A Day In The Life

A day in the life of a senior in high school? Well, there's not much to tell.

6:10 a.m. - My phone's alarm rings to wake me up. Yes I know 6:10 is really early, but I have a system. The alarm rings, and I automatically hit the snooze button.

10 minutes later...

6:20 a.m. - My alarm rings for the second time, and I hit snooze for the second time.

10 minutes later...

6:30 a.m. - Alarm rings again, and I turn it off for the third time, then lay in bed for five minutes. Then I reluctantly drag myself out of bed.

6:35 a.m. - I go into the bathroom and wash my face, moisturize, and listen to music while putting makeup on.

6:45 a.m. - I walk back into my room and change into my outfit for the day.

6:55 a.m. to 7:40 a.m. - I go into the kitchen and make breakfast (usually oatmeal with chia seeds, walnuts, and blueberries, and eggs on the side). While eating breakfast I study, finish homework, or watch a TV show.

7:40 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. - I clean up my dishes, pack my lunch, and get everything ready in my backpack.

7:50 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. - I brush my teeth, spray some perfume on, then head back to the kitchen and put my shoes on and leave the house.

8:05 a.m. - I drive to school and listen to the radio, jamming out to the music playing on there.

8:15 a.m. to 8:20 a.m. - I arrive at school, park, and wait for my friend to show up.

8:30 a.m. - I walk to the Career Center with my friend and hang out until the bell rings at 8:40.

8:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. - School is in session.

3:15 p.m. - Since school ends at 3:15 I quickly walk to the parking lot with the hopes of beating the parking lot traffic and getting home before 4.

3:20 p.m. - Got stuck in the middle of traffic. Darn.

3:25 p.m. - Waiting.

3:30 p.m. - Still waiting.

3:40 p.m. - Finally got out of parking lot, and am heading home now.

3:55 p.m. - Get home.

4:15 p.m. - Go running on the street, or do some other form of exercise in order to stay in shape.

4:45 p.m. - Eat something healthy, whether it is a chia seed fruit smoothie or fruit. I usually watch TV while doing this.

6:00 p.m. - Still watching TV, but eating dinner while doing it.

7:00 p.m. - I decide to do my homework. I pull out my math, do one problem, then get distracted.

7:45 p.m. - Still doing math homework. But, I made myself a salad so I have a healthy snack while staying focused.

9:30 p.m. - Managed to finish most of my homework. Now I reward myself by watching an episode of Parks and Rec.

11:00 p.m. - Studying in bed (not the best option) where I keep falling asleep and reading the same paragraph over and over without absorbing anything.

12:00 a.m. - Decide to stop studying for the night due to exhaustion and go to sleep, ready to start the entire cycle over again the next day.

Getting Through Finals Week

As winter break is approaching and finals week is coming up, many students are stressed about how to study in order to perform successfully on their tests. Here are some tips on how to be calm, well rested, and ready for finals week. 1. Use Quizlet  - I started using Quizlet my junior year of high school, and I have used it ever since. I am now a freshman in college and I still use Quizlet for my classes. Quizlet is amazing; if you have a lot of terms you need to memorize, Quizlet is the perfect online website that will help you study those terms. Once you write in the terms and their definitions, there are a variety of options you can choose in order to study the terms, including a test, flashcards, etc. 2. Get lots of rest - Don't stay out late when you know you have a final the next day. Getting a lot of rest is beneficial if you want to perform well on a test. It does sound lame to go to sleep really early, but if you do so, your body will thank you. By going to sleep early...

Spicy Veggie Bean Chili

Since moving from my old house with a tiny, cramped kitchen to my new house with a large, open kitchen with an island, I have been meal prepping, cooking, and baking a lot more. With this, I have been keen to try new recipes! I do eat meat, but most of the time I tend to cook vegetarian and vegan meals. This vegetarian chili recipe was one that I came across while browsing for a good, hearty chili recipe, and it is so delicious I had to share it with all of you. I did not come up with this recipe myself. The lovely Shannon, with her blog "The Glowing Fridge," posted this recipe. Her website is amazing, and I highly recommend you check it out.
