Back to School 101: Clothes
Today consisted of 3 things: drawing, shopping, and being sick. I have had a lingering sore throat for the past 4 days now. When I went to patient first they said nothing was wrong! Well.....I'd like for them to know that a sore throat should not last for 4 days.
As you all very well know school starts very soon for me. I always seen to have major dilemmas with clothing. Not that I don't have enough. Trust me I do. It's that I am very good at coming up with an image and I am very picky. Not that I'm not me. I'm always me, it's just the way that people perceive me. This year I want to be that girl that walks by and you think...."Wow, I love those colors!" Or "Wow, I love that! And maybe even..."Where did she get that? I need that!"
Where did I get these colorful threads. You can find these at Aeropostale, American Eagle, and Hollisters. The best part is we didn't pay full price for any of it! I also have two pairs of toms that I didn't want to put on top of my new clothes.
How would I wear these unique piece?

How would I wear these unique piece?
- A navy striped T-Shirt is a must have piece for any collection. White will match anything. Although we are only teens, horizontal stripes also help to give the illusion of a petite figure. It is also cut right where low rise jeans are cut so while not exposing stomach it is "short"
- A collared shirt is a must. Whether you need a nice shirt for a school concert or for a nice dinner with family a collared shirt is easy to pair with khakis or black pants. I find navy an easy color to wear.
- I also got a blue strapless polka dot dress. I plan on wearing this with my jean jacket and a nice pair of flats. You can also dress it up with a pretty necklace or dress it down with a white button up shirt and converse.
- A neon green hoodie is a great way to add color to a simple pair of jeans. You can even wear a pair of skinny jeans that are the same shade of blue. I also purchased a pair of jeans that same shade. It can also be worn with shorts if you are cold. The sleeves can also be pushed up to 3/4 to accent bracelets or nails.
- Jeans come in many colors and are used to keep your legs warm in the winter or fall. They can be cuffed, ripped, died, bleached, and embroidered. I plan on perhaps cuffing them.
- A light yellow jacket can brighten a pair of black skinny jeans or jeggings. The jacket its self is light and can be kept in a locker an used in the fall or spring when a jacket is needed for cold classrooms.
- Toms is a trendy little brand. It takes part in the One for One movement. When you buy a pair a pair is also donated to a child in need. They are available in many shades and can be ordered in the original design, flats, or high-heels. I own 2 of the original designs in 2 fairly new prints.

Go Blue Streaks!
I had a great time at the fun day and breakfast this morning with my team. I sat with my brother and his friends. :) My summer team is Bon Air and I'm placing really well at these meets! I have gotten 3 first place ribbons, 1 second place ribbon, 2 third place ribbons and 2 fourth place ribbons. I have finally broken 30 seconds in my 50 freestyle. Last night I swam a 29.83 in that event! My next milestone will be 27 seconds. I hope to reach that by next summer. We also were assigned a "buddy" to cheer for. I gave my buddy skittles and star bursts and I cheered them on and I hope that I motivated her. At the end of the meet she brought me a rice krispy treat and a cute poster. The only bad part was that it started to rain so the colors on my poster bled a little bit. Overall I had a great meet! Till next time....Bye! Xx

Foggy Lenses
2012 has been a blur. I turned 13. My cheer season ended. Track began. I broke the school mile record. II also ended the year with a 4.0 GPA!!! Yes, it is possible.
Turning 13 is a milestone, but a small one at that. Yes, you are a teenager, but with being a teenager comes more responsibilities. Eventually you will drive, start high school, go off to college, get your first job and start a new chapter in the book of life.
Cheer season ended in Febuary. It was bittersweet. I will miss cherring over the summer but I can't wait to be a returner next year. I wish the best of luck to all the girls who will try-out for the cheersquad! Remember: Practice makes Perfect!
I always knew I could run I just never thought I could run fast, or far for that matter. I finished track season with the fastest 7th grade girls 1600m time. The record is now 5:53:67! I want to thank all the distance runners at my school for the support. I also want to. Thank my mom for letting me run track.
Yay! I got straight A's for the last symester!!! I managed to sqeak out a high A- in algebra and will be taking Algebra begining in the fall. My highest grade was in Science thank goodness, since I would like to work in the medical field. It was a 99%!!!! I'm very excited!
Just keep swimming! My new personal goal is to have olympic qualifying times by 2016! I will be 17 and will have 4 yearsbto train. I have been working very hard lately and will be attending a week long swim camp in just a few short weeks! I'm very excited.
I cannot express in words how grateful I am to have the parents that I do. They come to every swim or track meet and every football or basketball game that I cheer at. They are also my biggest cheerleaders who buy me nice running shoes and snazzy running/athletic socks! They also make sure that I always have snacks and water at meets. They are the best parents in the world and I can't thank them enough!

