Hi!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We know, We know</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've been majorly MIA</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Senior year stuff kicked us both in the butt--stressful college decisions and tying up loose ends left us without a second of free time but we're done!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
12 years of public schooling are behind us...it's so weird to think about...but both of us are ready for the change ahead of us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That brings us to a very important announcement:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
WE'RE GOING TO COLLEGE!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anastasia will be attending the University of Maryland, College Park this fall (Go Terps!) while Hannah will be attending the University of South Carolina, Columbia (Go Cocks!). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even though we'll be very far apart (about 9 hours), we plan to keep in touch and continue running this little gem of a blog we've created. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because we haven't been posting at all, really, we thought we would post a recap of our senior year (still can't believe it's over):</div>

Way back in February our school's marching band rode a bus down south for 16 hours. We were Disney bound. With only three day in the park, we hoped to make the most of our senior trip with our band-mates. As the end of the year, and the end our our high school career, approaches we knew this trip would be a pinnacle experience. Just like many others, I grew up listening to Disney music from all the fantastic films. Disney means more to me now than it did when I was younger; Everyone knows a Disney song can brighten any rough day. Moreover, we were all thrilled to miss a day of school, escape the cold weather, and enjoy some momentary freedom. Obviously, I couldn't capture every moment and place we visited, but here are a few highlights from our trip to Universal Studios, Disney World, and Epcot! </div>

<div style="position: relative; text-align: center;">
This summer, all of my friends seemed to be acquiring small backpacks that made carrying necessities much easier, and I loved the idea. Purses are not my jam...they're annoying to keep on my shoulder and lug around, but a backpack is small and compact and fits nicely on your back so that you can be hands-free. </div>
<div style="position: relative;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
These friends coined the term "adventure pack" to describe the bags' functionality when it came to, well, going on adventures!</div>

I actually have #1 in a bright turquoise rather than a hot pink, and I love it. It's big enough to fit anything I might need, but looks a lot smaller than it is. If you're looking for a bigger backpack, 3,5, and 6 may do the trick. They're not adventure packs so much as they're bags you could use as overnight bags or book bags. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which do you prefer: backpacks or purses?</div>

Ah, who doesn't love old trends making a comeback? Iridescent prints are being revived from the 90's and I'm totally on board with this trend. The print is chic, sleek, with a touch of futuristic. Holographic items are practical because of their versatility but add just the right amount of fun and pizzazz to any outfit. These are just a few everyday staples that are sure to catch some eyes because of their iridescent shine. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><img height="488" src="https://www.kaamranhafeez.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/2243.jpg" width="640" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.kaamranhafeez.com/product/new-years-resolution-lose-thirty-eight-thousand-pounds-new-yorker-cartoon/">via</a> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> We're about a month into the new year, 2016, and chances are you've already given up all your New Year's Resolutions. Spending the last week of December 2015 writing down some embarrassingly unrealistic goals (including exercising more, </span>losing weight, <span style="font-family: inherit;">finishing those books by your bedside, or learning ~something new~) was a futile attempt at promising yourself </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">this year will be different. </i><span style="font-family: inherit;">And now here we are, all of us feeling like inept failures. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> But don't worry, you are not inept, or a failure. New Year's Resolutions are awful. They force us to criticize and change ourselves </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">and </i><span style="font-family: inherit;">our lifestyles. I detest the phrase "New Year, New You." Instead of focusing on upsetting our entire way of life, we should celebrate another year of growth and memories, both of which have added to our individual identities.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> If you are among those who have abandoned your Resolutions, you are not alone, not even in the slightest. <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15.6px;">University of Scranton found that only <a href="http://www.statisticbrain.com/new-years-resolution-statistics/">8 percent</a> of people are successful in achieving their goals. That means that an overwhelming majority, 92 percent, fail. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 15.6px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 15.6px;"> January 1st is not the end-all-be-all for changing your life. The goals we set at the beginning of the year do not account for anything the new year has in store for us. New Year's Resolutions are dangerously distant. Obviously some goals are supposed to be long-term, such as going to college, but that steps that you need to get to that point are short-term. Changes take place day-by-day, constantly, and in the present. Do not be discouraged if you haven't completed the remarkably (and probably purposefully) vague goal of losing weight. Implementing a <i>plan, </i>such as making a weekly work-out schedule, is a much more effective way to make daily progress towards achieving a broader goal. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 15.6px;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 15.6px;"> If you've given up, at least for now, don't make excuses or blame yourself. It just sort of happens. And instead of directing your attention on whether or not you've executed or failed a Resolution, relish the moments that are unplanned. Savor the moments where you feel exhilarated and learn from the adversity that you've made it through. These are the true achievements that define us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 15.6px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 15.6px;"> Forget the stupid commercials and pop culture pressure to magically transform your life. I certainly don't want one day, Janurary 1st, dictating how I am going to be spending the remainder of my year. Many things we will accomplish throughout this year will most likely be either unplanned or outcomes of small efforts we've made year-round. So throw away your irrelevant list of New Year's Resolutions (if you haven't lost it already) and simply strive to be the best person you can be everyday, every year. </span></span><br />

