Me Talking About My Life

made on 11-23-2022

Hey there! It’s me again! I do not have school today or the rest of this week for that matter (thanksgiving break)! Today’s post is very chill, there is a BUNCH of stuff I just want to say, so here it is!

Random:

I didn’t post last week because I had rehearsals for something going on at school, it went really well! A LOT of people came to the event! WAYYyyYYYY more people than last year came, and a lot of people I knew came (I was promoting the event hehe). Many teachers came too! A lot of them were teachers I have/had, my favorite teacher from last year came and he was talking about it and about how great I was and it made me sooo happy! My science teachers, history teachers, and other teachers came!

Music:

Recently I have been listening to hip hop, like alot! Mainly Kendrick Lamar, his songs are so catchyyy, the music is very upbeat and makes me feel energized. I honestly don’t know why I just started randomly listening to hip hop, but I did and it’s ALL I’ve been listening too! I am listening to a Kendrick song right now..

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is tomorrow! I am so thankful for everything I have and I am going to gain 20 pounds…

Just kidding, I say that every year, but I don’t lol

Book recs?

I am almost done with the book I am currently reading. I MIGHT do a review on the book. Anyways, I need some new book recommendations! What books do you like to read? It can be any category!

That is it for this post! Have an amazing thanksgiving, I will catch you next time!

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

made on 11-13-2022

Hey there. I recently watched black panther wakanda forever. Here are my thoughts:

**there are some spoilers in this post**

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

This movie was absolutely amazing. I love how it was so mature and sensitive around Chadwick’s death (R.I.P). They killed off the character T’Challa, I think they made the right decision. I feel if they had tried to find a new actor to replace Chadwick, or CGI something, it would not have been respectful to Chadwick and it would spark A LOT of controversy and hate.

This movie was very different than the first black panther. In no way will I even try to compare this to the first movie. Both movies are too different to compare, Chadwick Boseman unfortunately passed away and could not be Black Panther in Wakanda forever, so the circumstances are just too different to compare. If that makes sense…..

I will say, the first movie was very light and happy like any normal superhero movie. Wakanda Forever was filled with emotions and so much depth, there were happy parts and all, but you just get a very different vibe. The villian, Namor (played by Tenoch Huerta) does such a good job at being a sympathetic antagonist. They gave him a backstory and depth, and in the end he just wanted what was good for his people.

There were some parts in the movie which were VERY emotional (someone died–other than T’Challa… I won’t say who in case you haven’t watched it, but this affects someone else alot). I got emotional at the end when they had a tribute to Chadwick Boseman. Lift Me Up by Rihanna (the title track) matches the movie soooo much.

The midcredits scene made me so happy. I will try my best not to spoil it, but it made ME SOOOOOO HAPPY! IT was SOOOO CUTE AND WHOLESOME!

Spoilers: Shuri was thinking about her brother and his passing and then Nakia and someone came and something happened hehe. You could see shuri’s face light up when she saw someone and started talking to them…. ( I am trying my best not to spoil it)!

That is my little summary/ review of the movie! Have you watched it yet? What are your thoughts?

Spooky Season

made on 10-23-2022

Hey there, it’s me again! This post is going to be sooo random, I had no clue what to title it! Anyways let’s get into it.

Random

It’s spooky season! I am so excited for Halloween!! There are alot of events going on at school and just in general!

I have been getting a lot of fall drinks:

Pumpkin Spice Signature Iced Latte from Dunkin- it was good! I like that it was iced!! I also got a creme filled pumpkin donut from Dunkin- The flavor was not pumpkin, it just had orange pumpkin frosting on the top.
hot caramel pumpkin brûlée cold brew from Dutch Bros- If you are from the east coast you have probably not heard of Dutch bros since it is mainly on the west coast of America. I liked the drink, but it was a hot drink and I am not really a big fan of hot drinks. I got it hot because my throat was scratchy at the time. I also got an Iced Sweater Weather Chai from Dutch Bros- It was good!
I got a Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino from Starbucks- I loved it! It was deeeeelicious. I also got a Pumpkin cream cold brew and that was great 🙂

I am pumped up for halloween! I have these really cool halloween earrings that I have been wearing recently!

There was a theater show that I watched recently and it was a lot funnier than I expected! I had a great time, I went to the show for some “business” purposes heh..

That is it for this very random post! QUESTION: What is one of your favorite Halloween movies? Answer in the comments.

I’ll catch you next time, bye!

Updates + Hocus Pocus 2

made on 10-9-2022

Hey there, it’s me! Today I am going to be talking about somethings, let’s get into it.

