Test taking

kittenqueen3Leave a comment

I hate taking tests more than anything even more than I hate Mondays. I’ve never walked away from a test thinking I did good. Even if I end up with a good score I still feel like I could have done more and better. When I try to study for tests I often feel overwhelmed just by looking at the material. Multiple choices are both my favorite and least favorite kinds of questions. Sometimes there are two answers that both seem right and the correct one is the one that is considered “most right”. That should. be illegal. I’ve been told I tend to give up the second I don’t understand something and I think that’s true. If I don’t get a concept or topic instantly it frustrates me. School has come easily to me my entire life and recently it hasn’t been there’s nothing more frustrating than not understanding your own brain. I can’t explain it one day there was just a switch in my brain and suddenly school didn’t come easy.

Winter break

kittenqueen3Leave a comment

I am going to Colombia with my family this winter break to see my extended family for the week. I am so excited not only to see my family but also tan. Being tan makes me feel so much happier and healthier. Being tan is like its own makeup, a feeling no other can compare to. I love Colombia and seeing my family the food is amazing and it’s always a great trip. This year we are taking a trip to Isla Baru an island off the coast of Cartagena. I love going to all-inclusive resorts and relaxing all day. Tanning is like a sport to me it pushes my limits and feels like a lot of work. I often set timers to take “tanning breaks” where I get food, water and often find some shade. Being tan not only makes me happy but makes me look healthier and less sickly looking.

College

kittenqueen3Leave a comment

In my head, I am still a 13-year-old girl who just discovered makeup and spent my weekends at home with my family. In reality, I’m a 16-year-old girl with my driver’s license and I spend most of my free time with my friends. People have always told me “high school flies by” but why did it actually. How am I going to be deciding where I want to live in a year from now. What do you mean I won’t live at home anymore and I won’t be surrounded by the people I’ve grown up with. What if I don’t like where I end up or I get homesick. I have always wanted to leave Ojai but now I’m facing the reality of leaving all my best friends and it has left me distraught. I’ve begun to look at colleges but the thought of being all on my own is very scary. I can barely make a meal and do my laundry. I have such a big fear of being independent. I don’t like being alone I rather be with my friends or family and the thought of college heavily terrifies me.

My room

kittenqueen3Leave a comment

Throughout my life keeping my room clean has never really been a priority until this summer. Growing up my family always mocked me about my room being messy and I shrugged it off. They never understood how overwhelming my room was to me I would just look around and see the piles of clothes on the floor growing and my messy vanity along with my nightstand full of an assortment of opened drinks and snacks. During the summer I went through a rough patch and one day decided to deep clean my room. This took an entire day but at the end of it all I felt so accomplished and slept so soundly. I realized that having my room be a sanctuary in the chaos of my brain was extremely relieving. I began maintaining my room and making it a daily priority. There’s something about coming home after a long stressful day to a nice clean room and being able to just decompress and relax that nothing compares to.

Hoodies

kittenqueen3Leave a comment

Hoodies are my absolute favorite piece of clothing. There’s something about their comfy, soft fabric and oversized fit that feels like a calming warm hug. Whether it’s a chilly school morning or a lazy weekend afternoon, hoodies are perfect for any time. I love their compatibility you can pair them with jeans or, workout clothes, or even use them as a comfy layer while relaxing at home. The front pocket is also super convenient for keeping my hands warm or carrying stuff like my phone or keys. Hoodies come in so many colors, designs, and materials, making it easy to have a different one for every color. No matter the season, a hoodie always makes me feel comfortable. I way rather feel comfortable than anything. Hoodies allow me to be both comfortable and cute. I probably own around 40 hoodies they are a staple in my closet and forever will be.

Spotify Wrapped

kittenqueen3Leave a comment

I am so excited for Spotify wrapped this year I have listened to a lot of new music. I don’t know what to expect because I have listened to so many genres. I’ve gone through phases where I on repeat listen to the same songs for months. My favorite part of Spotify wrapped is the playlist that is made with all the songs you listened to the most that year. My Spotify wrapped last year was like all Taylor Swift and I know there’s not gonna be much of that this year. I also love comparing my Spotify wrapped with my friends and seeing which songs we both have. Last year I was in the top 1 percent of Taylor Swift listeners and I have a feeling I will be in the top small percentage of Drake listeners this year. Anyway that’s all when my wrapped comes out I will probably write a blog about it so be excited.

Fear of procrasination

kittenqueen3Leave a comment

At the end of my sophomore year, I had to choose my classes for junior year and I had 2 options. I could take normal classes probably have more free time and be less stressed or I could challenge myself to do AP classes, have barely any free time and a lot of stress. Me being the great decision-maker I am I choose to sign up for 5 AP classes. During the summer while I was working on summer assignments I quickly realized 5 APs would simply be to much. Knowing I would have my license and more freedom I didn’t want to spend all my time doing school work, so I dropped one. It is now the end of the first quarter and I’m doing great my social life is thriving and so is my academic life. There is a lingering fear in the back of my head that I will fall behind and my grades will drop but this hasn’t happened yet. I’ve been consistent in all my classes and I really do hope this continues. I have learned to have a positive attitude, even if I feel everything but positive. Changing my outlook on school has made doing my homework and studying so much easier. Today is Halloween and the first day of school I’ve missed all year which is very impressive as last year I missed way to much school.

Music

kittenqueen3Leave a comment

I need a new playlist right now. My music taste is very unique, I like different music depending on my mood I can go from listening to Gracie Abrams to Travis Scott. I like most genres of music, I just hate classical music because it makes me want to fall asleep. I have like 4 playlists of all different genres that I cycle through but I am getting very sick of my main rap playlist. I need to make a new one but I don’t know what songs to even put on it. I am at the point where I have overplayed songs way too much and now am sick of them. I’ve been trying to listen to my 2000 throwback playlist but now I am getting sick of that as well so now I’m listening to my country playlist again. I need to make a driving playlist and a crash-out playlist.

Fall

kittenqueen3Leave a comment

This morning I got my first pumpkin spice chai tea from Starbucks. The moment I took a sip I felt fall in the air. Don’t get me wrong I love summer more then anything, but there is something about fall that I find calming. After a long hot summer, the temperature starts to go down, Friday night football starts up, and most importantly Halloween and Homecoming. Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons I can finally start wearing comfy hoodies and sweats and get a hot chai before school. It’s not super cold yet but the summer heat is coming to an end. I associate a lot of things with fall but the most important one has to be pumpkins. I love pumpkins whether it’s carving them or having a pumpkin pie. There is something about Fall that is just comforting and I am so happy it finally cools down.

License

kittenqueen3Leave a comment

I have been wanting my license since I before I can remember, and I was confident I was going to get it. I passed my permit test first try and I barely studied so I felt confident in the fact I could get my license. From both my friends and family I have received compliments for my good driving. I went to the DMV confident in my abilities but then I failed. I failed because I didn’t look over my shoulder when making a right turn into the DMV. I was, to say the least extremely upset when I failed because the driving instructor literally told me to make this right turn very suddenly and I was not prepared. When you fail your test you have to wait 15 days to wait before you can retake it. So I’m taking my test again on September 26 and I will definitely look over my shoulder this time.
