The first Snowfall

The first snowfall of the year is always the best. The snow falls in a fast flurry. Soon everything is covered in a thick, sparkling, white blanket of snow. As soon as I realize it has been the first snowfall I want to race outside and go in the snow. Even if it’s 20 degrease below zero.

                As a little kid when the snow came I was always outside. Making snow angels, or snowmen, catching snowflakes on my tongue.  I always found something creative to do outside. Usually I went outside with my neighbors. Always I was the first person outside, and the last one to come in. As soon as I came in a missed the outdoors a lot, so my mom bribed me to stay in with hot chocolate. As soon as I got my steaming cup of hot cocoa I would sit by the window and watch the snow fall.

                Now as I’m older I have a way busier schedule. I haven’t even been able to go in the snow. As I see the little kids out in the snow. I soon remember the good old days when that used to be me. The first snowfall of the year is always the best. It always makes me think of the amazing memories I had as a young kid.                                                                                                  

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is the best holiday in the entire world. It has the finest food, and the best celebration. I also think it’s the best holiday because it brings everyone together.

            The first Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621. It brought the Pilgrims and Native Americans together by making them work together. It was the only time it seemed like there was peace between everyone. Everyone was thankful for what they had even if it wasn’t a lot.

            Every year for Thanksgiving we pretty much always go somewhere new to eat, somewhere different from the year before. But what always stays the same is that I am with family. We have gone out to eat and we have stayed at home to eat. I personally think staying home to eat is better. You get to choose when to eat, how much you eat, and what you eat. When you go out to eat (like I did last year) I had a weird experience. Last year we went to Karl Ratsch’s (German restaurant) it had lots of older people in it, it smelled abnormal (like old carpet and mashed potatoes), and the food wasn’t the greatest. I muddled through it though because I was with my family, and that’s what matters most. I felt like it was a good experience though, because I know there are people in the world who go with so much less everyday.

            Everybody has their family traditions. I think it’s best to stay true to your traditions, because those are the things you will look back on when you’re older. Good or bad it will be the times you will remember it forever. That’s why I think Thanksgiving is the best holiday. It brings you closer with your family. You don’t have to worry about gifts. You are just there to be thankful for each other and everything you have.      

Quotes

 What are quotes? What makes quotes stand out when famous people declare them?  What do they actually mean? They sound fanatical sometimes, but usually have lots of meaning.

Some of my favorite quotes are….  
- “Dogs never bite me. Just humans.” By Marilyn Monroe,

-“When one door is closed, another one is opened.” alleged Bob Marley.,

-“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attitude of the strong.” Said Mahatma Gandhi.

-“Paris is one of the most beautiful places in all the world.” Unfortunately I was so homesick that I couldn’t appreciate its beauty.” said Tyra Banks.

- “Ok, you want me in a cage, then I will come out in beast mode.” Said Lil Wayne.

        All of these of these quotes have lots of meaning.  The quote by Marilyn Monroe, “Dogs never bite me, Just humans.” I think this means people can be really mean and nasty and all they want to do is tear you down.

Bob Marley once said “When one door is closed, another one is opened.” This means if one great opportunity passes there will always be another one. 

        I found Gandhi’s quote to the most thoughtful.  “The week can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attitude of the strong.”  I think this means forgiveness makes you a better person, and being unforgiving makes you snobby. Forgiveness is better than holding a grudge and possibly loosing this person for ever.

        Tyra Bank’s quote was most relevant to me. “Paris is one of the most beautiful places in all the world.” Unfortunately I was so homesick that I couldn’t appreciate its beauty.”  I really got what she meant it was straight to the point. She is saying that going out is fun but sometimes you need to go home and get away from all the drama.  There is no place like home!

        Lil Wayne quote is my favorite.  I feel it is a good life lesson. He says “Ok, you want me in a cage, then I will come out in beast mode.”  He is basically saying that if people are trying to hold you back you need to come out and give it your all. Just to prove them wrong.

