A Graduation Poem

Graduation is near
It’s all coming to an end
But there is no need to fear

We will all shed a tear
For it’s right around the bend
Graduation is near

Time to get our butts in gear
So much to mail and send
But there is no need to fear

We have made friends oh so dear
Always there with hands to lend
Graduation is near

Congratulations we now hear
Time flies like the wind
But there is no need to fear

Waiting for our futures to appear
We’re moving on my friend
Graduation is near
But there is no need to fear

Being Angry Doesn't Change Anything

The Little Things That Bother Me...

1. The fact that standardize testing can't be interesting
2. That prom dresses never fit me without a tons of alterations
3. That people can't read in there heads
4. People that talk to loud
5. My dog chewing my shoes
6. That no one else in my house is capable of doing the dishes
7a. That the shower runs cold when you turn on the kitchen sink
         7b. That my sister thinks its funny
8. Douchebags that think they're funny
9. The next season isn't on Netflix
10. When people cry
11. The conditioner always runs out before the shampoo
12. Cox has really bad cable service
13. People that don't use turn signals

And I realize that none of these things matter, at all, in anyway shape or form. I just need to suck it up.

Moms

My mother is a special woman and here is a recent situation that will prove my claim

#1: last week my mom got a mammogram, and was complaining about how painful and awkward it was and this was the conversation we a had…

                Mom: “… and they squish them”

                Me: “hey at least you don’t have to worry about prostate exams”

                Mom: “I know, I’m never getting one of those unless I have to.”

                Me: *sighs shakes head disapprovingly*

My mother may lack book smarts and the basics of human anatomy, but she makes up for it with heart. You’ve been an A+ mom for 18 years,  and I love you. Happy mothers day! (p.s. I know it’s the 11^th)

DRIVE

Recently I have been thinking about my weaknesses, especially that now I’m an “adult” and have to face the big scary world all on my own. I’m going to have to start doing more things for myself because soon mommy won’t be there to make me a wholesome snack and daddy can’t kill the spiders. I have to fight all my own battles, and though they may be small there shear number is what frightens me. Soon there will be no one to put my clothes in the dryer so I don’t go to work damp or hide my roku remote in my messy room forcing me to clean it before I can watch more TV. That’s my weakness, not that I’m incapable of cooking (because I can!) or that I melt in to a puddle of tears when I see a cockroach, it’s that I lack determination, willpower, self-control, what every you want to call it, I can do these things for myself I just chose not to. I realize this now, and have a year to rectify it, which my senior year has taught me is no time at all.

Happiness

This blog is supposed to be about the things that matter most to us, the opinions that shape who we are, advice we have to give. Well I don’t have much to say. The advice I give is usually noting more than the standard clichés, I have no strong political beliefs or affiliations, and spiritually I’m not the strongest. I have only lived a very small portion of what I hope to be a very long life, with this in mind I know I have much to learn. But in my 18 years I have come to know one thing to be absolutely true, don’t be afraid to let yourself be happy, because there is nothing worse than regret.

For so long I was okay with not being okay, but though a series of events and actions, both mine and others, I learned I had no reason to be this way. I may still not be little miss sunshine but it really does get better, you just have to try. If there is something you don’t like about yourself change it, friends putting you down get new ones, change the things that make you sad because you deserve to be happy.
