Books, Test, And.... Art?

Books, Tests, And.... Art?


Hello Dears,


     It is, more than, definitely the time of year where everyone is back at school and have finally gotten down into the groove of things. Some may argue that school is boring or blocks out people's creativity, while I on the other hand have experienced quiet the contrary.


    I am known as one of the more creative and overall artistic people in our class. And although that's mainly because of my writing, I also love to express my emotions and personality through painting, drawing, singing, acting, or even baking sometimes. For me it's mainly a way to wind down, and help me become grounded when I'm overwhelmed by the pressures of school. The main thing that allows me to do all of this at school is the variety of clubs I'm in.


I join at least 2-3 clubs and teams every school year, and always have a full schedule. Now this is just a personal preference, because I like to stay busy and to always be doing something, but for me it really helps.


For example, most of my clubs are during lunch hour, and before that I have French Immersion Math or NRF, French Immersion Social Studies, and English Language Arts, so by lunch hour my brain is either nearly at it's limit or just completely fried. But because I have, let's say, Art Club, or Glee Club during lunch hour, I get that one full hour to let my brain relax and just do something I really love.


Let me show you! This is a piece that I finished just last week on a huge canvas that will be going in my school's library. I cannot name how many times, while making this, that I had begun painting absolutely frustrated with something that had happened in class, but as time slowly passed, and I spent more time concentrating on painting, all of my worries and frustrations just melted into the canvas.

     Now I am in no way saying that school isn't hard, or that just because you join a club you will never be stressed about school, because saying that would be a huge lie. I get majorly stressed during math class daily, I've almost fallen asleep in science at least twice, and I do tend to day dream in nearly every class.

What I am saying is to put yourself out there! Find something you love, and see if there is a club or a team for your passion. It'll give you something to look forward to that day, and will give you some personal time.  Not to mention joining clubs can look good on resumes and for scholarships. :)

So please, give yourself a goal this school year, and join a club or team, and if you can't find anything, then maybe just try something new.

Yours truly,

Welcome To Hel- I Mean, School.

Hello Peoples,


Some of you may be wondering, where the heck I've been these past two weeks. My answer is one word. School. I have recently entered this small group, I'm sure you've heard of it. It's called high school. HIGH SCHOOL!!! As in the place that every book, fan fiction, and movie describe as pure torture. Yup, that's the one. But I must admit. I completely disagree with this stereotypical statement that's set upon us teenagers. I actually find school fun! All my teachers are pretty chill, and my classes don't seem too hard yet, but there is only two down sides in my new high school life.


Number One: My schedule


I HAVE GYM EVERY FRICKEN' DAY UNTIL NOVEMBER!!!! Do you know how much that sucks?! And it's not even last period! It's 5th, so I have to spend and entire class sweaty, and go on a long bus ride home. Sounds fun, right? (Note the sarcasm) I mean if I didn't get sweaty I wouldn't mind gym. It actually helps me get in shape for basketball season! But the fact that I'm coated in a thin layer if sweat for an entire hour disturbs me. It is not fun. I hate it.


Number Two: Sleep Deprivation


Now this is partially my fault. I hate sleep, sleep hates me. We have an agreement. The problem is I work the morning shift Saturdays. Meaning I only have Sundays to sleep in. And sometimes not even that! Most of the time we go to church Sundays, so I don't get the chance to sleep at all!! I NEED SLEEP!!! I'M LIKE A WALKING ZOMBIE AT SCHOOL!!! I think it's starting to effect my writing. That makes me mad. Mess with my sanity all you want Sleep, but don't mess with my writing!!!


Besides that schools been sweet. I get to see my favorite teachers, my precious library,
hang out with my friends, and I made a new friend. I'm going to call her Fan Girl. Why this name you ask? Because she is in all of the same fandoms as me and many more. She is a huge fan girl. Fan Girl, Glasses (my other friend), and I hang out all the time. What do we do? We play Uno with Princess Bride playing card, and eat skittles, while fan girling about my monthly obsession. This month it's Marvel. Can you blame me? They've got Chris Evans (TWICE), Tom Hiddelston, and Robert Downey JR!! If that's not enough to make a girl melt, I don't know what is!


Anywho, that's basically been my routine for the past two weeks. But I guess that's normal in my life. And it hasn't even hit the busy season yet! I'm telling the worst is yet to come. Now that will be torture.


Wish me luck,


The Nerdy Blogger
