It&#8217;s been a few months since my last one of these, and a lot has changed! I have evolved, not only as a writer, but also as a person. I think for my first blog of the year I\u2019m just simply going to talk about what\u2019s new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have found that I love Minions! Papoi! I know that last year I liked them and I would call my friendgroup the Babois because of how much I liked them, but now it\u2019s different. I REALLY love the Minions. If I had one wish ever it would be to be friends with a Minion. I love them. They are so silly and just have no worries at all and I love that for them. Also apparently they are immortal? This is a common discussion between me and my girlfriend.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have gotten really into watching really bad films on Tubi. Like lots of bad films on Tubi. I would make a list of my favorites, but I don\u2019t know how\u2026 appropriate that would be; however, I will leave you with this: if you scroll through Tubi for too long, you will find some interesting things. I usually end up watching these with Alex during English IV when we have nothing to do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have expanded my music taste! I have been listening to a lot more The Weeknd (thanks to David Walker), Mars Argo, Nirvana, Cherry Pick, and more. I have tried to stop limiting myself to certain genres or vibes of music when I have a crisis. Going back to the Tubi movie obsession, these movies also have great sound tracks, so that&#8217;s always fun!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have begun to look at more art. Mostly classical pieces. Right now I\u2019m studying Van Gogh, next will probably be Renoir. I used to wonder why people stood in front of art for like hours at museums, but I\u2019m starting to see why. What I like about Van Gogh is that his art style is very streaky. You can tell its art made by a paintbrush while still seeing that it\u2019s realism. I don\u2019t know if that&#8217;s stupid or like confusing, but yeah.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I\u2019m going to transition over to what I did during the summer! I attended the McMullins Writing camp, where I roomed with Lela and made so many friends. I found out that I am very much a fall\/winter person. (The heat KILLED me.) I spent many days with my best friend McCarley. (We practically lived with each other all summer.) I got accepted into Itawamaba Community College, though I\u2019m not completely sure that&#8217;s where I want to go. It is the most convenient option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For my future, I now want to do college online and study to be a creative writing teacher. I want to live with my best friend and girlfriend. I want to own a dog and a lizard. I also want to be a published poet who participates in workshops and festivals. For now, I want to work at a small business or a record and book store. I think that would suit my personality and just sound cool to tell people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t want to keep you reading for soooo long about me me me, so here&#8217;s a few questions about you! &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>How was your summer?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Did you learn anything new about yourself?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What do you think your future holds?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, I just wanted to remind you guys that no matter how stressful this senior year may be, I&#8217;m always here to talk or listen! I know that this year is the one that we all have been looking forward to since we were kids, so I just hope we can all make it a good one, in harmony, together.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, this concludes my first blog of senior year. I love you guys, thanks for reading. Talk soon!&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi blog! It&#8217;s been a few months since my last one of these, and a lot has changed!
