First Lie to your Parents
Report cards are my least favorite word. I lied to my parents about having report card pick up so we never went and It later backfired and my parents got mad at me. -

Freshman Hoco!
My first high school dance was the best thing in the world at the time to me. I spend at least 20 hours shopping in total. I wore a black dress from express. I got ready with 3 other friends. I did all of their makeup and did one girls hair. The second we got to school we all went our separate ways and found so many people to dance with. Overall a great night -
Enjoying a family vacation
"Greece here I come!!!" , I shouted as my family and I ran onto the plane to make it on time to our flight. We landed in athens greece after a long 14 hours all together. Then we took a boat to cefalonia and enjoyed the rest of our stay. -
Sophomore year hoco!
I hosted a party bus for homecoming and it was a disaster. I've never been so stressed in my life. Never again will I host a party bus for teenagers. I picked my dress last minute. I forgot my ticket at home. The dance was fun when it came but before it, I was having a horrible time. -
Junior Year Hoco!!!!!!
By far the greatest homecoming!! I had a great time and my dress was beautiful. I decided to go with a date this year,unlike my previous homecomings and it was good. Overall, I had a really fun time and I wouldn't change anything about it. -
Appreciating this moment right now
I learned to appreciate things in life. Nothing lasts forever so indulge in the moment now and take time every once in a while and appreciate where you are now.
