High School

Hello Tacos!
It's been so long since the last bloggie post, so sorry! When people say high school is drama-free, work-free, and fun-filled, they are liars. Totes. 

For the past month or so, Sarah and I have been battling the hardships of high school. All honors classes, yay :3 And one seriously difficult AP world history class. My advice... if you want to take it easy and not be totally overwhelmed with work, don't take AP world unless you really want to! It's a lot of information to learn. 
GENERAL STUFF. High school is hard to navigate around at first, but over time, you'll get it. I got lost five times in the first week! >_< 
It's also kind of hard to get the hang of how things work (I'm still learning where everything is and all the rules and such), but it'll be easier as it goes. 
FRIENDSHIPS. Meeting new friends and losing old ones is one of the hardest things (for me). I've met really nice people at my high school, but as a student among a couple thousand students, you feel quite forever alone. But it's alright. Keeping old friends and keeping up old relationships might seem hard at first because of different classes, different new friends, different clubs, but that's okay! High school truly tests a friendship. 
DANCES/FREE TIME. Study groups instead of hangout sessions, hanging in libraries instead of at the movies, football games and homecoming dances. High school. Just love it. (A tip for high school dances--> it's only fun if you go with a group of friends that <3 to dance! Going with a date is romantic sounding, but at the dance, the music blasts street mix B96 so loud, there's no slow dancing or anything of the sort. And usually, it just ends up awkward! So go with your fun-loving friends! :D) 
FOOTBALL GAMES. Not my thing, I now realize. And it was raining -_-
FRESHMEN. WHY DO UPPERCLASSMEN HATE FRESHMEN? I DON'T UNDERSTAND. They used to be freshies themselves! ("Freshies"=pet name for freshmen). Freshmen haven't done anything wrong? Why is it so prejudiced? :o
CLUBS. Joining clubs should be pretty fun! Trying new things and letting you experience things you haven't done before! WHO Club and Art Club for me, at the moment... (WHO Club is community service- good for college apps! It's always good to start early to impress 'em.) Any more clubs I should try out? (Maybe Guitar or something fun and artsy or musical!) :D 
HOMEWORK. Well, old habits die hard. Every friend of mine so far has found themselves doing homework on the weekends all on Sunday, so I never hang out with them on Sundays anymore :( Procrastination. Not very good, but people do it anyway! In high school, do your homework! It actually counts now more than ever! 
DRAMA. Whoever said high school was not filled with drama, was seriously lying. Drama is everywhere. Dating problems, people liking people, friend fights, friends getting distant, fights in general... It's cray cray >_< Staying away from drama is the way to go! It'll make life so much easier... :/ Drama is just going to distract from what is really important. (I know. Been through it. Going through it. Getting over it. Kind of.) 

So, that's mostly what high school is all about! (At least for me...) Questions? Comment~! Blog ASAP.  
Love ya, Taquitos! <3
