Bittersweet

Every week day I wake up at 6:15 AM. I take a shower, eat breakfast, brush my teeth, start the car, and go to school. Pretty exciting, huh? Today, I was pleasantly surprised to hear that we had a snow day! The day that all teachers and students dream of. Although today would be a great day to catch up on any classes I'm behind in, I think it sounds better to lounge around in my PJ's, drink coffee, munch some snacks and catch up on sleep.

As I'm sitting here listening to 311 enjoying my day off, my mind can't help but be flooded with thoughts of warm, care-free summer days. Sure, being all cozied up in blankets and the generic North Face attire is great, but there's something about summer that puts my mind at ease. No worries about school work, going to bed whenever you want and waking up at noon. I love the laid back vibes that summer brings to me.

 In a few months, my junior year summer will arrive. Senior pictures, and then my senior year. This will be my last summer of not working and just enjoying my life. When my senior year is over, I'll  (hopefully) be getting ready to go off to college. I can't help but think of all the friends I've made in my high school years and I can't believe it will all be over soon. I've made so many good memories at this school and it's gone by so fast. I've struggled to pass all my classes and deal with my anxiety, but I've made it this far and I know if I stick to my goals I can be whatever I want to be; a culinary artist.

I want to make the most of the rest of my high school years, making memories and hanging out with my friends, going to prom, graduation... I know that I can complete high school and get into college, but sometimes thinking about what the future holds for me is scary.

Good memories with good friends, Summer 2013


More good memories, beginning of my Junior year and Zara's Senior year!
