How could we forget about movies?

Hey schoolers! While I was at Wal-Mart the other day, I picked up one of those $5 DVD's (the best things in life are five bucks). I got "13 Going On 30", and I had forgotten how much I missed that movie so very much. I watched it again and again and again yesterday. And I fed my cat stinky food. As you can see, my summer so far is quite productive.
I'm telling all of you guys to head on down to your own local Wal-Mart, and buy one of those cheap reject $5 DVD's. Every movie deserves to be loved. Except for "Meet the Spartans." That really was a stinker. (Haha – just like my kitty's food!). Yes, I consider myself very polite and mature. And you better not forget that. ;)

SOMETHING FUN TO DO OVER THE SUMMER:
Hey, I promised you I would! Today's fun thing to consider doing (so you wont rot over the summer) is making a YouTube video with your friends. Get creative. Whether it be a Webkinz video, a video of your psychotic puppy, or a dumb video with your friends, don't be afraid to post it up. Hey, if Miley and Mandy post retarded things on YouTube and get millions of views, why can't you?

Help! I'm bored

Nothing to do over the summer, eh? Not true anymore. I know I've been a little bored over the summer, too. I mean look at me, I'm writing a blog! That's why I'm here today to write a list of things you can do over the summer if you're not going anywhere.
  1. Go to a CVS or a grocery store with someone who you know is still here. Enough said. Good times at CVS. Not like that, though, you perverts! ;)
  2. Update your iPod and take a nice relaxing walk around the block. Your dog will get something out of it, too, if you bring him!
  3. Get your local newspaper or go on your town's website to see if any fun events are taking place. Who knows? I'm sure you'll find something.
  4. Beg your parents to drive you (and maybe a friend, too?) to a theme or amusement park. Even better – a water park! How can you not have fun there?
  5. Have a water balloon fight with your neighbors or siblings in your backyard. Trust me, it's more fun than it sounds!
I know however, that this is not enough to keep you going through the whole summer. So from now until the end of the summer, I'll try to attach a "Fun thing to do today!" segment. Just so you wont rot over the summer. Because I care. :)

Get fit over the summer

I believe that many of you probably are going to be doing sports. I know I signed up for the track team, and I need to get fit! The summer is a great time to practice before fall sports so you don't end up being the worst player on the team. Ugh! Been there, done that.
Take summer vacation as an opportunity. Practice with friends, family, cousins, your weird neighbor with seven cats, or even the mailman! I know I'll try to jog every morning to build up my endurance. What sport are you doing? Soccer? Lacrosse? Hockey? Baseball? Softball? Or maybe track, like me? Find the skill you need and find a way/place to practice it. For example, I'd be at a good advantage if I was doing soccer. I live right near a park with a soccer field!
So get out, and get active!

What if I don't like sports or don't want to sign up?
Ah, well you're missing out! Sports are a great way to work on cooperation and teamwork skills. You can even make some great friends who love doing the same thing that you do. Seriously consider it. Besides, some school's teams give out very cute sweatshirts/uniforms. You can show off to the world what sports you play.

What if none of my friends want to sign up for the sport I want to do?
I know it's cheesy, but seriously: follow your heart! Don't let your friends hold you back. Okay, so maybe the "popular" people are on the team, and you don't want to be alone. Trust me, they are not all heartless, and not many people are vicious to people on their own team when it comes to sports. Besides, and I said this before, you can make new friends, too.

I was supposed to sign up a while ago, and now it's too late. :(
Boo-hoo. It's still summer, people! Try e-mailing your guidance counselor or your principal to see if it really is too late. They can be a great help. You can find their e-mail addresses from friends or you can check your school's website. And if it really is too late (which I doubt it will be if you act ASAP) then there's always next season. You'll just have to wait 'till winter.

I hope I've inspired some of you guys to try out, or to get out there and practice for a sport instead of sitting here and reading blogs all day.

The bare essentials of wardrobe

Hey guys. Today I'm going to again, make a list of all the things I need to buy before the new school year (just clothes, though). This is what I've come up to be the bare essentials in the wardrobe department. Boys, you don't need this. You all can get by with one pair of pants and three shirts if you wanted to! :)
  • Three plain fitted T-shirts of different colors. I suggest white, black, and maybe pink, red, or yellow.
  • Two tank tops. One should have spaghetti straps, and maybe the other can be one of those menswear tanks.
  • One or two camisoles to wear under certain clothing. They really come in handy. The more you can get the better.
  • Three long-sleeved shirts. Any style works, although I would get a scoop-neck, a V-neck, and a button down oxford (if that fits your style).
  • Two or three (or even more!) pairs of jeans. Try to have variety (skinny, dark wash, light wash, boot cut, wide leg, straight leg, stone washed, etc...)
  • Black pants, whether they're denim or slacks or whatever.
  • Two pairs of shorts, and a skirt.
  • Lots and lots of shoes! (Flip flops, Uggs, ballet flats...) You can never have too many shoes.
  • At least one sweatshirt. The more, the better to match your clothes. I suggest getting lots of cardigans, too, as they can be quite useful.
  • A winter jacket, for winter of course (unless where you live is always sunny!).
  • Two dresses: a summer dress, and a formal dress. Even if you're not the "dress" type, trust me, it's good to at least have them.
I believe that would be all. You can change this around to fit your own style, however. I hope that you'll be able to gather some of these essentials over the summer! I'll post again tomorrow.

Create a list of things you did over the summer

Hey. You all can call me Sassy.
I know that most of you are here because you most likely don't like school, dread waking up to that screeching alarm every morning, and absolutely despise your Picture Day photo, am I not right?
Well so do I. If I have to hear my alarm ring one more time at 6:25 am, I am going to rip my hair out. My picture day photos are always butt-ugly, and you can usually see my bra. Whoops.
For my next four years of high school, and even my college years, I'm going to be going through my quest of making school rule, starting with the summer of '09. I'll give you guys tips and pointers along the way to help make your experience rule, too. Aren't I so caring? :)
One thing I'd like to start off with – something I learned in my middle school years – is that you should write a list of all the cool things you did over the summer that you wouldn't mind sharing in a classroom. Like going to California, or taking a Boston trip with your friends, like I did yesterday. Or maybe your dance recital or talking about your cool camp you went to for a month. Those kind of things! Then when your teachers ask you what you did over the summer in front of your entire English class you wont stand there like an idiot being like "oh, uh, I uh, like stayed home. I... watched TV and went on Facebook." No, no, no! That simply wont do. Make a list! (Towards the end of August, I'll share my list with you guys).
Anyways, this post is getting a bit meaty. Get to list making! I know I will be.