I got an award!
Yay! Thank you so much America! I recieved this amazing award for katie! Go check out her blog tday!!
I'm a little fish in a big pond.
Tomorrow at 11:00:01 I will be an 8th grader. That means only 5 more years an I will have graduated high school and be off to college. I'm really excited but I will miss my 7th grade years.
On my "Know Your School Day" I wore a floral skirt from Justice and a purple top that said NY Surf Champs. I wore my black and purple converde, I thought I looked so cool.
I learned where all my classes were and how to open my locker. This year I had a bottom locker it was right beneth Nicks. That would have been ok, except for the fact that Nick and I went to the same school in 4th grade a move or so ago. He thought it wiuld be funny on the first day to drop his algebra book on me!
Turns out Avairy's locker dosen't open so she was assigned the locker right next to me. Which worked out fine because we tended to use each others locker when we were to lazy to open ours ourselves. A few times she hit me in the face with her locker but thats ok.
Cheerleading. Arguably a sport I think of it as a skill for a lack of a better term. It looks like girls in skirts being peppy and super over dramatic, which it is in retrospect. But to me it was the start of friendship. Me and my now best friends Maddi, Kat, and Nicole all tried out without properly knowing each other.
I met Nicole at the cheer prep camp. We were in the same "gruop". Her sister was a cheerleader on the squad a year before. Nicole is amazing and always has a smile on her face no matter what. Nicole also gives the best advice of the four of us. I loved getting to cheer with Nicole!
Katie (Kat) and I are/were in the same advisory class. We both have/had the music teacher as our advisory teacher . (I think my advisory teacher hates me!) Kat and I have a ball laughing! We laugh at EVERYTHING! Thank you Kat!
Maddi and I have a funny friendship.See...we kinda "dated "the same guy last year. He broke-up with her to go out with me. Let's just say she HATED me last year. Well funny thing is now we are best friends! Haha! Funny how things work out huh. She also did cheer with me! Or shall I say I did cheer with her?!?
The 1st dance was fun! I had my first Junior High Dance and my first dance with a guy. But we weren't dating, so don't get to excited yet.
The time flew by and soon wnough we are at the winter formal. I had a bit of a dress delema because one of my friends bought the SAME EXACT dress as me. So I got upset and cslled my aunt, turns out she had an awesome dress that I could wear! It wa s Black and Blue and Sparkly!!! I love my aunt! She is a life saver!
Tomorrow I will post with the rest of this years experiences!

Dear Past, (Intro)
Looking back on my 7th grade year, I wish I could change so much. If I could relive my 7th grade year I would. I fell like I have grown in so many ways since school began. This is hard for my to put into words. I going to hope that I don't cry on the last day of school . I wish I could stay a 7th grader forever I will miss these days.
I'm going to share my high and low points of 7th grade over the next week. I feel like I have to do this because I loved this past year. I've made friends that I will keep for life. I have also met some people who made me have some pretty bad days. I won't use any names but I will try my best to describe this past year to the best of my ability. I will also post a lot of photos.
Tomorrow's post will be my advice for surviving your first year at Junior High School.

Monday
Darn. It's Monday! I'm more nervous about tommorow than I was on the first day of school. I'm sure your asking, why in the wirld is she nervous?
Well for your information, Tommorrow are finals. Which means 7th graders have a messed up day. I start the day off with adviosory or "Study Hall". Then I go to my other classas.
The thing is........LUNCH. Since I have Mr.Clemmons as my science teacher and because of the hour I have him, I have split lunch. So I go to class, then second lunch, than science again.
That means I might eat with the"Big Kids". Oh no!
Lol! Just kidding you all know me. I'm not nervous at all! I'm actually really really realy excited! We finally won't be "segragated".

Lately I've had some friends who have lately started to want to hang out with me more than usual. That sounds good to me, but why now? Right now my guard is at its highest. I don't want people to think they can get inside my head.
Don't go talking bad about me behind my back then expect me to want to be your buddy the next day. Honeslty, if you have a problem with me... Go ahead tell me. I'm gonna flat out tell you what i'm thinking. Honestly I want you to talk straight to my face. No, your not strong enought to tell me. So you hide behind your words. That dosen't make you any better than me. I work hard to get to where I am at school. If you want to criticise me don't waste your time. I know how people like you work.

We were good friends, we still are. What ever happened to how we used to be? We didn't have a care in the world. Now it's all about "image". You think you'r so cool. Yeah, you have friends, so do I. Your friends are different than mine. But when did they get like that? I guess we've changed.

Is it really just me? Am I the only one who sees? You use people like they are nothing. Do you realize that what you do affects everyone. In the end we all have to hear about it. Try and consider the rest of us. We don't want to hear about your tramas. We know, I know what they are for. To make you feel important, wanted, "cool". Well I guess you got what youv'e always wanted. So go ahead and act like nothing ever happens.
"Happiness, it hurt."
We all were great friends. We talked about everything. Now its all falling apart. When did guys ever matter? When did we let the little things hurt us? I'm trying to stay out of things but I care about these people. We all just need to calm down. What is going to happen now? Well you tell me!

Thanks to all the haters who put me down. Because it just mmakes the climb better knowing what a journey it's been. Thanks to all the people who told me I couldn't or wouldn't do it. I always found a way. Thanks for the people who supplied the drama rhat keep me on my toes.

We all need 5 more minutes. Five more minutes to make a stand. Five minutes of courage, to make history. Just a time to shine. To know we are not alone. To stand up against the haters, the players, the fakers and the bullies. To join forces and end the hatred. To stop the people who get in the way of our dreams. To put time into a cause we believe in. TO REACH OUR DREAMS.
