Well, December is here folks. It's certainly been awhile, sorry about that. Senior year is proving to be more difficult than I thought. Bt it's okay, I can handle it . . . I think. The holidays are such a strange time of year. There is so much going on, it's hard to absorb everything. Now before I get to life lessons and all that, let me catch you up on a few things . . .
I moved. Like, I moved houses. I'm now ten times farther away from school, oh joy. I have a car, that I can't drive, YET. School is hard. Friends are confusing. Still have a boyfriend. I just realized I need to start my Christmas shopping. Oh yeah and I forgot to mention that I hate journalism. Who knew it would suck the life out of me, and it's only the first semester. I'm drowning in stress. I didn't think that was possible, but I have found out that it is very possible. I don't feel like it's preparing me for what I actually want to be, a journalist. Now don't get me wrong, I love my teacher and the staff. They are all so amazing. I just hate how I feel like I'm letting them down every day. The stress is affecting my work, in a very bad way. I use to be such a good writer, now I suck.
I think you're all caught up now.
Time for life lessons.
I know it's stupid, a 17 year old with life lessons. But I have seen enough in my short time here on this planet, to know what's what. Big life changes can be amazing and wonderful, or just down right bad. I can't even think of a better word. Bad. Adults say, "just take it one step at a time, it will be okay." LIES. Complete lies. I mean I know adults lie to us for our own good but sometimes they need to grow up and just tell us the truth. Sit the kid down and say, "This will totally suck and your'e gunna hate it. But I'm sorry that's life, let's go get a cookie." I improvised that last part. But it's true. Life is evil sometimes. Now personally, I don't believe in the guy upstairs, the Almighty, number one, or for those who couldn't guess, God. I like the idea of believing in something bigger than me, and I do. It's jut not really a religion. Getting off topic, my point is that life is going to suck sometimes and people need to understand that. Will it get better? Sure it will. But we don't know when or how to make it get better faster. You just gotta do what Edison did and keep failing until you understand what not to do. Failing and being miserable can be fun, believe it or not. It helps you understand what true happiness really is. Now before I bore you, let me leave you with this: In order to enjoy those wonderful moments in life, you must first have a terrible one. Otherwise, you just won't understand what makes those moments so wonderful.
