Make Up Blog: The Finale

So this is it, the final one. I have spent countless hours trying to think of an idea to write about, and I have none left. So I'll write about whatever I can think of. I've noticed how bad my blogs are compared to everyone else's. Everyone else is out there writing a page worth of stuff and I'm sitting here struggling to write 250 words. Also, I've noticed how low quality my blogs are compared to all the others. You all are writing great pieces of art with pictures and everything else. I'm writing boring stuff that not even I would read. I tried doing the whole picture thing, but I got to lazy and thought they added nothing to my blogs. I tried to use a picture of Chris shooting a rifle during one of my blogs, and I thought it was pretty alright. Also, if Chris Will is reading this blog, stop laughing at me and go away. Moving on. My writing skill has improved slightly from writing these things. It has really taught me how to fill a paragraph with some bs to help make it longer, which I think will be a valuable skill in college. It has helped me figure out how to put my thoughts into words, but I think it just happened because I am writing these words as fast as a shark chasing a whale. Well, I think this about wraps up my final blog. Farewell everyone, and by the way my birthday is coming up soon.

Make Up Blog: College

After a battle between two great schools in Butler and Centre, I have decided that I will be attending Centre. I was leaning toward Butler for a long while, and they offered a lot because I got into their college of pharmacy. Now I don't even know what I want to do. That's the great thing about Centre. When I go there I have a while before I decide what I want to do, which is something in health care. If I went to Butler and attended the college of pharmacy, I would be stuck with pharmacy, and if I ended up not liking it I don't think I could get out of the CoP and try to study something else. Money was also a factor in my decision. Butler didn't give me all that much, while Centre gave a pretty good amount. And Centre was a lot closer to home than Butler. I think Centre is a 45-60 min drive, while Butler would have been a 3.5 hour drive. Mercer, one of the colleges I was considering before, would have been a 7 hour drive. Now I'm just trying to figure out which residence hall I was to live in. I'm lucky and don't have to worry about having a crazy roommate because I'm rooming with a good friend of mine. I won't be far away from my friends either, since most of them are staying in Kentucky. I am very excited to move in in Septemer!

Make Up Blog: Review Of Senior Year

Senior has been a mix of good and bad. On the good side, I have had the most fun I've probably ever had at school, especially my b days. My b days consisted of aiding forMr. Reed's during first block, sitting in the band room during second block, and sitting study hall for fourth block. The only real class I have on b days is English, but it has been very enjoyable this year, unlike most of my past English classes. My a days have been alright. All 4 years, my a days have been my more difficult day. The bad side of the year has been my grades. The 3 years before this, my grades have never been below a b, and now if I see anything worse, I kinda panic. That's happened a lot this year. I haven't had the best work ethic this year. It's not that I didn't care about my grades, but I found it really hard to work on anything. I would think that I could just do something later, but never got around to doing it. I think I just took too many hard classes for my senior year. You always hear how some barely do anything their entire senior year, but here I am taking 3 ap classes, which is the most I've taken in one year. I'm only taking two ap tests this year, and I'm thinking I will do pretty good on my calculus exam. But, I'm nervous about the English test. I've never been strong in English, but I've been studying pretty hard, and I think I'll do fine.

Non-Fiction

Until recently, I have hated having to read non-fiction books. Most of the time, I would be required to read autobiographies about some I don't really care about. I had always thought of a non-fiction as just that, a boring book about someones life who I don't really care about. But a couple of weeks ago I read Behind the Beautiful Forever's by Katherine Boo, and I thought it was fantastic. It really felt like I was living in the Mumbai slum with her. And now I am reading the non-fiction book American Sniper by Chris Kyle. This is an autobiography on Kyle when he was a SEAL sniper during the war in Iraq and it is amazing. Kyle holds the record for most confirmed kills by a sniper, and the longest shot by a sniper. The autobiography follows Chris Kyle as he goes through training to become a SEAL as well. As I got further into the book, I could see how the training to become a SEAL can affect a person. They are pretty much brainwashed into thinking that  they are the best fighters in the world, that they are invincible and that dying in battle is the only way to die. But, it also shows how many lives this mentality can save. There are multiple times where he would run out in the middle of a fire fight and pull someone out who had gone down. It is an amazing story, and is definitely worth a read.
