High School Sterotypes

After my few months in high school, I’ve come to notice that the stereotypes that everyone talks about just aren’t true.

1.Upperclassmen. Upperclassmen don’t necessarily beat up on the freshmen. I’m friends with lots of upperclassmen and that’s not just because my sister is a senior. Sure, some of her friends are my friends too but I’ve made some friends on my own. Upperclassmen beating up on freshmen: False.

2.Cheerleaders. The cheerleaders are not always the popular ones. Just because they have a lot of friends, does not mean that they are popular. There is one girl on my school’s cheer team and pretty much everyone hates her. Even her own cheer team hates her. Cheerleaders being popular: False.

3.Geeks. Now I’ve had a hard time figuring out the whole “geeks are total losers” stereotype. I wouldn’t say that they’re losers and have no friends because geeks totally have friends within their own group of geeks. And they have friends OUTSIDE of their geek group too. I’m friends with a few geeks myself. Geeks being total losers: False.

4.That guy. He’s the one that everyone has a total crush on and everyone wants to be with him. I guess this stereotype depends on your group of friends. Some people might have their own ‘that guy’ within their group of friends. I’ve found ‘that guy’ within my own life. He’s really popular and friends with everybody, which gets annoying. I’m just friends with ‘that guy’ because I don’t want anything happening, partially because my sister would PROBABLY kill him if he ever tried to do anything to me. That Guy: True.

5.Potheads. This one was really fun to figure out. I made friends with a few potheads and oh my goodness they’re awesome. I’ve found the pothead stereotype to be truly false. Just because someone may be a pothead doesn’t mean that they don’t have anything going for them. One of the friends that I made is a pothead and he wants to be a fireman. Yes, he is failing a couple of classes but that doesn’t mean that he’s not going to go anywhere in life. Potheads: False.

There are many other stereotypes that I could think of but I haven’t yet figured them out. Stereotypes might now always be true so be careful of what you hear and say about people because one day, you might just be them.

Aspen's Puppies

Dear Blog World,

Aspen FINALLY had her puppies. It happened about a week ago but I just haven't really had time to say anything about it. She had 8 puppies, all of which are stinkin' adorable. We're not allowed to touch them anymore because she keeps trying to hide them from us which could potentially kill the puppies so we just have to leave her alone for now.

I'mma Freshie!!!!

So the first day of school went WAY better than I ever thought it would be. When I arrived at school, I was terrified that I wouldn't make any friends. Turns out, I did. My classes are awesome and so far, I like all my teachers. I have a feeling it's going to be a good school year. So today it was just the freshman so I don't really count it as a school day so tomorrow is the REAL first day of school. All the upper classman are going to be there with us and I'm even more terrified than I was before. Any how, tomorrow is the real first day of school and I'm even more excited than I was before.

Just my update. I'll keep you posted.

2 Weeks!!!

So I'm pretty much REALLY excited to go back to school now. I'm literally counting down the days until I get to go back to school. And not only am I counting down the days but I also have these dreams where it's my first day of school. If school is anything like my dreams, then I have every right to be excited to go back to school.

Back To School.

Sorry I haven't exactly blogged in a while. Well so far, my life is going pretty good. School is getting ready to start and I'm definitely excited. I'll be a freshmen and some people wouldn't be excited about that but I am. I get my own locker, I get to go to school with my older sister, I get to be on the basketball team and I get to see my best friend everyday. What's not to love? Oh yeah, all the dang homework that comes with school. I'm taking almost all honors classes, which don't get me wrong, makes me feel good. But with honors classes comes a lot of responsibility and homework. Homework, not exactly my best friend.

Just my thoughts,

What If...

Dear Blog,

So since Ashley and myself had made up, we have been hanging out some. Life couldn't be more perfect at the moment. Ashley's parents are getting divorced, which could potentially change everything that we know. What if she moves? What if I never get to see her again? What if her dad blames me for the divorce? What ifs could go on forever. I don't know what I would do without Ashley. If they move, I don't know what I will do. Ashley is one of my best friends. Maybe the divorce will cause her dad guilt so he'll let Ashley hang out with me again. Maybe he'll become an alcoholic and won't care what me and Ashley do together. Everything is going to change from this point on. I can feel it.

Being Sick Isn't Fun

Dear Blog,

I have been sick for the last four days. Nothing but laying on the couch, watching TV. I have come to the conclusion that I will never, ever get sick again. The next time someone in my family gets sick, I am going to wash my hands and take a whole lot of Vitamin C. Next year, I can't afford to get sick. I do not like being sick and will never get sick again.

Split Decision

Dear Blog,

Have you ever wondered that one decision could change the entire course of your life? Well I defenitely have. I always wonder what my life would be like if I didn't move away from Arvada. Everything about my life would most likely be different. I also wonder about what my life would be like if I never changed schools. I wonder if my friends would still be my friends. I wonder if I would have ever dated Samuel. I also wonder about my meeting of Samuel. If I would have never met him, my heart wouldn't be as broken. I wouldn't think of how my life would've or should've been. Woulda, shoulda, right?
Well those are just my thoughts.

Dreams Do Come True

Dear Juliet,

Today I went to the Skyline Baseball game with Tiffy. The only reason I really went was so that I could possibly see Casey. Well luck was on my side. I saw him. He didn't exactly see me because he wasn't really looking for me. But I saw him, which in the end really does mean something. When I saw him, I got butterflies in my stomach. I knew that there was something more than just a little crush. The feeling when I saw Casey was indescribable. It was an amazing feeling that I haven't even felt with Sam. It's like Sam's not even here anymore. Thinking of Casey just pushes Sam away even more, which is helpful. I still have butterflies in my stomach. Just thinking about it...it's just so memorizing.

Another Adventure.

Dear Juliet,

It's amazing how time can change someone. I was thinking about the day when I met Samuel yesterday. He was so sweet to me back then. He's changed a lot. He's not the same sweet, caring, amazing person he was a year ago. It's hard to believe that it was almost a year ago that I was head over heels for him. It's amazing that he was even ever in love with me. Time has defenitely changed us both. Not exactly for the better or for the worse. We've changed into two people who've got seperate ways. Well not exactly seperate because we still talk to each other on the occasion. We still went our seperate ways. Even when we do talk it's so amazing to see how much he's changed.

Love Always,

Amber Camille.