Classical music has a bad rep.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Most people find it boring and prefer pop or something they can sing along to</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1)It's not boring, it's just long</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2)I have definitely sung along to classical music before...just sayin</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I find that while doing homework, I can only listen to classical--lyrics distract me. It's calming, it's inspiring, it's timeless. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You may be someone who swears they hate classical music, but I've compiled at least 5 pieces that I think everyone should at least try:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

If you noticed, the background picture from this is from <i>Fantasia</i>, and that's where I heard this for the first time. For most of my childhood, I knew this as the "Pegasus song from <i>Fantasia</i>". The 2 <i>Fantasia</i> movies are where I was first exposed to classical music--if you find yourself unable to just listen to a 30 minute song, I definitely suggest watching them. Because there's something to look at, a story is being told, the viewer is more engaged and less likely to be bored. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, this is a masterpiece. It truly does evoke images of a field or a meadow. It's beautiful and lyrical and I just really love listening to it. </div>

You will 100% recognize at least one of these. Popularized sometime in the 1950s, this 4-movement work tells a story of 2 violent and extreme seasons, and 2 seasons of serenity and frivolity. I've now seen this live twice, and I really do love it. The concert master at the BSO (the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra) truly does the solos justice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a great piece to listen to if you're really new to classical music because you'll know the tune of at least one of the seasons and knowing the tune makes it much easier to stomach.</div>

This is the first classical piece that I truly got into.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few years ago, my parents dragged my brother and I to the BSO to see satellite images of each of the planets accompanying their respective movements. It was fantastic and I found myself really getting into the piece, especially the Mars and Jupiter movements. Mars is very Star Wars-y, see if you can identify what the Imperial March echoes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today, it's definitely one of my favorite pieces.</div>

Another piece I was exposed to via <i>Fantasia</i>, I had forgotten about it until we sight-read an arrangement of the 4th movement last year in Wind Ensemble and I was like "Oh my gosh! This is the flying whale song!!!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For any of you who have seen <i>Fantasia 2000</i>, you know exactly what I'm talking about. If not, you probably think I'm insane but that's ok.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's quite a majestic piece, but I would suggest the 1st and 4th movements...the 2nd and 3rd movements are very very slow and quiet and I prefer the faster moving portions, but this piece has something for everybody.</div>

Another piece I saw live before I really appreciated it, this symphony took me a while to get into, but I'm glad I did. It's truly majestic and you can totally feel the "from the new world" vibe. This has become one of my favorite symphonies and my dad, someone I consider to be more of a classical connoisseur than myself, also placed this in his top 5 most important classical pieces list.</div>

