Tests Are Overrated

I AM SERIOUSLY OVER TESTS!

I hate that I worry about how well I take a test and if I do not do well then I will not get into the college of my choice. Standardized tests are ridiculous!!! Everything should not be based on how well you take a fricking test! We are labeled by our test scores and that is not a way we should be treated. Most of my education is things that I will never use. But of course we are not in control of our own lives and our classes are chosen for us for stuff we will never use. We just have to pass them to graduate and will never use them again. We all take the same ACT, SAT, etc but why? We do not all learn the same or understand everything the same. We live in a messed up society. There is nothing we can do, and it is ridiculous. 

There is a 'No Child Left Behind' law saying that every child has to take the standardized tests in school. There are some kids that cannot take a test due to disabilities and may be dying. This is ridiculous. 

Tests like the ACT measure how well you can take a test. That is not right. No standardized test are! I really just needed to rant about this. Thanks to my friend Naomi, she influenced me to blog about this and she feels as strongly as I do about this. 

You're Too Good To Me

Everything is happening so fast. When they told me that senior year was going to fly by I figured it was just something they always said. But no, it is entirely true. It is crazy how fast everything is going right now. I am just getting invitations made and getting ready to send them out. I am still stressing over college and if where I am attending is going to be where I want to be. 
I know I said that I would have 'no ragrets' but I am seriously stressing. This was not how I wanted to end my senior year. I have settled old disputes and got new ones. I just feel like everything is escalating.

I like the fact that I can make decisions for myself. I am happy and content with life. I originally started this post about 2 weeks ago, I think I proved to myself that every week brings something new. Making decisions is difficult but you have to decipher what is important or what can be handled later in life. 

One big permanent decision I had to make was about a tattoo. Sounds crazy right? But it is not, if you do not like what you get then you are screwed for life. I didn't want to regret my tattoos because I want every tattoo I get to mean something to me. 

The ambersand symbol resembles a broken infinity, meaning nothing truly lasts forever but there is always an &. The bow and arrow reminds me that there are set backs in life but to keep moving forward. The words are my grandmother's words in her handwriting. I miss her everyday and I always have the reminder that she is always with me and I know she loves me too.

Want some inspiration?

Hey guys!

So I have been struggling what to post for a while now. I didn't want to just cry about my life on this blog about what decisions I am making and struggling with. I really hope you guys will leave comments about what you want to hear about or personal message me. I recently posted about a haul and I hope you guys liked it. I have also considered posting fitness inspiration and what I do and what I eat. Maybe even starting a YOUTUBE vlog type of thing. I would REALLY love to hear back from you guys!!

New Things Are Good Things

Hello Everyone!!!

I have not posted in forever and it makes me so sad!

I have been out of town lately and I went shopping!! 

I spent quite a bit of money for myself and I think I have definitely earned it. 

I got a job!!! Finally, I am so nervous and excited about it! It is at a store named Justice and I am so excited to start earning money again!

I took a break from work because it was my senior year and I had a bunch of stuff to do and work just did not fit into my schedule especially with sports. So now that sports is over and the school year is starting to come to a close and I will be graduation I thought it would be best to start making and saving money again because I do need to purchase a new car before college starts and I do not know how to pay for it throughout college because its going to take some time to pay for it. 

Besides all of this I though it would be kind of fun to do a sort of Haul blog. I will post pics of all my recent purchases and if you guys like them I can do more!

Maurices

I got these shoe for a buy one get one 50% sale and I LOVE THEM! Maurices never disappoints me and they are not expensive and totally worth it!
