Worried

Do you ever get that feeling where you are just worried about something in your life? Well, I have that feeling right now about something. It's not too fun but hopefully it will pass very soon.

I wish I was more like my parents. They were high school sweethearts and I want that with someone so bad...but I know it probably won't happen. I mean, I think it's fascinating to know that my parents have known each other for more than twenty years and they are still married. I want that with someone in the future. I want a lasting relationship....for eternity. How cool would that be?

To follow in my parents' footsteps would be awesome, but I guess I will have to see how things turn out this senior year. I am kind of scared....but whatever happens, happens for a reason.

I am also worried about what will happen with me and my friends after this year. Most of us will probably go our separate ways and that terrifies me. But that is the thing about growing up, people move on.

Wow, I need to stop talking about this. It's kinda depressing. I need to focus on the present! Lol. Ready, set, go!

Forever alive

YES! TODAY I AM FEELING SO TERRIFIC I JUST WANT TO JUMP UP WITH GLEE! ok...maybe not... but! today is a fabulous day. Not going to lie. The paper will be done tomorrow and then I'll just have to wait for the first day of school to see it completely done and on print. :) I hope everyone reads it....I know a ton of people won't...but since we have a new design that is more "hip" maybe people will be interested....

Anyway! Enough about Journalism. Seriously this class is taking over my life.

Well, I have been reading my Buddhist wisdom quote book that April gave me, and man does it have some good advice and quotes that I relate to. I will list a few quotes that I thought were extremely well thought out and such:

"It is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others."
-His holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

"Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy."
-Thich Nhat Hanh

"First appearances deceive many."
-Ovid

"Find ecstacy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough."
-Emily Dickenson

Those are a few that I enjoyed. :) Hopefully you guys liked them as well.

Well, what is else is there to say about my life right now....besides the fact today is a great day......

Alas, I have to go take my dad to go pick up his truck. I will post later on maybe. Have a superb day!

Whew

Wow. What a week it has been so far. These next two days are going to be difficult, but I will get through it! Putting together a newspaper in seven days sure is hard....lol.

But anyway, I thought I would post before I go to work. haha work. I am quitting my job and I am delighted. My senior year is going to be way too busy for me to have a job considering I will be spending most of my after school time at school. I have a full time job anyway being editor-in-chief. :) Not that I am complaining or anything...cuz I think it is awesome! I love organizing and having things in order..even though sometimes it can be quite hard.

I have learned a few things about being a journalist at high school. One, it gives me great career opportunities which could mean scholarships for the University of Utah. Two, I like talking to all kinds of people. It is so much fun! Being in journalism has made me look at other careers as well. One of which includes Psychology. I think it would be so freaking awesome to be a psychologist. Learning about the brain, what people are thinking about, how to help them, etc. To me, it is quite thrilling. Therefore, I have come to the decision on either majoring in Communications and minoring in Psychology, or majoring in Psychology and minoring in Communications or Journalism. We'll see how it turns out. :D

Anyway, life is good. I am quite happy that school starts next week! It's going to be a great first day of school...I can feel it. I am beginning to be more "tight" with my journalism friends, which can save me in the long run. I despise drama, but it happens anyway. It can make life interesting, until someone gets really hurt. Then it becomes a problem.

Well, the new teachers seem fun and interesting! So, if any of you have a new teacher, be sure to make them feel welcome. Same with the incoming sophomores. We were like them once, and it's hard enough going to a new school feeling tense and insecure. Make sure to welcome them with open arms! (well, not literally but you know what I mean).

It feels weird being a senior. But this year is going to beat all of my high school years out of the park. New friends, new classes, new romances! Well, maybe. haha. Hopefully for some of you though! :) It will be interesting to see who gets together this year.

Well, I must be off. Work time. Have a wonderful day everyone! More posts will soon be up and coming!
