Changes

brownbeansLeave a comment

Do you ever look back at old memories and actually see how much you’ve changed? While we are living in the moment, we don’t notice the changes happening. Slowly, our hair grows out, our friends come and go, and we are completely different people.

As I was making my (very beautiful) senior page, I was going through memories I had forgotten about. I saw old friends, some I wish were still in my life, others I wish I had dropped sooner. But they were all learning experiences that helped me grow into who I am now.

I found pictures of my middle school friend and me. We moved to different high schools but were still close in our freshman year. At one point, she was my whole world. But the distance grew between us, and we slowly drifted apart. I think I blocked her on social media.

Some things never change, though. My best friend, my weird hair, my love for cute water bottles, and my fondness for my friends. I can’t wait to go to college and change up my environment again. I’ll miss this boring, predictable school.

Blurb and Thoughts

I swear, when I don’t have a blog to write, I have some good ideas, but when it’s time actually to write one, my brain blanks. I would always do another movie review, but I don’t really have one in mind right now. Ten Things – I can’t think of ten things to like or hate at the moment. 

I also have to make it 150 words. Although I find it difficult, once I really get into my blog, I sometimes exceed the word limit. Like right now, the more words I can think about, the higher my word count gets, so all I need to do is think of words to use, like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Now that’s a fun word to say. 

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, I just searched up what it means. It does have a meaning; I thought it was a fun word to say that came out of a Disney movie. Anyway, I have reached and surpassed the word limit.

Quentin Tarentino’s Underrated Gem – Death Proof

Halos_击Leave a comment

Quentin Tarantino is known for a plethora of films, most famously Kill Bill and Reservoir Dogs. But that’s not to say those are his only good films.

Over break, I was yearning for a movie. A Tarentino movie, to be exact. That’s when I look at my ‘To Watch’ list in my notes app, and I see the movie Death Proof.

I look up what the movie is about. “A stuntman who kills women with a modified car labeled as ‘Death Proof'”. That… doesn’t seem interesting. Well, not to me at least, since I’m not into cars that much.

Well, to my surprise, I really liked this movie. The music, the visuals, the makeup, the comedy, and the actors. Despite being considered a “flop” to Tarentino, this movie is held very close to my heart.

I recommend it to people who are into cars. I didn’t understand half the things that the actors were talking about when they were talking about cars. Whoops.

If I Was A Nepobaby

What Is a Nepotism Baby, Anyway? How a 'Nepo Baby' Is Born

I wish I were a nepo baby. If I were a nepo baby, life would be a lot easier. As I’ve been going through the college application process, my hopes of going places have been diminishing. The places I once was interested in attending suddenly leave a bitter taste in my mouth and an even worse hole in my finances (aka my mom’s).

I wouldn’t have to constantly think about how much debt I’m willing to go into for a piece of paper. Instead, I would be somewhere enjoying life and not causing myself stress acne. 

If I were a nepo baby, would be traveling the world and trying to start a business that might fail. Maybe get cancelled for something trivial. I would definitely be one of the more tame nepo babies. 

I’m not saying all nepo babies are spoilt, no-purpose, no-talent individuals, just some. Trace Ellis Ross, now that’s a nepo baby I would be inspired by. To be honest, I didn’t even know she was the daughter of Diana Ross, like what? Even though her mother is Diana Ross, she’s not constantly letting everybody know about it or using it to her advantage. I look up to her; she’s also just really funny.

Stressful Two Weeks

Halos_击Leave a comment

Imagine this.. you’re having a wonderful day. The flowers are swaying in the light gusts of wind, the sun is shining, and there’s no cloud in the sky, and it seems like a good day! That’s until this guy comes up, a very nice-looking man, and proceeds to take a wood plank out and hit you on the head a few times, Looney Tunes style.

Well, not actually. Yet, it seems like the guy was nice, but he ended up hurting you. That guy resembles the two weeks before break. Sure, you were a bit uneasy about this guy walking up to you, but you didn’t know he was gonna hit you several times.

There is one week left before the break. Last week? Last week sucked until the weekend. Along with this week, or what the future holds. 2 tests in your hardest classes on Thursday, and 3 easy on Friday.

I’d call that a double whammy, but considering last week had a lot of tests, too… jeez, it’s only gonna get better till break.

