I'm going to be brutally honest here. I sort of expected this year to start with angels singing as the class of 2017 walked the halls of our school, or something along those lines. What I got was a depressed gang who really want to go back to sleep but are glad to see that their friends are still alive. The funny thing is, this was the only year out of all the years I started school that I came back from school crying. As most of you guys know I went full on hot pink hair, and I absolutely adore it. Others however, have a much different perspective. I respect your opinion and all, but don't go trying to shove your perspective down my throat, thank you very much. What led me to my braking point, mind you it was a pretty low braking point as I was riding the crimson wave, was a teacher. She was asking about our nationalities and when I said I was Lebanese she told me and I quote " but we are not like this" implying that I look like I'm one of those, how to put this nicely, "bad girls", and honestly it was the last period. I had heard negative opinions being reaterated, and I was so disappointed in the first day I just cracked. I know now that the teacher probably didn't mean anything by it, but try telling that to a hormonal teenager, whose best friend is absent.

My best friend, Ayiah, was touring America, and was going to be absent for two weeks. Right now we are either in week six or seven of school and I'm counting down for the end of the year. There are somethings I will definitely not miss about our school. Like how we always have to walk in lines, and have to get out of class to go down to enjoy our brake in the blazing sun. I will definitely not miss the islamic term paper, or the english one. I don't ever want to hear the word assembly ever again in my whole life. On the other hand, I think I will miss many things, like the kindness of the teachers, and their leniency with due dates. I will definitely miss seeing my friends for an unbearable amount of time :D I truly will miss the routine of it all, but I think I'm ready for change. I've been really worried about college though, I don't know what I want to major in and I don't have enough time to choose. I am thinking about studying either medicine, pharmacy, marketing, or engineering. I know they are all in different fields but I am just interested in all of them. Although truthfully, I'd rather study culinary arts. I just think I'd be better at that. I have written a wishlist of one hundred things I want to do before I graduate. Most of them are simple things like buy a cupcake or play dress up with my little sister. Some on the other hand are proving to be a challenge. For example, I wanted to have all my notes color coordinated for this whole year. I just don't want to do it anymore it takes so much time and I'm slowly going crazy. Im still hoping for the best, and I wish you have the best of what life has to offer. Until next time -Taima47
