A Single Year in the Life of a Teenager (Editing)

Week 34 (Unedited)

01/15/17

Hey people! Today was pretty ordinary. I slept  in and since I didn't have any homework I watched tv and played Pokémon.  Later in the day o listened to music in my room and my dad came home  with pizza which I very much appreciated. Nothing else to really report.  Well, I guess I should say that I'm still feeling down and stuff but  I'll just blame it on finals since I couldn't see my friends. I'm tired but glad o don't have school tomorrow. Goodnight people!01/16/17Hey  people! Today I spent time watching a show on Netflix with my dad and  playing Pokémon. I also tutored Vanessa which was fun and it's always  nice to get money. Her mom said something about hiring me to babysit  Vanessa and her little brother the weekend after Valentine's Day. I  don't mind the idea and I'd be happy to (obviously for a fee). I like  both Vanessa and her little brother enough to watch them and keep him  entertained. Today  might not be close to over but I don't think anything major will happen  in these next few hours. Tomorrow is the first day of second semester  meaning that I have survived half of my junior year. But this second  semester is going to be full of stress since there is SAT and ACT (which  I'm taking a prep class for) and the musical and just finishing the  year as strong as I started since I want to be exempt from as many  finals as possible. Those are some lofty goals but I think I can get  there. I'm  still feeling kinda down since all of my friends seem to be super busy  so I can't even talk to them. Or maybe they just don't want to talk to  me. I fell a bit better after talking to Mara. We're planning on maybe  going to the mall Saturday with my other friends if they can which also  makes me feel better. I just hope that it works out. I don't have much to say and the rest of today probably won't be very eventful. Goodnight people!01/17/17Hey  people! Today was pretty good. It was the first day of the semester so  now I have a study hall when I used to have creative writing. It's kind  of sad, but I know that this study hall will help me but less stressed.  Tomorrow I'll have two study halls which sounds very nice too and will  definitely help me finish homework. I  didn't have much homework which was nice so I had time for me and  Taekwondo. At Taekwondo I had fun practicing and just working with  everyone. There's not much else for today and it's basically over, so goodnight people!01/18/17Hey  people! Today was a pretty good day except I started my period. It's  okay though it usually doesn't actually make me more emotional except  for the days leading up to it so yeah. Not much happened today though. I  was glad to get home and have so,e time for me and I spent some time  with my dad too. I'm feeling pretty bleh today and not much happened so goodnight people!01/19/17Hey  people! Today was pretty nice. None of my classes were very hard today  so it wasn't a very stressful day. I had poetry club after school which  was pretty fun. We were talking about our competition and who is doing  what and I volunteered to be in the group. I wanted to be in the group  anyways, but I wasn't sure if I would be picked for it. Now I am, and  I'm excited to figure the group piece out and go to poetry tomorrow. I  went home and decided to skip Taekwondo because I was feeling pretty  tired. Plus I might have been late since I didn't have much time  between. Not much else will happen today. Goodnight people!01/20/17Hey  people! Today was pretty good, except for US History. My teacher put on  the inauguration during class. Instead of listening and watching what  he said, I put in my headphones and listened to Hamilton. It was much  better than any inaugural speech. Plus my teacher didn't notice or  didn't get mad at me. He was on his phone so he didn't seem very caring  about it either. The  rest of my day was good, not much homework and I had poetry club today.  It was pretty nice even though our poetry sponsor was sick it was still  nice to listen to poetry. Plus I like all the people there. I'm  excited that tomorrow I'll be going to the mall with my friends. As  we've been scheduling and figuring everything out via group chat, Samm  decided to leave the group and change the name of it. I've tried calling  her three times. She said she couldn't come and whenever she can't hang  out with us she gets depressed and thinks we're all going to be closer  and leave her. I love her so much but I want to be able to have fun  without feeling guilty that someone can't go. Mara hasn't been able to  go to a bunch of stuff but she doesn't think that we're going to stop  being her friends just because she can't go to something. I'm not trying  to slam Samm but I feel frustrated that she won't answer me and that  she doesn't see how amazing she is. I want her to be okay and happy  because she is wonderful. I get being sad that you can't hang out with  friends. And yeah we probably shouldn't have talked about it in that  group chat but she didn't answer either way if she could go or not. Even  though today isn't over I don't think I'll say anything else and  nothing else will probably happen today so goodnight people!01/21/17Hey  people! I'm not really on the mood for writing so this will be pretty  brief. I went to Taekwondo today which was fun even though there weren't  many people there. Most of the students were at the tournament so it  was a pretty chill day. After  that I went to a mall with some of my friends, sadly Samm couldn't  come. I wish she could have especially since she's been feeling down  lately. Either way she's still one of my best friends. Mara was going to  meet me, Ashley and Splash but she got a migraine so she couldn't. It  was just me Ashely and Splash which was still pretty fun. Except that I  kinda threw a tantrum but I didn't ignore it or anything and apologized.  Let's just say I hate everything being about me. We went to a couple  different stores and then ate dinner at a nice restaurant which was  pretty fun and nice. I drove them home and then went home  myself. I realized when I did get home that I probably shouldn't have  gone out because I felt really sick. I still feel sick so I'm probably  going to read some of the book I bought and go to sleep. Goodnight  people!