Still, these few days might be the longest of my life. It’s okay, my bed awaits me each time I get home. And all next week.

Drivers ED… Yeesh

Halos_击Leave a comment

Just yesterday, I decided to start drivers ED. The reason why is that every day after school, instead of waiting for the bus to come at 5:20 after school to get home at 6:00 (🫩), my friend Zooey would drop me off at the lower campus. Feeling bad, I brought it up with my parents to start drivers ED.

Of course, I have to jump through hoops just to convince them. “You can only stay in the Ojai area and Oak View!” No Ventura..? Where everything is?

Sparing arguing, I sucked it up and listened to what my boundaries are and how I can’t drive Creek Road (That’s.. one of the roads you need to go on to get to my house..), and my dad let me buy Coastline Drivers ED.

Well, better learn to drive now before I go off to college (hopefully out of state) because who’s gonna entertain my brother during breaks when I come back? He won’t be of driving age. It’s okay, I’ll drive him to the places that my parents won’t drive to.

P.C. – Google “person driving”.

Why Are We Here?

StrawberryMushroomLeave a comment

Mankind is generally considered to be the most intelligent species on Earth due to our unmatched cognitive abilities and capacity for technological advancement. No other creature comes close to our cumulative knowledge and global impact. And yet, it despite our intellect, we are the only species that doesn’t belong in the natural order of the world.

Most aspects of the natural world, whether it be plants, animals, or habitats, serve a distinct purpose and vital purpose. While there is death through competition and predation, it is all in conformity to the circle of life. While some resources are finite, these creatures could effectively sustain themselves by only taking what is absolutely necessary for survival. However, humanity is the one exception to the circle of life. No other creatures take more than what they need. No other creatures exist to serve only themselves. No other creatures are capable of making immoral or unjust actions.

Being Sick

brownbeansLeave a comment

I was sick for a while. Last Friday, I started to get a bit of a cough and a headache, but I didn’t have a fever yet, so I went about life as usual. It wasn’t until Monday, my senior night, that I entered fever temperatures and was forced into isolation.

The isolation room is like being in exile. You can’t talk to people in person, and the teachers give you food with masks and the utmost protection. I was too busy burning up to notice the day passing by. When I thought my temperature was decreasing, it would spike up, and I’d lie waiting for the sweet relief of the cold AC. On Tuesday, my temperature was normal during the day, but when it was checked at night, it spiked again, and I had to spend another day in isolation.

My friends came to visit, and they brought life into the dull room. The room itself is pretty cute. I’m glad student leaders were able to work with the nurse to put up decorations.

My mom visited me when she picked up my sister for her dentist appointment. I think her visiting me boosted my spirits enough to finally stop feeling feverish. Her angelic presence blessed me with Gatorade and chicken soup.

I hope I never get sick again.

Best Roommate 4Ever!

brownbeansLeave a comment

My roommate told me to write a blog post about her and our friendship. I love my roommate so much; we’ve been friends since sophomore year and roommates since junior year. I like how we have similar tastes in food and humor. The nights we don’t spend sleeping for 12 hours straight, we sing karaoke, gossip, and eat chocolate. She’s so funny even when shes not trying. Every time I talk to her, I feel myself light up and enjoy the world around me.

I enjoy our after-dinner chats. We enjoy sitting in front of the music room after dinner, listening to anyone playing music while discussing life. We bounce around from college to weekend plans to our ideal types. Those chats are things I’ll remember for a long time.

I hope we stay friends for a long, long time. She says she’s the nicest, cutiest, baddiest goddess in the whole world.

College realizations

Soccer11Leave a comment

Now that it’s time to start looking at college, I have realized how much I want to go to a college in California. It is also kinda stressing me out, even though I still have a long time till I have to start applying. It feels crazy how fast these last 3 years have gone by, and even though I’m excited to go to college, I’m still scared to get ready to move away to college. The only other places I would maybe want to apply to are Hawaii, but I don’t think I would ever go. However, this summer, my parents might take me to visit. The top colleges I want to attend are Pepperdine, UCSB, and UCSC. I really want to go somewhere near the beach, and I would never wanna go anywhere other than California because after living here my whole life, I don’t think I could leave and go somewhere else that’s colder or has no ocean.