Updates

I said some stuff in my September Overview 2022 post, you might want to check that out. Anyways, the update I was talking about in that post was that for this month, I am trying something. I will not have a posting schedule. I decided to do this was because it felt to me as if I HAD to post every thursday. Even if I was feeling unmotivated, which I was. So, instead I will just post whenever I want to. This gives me a lot more freedom and in my opinion, motivates me to post instead of feeling like I have to.

I hope you guys understand!

*This post is tributed to someone I love very much: I love you so much, thank you for being there for me*

I have been going through a bit of a rough time in my life, but really wanted to put that there, this person will always be in my heart ❤

Sorry that was super random, anyways onto the next portion of this post: Hocus Pocus 2!!!

Hocus Pocus 2

I was SOOOOOOO excited for hocus pocus 2, it premiered on disney plus on September 30th. I watched it on September 30th. To be honest, I think I had too high of expectations for the movie. I mean in most cases the original is A LOT better than the sequel and I knew it would be like that for this movie, but still. I like the original hocus pocus alot better. This movie was good, and I would watch it if you watched the original. But, the o.g. was AMAAAAAAAHHHHZIING. I would definitely recommend watching it if you haven’t, it is such an iconic Halloween movie!

I liked seeing how the Sanderson sisters aged (they didn’t really age they look the same, but still)! I loved those 3, who wouldn’t! My main problem was the new actors, I mean they were fine and all, but it just seemed kind of unnatural. For example, the original hocus pocus just seemed so, pure. I don’t really know how to describe it, the actors in that were just better. No shade/hate to the actors in HP 2 , I think they were good, the vibe is just different, you know?

I did really love seeing the sisters when they were younger. At the beginning of the movie, it showed a little backstory of the sisters when they were little. That part was fun.

Anyways, have you watched Hocus Pocus or Hocus Pocus 2 yet? What are your thoughts. Also, the name *Thackery* (from hocus pocus 1) is just so fun to say!

Hey there, it’s me again! Can you believe september is almost over!?! Anyways, this week’s post is chill, let’s get into it!

My Week so Far

My week has been pretty good! I went to Starbucks and I got a pumpkin cream cold brew! It was delicious!!! I can’t wait for spooky season though!

School has been going good! We played some games in class this week. This week has been VERY chill, I have only had 1 quiz so far!!! THAT IS AMAZINGGG. Tomorrow there is this event thing happening at my school and I think it should be fun!

My day was soooo funny today! Something sooooo hilarious happened at school, if I type it here you guys probably won’t get it since you would have to know some background information. Anyways I was laughing soooo much!

Make sure to listen to the song September before september ends! I always like to listen to it at least once in september.

I am currently doing some math homework and working on this post.

Anyways that is it for this post! How is your week going? I’ll catch you later, bye!!

Happy First Day of Fall!

made on 9-22-2022

Hi there, it’s me again! Happy first day of fall!!!! Today I have a very chill post, let’s get into it

How My Life has Been

This week has been a good week. There were some sad parts of my week, but I don’t really want to touch on that.

Anyways school has been really funny, I have this teacher and he does alot of funny stuff (he is not funny, the things he does is funny).

I ordered bath and body works! It came today!

I got: Pumpkin pecan waffles, Moon light Path, and Ivory Cashmere Shower gel. I also got some wallflowers. The scents I picked for the wallflowers were: Vanilla Pumpkin Marshmallow and Tis the season (for winter). I am thinking wayy ahead.

This week has been pretty chill at school! The days have been flying by! The clubs I am in have been super fun! I got to see my picture from picture day this week. It turned out really good!! I am happy with the outcomes.

Also, I have recovered from my little sickness (if you remember, I have been a little sick recently)!!!

How is your week going?

How to try not to procrastinate!

made on 9-1-2022

Hey there it’s me again! I am back! Anyways, today I am here with some tips on how to avoid procrastination. Let’s get into it!

*I have recently been obsessed with Kevin G song from mean girls lol*

Tips

1. Put away ALL distractions.

Looking at a device or book instead of doing your work is VERY tempting! So, put it away!! This is super simple. Maybe, when you are better at doing your work and not putting it off until later, try keeping the distractions there to test your willpower!

2. Set goals

One way I like to not put work off, is set goals. Maybe something like, finish this worksheet by tomorrow. You can even give yourself a little reward like a bite of ice cream or an episode of your favorite show!

3. Remember being worse off in the short run makes you better off in the long run

If you decide to do your homework NOW instead of watching youtube, you can watch more youtube in the future and finish the homework off soon, so you don’t have to worry about it last minute.

Note: It is fine to procrastinate every once in a while because sometimes you just need to. But if I were you, I would not let it get to staying up until 3 am trying to finish your work because you were gaming with your friends 😛

Those are some tips that I use that help me! What do you guys do to avoid procrastination?
