When Newcome assigned us all to "reflect" upon our high school career in a positive way, I laughed. High school hasn't been the greatest for me, and i honestly believe that those people out there that say high school was the greatest years of their lives, are totally pathetic.
I guess the only reall good thing i got out of high school are life lessons i learn myself, not those that were taught. I learned tolerance, aaannnddd when to cave in and quit due to the stresses of tolerance (Basketball). I've learned not to judge a book by it's creep cover, it may just turn out to be the love of your life (Brian). Iv'e learned that girls are nasty, cruel, mean people who know where to hit you hard, but that when you find one that isn't, you hold them tight (Tia). I've learned that teachers were once BA's themselves (Newcome and Evans). I've learned that some adults just never grow out of their high school ways (LINDA!!!!!). I've learned that when senioritis hits, it hits HARD (now :-) ). Iv'e learned that to take up for your sister to girls that tear her down, may just be the greatest thing an older sibling can ever do for their little sibling. I've learned that working everyday, as well as attending school everyday, equals no social life, and actually causes more stress.
School really hasnt taught me too much, its more so the setting that teaches the lessons you will forever use. Be yourself, and don't care what other people think. Be your own person.

J Maddy!!!
James Madison. 'Nuff said.
But no, seriously, James Madison is ridiculous. I know every incoming student says their school is the best, blah blah blah, but I'm serious. James Madison has been ranked #5 in the nation for "best campus food" by the princeton review, and i can totally attest for that, omg it's amazing, #17 on Playboy's hottest college girls, and #14 for "Most beer". I know it sounds like a huge party school now. and yes, its a massive party school. But seriously, they're accademics are amazing too. A degree from JMU looks really nice.
I've completed all my incoming freshman steps, the housing contract, the e-mail set up, the orientation date, the meal plan, and the selection of classes. I'm so excited. I'm pretty nervous about who I'll be roomed with, it better be someone cool. thats all i have to say about that. I want to be able to go out to parties with my roomate, share clothes, stay up late and be girls. She needs to be cool with visitors, brian is coming, as well as a bunch of my girl frineds and whatnot. If I end up not liking my roomate, and neither does Morgan, we're rooming together. the housing contract asked me if i wanted to sign up for housing my second year alos, lets get through the first year first.
Im planning on rushing, maybe pledging, we'll see about all that.
School should be so much fun, I'm going in with a couple close frineds as it is, so i wont be totally hopeless. Morgan is going also, woo hoo! as well as Ben baker transfered to JMU, woo hoo! Brooke Lobuts, Taylor Zimmerman, Michael Saintcross, and Madeline from work are also going to be on campus.
I just cant wait for the year to eeeennnndddd!!!!!

