 I am thankful for many things. But if I had to pick one thing to be thankful for it would be the opportunity i have. I have access to food, water, a good education, and electricity, which is something not everyone can say! I am so lucky to have the resources i need to to live a happy and fulfilling life. Summery --- Im thankful for Opportunity 

  A truth ive had to accept is that ill probably never get into my dream school, Georgia Tech. I had a really rough freshman year which tanked my gpa into the floor, and most students that get into Georgia tech have had basically perfect high school careers and tons of extracurriculars and awards and whatnot. But its okay, what college you graduate from isnt as big of a limiter as i thought it was, its mostly dependent on what you do in college and what kind of person you are in a work environment/ your work-ethic. Itll all work out in the end so its fine

 I dont know if this counts but i would love to go to Alaska one day! I would want to go to alaska mainly to see the northern lights like most people do, but i would also want to go during the dark or light season. During certain points during the year the sun would either stay up or stay down for a few months at a time. I think it would be a really interesting experience to live in that environment for a while, alaska in my mind is almost like a different planet and i think thats awesome. Summery -- Alaska because its like an alien planet

 Ill never understand why people dont try. Ive noticed a lot of people recently that just haven't been trying or have been doing the bare minimum. I dont understand how its worth it, i understand that people do it to feel good in the moment or to just be lazy. But i dont get how you can do that and still sleep at night, everyday is a gift and theres enjoyment or a learning moment in everything you do and its just not worth it to do the bare minimum when doing more doesnt really take all that much more energy. Summery --- Wasting time

 I wish i had more time, time is one of the most valuable things in the world. I really dont think there is any other answer to this question. With more time you can accomplish ANYTHING you want in life. I think time goes unappreciated most of the time too which is crazy because time is such a gift. Time passes without you realizing it but when you look back it really begins to sink in how temporary everything is in the Grand scheme of things. Summery - Time, because of how valuable and temporary it is

One weekend i had to stay home and study for a test instead of going on this trip with my family, and i was pretty bummed out about it. I had spent the majority of the fall break sitting at home looking at a computer screen trying to learn all these new topics i had never seen before. But when my family got back home my sister who is mean to me 90% of the time got me a new belt!  Summery: Sister that is mean all the time got me a present 

 A feeling that took me by surprise was fear. One spring break i went to Tennessee and i was going with my family to explore a cave. I was really excited on the way to the cave but the second we started descending into the cave what felt like a pit started opening up into my stomach. I realized that i was actually scared of going into the cave and i started thinking about all the different things that could go wrong and I really wanted to leave. But in the end i concurred my fears and actually had a really good time in the cave and ended up seeing an underground water fall! summery: Concurred my fears of going in a cave

The most lost ive ever been is when i was at shaky knees festival and i was looking for my parents after the show. I had just finished seeing weezer at shaky knees and when i went to leave so was everyone else, so as i was trying to go one way the crowd would push me another and i got really disorientated. It was kind of scary but also pretty fun at the same time.

The beach is great because it offers an escape from everyday life. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore and the smell of salt in the air. The warm sand lays beneath your feet like a warm pillow inviting you to relax. And at the end of the day the sunset will pain the sky with color and bring a warm close to the day.

On November 7th 2024 We started working on our ambush one pagers. It's pretty fun but i think it was too much information to fit on one piece of paper with a drawing on it but i made it work. I was sick for a full week and completely forgot about our blog posts 💔. Starting Friday we are doing different blog posts with a prompt for them. Im gonna miss the ones were doing now because i think its fun to talk about what we think about the assignments, But i also think that the prompts will help improve my writing skills. I think it would be cool if we could swap like weekly or monthly but that also might not be worth to keep track of.
