Coming to an end...in a sense

Dear Readers,

Today I realized a lot of things pertaining to the end this coming Semester. On the funny side of things, it will be interesting to see how everyone reacts when there's no one there to play warm ups on Tuesday Morning. You see, I have dropped Concert Choir in order to take an Institute class. A pretty fair deal, don't you think?

On a slightly sadder note, however, there will be some people that I may not see all that often this next semester. There are most likely people that you know that you never would have met had it not been for Seminary. Today brought emphasized the fact that some of the people in my Seminary Class I might never see again, depending on whether we bump into each other in the hallway. Not to mention I'm going to Sister Thomas, being the wonderful teacher and friend she is. The same idea crossed my mind during Chemistry when I realized that next semester I'll be in a different Class and won't be able to laugh with my new-found chemistry buddies. I love those guys. :)

One of the hardest hitting thoughts involves high school as a whole. This is my last semester of public Education, which brings about thoughts of what it might have been like. I imagined that this semester would be filled with several empty hours in the day with which I would spend in the music building either practicing or listening to other groups. It's sad, but also happy, that I will instead be spending my time finishing up classes such as Health and english and other classes that are useless to me. Don't get me wrong, other people may love them, which is good, but I only take them because they're required.

All in all, this should be an interesting Semester that may be the best I've ever experienced. Hope to see you all around, despite what our schedules may be like!

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

That's What Makes the World Go 'Round!

Dear Reader, Bonus points go to whoever can name what movie today's song title comes from. Comment below to submit your answers. Today I wanted to give you an update on the great " ALS Ice Bucket Challenge " that is taking the internet by storm. What started as a small campaign to raise awareness and funds for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease) has grown and caused thousands of people to dump ice or ice water over their heads. That is how it works: one person nominates another to the challenge. That nominated person then has 24 hours to either donate $100 to the ALS foundation or have a bucket of ice dumped over their head. I would like to think most people are both accepting the ice bucket challenge and donating to charity. I won't judge, though. With all of this publicity that the ALS campaign has received, it made me think of other fads that people participated in during the 1920s and 1930s. Did you know that people regularly participated...
