What would I do if I was stranded on an island?

     The book I read was called, Lord of the Flies by William Golding and it is about a group of boys that got stranded on an island and they have to figure out how to get off. The setting is after a war and in the 1950s. The main character is Ralph and he befriends another boy named Piggy and they have a really special bond that is unbreakable. Another character named Jack is the type of character that no one likes. He comes off as a vain boy that cares only about how good he is and how he is better than everyone else. Throughout the book the boys must determine who is worthy of becoming leader, and because of this many chaotic events happen that you did not see coming.

     Now if I ever got stranded on an island I don't think I would be able to stay sane. I hate being in one place for a long period of time so because of this I think I'd go crazy. I'm going to be honest, I think I might be the first to die. I like to explore so my curiosity might get the best of me. This book really taught me how by wanting to be the best, you might actually be the worst. I think this because Jack wants to be the best at everything and because of that he creates events that harm others.

Life is a rollercoaster

     As of today (May 21, 2017) I have 11 days left of school! This is my last full week and it is pretty stressful. We have so much due in such little time and I cannot recall a time where I have had this much homework. I have to take 7 tests: 2 social studies, 2 science, 2 ELA, and 1 math. To me the easiest would be ELA because it is on puncuation and research. The hardest would be social studies because I can't seem to be able to remember things about the civil war and reconstruction. I can't find time to fit all of this in and that is why I am freaking out. I am pretty sure I might take the science and ELA tests tomorrow because those are simple. The math test is on rational and irrational numbers, all I have to do for that is study a bit more because it is kind of confusing. Overall I am so excited because summer is right around the corner and I get to spend it with my friends.

People that don't know how to shut up

     Everyone has pet peeves. My best friend and I decided to do similar blogs. If you like click here to read her pet peeves. I decided to tell you my top 15 pet peeves and why they annoy me. Please don't get offended if you do any of these. I do not mean any harm in writing this.

- People who always interrupt while I am talking.
 This annoys me the most because I am trying to tell a story and all of a sudden someone starts speaking and it makes me forget what I was saying. It is so annoying and it irritates me so much and I will literally go off on you.

- People that don't pick up their feet when they walk. 
I don't even know why this bothers me but it just does.

- Slow walkers annoy me because like do they not realize that there are more people behind them. I have to fight the urge to push them out of the way.

-  People who stand in the middle of the walkway. 
This pretty much goes along with the one before this.

-  People who make a big deal out of nothing. 
This bothers me so much because this is just being an attention seeker. No one cares.

- People that act like they know the whole story just because they heard what happen. 
This annoys me because you can't just say that you know what happen if you weren't really there because then you can be giving false information. That is how rumors spread.

- People who act hurt or upset to get attention.
 This annoys me because you are just taking advantage of people. I hate when people do things just to get attention because it makes it a lot harder for me to be genuinely nice.

- When people don't pick up after there dog. 
This bothers me so much especially when it is on MY lawn because I am not responsible for cleaning up after your dog. I can barely stand cleaning up my own dog waste let alone someone else's dog.

- People that ride bikes in the car lane. 
This gets me very anxious because I fear that they will get hit and I don't want that to happen.

- When someone says they have to tell you something but then say "Nevermind"
This annoys me because you just ruined the rest of my day by having me think about what you were going to say. Like I will literally bother you to tell me what it was. I just don't understand why people mention something and then decide not to tell you.

- When people that have a full cart decide to use the self-checkout lane
This annoys me because do they not realized that you could only use self-checkout when you have 15 items or less?!?! I am a very impatient person so having to wait a long line drives me crazy.

- When people take their dogs out early in the morning and they don't stop barking
This bothers me because I am trying to get my sleep and it is interrupted by dogs barking. My dad takes my dog outside in the morning sometimes and he barks when he sees someone he does not recognize. I get up all angry to bring himin because not only does it annoy me, but I know that many people in my neighborhood do not like it either.

- Those parents that have their child on that weird lea sh thing. 
This annoys me so much because you child is NOT AN ANIMAL!! I vowed to NEVER do that to my child because it looks ridiculous. I feel that once the child gets older and realizes that he/she hadro go through that, they will be mortified.

