Well. Sophomore year is almost over. Writing this blog is so bittersweet. When I look back over the past school year and think of all the different memories I have, I go from smiling to crying to laughing and do it all over again. I think of the times where I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe and the times where tears streamed down my eyes. I think about the restless nights where I stayed up for hours studying and the nights that I didn't wanna go to sleep because I didn't wanna say goodnight. I think about all the friendships that I've made this year and all the broken relationships. I think about all the things that made this year so stressful and the little things that made it worthwhile. I can definitely say I've grown, and there's no doubt I've learned this year. But when I think about this year, I sure wish someone would have warned me! I most definitely wasn't prepared for it. So as I end sophomore year and began junior year, I will leave you with a few words of advice.
1. Be thankful for everything. You never know which breathe may be your last or when the last time you will talk to someone may be, so take nothing for granted.
2. Cherish your close friends. You know those few people who have always been there for you? Yeah, don't lose them. Don't ever take them for granted because you have no idea how much you need them.
3. Don't trust everyone. Some people will act like they care, but they only want to tear you down. Choose your friends wisely and don't share everything with everyone.
4. Study. Study. Study. Sophomore year is a lot harder than freshman year. You're in for it. Not everything's gonna be so easy anymore. Keep your grades up.
5. HAVE FUN!! Your high school years are supposed to be some of the best of your life. Don't wish your life away. Take a break and take it all in, you're gonna miss this!
Good luck!

Regret
Regret. What is it? Most would say they regret doing something, but what does that mean? Does it mean they did something that wasn't like them and they won't do it again? Does it have a definition?
Everyone does things that they wish they wouldn't have, but some would call it regret and some wouldn't. So what is regret? Is it the time that you ate that fourth piece of cake when you know you didn't need it? Or is it deeper than that? Some would say regret is simply something that you wish you wouldn't have done. I would agree with this statement, but how do you deal with it?
People say "live life with no regrets," but at the same time they are the ones that do the "stupid things" according to society. While they say this, they are throwing their lives away for a little fun. They're trading their eternity for a few nights of excitement. Would this not be considered regret? If one things for sure, they'll regret it when they die.
Some say they regret not saying something to someone or not doing someone for a love one who is now dead. So when you say "live life with no regrets" maybe that means you need to spend time with the people you care about. Who would regret that?
I hope that when I'm coming close to death that I can truly say I have no regrets. I may have done some things that I wish I wouldn't have, but I hope I won't regret the way I've lived my life. Society these days finds their happiness in Blurry nights, Facebook likes and Twitter follows. If you lost everything would you regret living that way? Don't you want more than last nights bragging rights? What if you died today? Would you have lived a life full of regrets? The future is a gift even though this is the present, live with no regrets.
