It's here. The infamous, sweat-producing, skin-cancer causing, body-image-killing 3 months we love and I don't know that this sun-burn-prone workaholic has ever quite appreciated the coming of summer vacation quite as much as she does right now, and I'm pretty sure she's more pumped about it than any one in the history of man-kind. Why is this summer so special you ask? It's not. The freedom was WAY past due. Granted, I am a teenager so by definition I'm supposed to hate school. However, being the social butterfly that I am and an undercover math nerd as well, school is usually the place where I thrive. Unfortunately for the past two months this has not been the case. Here's why:
1. Boredom- teachers have been so unorganized and lazy lately that I find myself sitting in class and doing nothing for 75% of the day.
2. Fatigue- do you really expect a highschooler to be at school at 6:45 am for a period zero advanced choir class and be functional after an hour?
3. Attitude- for some stupid reason I decided that maybe I should try complaining about all the things that bug me instead of my usual everything-is-rainbows-and-butterflies mindset: coincidentally at the exact same time my life became living hell and the I. Q. of every one around me dropped about 2000 points (which kind of killed my motivation to socialize)
The first 2 components to this dissatisfaction are things of the past. This third phenomena however, is quite the setback. I have decided that maybe it wasn't such a good idea to mirror those around me. It just doesn't work for me. So that is going to end right away, and this is how I'm going to do it:
1. Stop using negative words- hate, waste, useless, boring
2. Compliment as many people a day as I can remember to-that always makes me feel great!
3. Pull my head out of my ass- Life rocks. Get over yourself Taylor.
So here I go, jumping head on into the thrills of summer before my senior year and smiling bigger than ever while doing it! Here is my plan for starting:
1. Sleep for about 4 days straight.
2. Make model poses in the mirror in my bikini and pretend I'm in a Seventeen photo shoot for the summer kick-off issue.
3. Make fruit salad.
Goal of the week: Schedule exactly when I need to have each IB English summer reading novel completed in order to avoid shooting myself in the head after the quiz on the first day of school in september.
P.S. So I have some accountability for when I decide that I am going to change the curriculum to encompass living authors: Harry Potter is NOT an IB English novel.
