Surviving High School: Homecoming Week

It's finally here- that week where you can come to school dressed like a banana, and no one would critisize you. Homecoming Week is definetly going to be one of my highlights of the year, because it's just non-stop fun.

At West Broward, our theme is "Let The Games Begin". Each grade was given a hallway to decorate wiht a certain theme (the freshman's: Harry Potter) and let me just say that they all look amazing. They were judged today, so I can't wait to find out the results.

Homecoming, in some ways, can be quite stressful. Especially this one, since report cards come out next week (ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh).

Anywho, Homecoming is a week of activities that is sure to be entertaining. (Tomorrow is Guess Who Day, where you have to dress like a celebrity).

All I have to say is, let the games begin.

Surviving Freshman Year: The First Week

Okay, so we all know that today marked the second week of school. That's a good thing. Great, in fact. That means I survived the first week of (dun dun dun...) HIGH SCHOOL.

To be truthful, I honestly wasn't nervous the last few days of summer. In fact, I was excited. I couldn't wait for the summer to be over. I started getting nervous the morning of, as I was walking to West Broward.

My middle school was really tiny. Like so tiny you could fit five of them in my school. So, as you could probably imagine, I was not used to such a HUGE atmosphere. But, I have a handful of good friends by my side, and I know this year will be great.