Two quick things:<br />
1) Apologies for the nasty looking sky...we were t-minus 2 hours from winter storm Jonas<br />
2)These tights are amazing. They're literally like leggings and tights had a baby. They're warm and comfortable and if you don't have a pair, try to go scoop one up (they were a Christmas gift to me, but I believe they're from Marshall's).<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">That moment when a souvenir you’ve been collecting for the past 9 or 10 years has suddenly become a huge trend.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I’ve been collecting patches from the various places my family and I have visited over the years and finally decided to display them by applying them to a sweatshirt.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />But then I discovered these adorable and sassy patches.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /> *gasps*<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /> *swoons*<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />For those of you who have noticed (and jumped onto) the pin/button/flair bandwagon, you’ll love patches. They’re like temporary tattoos for your clothes!! The best part is that most of the shops that sell flair also sell patches. <a href="http://valleycruisepress.com/collections/patches" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Valley Cruise Press</a>, <a href="http://explorerspress.com/collections/patches" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Explorer’s Press</a>, <a href="http://kuru731.storenvy.com/" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Janet Sung Art</a>, <a href="http://www.rosehoundapparel.com/collections/all" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Rosehound Apparel</a>, and <a href="http://shoptuesday.com/" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Tuesday Bassen</a> are just a few of my favorite online shops that provide the most darling (and witty) patches. The best part? They’re usually pretty affordable ($5 or $6). Sometimes they can get pricey, but they’re usually not too bad.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />My next project will be to figure out how to combine my pastel and my more Technicolor patches. I’m currently envisioning a very 1980s denim jacket with patches and pins cluttering the front and back. Other fabulous ideas include adding single patches to the back pocket of jeans, emblazoning the chest of a shirt with an emblem of choice (I’m thinking of putting my selfie patch on a black blouse), or if you’re not ready to self-edit your clothes, throw a few patches onto a backpack.</span></div>

For those of you who are a little more on the crafty side, you can make your own patches by embroidering onto embroidery canvas.<br />
My friend, Jackie, made these and made them at our school's Art Market...of course I bought some!!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;">For my Vanderbilt and Yale applications, I chose to write a short supplemental essay about this website and how passionate I am about keeping it alive. I thought I would share it here to talk about the journey that has led to the blog you know today as well as express just how proud I am of this website and why I continue to blog. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;">xoxo</span></span><br />
Hannah<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16.8pt;">*****</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.8pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;">Ten 12-year-olds sat on top of
their sleeping bags, wide awake despite the ungodly hour. Our host’s parents
had come downstairs 3 times now, telling us to go to bed, but keeping our
voices hushed proved harder than expected: we were excited.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.8pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;">Instead of playing a menagerie of card and board games like we
normally did, we had decided to make our own virtual magazine. Our mission was
to provide advice, quizzes and games, and style tips, from middle schoolers to
middle schoolers.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.8pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;">The first edition of “(In) Parenthesis” was published about a
month later and we were immensely proud of it: no one else our age (that we
knew of) had attempted something like this. Alas, our editor couldn’t handle
compiling 20 articles between homework and band practice. The first edition of
“(In) Parenthesis” was also its last.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.8pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;">The fashion and interior design sections splintered off and
started our own magazine, similar to (In) Parenthesis, but focused solely on
style. This too fizzled after a few months, but writing about my style and
reflecting on my daily life was something I came to truly enjoy and I wasn’t
about to give up on something I had come to be so passionate about. Thus,
“Twirl”, my blog, was born. It got, maybe, a view or two a day, but that didn’t
deter me. I wasn’t writing this blog for views or for popularity to begin with,
I was writing for the same reason I loved making those virtual magazines: my
work, my original content, was being published.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.8pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;">After asking my friend to co-write with me, we changed the name to
"Freckles and Olives", changed the appearance countless times, and
gradually improved our content quality--scrolling through our archive is like
watching us grow up. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.8pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We now get about 50 views a day instead of 1 or 2. This past
summer, we were invited to join the Her Campus Blogger Network. While we've
changed and the blog has changed, its purpose has remained the same: the blog
is my excuse to make time in my day for creativity. I love how writing for the
school newspaper challenges me and I love running the website for my school's
creative writing magazine, but there's nothing more rewarding than the pride
that comes from watching something that I've created grow and evolve. </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Needless to say, the installations were extraordinary. Nine contemporary artists have taken ordinary items and manipulated them into large-scale installations.<br />
<br />
The building was ridiculously crowded so I apologize for all of the other people in the photos. Even with the crowd, all the pieces were amazing and I highly recommend taking a visit if you have the opportunity. The exhibit is open how through July (although some installations will be closing in May) and you can find more information on the Renwick Gallery <a href="http://renwick.americanart.si.edu/">website</a>.<br />

