for the last three days. 

So right now I am sitting in class and my mascara and eyeliner from Homecoming is still on my eyes. It was caked on so much that it is literally still here from Saturday! It still looks good though. So I think that's it I really don't have anything else to rant or talk about. Signing off with a Foxtrot comic!
