Spending time with friends for a whole weekend in a hotel is pretty awesome and what most kids would love to do more often. Things to do with friends are playing card games, going out to eat, and just doing everything a typical teenager would do with friends in a hotel. What I did last weekend was all...
Diamond This Diamond That
November 14, 2018
My fall break was pretty cool. I took a trip to Murfreesboro, Arkansas, to search for diamonds in the Crater of Diamonds State Park. I really didn’t mind the long driving hours and I thought it was kind of cool to see how much the scenery changes in such a short amount of time. Murfreesboro isn’t r...

I know that I am not a senior, but I over think about the future all the time. I can still remember having the seventh grade orientation visit and looking in the classrooms. I remember sitting in Mrs. Guy’s music room at Galveston Elementary and learning to play my first French Horn. I remember sitting...

Beep! Beep! Beep! The alarm screeches to get me out of the warm fuzzy blankets tightly wrapped around my body, holding in every second of body heat that has been adding up from the time I crawled into bed. As I hear movement in the house, from everyone else dragging out of bed, I push myself to shut m...

Saturday, November 4, 2018, is a day that I will remember forever. This was the day that I, along with my mom and my sisters, had the privilege of seeing former president Barack Obama speak in Gary, Indiana.

Everyone has a favorite artist, song, or album. Something that a person can turn to when they feel down or need to be uplifted. We all, if not most, have a song for your feels, to jam out to, or to have a good cry. How would you feel if you got the opportunity to go see your favorite artist perform ri...

I recently visited San Diego with my family to attend the military graduation of my oldest brother, Niles. While I was super excited to see Niles, I was also excited to eat the food Old Town in San Diego had to offer. The food was all mainly based on Mexican dishes, and although I am not a fan of Mexi...

My whole life I have planned on going into the medical field in college. Up until last year, I was dead set on becoming a nurse. Something made me realize that maybe that wasn’t what I wanted to do the rest of my life. I began looking and trying to decide what I wanted to go into. Out of everything I...

Most people if not everyone loves vacation and to have a break from working and just life. For us, fall break was just last week and everyone is wishing that it was longer or never ended.

October 22, 2018
As the years progress, my friend group gets smaller and smaller; however, sometimes that isn’t always a bad thing. People grow up, and they start to go their separate ways which I am glad I did that because I would’ve never met Kara Riley who is slowly but surely becoming one of my best friends. We have...

Have you ever had a week or day that you were so excited for it seemed as if those days were never going to come? And that the pace of the following weeks would be so prolonged and boring? I felt that exact way about Wednesday during fall break. I was so excited for that day to finally come because I w...