        Overall, quotes can have a lot of meaning; some are inspirational and some are heartbreaking. What they all seem to have in common is a very strong message!

He's With Me

    

             I think the moral of this story is bad things might keep happening but you need to keep your head held high till that one great thing comes along He's With Me was that book where everything kept going bad for Lexie till that one great thing came along. It was a mediocre book. The book made me bemused a lot.                                                                                                                                                                                                               It had 6 main characters Lexie, Jake, Riley, Colin, Sally, and Bree. The story takes place in summer. (At the summer loge.)Lexie has a twin brother named Colin, whose best friend is Jake. Who Lexie is secretly in love with. Bree the most popular girl in school has a crush on Jake, who hates Bree wants her to stop liking him. So, Jake asks Lexie to be his pretend girlfriend to make Bree stop liking him. At the end, of the beginning of the story Bree's best friend Sally comes along (she goes to summer lodge too) and goes on a fake double date with her boyfriend, and Lexie and Jake. Bree finds out and makes Sally her ex best friend. Then Bree makes Sally's boyfriend dump her. Then Sally and Lexie become best friends. Colin has a crush on Sally who soon starts to like him. One day after a couple weeks of the lodge Lexie is waiting for Jake to come and take her home, Riley is standing at the bake racks (where Lexie is). Riley and Lexie talk and Jake gets jealous. The next day Riley joins summer lodge so he can be with Lexie. It's the middle end of the story now and Bree is getting pretty mad about Jake not wanting to date her. So she makes a plan to sabotage their relationship. She steels Lexie's swimsuit so she couldn't be on Jake's pool volleyball team. So Lexie has to call her mom to bring her new red bikini that still had the tag on it. Did I mention Lexie is uncomfortable with her body so she gets all paranoid? She ends up getting every ones attention if you know what I mean. Then she scored the winning score in pool volleyball and her and Jake kissed even though they were fake dating. Lexie freaked out and ran and hid in the girl’s locker room. She waited till she thought everyone left. Right as she was about to make her escape she heard two people come into the locker room a boy and girl. It was Bree and Riley. Bree was talking to Riley about the payment for pretending to like Lexie to get her away from Jake. In the end Jake realizes he is in love with Lexie.Lexie and Jake becomes real boyfriend and girlfriend.

Over all I would give this book 2 out of 5 stars. Just because it had a excellent ending. Everything else just made me baffled.

I am so ready!

I am so ready to stop doing math.
I am so ready for lunch to be here.
I am so ready for the bell to ring.
I am so ready to race down the stairs.
I am so ready to grab my tray and eat my food.
I am so ready for my break to be here.
But when lunch is done I so won't be ready to go back to class.

Justin Bieber

            Justin Bieber has made 2 albums and is wildly popular for teen girls. What I have noticed though is that a bunch of boys hate Justin Bieber. I don’t know why though. I believe it’s because of his fame and how pretty much every teen girl wants to marry him. But I don’t know the real reason is, no boy will own up to any confessions about this situation. Personally I don’t LOVE Justin, but I don’t hate him either. What I don’t like about him is he sings about things I don’t think he knows much about. What I am talking about is love. He has had a couple girlfriends but what does he know about love?

            I like some of his songs such as “That should be me,” “Somebody to love ,” “Baby,” “Love me” “One time,” “One less lonely girl,” “Never say never,” “Favorite girl,”and “U smile.” They’re a little cheesy though, but a good kind of cheesy. The kind where it’s so cheesy it’s cute. I bet Justin Bieber could use his songs cheesy pick up lines. Just the titles of the song could be made up into one. He would be like“U smile I smile.” You are my “Favorite girl. “Baby” I will be that “Somebody to love.” So “Love me!” It will take you “One time” for you to fall in love. So “Never say never.” We will be together and you will be that “One less lonely girl.” All the other guys will be saying “That should be me.” Over all I think Justin Bieber is a pretty good celebrity over all. Meaning he hasn’t done anything in general to upset the public and is pretty cute and nice. So I honestly don’t know why the boys hate him.
