Counting

My editor can’t count. Much love. I have to do another blog now, but it’s fine. Honestly, I can’t count either, so no hate. Anyway, how did any of those famous mathematicians find love in numbers? Every time I enter math, my brain starts to disintegrate. Love Mr. Obrien, but math actually makes me go crazy. He tried to show us a diamond method to try and factor an equation, and I don’t think I’ve ever been more confused in my life, respectfully. Then, Mrs. Reyes showed us the box method, and it immediately made way more sense. So, sorry, not sorry. Right now, we’re learning about going from vertex form to standard form, then to intercept form, then back to standard form, then back to vertex form. Genuinely not to be rude or anything, but how is this going to help me do anything important in life? When am I going to need to know the vertex of my right knee in order to become a lawyer or psychologist? Ugh idk. Bye.

Mothers

Mothers are the foundation of who we are. The number of times that I’ve gotten the saying “you act just like your mom” proves this to be true. They are our caretakers. They are there for us in the hardest times. They don’t sugarcoat something we need to hear. They say the things that you don’t want to acknowledge, but they only say this because they love you. I love my mother. My mother is the foundation for my existence. If I were given the choice to choose a mother, every time, and in every universe, I would choose her. My mom often doubts herself and her capabilities to parent, but I don’t think she understands that I wouldn’t be where I am today if she weren’t my mom. I love her so much, and I’m not ready to move away for college. But, knowing my mom, she’s going to make it feel like nothing has changed. She will call every day, send me gifts, and probably make a surprise visit, because just like how I can’t stand to live without her, she can’t stand to live without me. I love my mom so much, and I know she loves me.

That damn phone

My mom was right, it is that damn phone. Every time I go on my phone, I know I should be doing something more productive, but instead, I sit and scroll through TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and Pinterest, and genuinely enter a flow state. Not a good one, though. I’ve started to notice that my eyes will start to hurt if I’m on a device for too long. My eyes start to get fuzzy, and it looks like I’m dreaming. Even though I’m aware of this happening, I still continue to sit on my phone. It’s a problem. When I start studying, I have to put my phone in a different room from me or give it to my mom. Honestly, everyone should do that; it’s helped me study better. Anyway, I need to limit my phone usage exponentially. It is a PROBLEM. This is how Apple gets you: they make everything look so appetizing to your eyes, and it makes you want more. They are probably watching me now that I said this. Anyways, being on my phone and seeing these unreal bodies and unreal beauty standards lowkey makes me hate myself, so I need to just stay clear of like the industry?? I don’t even know. To sum it up, phone = bad for eyes, self-esteem, and studying. Mwah bye.

Sleep

I love sleep, but no matter how much I get of it, I’m always tired at school. That may just be a me problem, but I don’t know. The feeling of being tired is so good yet so bad at the same time. When I’m about to go to sleep, being tired is the best thing, but when I’m tired and I can’t sleep, it’s the worst. Aside from actually sleeping, nighttime is the best time of day. When you look up at the sky, the stars radiate throughout the whole night. Every star is unique in its own way, also the constellations are beautiful. The fact they we are just on a floating rock in the middle of nowhere is so crazy to me. Anyway, back to the original point, sleep is amazing. Everything about and surrounding it is amazing. Sleep rejuvenates my body, most of the time, except for when classes are boring. But sleep is great, it’s necessary for everyone, and is the best feeling ever. I love love LOVE sleep.

Fall

Fall is one of my favorite seasons. The weather is perfect. It’s cold in the mornings and sometimes carries throughout the day. There is occasional rain and wind. Fall isn’t just a season; fall comes with a vibe that no other season can bring. The crisp air, pumpkin patches, and pumpkin-flavored drinks are my favorites. Nature transforms from green and vibrant to red, orange, and yellow, and everything becomes cozy. Fall is great, but there are some things I don’t like. Losing an hour is not something I like. Also, everything is so dry because of how cold the air is. Along with that, my summer shade has gone away, and I am now white. My concealer is too orange for my face. Anyway, there are good and bad things about fall, but overall, the good outweighs the bad. I love how people act during the fall and the clothes that I get to where, and I can finally put a sweater on my dog.

Grades

My grades right now are not an accurate representation of who I want to be as a student. My APES grade is not good at all. That test that everyone in my class took was so confusing. Other than APES, my grades aren’t terrible, a couple of A’s, some B’s, but I wish they were all A’s. College is not as far as it was last year, and I really need to start doing better if I even want a chance at getting into a good college. Not only is there stuff inside of school, but there’s stuff outside of school as well. I really need to spend more time focusing on school than worrying about other things. The annoying part is that there is no opportunity for me to even improve my grade in APES because the only things that change it are the tests. So, moving forward, I really, really, really need to study and focus because this path I’m headed down is not a good one.

College

College is coming. I have realized that I waited a bit too long to start my extracurriculars. I did some things in my sophomore year, but the colleges that I want to get into need far more than what I have accomplished. Even though it’s a hard process, I think I can do it. My ability to get into the colleges I really want relies solely on my shoulders, and it’s up to me to make my dream come true. People aren’t lying when they say that you need to start doing stuff freshman year. Other people around me seem to not care as much, and I end up thinking that I might be stressing myself out. However, I know what I want to do, and I know what I need to do in order to get into good colleges, and that’s up to me. I need to stop worrying about what everyone else is doing.

Stress

I’m done. This life is too stressful. I’m tired of literally everyone. I don’t want to have to explain anything to anyone. I don’t want anything to change. Why can’t I just leave it the way it is? Why does it have to become complicated? Let’s just leave it. But then you’ll start asking questions, why, how come, but why? I don’t know. You’ll have a better idea than I do, and it’s an issue that I have, so that should tell you something if you have a better understanding than I do. Part of me doesn’t even wanna do this thing anymore, but she said that change is good and I need to adjust and just go for it, but I just don’t want to. I can’t lol. This stresses me out, and I’d rather not than do. No one gets it, but whatever. That’s life, lowkey. So, yeah.

Bordem

I’m so bored, there’s nothing to do in my house, no food, no activities, just my TV, cats, and dog. I’m also just lazy. I don’t want to do anything, lowkey I just want to chill, everyone’s always doing too much. Everyone in the world just needs to calm down, because it was never that deep. Back to the main point, I’m still bored, Friday night, nothing to do, just sleep or something. I don’t even know. I should go feed my animals, but my cats are so fat they don’t need any food. My dog is the one who needs food. He’s so skinny and white, not that it has anything to do with it, but just saying. He’s kind of ugly but in a cute way, but Akyra thinks he’s the ugliest thing to ever exist, which is mean. But anyway, I’m still bored. I guess I’ll watch a show, ok? Bye.

AP Psychology

The original meaning of Psychology was the “study of the soul.” Now, through time, it has been twisted and turned into the study of the human mind. You sit in class as a bearded man is preaching to you, the functions of the mind and brain, your conscious and subconscious, that you have no control over. But how? How can my mind and soul be controlled without my knowledge? What is making me remain seated to write, and what is making you read and listen to me blab about nonsense that you don’t have a care for? Is that the unknown subconscious, is that my subconscious? The study of the mind and soul, yet you and I have no idea of the unknown. Psychology is the study of behavior and how the mind functions. Each branch that you explore has a deeper meaning than it portrays; all of that living inside the brain attached to your neck, surrounded by nerves and flesh, and muscle, and hard, spongy bone protecting those branches. The original meaning, “study of the soul,” is so close to yet so far from the science of Psychology.
