Happy New Year, everyone! 
          	
          	I just want to take a moment to thank all of you and wish you the happiest New Year.
          	
          	No matter where you are in the world—or what time it is for you—I hope this new year brings you warmth, peace, and moments that make you smile. 
          	Even if this past year was hard (and for many of us, it really was), I hope you can look back and be proud of yourself for making it through.
          	
          	Sometimes we don’t realize how strong we are until we’re already on the other side of things. Even when it feels like we haven’t accomplished much, simply surviving and continuing forward is something worth celebrating.
          	
          	I’m truly grateful for everyone I’ve met on this app. The support, kindness, and creativity I’ve seen here mean more to me than I can properly put into words. 
          	
          	You all have become such an important part of my life, and I’m thankful for every comment, every message, and every bit of encouragement.
          	
          	
          	So here’s to a new year, new beginnings, and hopefully many good moments ahead.
          	
          	Happy New Year!

So I’m just going to rant here randomly since no one knows me irl.
          
          So my school just made new rules regarding the use of phones and any personal devices. This is going to be put in place due to a new law being passed in my state that bans any and all forms of personal devices in school from k-12 (including pagers!?!).
          
          So this law allows the school to place their own rules and punishment for the students who violate the new phone ban. 
          
          And while I agree with the idea that we shouldn’t be using our phones during class time as it’s not only impacting our ability to understand our school work but banning phones during our LUNCH seems a little bit excessive…
          
          My school has a 50 minute lunch, and this will be our only break during the whole school day, we used to have personalization but they recently took it away. 
          
          Oh and my school also banned headphones, like at least let us hear music… 
          
          This is what they have banned -
          Cell phones, smartwatches, earbuds, tablets, and other personal devices
          Texting, messaging, social media, or electronic communication of any kind
          Devices must be off and stored securely—no exceptions
          
          And I haven’t even touched the punishment for the violation of the phone ban.
          
          First Violation
          
          Phone confiscated
          You can pick it up after school
          Parent contacted
          2-hour Saturday detention
           
          There’s more of course but I don’t want to go on for too long…
