Lesson #63: Always Use An Otter Box!

Wow. So, it's been awhile. And I am terribly sorry! My life (as always) has been extremely hectic, crazy, dramatic, exhausting, exciting, and simple amazing all at once! In the past few weeks, I've learned three very important things.

#1. Life goes on! My junior year could be described as the most difficult year in my 17 year old life. BUT it could also be described as the best. I made so many new and exciting memories with so many different people. The band/choir trip, the musical, movie nights, etc. This year was tough: academically, physically, and emotionally. I still made Top 5 of my class, but not without some hard work. I had some health problems at the beginning of the year, but those are getting better! My knees will never get better (haha). Some of my greatest and closest friends graduated this year... And I will miss each and every one of them! I feel like I became so much closer to certain people this year and then they have to leave! At least the majority of them are going to ACU! ;) But seriously. Even if you think that your life is over because of something that happened, it's not. As cliché as it may sound, everything happens for a reason. Just give it time! Life goes on!

#2. If you want to do something, DO IT. Last year I thought about running for student council president, and when I saw who I would be running against, I backed out. I regret doing so, but hey, I had no chance against those guys! But this year I stuck to it, and what do ya know? Student council president of 2011-2012 :D. I love my school SO much. I feel like I have gone there my whole life, and I've only been there for four years! (Well, three and a half really). My school and my friends and my teachers are the greatest!

And #3. Always use an Otter Box. They make them for a reason. I learned that the hard way. Which is another reason why I haven't blogged in awhile. It was hard to read on that cracked screen!

Lesson #62: 2 Weeks! That's All We Have!

With the school year coming to a close, things have been pretty hectic. With Fine Arts Night, One Voice auditions, Sports Banquet, Choir/Band concert, and so much more, my life has been crazy. It's safe to say I'm ready for school to be out. But life is good, and I couldn't be happier. God is amazing. :)