The Love of My Life <3
So I know Newcome wants to hear allllll about me and Brian's relationship. But it's actually a pretty funny story how we met. It's not one of those sappy love story: "We literally ran into each other, I fell, He helped me up and we locked eyes, love at first sight." Yeah, not Brian Orye.
I was in my junior year, I played Varsity basketball. Every practice, the wrestlers walk through the gym to the boys locker room, of course they're a distraction, not because they're good looking, but because the basketball coaches were the pits and we'd take any distraction to pass the minutes away till practice was over.
Everyday we'd see the wrestlers. Everyday this goofy kid with knobby knees and a crooked smile, would walk through the gym, lingering, like some goofy creep. Christmas break was full of long, hard practices for the Tournment games. During one of the practices, Shelby and I sat together while I braced my ankles. The goofy kid comes in, apparently knows Shelby, and stops to chat with her before practice. The entire time Shelby is talking with this kid, he's akwardly looking at me. I've never seen this kid in my life, but he's kinds weird, and why does he keep looking at me?! Finally after an hour long of lingering, unnecessay trips in and out of the gym during practice, and awkward eye contact, he leaves. Only to reappear at McDonald's after practice, the usual girl's varsity basketball hang out after games and practices. Great. Again, this goofball creeper is constantly catching my eye. what is this kid's deal?!
As the girls are walking out to our cars, Shelby pulls me aside, "Brian says your really pretty and he thinks your cool and asked me for your number". Seriously? Double Great. "Did you give it to him?". "Yeah, that's ohkay right? he's a totally good guy." Great great great great.
Within three hours Brian txts me. "Hey, it's Brian, from McDonald's, what up?", I don't respond. I call Shelby and yell at her for giving my number out to such a creepy goofball of a dude. We have a long conversation about how all the guys I have been recently seeing, are jerks, ecspecially the last (For class purposes, we won't go with any names). She explains how he's such a nice, funny, amazing guy once you get to know him, he's just weird and obnoxious on the outside. I told her that for her sake, I would just txt him, no dates promised, nothing of the sort, just to be nice, I'd txt him. He turned out to be quite the txter, he would spit lines at me, totally trying to hard, but in a cute way. But I still saw him nothing more than a nice guy i'd txt.
One night, Tia and I were driving around town in Frederick, the mall, Best Buy, all sorts of places. Brian txted me asking what I was up to, I told him Tia and I were in Best Buy. Nearly 5 minutes later, He's walking through the Best Buy doors. "Oh crap, Tia! Run! Hide! That creeper dude showed up!". Needless to say, he found us. We awkwardly stood around, nervously chit chating about nothing of value. Brian picks up the SingStar kareokee microphone and gives Tia the other, sing with me. hesitantly, she begins to sing, Brian takes the lead and belts out the lyrics, "You're Beautiful! You're beautiful! You're beautiful, it's true!", while everyone in the store turns to stare at who the insane idiot screaming Daniel Powter is. Completely embarrassing.
Best Buy announces that they are shutting down for the night, we decide to hop over to Taco Bell for food. Yum. Brian follows. We sit in the parking lot, talking for hours. Finally we leave to go home. "He's still a creeper, following us around like that", I tell Tia. He txts me, asking me out on a date, a real date, like dinner and a movie date. I tell him I'll get back to him, intending to never get back to him. I fill Shelby in with everything that has happened with this odd boy. Shelby forces me to accept his offer and go out. We set the date. Two days later I find out that the day Brian and I set our date for, is the night that my parents are going up to Carlise, PA to visit their good friends Sue and Joe from the lake, my ex-boyfriend Matt's parents. They offer for me to go to visit Matt for the Christmas party. I told my mom I had a date with Brian, she urged me to go on the date, I cancelled and called Matty to tell him I was coming to visit. I felt bad for cancelling on Brian, he's a nice guy, but it's Matty.
Visiting Matthew was terrible. We flirted, then fought, then flirted, then fought. Typical Matthew. I called Brian to reschedule our date in total anger at Matt. We set the date for the next night. As that Friday night came around, I took 3 hours to get ready, I usually only take 30 minutes. I for some odd reason, was a little nervous.
Brian took me to Applebees, the movies to see National Treasure 2, and out to Starbucks after. The entire night was amazing, he said all the right things, and acting exactly how a gentleman should act. He was adorable. When he walked me to my steps, he kissed me good night. The moment our lips touched, it felt so right. We continued to see eachother for two weeks longer, hanging out, going out to eat, watching movies. He was perfect. Finally, we had the conversation, "I'm really starting to fall for you", we confessed that we really liked each other alot and decided to start dating, to see if we could amount to anything. Personally, I thought we'd last maybe two weeks. I'm such a serious person, while he doesn't take anything seriously. Which is why, in my opinion, I believe we worked out so well.
Here we are, a year and a half later, going strong, and still very much in love. I like to say that Brian has brought out a better person in me, he's taught me to not be so serious, go with the flow, and live everyday like it may be your last, to never regret anyhting you do- learn from your mistakes, and to live the age I'm in, not in my futre. I'm 18, act like it. I also like to think that I've rubbed off on Brian as well, he has a better plan for the future, his head on straight, and knows when to buckledown and takes things seriously, while still being the genuine Brian Orye.
I learned a great deal from my experiences with Brian: never judge a book by it's cover. I thought Brian was the creepist goofball I had ever met, now he's the love of my life. <3

Advise for Next Year...
Continuing in our Senioritis, graduation, college rant, I've decided give a little advise to those less fortunate and having to serve yet another, torturous year in high school.
For those of you that will still be stuck in this progressively worse High school crap hole, having NO IDEA where to look at for schools next year, get a move on, NOW! I defiantly recommend applying ALL early action, you're not binded to the schools you apply early action to, you just get all your applications and whatnot filled out and turned in early, so they notify you of acceptance earlier than regular decision kids. Early action does not affect your chances of getting in, if you don't make the cut for acceptance early action, they add you to the regular decision applicants and look over you again and just notify you the regular time. Benefits of early action?- Obviously early notification of early acceptance, but also priority scholarship consideration, plus you have more time to weigh your choices and get that scholarship money! speaking of scholarship money- if you are white (male or female), christian, your parents are NOT in the US Military, and you are NOT disabled, and you are NOT considered need-based, you wont be getting any scholarships, even if you do, I can tell you they wont be very big AT ALL. like, not significant... what-so-ever. sorry, its just the way it goes. UNLESS you apply to VERY SMALL schools... or WVU. ha ha.
Get your SAT's done early, you SHOULD HAVE already taken it like twice by now, if not, SIGN UP FOR JUNE!!! they dont offer SATs over the summer, so squeeze one more in the fall. Take an average of 3 SATs, thats the best bet.
Get your letters of Recommendation done early also, you may not need them for the school your apply to, you usually only need one for that, but scholarships usually ask for like, two or sometimes even three.
Dont really foucus on college application essays, I didnt have ANY! wooo hooo! However, for Penn State and James Madison, I was given the opportunity to give a personal statement, its totally optional, but i totally recommend doing it. I based mine on my campus visits.
Speaking of visits, VISIT the school before making a decision! I totally cant stress that enough! I was SO set on Coastal Carolina at the point of last year. I visited the school the weekend of my birthday, I even stayed on campus with a friend, it was SO not what I was looking for in a place Im going to be spending four years of my life (I dont really plan on transfering, Iwas looking for a place to spend all four years). It was like FCC at the beach, which isnt bad, FCC isnt bad, totally easy, and I LOVE the beach, but the gym that they play their college basketball games was the same size as BHS, as well as the football "stadium", I hated it. I wanted to get AWAY from BHS, not transfer to another one.
Visiting the campus is my best advice I could give, honestly, thats when you KNOW what school to chose. I took two steps onto JAmes Madison's campus and fell totally head over heels, it was everything I wanted in a school, smaller class sizes, actually college football stadium, not too shabby dorms, BEST FOOD EVER! (number 5 in the nation suckaaassss!), free student gym that is WILD! open 24/7, very active student groups, sororities out the ying-yang, friendly students, awesome party scene, allthe majors i could possibly see myself in. the moment i stepped on campus I knew i was home. I knew JMU was where i wanted to spend the next5, or 6 years of my life. I cant stress it enough. VISIT THE CAMPUS!
Good luck next year yall!
And if anyone is considering JMU, you can totally stay with me for a night or a weekend or something, I'll show you around no problem, just let me know!!!