- When people abbreviate way too much (Ex: g2g, me 2 etc.)
To me this is very hard to read. Like I hate it so much because there are people outthere who write like that on their papers for school and it just makes me want to give them a dictionary. Please don't overuse abbreviations or use them on pieces of writing.

- People that constantly get up at the movies. 
I just don't like this because I have to be moving and getting distracted from the movie. I understand if you have to go to the bathroom or a refill, but don't go in the middle of the movie to buy snacks.

I need a vacation not a stupid weekend

     I need more than just two days off from school. My dad and I want to go to San Fransico in either July or August because that is when my sister gets a few weeks for vacation from work. My mom doesn't care where we go as long as we go on vacation. The only problem is... we have to find someone to watch our dog. Last year my uncle watched him for us, but I don't know if he could this year because he has a busy work schedule. I have been to California a few times when I was younger, the first time being when I was two years old. I usually go to Los Angeles when we go to Cali, except for this one time when we drove from LA to San Fransico. I feel like going to Los Angeles is a bit cliche because its the first thing that comes to mind when someone says California; but in all honesty, it is a beautiful place to visit.  It was about a 5 hour drive but it was worth it. I honeslty cannot wait because I love plane rides and just look out the window. I have always wanted to live in San Franisco and when I am older I plan on moving over there. I really need a vacation now because I need some time off to think about my life decisions and I want to meet new people. Anyways, I hope you have a great summer vacation!!

Will I go on a rollercoaster?

     I have about 3 weeks left of school, which means its time for end of the year activities. We have our Six Flags trip next Friday, and our Dinner Dance the week after. That means I have one week to determine whether or not I will go on a roller coaster. I've never been on one so I am a bit nervous. It's not that I am scared to do it, because I do want to, but I feel like once I'm on the ride my nerves will get the best of me. It could go 50/50 because I really want to go on but who knows? Maybe I'll chicken out. Now for the dinner dance, I am super excited because I already have my dress and shoes and I just cannot wait to wear it. It's going to be a night to remeber because I am going to be spending  it with my best friends and it's going to be so fun. I hope the food is good and that nothing goes wrong. Can't wait to tell you how it goes!!

Everything's better with music

     Today I thought that I would share my top 10 favorite songs with you, but first I am going to tell you what music means to me. Music is something that helps me cope with my stress or my feelings. Whenever I am feeling down I like to listen to upbeat music to put me in a good mood. Or when I do my homework I like to listen to music because it helps me focus for some reason. There are a lot of songs out there that meticulously express the message being shared. I feel like its easier to show your feelings through song rather than speaking regularly because people pay more attention to the lyrics. So here are my top 10 favorite songs as of right now. Some are old and some are new.

1. "I'm the One" - DJ Khaled feat. Justin Bieber, Chance the Rapper, and Quavo
2. "Still Here" - Drake
3. "Bedrock" - Young Money feat. Lloyd (and various other artists)
4. "Thats What I Like" - Bruno Mars
5. "All Night" - Chance the Rapper feat. Knox Fortune
6. "Deja Vu" - Post Malone feat. Justin Bieber
7. "Find Your Love" - Drake
8. "Fake Love" - Drake
9. "R.I.C.O" - Meek Mill feat Drake
10. "It Ain't Me" - Kygo & Selena Gomez

Why is Monday so far from Friday and Friday so close to Monday?

     It's finally the weekend and I am so relieved because lately I've been stressed out at school and now it gives me time off to think and catch up on work. The reason I've been so apprehensive is because I have not one but THREE essays to write, one for science, one for English language arts, and one for social studies. It's honestly too much and it feels like my brain is going to explode!! So guess what I'm spending half my weekend doing? Thats right...homework. But don't worry thats not all I'll be doing. I will be hanging out mostly with my cousin because I mostly  see him on the weekend since he lives with his mom. Friday through Sunday he spends time with his dad (my uncle). During the summer he stays with his dad the whole break so I literally spend every single day with him. I was with him on Saturday and we got bored so I started to style his hair in different ways. Sometimes we don't know what to do, so we just come up with our own games to do and it is the best thing ever. Anyway that's what I'll be doing this weeekend, hope you have a fun one too!!
