1. Be considerate. You don't have to be nice but please please be considerate. You're not the only person on the earth. The earth does not revolve around you. Being considerate is simple courtesy, which everyone should practice because we do not live alone, we need human interaction because man is inherently a social being. Be considerate and aware of your surroundings and that will take you a long way.
2. Do NOT label yourself. Labeling yourself is like limiting yourself. If you yourself believe that you are just a certain someone, you stop yourself from being someone greater. If you do not label yourself, you are able to be flexible and create a network of good things so that you can achieve the BEST you!
3. Have a purpose in life. It is hard have a life if you don't have a purpose for living. That's merely existing. It can be for anything. It can be for your family or your special someone or your passion. Someone appreciates you, they may have a weird way of showing it but they do. Having a purpose is like a goal you have to work on to achieve so that you're not stagnant in life, that's never healthy. You have to keep moving, it'll be one hell of a ride.
4.Think positive. SORRY if you're naturally a pessimist but dude, positivity will make the burden on your shoulders way lighter. The law of attraction states that, if you can perceive, you can achieve! Happy thoughts will bring about happiness and bad thoughts will bring about bad. No one needs more bad in their lives(maybe a badass nerd cool boyfriend! :P). I can personally attest to this tip because even if I have a hard time, I just keep on thinking that it will get better. I always get by and I always find a reason to smile :D. (Sorry optimistic side is very much evident here)
5.LOVE. Love who you are. Love the people around you. Love what you do. Love the world you live in. Love what you believe in. Love those who love you. Love being able to help people. Love with your mind body and soul.

Wattpad Book Review: Becoming Beautiful by istolethecookiez
As mentioned above, I am a bookworm and sometimes, that can be a problem. I always have to be reading a book, a real book, an e-book, a Wattpad book,a fanfiction.net book, anything that I can get my hands on. Right now I'm reading an e-book and tons of Wattpad books but this book in particular, can push all my feeling buttons. You guys should read it!
First of all, it is written very well. I always appreciate that because one of the major drawbacks of Wattpad books is that sometimes the writers are very talented but their grammar and word choice could be improved. istolethecookiez writes very well and the plot development is just right, not too fast or too slow. I thought the story line was very predictable but I changed my mind because some of the things that had happened in the book have come unexpected and honestly, those parts are the best parts.
It's very realistic, and I think that is one of the things that makes me cry the most because those things really happen and it reminds me that in life we don't always get our way or go the way we plan it to go. The characters are very diverse and each remarkable in their own ways. I can't even begin. Noah and Kenna=Koah=OTP! Kenna's a very normal girl, a bit nerdy and musically inclined but a loner, until she meets the bubbly,extroverted Marissa who just happens to be Noah's stepsister. Noah's a cool loner,untouchable because of Marissa and he just gave off a vibe that you didn't wanna mess with him(basically, non-conformist), but he's also smart and nerdy and musically inclined. I also love Floyd, by the way. :D! They all make this story go round and it's just such a roller coaster ride of a story.
I have no bad opinion about it(well expect that I hate that it's almost done and she knows people love her story and the anticipation of a new update just drives me crazy!). It's worthy of being published! istolethecookiez, I really really admire you! You're talented and so young and will get so much better! I'm older than you but whatever, you rock! Keep writing!

Senioritis....
I dunno if this part of senioritis but these days I just like to think and it's not just about the future... But everything I've been through. It made me feel old but a tad bit accomplished. Sometimes, I catch my self just staring blankly into space, looking like I'm having the time of my life in the clouds. Other times though, I feel so stressed and stretch to my limit any attempt to make any contact with me will cause a breakdown. It's weird that I'm turning 17 in a month and I compare myself to other people from other countries who had been working since they were 16 and I have no job experience whatsoever. I feel very inexperienced about life in general. I kinda feel a pressure that I have to get out of my comfort zone and be carefree for a day...(Mind you, I said care free... not careless). I shall relay to you the reasons why I feel so inexperienced: 1. I do not know how to drive yet.(I'm trying to learn though... My dad's teaching me) 2. I have yet to get drunk(I don't think I ever want to be drunk... I do NOT want to go through that awful hangover everyone complains about the morning after). 3. Lip virgin(hehe came close to losing it though) and Virgin virgin(I plan to stay this way till I get married though). There's a whole lot of things I have yet to try out but right now I just wanna write and I want to be able to rant and maybe find people with the same sentiments. I'm just so excited to graduate and go to university and experience the new environment it has to offer.I know it's going to be hard and that my year is going to be damn hectic and epic. I feel the buzz of the senioritis already. I'm ready to take you on though. I just finished writing a kick ass essay on the question, "What experiences/decisions have helped shaped your life to become what it is today?" Yeah that kind of thing. (that wasn't the exact question but that was the gist of it and once I got writing, couldn't stop. A thousand words(well I had to edit to make it fit into a thousand words)just kept me typing and making it one of the best pieces I have ever made. It's kinda official though so I can't post it. I may be able to but by October. Batch 2015, It's our last year....( bursts into the HSM song about Senior Year). hahaha Keep smiling and work your way to the top!!! xx
PS: Sorry I just write straight and don't make paragraphs.... It's just the way I am sometimes... :D