Baaaaadddd Case of Senioritis :-/
I'm taking a break from the normal 90's memorabilia this week to discuss life in today's time... My life now.
As the year thins outs, we're down to the last month, I'm enrolled at James Madison (Now thats a whhhooolllee different blog), I've been making summer plans, graduation is so close, I find myslef looking back on my high school years.
I wished away the four years spent at Brunswick High, I had that itch to graduate, that itch to be done with everyone here, move on, met all new people. I look back on all the years I played Basketball, from the freshman team with Melissa (who constantly had team dinner parties at her house only to bad mouth Gayleen :-)), to JV with Spezio (who totally took us bowling on a rainy day that our game got cancelled), toVarsity with Gayleen (who I really can't say a good thing about.. OH! she yelled at me for being upset when my boyfriend totalled his first car and i wanted to stay to make sure he was alright... wait... thats not good either...)... I'll never play sports on a team again, not a real traveling team...
I look back on the Homecomings all through out the years- Freshman year with Ronnie Musselman, Sophmore with Adam Cordell, Junior with Tia, Senior with Brian... I look back on last years prom with Brian... I'll never have those dances again...
I look back on Pep Rallys- I attended every year...
I look back on walking into school, everyday, to see all the faces of people i have known since the fourth grade, others, since the sixth... I'll never see those faces again, not nearly as much as I do now, if ever...
So now is the time I tell everyone "Oh, I wish I hadn't wished my years away so quickly, I would've stayed to enjoy the innocence and lack of responsibilities I will soon have", but lets face it, I won't miss a darn thing about the crap hole.
When we all think back to the freshman version of me, we tend to remember that even then, I had the infamous senioritis, I grew up with Brianne Walters and continued to stay close friends through her high school years, my best best best friend was Peter Jeffery, (both were seniors), I was dating a Junior, I already hated school. I was that kid who had senioritis the sencond day of freshman year, so it's no suprise that senior year, I was voted "Most likely to catch senioritis".
Yeah, when I look back on everything I mentioned before, I also notice that freshman year was blissful. Basketball was awesome, Homecoming was ridiculous, PLEASE tell me everyone remembers Ashley Sullivan-Wolfe dancing with Eric Zwilsky while he fed her melted M&Ms from his chocolate stained pants, Pep Rally was loud, Fun, and exciting (Batteries were even thrown as people I knew!), and everyone was not neccessarily drama-free, but not half as much filled as they are now.
But I start to notice a pattern, every year, school got progressively worse. And im not saying this because I want to get out of here, But seriously! I cant find a single GOOD thing about basketball Junior year, so I gave up six years of Basketball because I throughly HATED it, no thnks to the coach. UGH! she seriously turn SO many girls against Basketball, no shes doing the same thing to my little sister. Homecoming was SO terrible, we left early! the lights were turned on and the music stopped, seriously? my sister said the middle school dances were better. Prom last year was so terrible, Im not even gogin this year, Chili Cook-off here I come!!! Pep rally was the pits. I wanted to leave early, but felt bad that i wasn't going to be there to be announced for our superlatives, which was laaaaame. and the bright, shiny faces? I dont even like 50% of our class, nor do i even KNOW 25%. Im not feeling too bad that I'll never see thiese people again, thats the phrase I kept running through my hear last year, I can honestly say it got me through high school.
So no, I'm not going to miss high school. I feel that my senior year has been robbed, much like the 8th grade feild trip to Sandy Point... This was nothing like I ever imagined it would be. I NEVER in a million years, thought I would skip out on my senior prom. But I can honestly say that I'm not going to regret it... not one bit. It's sad when my freshman sister, is seriously considering transfering to Middletown, because Brunswick's school system is so corrupt and total dream killers, dont we have a whle life time to have our dreams killed? why start now?

I NEVER in a million years, thought I would skip out on my senior prom. But I can honestly say that I'm not going to regret it... not one bit. It's sad when my freshman sister, is seriously considering transfering to Middletown, because Brunswick's school system is so corrupt and total dream killers, dont we have a whle life time to have our dreams killed? why start now?