I've also been liberated by my lack of homework (except college apps are sort of crushing that notion). Although my family and I don't take a vacation over winter break we do like to take some day trips to near-by places. Most of the trips are on a whim, so we don't always know where we'll end up. Last week we found ourselves in an adorable historic town that was filled with "old-timey" charm and that quaint vintage feel. Despite some newer ones, many of the houses and stores were brightly colored and filled with quirky items. After walking up and down the roadway we stopped for some dinner at a brewery. Needless to say my <i>Jagerschnitzel, </i>garlic mashed potatoes, and salted caramel cheesecake meal was delicious.<br />

My family and a few friends hunkered down for all 6 Star Wars movies in a row. It took 15 hours and I may or may not have fallen asleep a few times...but it was totally worth it. The story made a lot more sense and when we watched "The Force Awakens" the next day, I was able to pick up on a lot of subtle details that define it as a Star Wars movie (i.e. Powerpoint transitions, "I've got a bad feeling about this", some sort of cantina scene, etc). My ranking of the 7 movies from best to worst are "A New Hope" and "The Empire Strikes Back", "The Force Awakens", "Revenge of the Sith", "Return of the Jedi","The Phantom Menace" and "Attack of the Clones".</div>

I entered on a whim, not expecting to win--Anastasia and I needed a camera to take blog pictures with but the odds for these things are pretty slim. Much to my surprise, I won! It just goes to show you that you can't win the lottery if you don't enter (something my dad has been telling me in regards to college applications and admissions for a while).<br />

This fashion label has caught my eye. Their busy and geometric prints are unique and 100% my vibe. The prices are not. Nevertheless, I think one of their duvets or sheet sets would look amazing in a college dorm. *wink wink*</div>

I told myself I wouldn't jump on the Hamilton bandwagon, but I listened to this song out of curiosity and I died. IT'S SO GOOD. Honestly it's like the only song I like in the musical (don't kill me, Hamilton fans), but the women who play the sisters have <i>fantastic</i> voices and totally independent attitudes. I literally will listen to this song on repeat for hours and I'm not even ashamed to say it. </div>

Thanksgiving through New Year's Day is a time of reflection: being <a href="http://frecklesandolives.blogspot.com/2015/12/dear-readers.html">thankful</a> for what you have, taking time to <a href="http://frecklesandolives.blogspot.com/2015/12/mental-health-compliments.html">make someone's day</a>, and generally focusing on being your best self. Usually it means taking some time to review the year...where you were this time last year, the major and minor things that happened, the good and the bad.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time last year, I was still dating someone, in a lot of weird and kind of toxic friendships, and feeling extremely left out as all the pictures of my Marching Band friends in London trickled onto Facebook. Not to mention, junior year was somewhat hellish for me...I was having mini panic attacks about schoolwork and my general loneliness and not realizing what was wrong. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
By the spring, things were better. Most of my toxic friends had sort of faded away and the panic was slowing down, as were all of my AP classes. I didn't have a boyfriend anymore and the seniors were leaving--strangely a relief for me. The summer was good. I spent time with friends and family. I turned 17. I went to my last band camp. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The autumn was full of bittersweet lasts. I've gone on plenty of adventures with my friends and school has been much better, but the stress of college applications has brought on a new bought of anxiety, but I now have a solid support system to help me deal.. Everything is coming together, making me optimistic for this new year. This new year in which Anastasia and I will graduate from high school and start attending college. We're moving out this year!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's certainly going to be a year of change but I'm excited for it. What are you looking forward to in 2016?<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

