Whether your high school was public or private, co-ed or single sex, top in the county or a fail-factory, your high school years was (or is if you still are in high school like me) some of your most memorable years. They were the days of drama over who is going out with the football team quarterback, and picking on the school nerd (I’m so sorry if you were/are that person and know that I’ve been told I have a pretty good listening ear for those who need it). One of the biggest dramas I have found in my sophomore year of high school this year is life balance. My day’s are jam packed with homework, sports and activities and I’m counting the days until I leave for Atlanta for Thanksgiving break. The only reason I have time to even write this blog is because I like to procrastinate on my homework and squeeze this in before school, break/snack time, and lunch. Here’s what a typical day for me looks like:
6am- wake up
7am- leave for school
7:15-8am- study in the library (aka: blog!)
8-3:30pm- school
3:45-5:30pm- crew training (I’m extremely sore from yesterdays practice and I have a crazy one later today)
6:30pm- get home
6:45pm- shower
7pm- dinner
7:30-12am- homework
…then do it all over again… 5 times a week…
Its pretty crazy, especially when an A+ paper at your old school is now a B or B- paper… talk about raising the expectations. But really looking at my life though, I have some great friends (even if they aren’t all on the same continent and I really wish it hasn’t been 3 years since I last saw them), a wonderful family, and a great school. Right now, as a teenage girl, I can easily say that I have everything I want (even if I am single, I am currently cherishing that fact, I had bad first boyfriend drama that ended last May). Sometimes, I really envy my dad because he comes home from work and he just sits on the couch and watches that crazy guy that talks about the stock market and then watches some golf channels, eats chips, helps me with my homework and that’s it. Me, a student, my night is all homework. My mom who is a teacher, her night is grading papers… although she watched TV while she does it… I’m not allowed >_< .
Well, I have a lab report to write, and class is starting soon. Please leave a comment, like, follow. Just tell me what you think, it will really mean the world to me. (And I can not do my lab report as I read what you have to say) ❤
