This is my very last blog of the YEAR! For the last blog I thought I would do sort of a recap of the year and tell you guys things I\u2019ve learned what I would or would not do again, talk about the friends that I have made, my plans for next year, how I\u2019ll decorate my room, etc. Okay so let\u2019s get into it. Oh my gosh y\u2019all first and foremost I will be a SENIOR in high school next year. TIME IS MOVING SO FAST. I\u2019m ready but I\u2019m not ready. This is so bittersweet. The juniors next year will be looking up to us to help them and that\u2019s kind of scary honestly. I\u2019ve loved everything about MSA since I\u2019ve been here and I feel like I\u2019ll love it even more next year. The first day I got here I was building stuff, unpacking clothes and saying goodbye to my family members. I never imagined I would change this much in less than a year.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0My style is so different. I\u2019ve always worn black but I like my clothes way bigger than I used to. I feel like I\u2019ve grown so much more confident in myself and my body. I used to only wear like tight clothing. Not for attention but because that\u2019s what other girls would wear and I thought it was what I should wear too. Now I only care about what I want for myself and how I feel about me. I\u2019ve always been independent and haven\u2019t let other have too much influence over me but in the back of my mind I wanted to be like those other girls and now I only want to be me. I\u2019ve made so many fantastic friends here. My roommate is so special to me and it\u2019s crazy to think that I didn\u2019t even know her when we got here. We originally met on instagram like 2 days before our official move-in day and she was not my original roommate. I used to room with my friend from my hometown and old school and I moved in with Shakeera in September. We\u2019re polar opposites yet exactly the same. We have so much fun together, there is never a dull moment, and I\u2019m so grateful that we were brought together. My suite mates Asia and Kaydence are some great friends I\u2019ve made as well, they have great taste in music we always have dance parties in the bathroom and do each other\u2019s hair and makeup. My entire suite is simply a vibe. Ronada is another friend. We always laugh when we\u2019re together and if one of us dances the other has to dance too. I have loved dying her hair this year. SHE HAS AMAZING HAIR. That reminds me earlier this year Shakeera and I bleached our roots blonde and kept the ends of our hair pink and twinned for a while, it was so cute.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0My passion for writing and becoming a published writer has flourished tremendously. I\u2019ve seen my fellow literaries accomplish some things that I want for myself and this school has shed light on so many competitions, and writing camps that I can attend and I plan to take part in each one. There were so many things about writing I had no idea about. Haibuns, abecedarians, kwansaba\u2019s and so many others. My teacher is amazing and I can\u2019t thank her enough for pushing me and my peers through this year as I thought I couldn\u2019t finish so many of the assignments she gave us. My plans for next year are to apply for as many colleges and scholarships as I possibly can so that I have money to work with and options to choose from. I want to major in creative writing and probably minor in something such as English or psychology.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Next year Shakeera and I plan to decorate our room with a hippie theme. You know all different sorts of colors, patterns, and designs. The bathroom will be more of a earthy, plant vibe. I can\u2019t wait to see what the summer has in store for me and what next year brings.<\/p>\n<p>PEACE OUT!<\/p>\n<p>I LOVE YOU GUYS (mwah)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Hey guys!!!