Thrifting is a beautiful thing. Everything is much cheaper and completely unique. Occasionally there'll be a stain or something that requires a wash or two, but nothing beats having something old and with a story (I love trying to guess who owned the clothes before I did. The weirdest part is how I probably wear it completely differently).</div>

<b>Green Sweater//Levi's Cutoffs</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This sweater was originally purchased to be made into an ugly Christmas sweater. After one wear, I planned to donate it again. It sat in the "donate" pile for a year until I realized how amazing it was (super duper fuzzy, shoulder pads, big sleeves) and put it back in my closet. The shorts used to be jeans that I picked up for my Napoleon Dynamite Halloween costume a few years ago, then chopped into shorts. Gotta love mom shorts...</div>

I actually didn't find this at a goodwill, it used to be my mom's. Her grandmother embroidered it for her in the 70s and my brother and I used it as a dress-up fro years until we realized just how fantastic it was.

Someone once told me that this shirt had a bowling vibe in a good way and I can't help but agree. It goes with nearly everything and it's absurdly unique. I love it. The shorts are also absolutely my favorite shorts that I own. They aren't cutoffs so they generally fit better and are more comfortable. During the summer I live in these.</div>

<b>Crazy 80s Sweater</b></div>

I was doing some Instagram surfing when I saw an account called <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bumblervintage/">Bumbler Vintage</a> tagged.

After purchasing the aforementioned "crazy 80s sweater", this jacket was in the suggestions and I couldn't resist buying it either. It's pure perfection--shoulder pads, the best color combimnatopm I've ever seen. PLUS it's got triangles everywhere. It screams 80s and it screams Hannah. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you’re reading this, you’ve probably either neglected to get someone something or need something creative and heartfelt but don’t have an indefinite bank account. It is officially the eleventh hour in terms of gift shopping, but that’s ok…I’ve got your back:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.73;">This is my favorite thing to give someone. My friend Jessica gave me a jar full of folded stars with the sweetest messages written on the inside and because it put such a smile on my face, I’ve wanted to make a little container of specific-to-the-person compliments for everyone. It doesn’t take too much—just write your nice things on slips of paper and put them in an envelope. It’s a feel-good gift all around.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.73;">This one can be a little bit time consuming, but if you can doodle on a very basic level, this could be for you. Come up with a theme, and design 6 pages around it. Preferably something the intended gift recipient is particularly obsessed with and preferably given to someone who may appreciate the zine and not think it’s junk. For example, I would never give my 52-year-old father a zine for Christmas. Or my 15-year-old brother.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.73;">There’s nothing more personal than a poem specifically written for someone.

