The End of an Era: School
Well, it seems that yet another year of school is coming to a close, my sophomore year. I do have to say, it was nice not to be a little "freshie" anymore, and I had a much more enjoyable year. I felt like I "fit in" more, so to speak. I became more competitive in sports, music, and academics.
This was also a year for change. This year I am not out for track, and frankly I love it. (Not meant to offend those who are participating) Also this year, I found out our basketball coach is not returning after three years, which is hard to process.
But most importantly, this is how I'm going to feel the day school lets out for the summer! (:

Yet another tutorial.
Tutorial:
How to curl your hair with a straightener!
Though most people would probably think this tutorial is silly, but there are some who really have no idea how to curl their hair with something other than a curly iron. (A year ago, this included me.) So here it goes...
- Section out your hair and tie the rest back.
- Take your straightener and when you have clamped your hair, flip it over once, then twice.
- Pull down slowly.
- Repeat!
- Purrrrr-fect curls. (:
Reminder:
This is just the way I do it, and it works well for my hair. Just because it works for me, doesn't necessarily mean it will work for you.
Hope it helped!
Rock on computer freaks (:

Coloring Pages
So we were told to blog about whatever topic we wanted, with a picture and a video relevant to the topic we chose. Of course, like every student would do, I decided to blog about coloring pages today. Recently, I have found a new love in coloring pages. It all started when I was joking around with one of my friends. She told me she wanted me to put a coloring page on her locker. So fulfilling her request, I printed of a spondgebob coloring page, colored it, and taped it to her locker. Then, like in all the movies, someone saw what I was doing and wanted one, then another, then another. I have done 3 coloring pages so far in the last few days. Currently, I'm working on a Spiderman page.
I know what your thinking. "That's for three year olds!" You would be surprised just how many teenagers like coloring pages. It helps me relieve stress when I have piles of homework to do. But I do think it would be quite sad if it turns into a job. I can definitely see every kid in our school having a coloring page on their locker by the end of the school year. Though I love coloring pages, it does tick me off when someone tells me the colors are wrong! There is a reason that the page is black and white, you can put whatever color you want in the lines. (Or outside of them) This problem is growing in society today.
Though I do love coloring pages, it has become quite obvious that I need to get my homework done. I spent an entire class coloring a care bear page for someone. (It was totally worth it though) No matter how much I love it, I might have to take a break to do my science research report. Even though it may not be as important as my coloring pages, I should probably keep my grade up or I could possibly be banned for my coloring page obsession if I don't pass Biology.
All in all, I hope you enjoyed listening to my lecture on coloring pages.

The Day I Fell
Journalism Assignment:
The Day I Fell
By Lauren Sargent
I never should have taken the train. I know that now. It was dangerous, stupid, and reckless. The day I fell was the worst thing that ever happened to me.
Its pointless to keep talking about all of this in the present tense, when anyone who is reading my experience would have no idea what the heck I’m talking about. So lets go back in time. WAY back in time, to last week. It was a stormy morning, and my commute was slow, as usual. Now that I go back on it, getting up at 5:00 a.m. and traveling for two hours for a job at the supermarket was a highly unintelligent decision. Needless to say, I was a struggling artist, and I had no other income as of that point in time.
I just keep driving. Stopping. Driving. Stopping. Driving. I did this for a good hour and a half through my morning. I was slightly relieved when I realized I only had another half hour at the minimum. To my surprise I had a fairly open street to drive down.
I shouldn’t have been going that fast. Another stupid decision of the many of my life. I never saw the girl walk out in front of me. I know what you probably think I hit the girl. No, I swerved and ran smack into the Bank. Not the best place to smash into.
Surprisingly from the state of my car, I was fine, not a scratch on me. I stumbled out of the wreckage. I could already hear the police sirens. Now that I think about it, that was extremely fast. They probably just sit around and wait for this kind of thing to happen. I knew I had to get out of there. I couldn’t get in trouble, again. You guessed it, I’ve been in jail before.
Anyway, I just started running. The local train station was just around the corner. I sprinted in the door and bought the first ticket I could get my hands on, which was the next train to leave in two minutes.
Two minutes later I was on the train. I finally took time to see where I was going and realized it was to Kansas. Why the heck would I want to go to Kansas? Hays Kansas, never heard of it. I moved to the back of the car I was in and fell asleep thinking about the situation I had just gotten myself into. Unfortunately, I had no idea how bad it was going to get in just a few short hours.
What the?...I thought to myself as my eyes sprung open to the sounds of screaming. My whole body seemed to lift without gravity. I grabbed my seat, held on tight, and stuck my head out the open window beside me. Why are we beside the tracks? Suddenly, I felt more force and my entire body was jerked back inside. I slammed to the ceiling. From the view I had, I could tell we seemed to be falling, but where?
Oh god. I finally realized we were falling down the side of a mountain. A MOUNTAIN! Who cares how, I knew we were going to die. For the first time in my life, I prayed to god. With all my heart, I prayed.
So here I am, a ghost roaming the wreckage of the old train cars in the bottom of the canyon where I perished. I shoulda’ just gone to jail.
The End.
