The Art of School

So I'm writing this blog post in commemoration of my first day back from spring break, not like there is anything exciting in that. I really just hate having to go back to day in and out of mindless tasks, and work that will never get done. Anyway it seems like every time we come back to school after the break I immediately start counting down the days until the next break. By the way summer break is 10 weeks away (counting down the days). So to help you get through the rough stretch know as the spring quarter here are some ways I stay sane during the school year.

1. Stay Calm

No matter what happens freaking out only makes things worse. You put of that 10 page history paper off until the night before, don't sweat it. Take deep breaths and calm down. When you are worried and stressed, it only makes the situation worse because you are making things to seem harder than they are. Yeah it wasn't a smart idea to wait for the night before, but hey that's life. Listen to some chill music, drink a nice hot cup of tea, and get down to business.

     2.  Do Something you Like

Most of the time when we have tons of homework, and extracurricular on our schedules, we forget to set aside much needed relaxation time for ourselves. So please, make time for you because you are important! Even if it's just short little moments were you listen to your favorite song and jam out, any time where you are doing something you enjoy helps you wind down from the hectic and activity filled days. So blog, write, read, paint, anything relaxing to you, or do anything that would release stress

   3. Socialize

I can not stress how important it is to make sure you have a social life. I'm not saying that you have to go ragging keggers every weekend, but a nice shopping day with your friends, or even just vegging out at home watching tv shows and ranting. Having someone you trust to talk to and hang with is a necessity of high school, and life in general. Friends are people that are always there for you, and chances are they are going through the same thing as so you can just have hour long vent sessions about what you are going through at school, or life in general. Set a date to hang out with best friends.

   4. Have Fun

The main purpose of high school is to prepare you for college, but it's also supposed to be a learning experience. It's not a torture chamber, it's supposed to help us learn and grow as people, so make the most of it! Go join clubs, student councils, go to the dances, do whatever you can to be involved in those 4 years. You want to be able to look back at high school, and reminisce on the great times you had. So go out and have fun!

So these are 4 key things that I think are key to mastering the art of school

These are my Confessions

So it has been an eternity since I have last written, but a lot has happened. I finally finished my first year of high school, and it was not as bad as I had expected it to be. Frankly, it was a lot more boring than I expected. This summer though is ten times better than what I ever imagined it would be.  This was truly my summer of firsts. I'm not going into gushy details about my summer, because no one has time for that, but the highlights of my summer where: going to camp and meeting a ton of really awesome people, and working at my school's summer program, which was a blast and I got to meet a ton of really amazing and talented kids. Overall this summer was kind of a blur, and now that it is coming to a close I'm very sad to see it go, even though I've been bumming around my house these past few weeks.  I could keep rambling about all the great things I have planned for next year but I'd like to surprise people. I hope everyone has a great rest of their summer, or great beginning of their school year.

Jamie out.
 

Valentines Day

So Valentines day is coming up soon, and just like every other year the only valentine I have are my parents, and my friends who always have those really corny and awfully pun filled cards from the store. I feel like valentines day is a pointless holiday unless you are married, have a boyfriend, or some other form of companionship. Like all the other lonely kids out their I personally am only in it for the candy. This holiday is really meant to spend time with someone and show love and appreciation, and  really is just a semi pointless holiday. Now don't get me wrong I love Valentine's day, my parents and my sisters always get me a really good book, a stuffed animal, and chocolate my favorite things ever, but it just always makes me feel lonely for some reason but I mean it could just be those stupid teenage hormones.
So for all those kids spending their Valentines day alone, or if you have a date, or just anyone  here are some of my favorite songs to jam out to.

Monday Morning Madness

So to start the week of right I decided to included this poem I like hope you enjoy!

IT'S A NEW DAY

It's a new day
Another chance to discover
And rediscover
And make changes
And enjoy life.
A chance to reach out.
A chance to hold on
To the things that are dear.
It's a new day
Another opportunity.
A chance to live
And love
And laugh; The chance of a lifetime.

From the Abyss

So I totally forgot about this blog, but after some reminiscing and thinking about it, I decided that I would start out again blogging and telling my sad awkward story of life as a teenager. So yeah this post is kind of pointless but i'm back. I've risen from the abyss. So stay tuned

Later,
Jam

Old Habits Die Hard

So I know I really have fallen off with my blogging, and I can't even think of a good excuse. So i'm sorry. On the bright side, I have started high school, and it's pretty demanding. I really like it, but sometimes I miss having some free-time. So this post is basically me just apologizing, and I have hollowed out a little time in my week to try and post more often. Okay Goodbye!

Haute Nails

Hey there blog world! Have you ever felt that your nails were very bland and boring? Cause I feel like that a lot. So I attached a link for DIY Ombre Nails (click there). This looks really cute, but I was really stupid and I thought Hey why don't I try it with red and orange. I was out of my mind when I thought that. I suggest using light colors, or the the colors on the tutorial because those work best. Have fun doing it and email me some finished products at jamie.peace.love@gmail.com


Love,