to write a gratitude letter to someone who had positively influenced our lives
and then reflect on the experience. I was astounded that we were getting a
project that was unrelated to economics--we were being graded on something that
would improve our mental health.<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
I still did it the night before, but I poured
thought into the letter to the drum major from my freshman year. She was also a
female trombonist and was instrumental in my involvement in the music program
(no pun intended). I looked up to her as a role model and she made me feel
welcome when I usually felt awkward and out of place. She was so surprised to
hear from me and it felt so good to thank her properly for everything she had
done for me, whether she realized what she was doing or not.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
Every day in economics, we write 3 good things
that happened to us in the last 24 hours. We take a few minutes out of class to
improve our mental health. I feel happier and the 3 good things every day
really put things in perspective--it's the little things that count. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
What really struck me about everything was that this
teacher and this class was the first time anyone had tried to improve my mental
health and my life in the entirety of my high school career. And that makes you
wonder...should we focus more on improving the mental health of teenagers in
school? Just some food for thought...<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
Anyways I thought that since this season is all about
reflection and gratitude, I would share some things that I'm grateful for, and
encourage you to do the same:<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="position: relative;">
As much as I hate to admit it, writing college application essays requires a lot of introspection. Many of the prompts have forced me to weigh my values and consider the world's most relevant problems. I'd also consider myself a thoughtful person, so I always try to write something that reaches my core beliefs. So when one prompt asked me what app I would create I was a bit taken aback. What hasn't been made already? What is useful for everyday life? I started to think about things that people typically overlook. There was one glaring topic: mental health. In the fast-paced environments we live in, it's easy to forget about our well-being. A positive attitude can really impact how we think, feel, and act. Mental wellness means a better quality of life, and that's something that all of us deserves.<br />
<br />
From there, I came up with an app that would give people little goals for the day, encourage healthy habits, and offer small reminders to promote wellness. But the feature that I knew I needed to include was a compliment generator. I know it sounds sort of silly, but it's important that we are reminded that we matter and that each of us has something special to offer the world. Compliments can instantly change your mood and someone else's. It's a win-win. I also believe that compliments should not be exclusive to physical appearance. Many people have much more to contribute to the world than just a cute top and perfect hair (although these things are great too! Yay body positivity!). Acknowledging someone as more than just how they look can monumentally improve how that person feels about who they are and how they think others perceive them. Take a couple seconds out of your day to share something you love about a person you know. Giving compliments is an easy habit to get into and a step in the right direction for mental wellness.<br />

This little book has officially made my week. I don't know where I'm going to use any of the stickers because, honestly, they're all too cute in my opinion. I just don't want to use them. </div>

My friend jackie started this fun underground craft club where we go after school and hang out and make pretty things and talk about our lives. This time, she brought in sheets of sticker paper for every one and we made our own stickers. I had so much fun making these and I think they're darling. If you want to make your own, you can find the sticker paper at michael's (it's literally just paper with an adhesive back) and draw whatever you want! I'll definitely be going back to pick up some more paper for myself.</div>

I hope you enjoyed exploring the diversity of each artist's work. Art is one of the few things that bring this world together, where we can all feel something universally, despite our differences, so I hope to share new artists as I continue to discover them. Are there any artists you think I should check out? </div>

The growing anticipation of starting yet other year of school has settled, and students are getting back into the daily grind. For some it's a new beginning and for other's it's another year in the confusing jungle called high school. But having been though the same halls for four year now, I've realized so many things that I wish I would've known/been told as a freshman, sophomore, and even junior. So I figured that I'd share my wisdom for those of who are still plowing through the last four years of primary education before stepping out into the "real world."<br />

Make the effort to surround yourself with a good group of people. Don't base your friend group around popularity- base it on how supportive and trustworthy they are. Hang around people who make you smile and are judgement free instead someone who makes you feel physically or emotionally drained. Your group of friends is a support network so make sure you're there for your friends as much as you want them to be there for you. Also, make sure you are comfortable being alone at times. You may need advice from a friend(s) at certain times but make sure you are able to rationalize and cope with certain aspects of school school on your own.<br />

You will be changing all through high school. Looking back, freshman year isn't <i>as </i>cringe-worthy as middle school but it's still bad. Be ready to make changes to your schedules so you have time for extracurricular activities and adjust habits to be more productive. If things just aren't working out for you try new strategies to see if they help (ex. different study techniques). As time goes on you should also be open to tailoring your personality to really become the person you want to be. It may seem a little confusing at times with so much on your plate, but it's important to be happy with <i>who you are. </i></div>

This one is quite simple: don't buy the fanciest and smallest backpack. Buy the one what will survive the flooded hallways, the "I'm throwing this three feet because I'm frustrated," and the 7 ton textbooks you will need to carry. These backpacks may be a little pricey (I have a North Face which was expensive) but they last at least all years in high school. Pro tip: get ones with a solid back and comfortable shoulder straps since it's better for your back. Another pro-tip: forget binders, use folders- they're a million times lighter, a lot cheaper, and let you organize your classes more easily since your teacher will forget to whole punch papers 80% of the time which is extremely frustrating.</div>

Sometimes it's just one of those days where you go from speculating the value in completing textbook notes to questioning humanity's entire existence and your place among it. Speaking from personal experience, these days are difficult (and <i>always </i>fall on the days where you have the most homework and least amount of time) but they're temporary. All you have to say to yourself is "Tomorrow is another day." You have your entire life ahead of you, don't let one teach, friend, assignment, or test bring you down. If you are destined to do something, know that you will find away to accomplish it. </div>

Schools often forget about the most important part of school: you. If you are not in the right mindset for school it is 100% okay to take a mental health day. Your well being is worth a day off just gathering your thoughts over Netflix. Go back to school the next day feeling refreshed, prepared, and confident.</div>

Join clubs and after school activities from the get-go. Besides boosting your resume, clubs are a great outlet. It's extremely rewarding when you meet and collaborate with people with similar interests for a common goal. Pick some legit clubs first- like Model UN, marching band, robotics, Honor Society, FBLA- and then join some fun ones like hacky-sack club or a crafting club where it's a carefree, low-stress environment.<br />
From another standpoint, get involved in your classes. Participate a lot, engage with your classmates outside of just that class. Also, <i>talk to your teachers. </i>Bring up a cool place you've been to that relates to the subject, talk about an article you like, ask them about how they got into teaching. Engaging with your teachers makes you more comfortable with them as a student and shows the teacher that you genuinely care about the class. </div>

Spoiler Alert: you actually need to work hard in high school. Your grades do matter. If you find yourself in a mid-year crisis you need to push through. Although it doesn't always seem worth it, studying and completing your assignments help you a lot in the long run. Grades are more significant junior year but if you've been consistent with the years before it will still be the same, just with some more emphasis on college. You future will start to matter more, and doing well in school will open up many more opportunities when you want them to be available. If you have a goal for yourself, lets say a dream college, print a picture and post it on your bulletin board and keep it in your agenda to remind you how short- term diligence has long-term rewards.Those late night (including a few all nighters) will pay off in high grades, praise, and personal satisfaction.<br />

<i>High school isn't the end all be all for the rest of your life. </i>You may feel like you need to make all these life decision at a young age but you don't need to have everything figured out. It's your life, you make it what it is one step at a time. It's okay not to know, it's okay to mess up. Do what you like, what you want, at your own pace, with your own style, or whatever else. And if there's one aphorism that incorporates all these aspects of high school it's <i>you do you</i>. </div>

If not, you should know my aunt and uncle are organic farmers in rural Maryland. Every year, they invite their customers to picnic on their lawn and enjoy live music and the beautiful scenery.

IT IS SO SO SO SO HOT OUT</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's September and it's 90+ degrees out every day and my high school isn't air conditioned. It's so unbearable that we've been let out of school 2 hours early a few days now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Summer, I love you, but I'm really ready for the weather to be just a teensy bit more reasonable. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On another note, how adorable is this top?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On a recent excursion to the Salvation Army, my friends and I cleared out anything remotely adorable, which included this shirt. I love the weird mom vibes I get from it and figured it was destiny that I had recently ordered adroably pastel pants online, so voila. A few buttons/head wraps later, and an adorable, semi-mom-ish outfit was born!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What's your best goodwill find?</div>

*Disclaimer: This post does not indicate any excitement for the start of the school year or fall. If I could make it summer forever, I would*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In all seriousness, I'm terrified that school has started. For me this means scrambling to finish the homework I've been given every night, starting my various college applications, and attempting to balance all of this with my extracurriculars and this blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh also managing to not look like a wreck every day. That has to happen somehow.<br />
Dressing up for school every day is a challenge. It's a lot easier to just give in and throw on leggings and an oversized sweater than to put in a little effort to make it work. The secret to getting dressed in the morning is having an army of versatile staples that you can easily mix and match. Lucky for you, I've compiled a list of what I consider to be the most important garments to survive the competitive catwalk known as high school.<br />
