High School

I'm currently in the summer of 8th grade. 
This fall, I will be attending Interlake High School. 
Entering high school is definitely a landmark in someone's life. You have to start taking accountability. 
Things aren't playful anymore. Everything you do will have a consequence. 
Of course that applies to things before high school, but things you do in high school might have a profound impact on the rest of your life. 
In middle and elementary school, no matter how bad your grades are, it's not gonna effect your future. It might effect your mindset towards school, but someone could get horrible grades in middle school but terrific ones in high school. 
In high school, grades matter. Whatever grades you get, the college you want to go to will see. 
This is something I'm nervous about. I have had decent grades in the past, and I am sad to say that in my middle school years I didn't try most of the time. I know for sure that in high school I won't fail, but I can't think of how I'm gonna be handling the pressure of knowing that everything I do now will effect my future. 
I know going to a good college won't assure you a good job, but it'll be a starting point. Many businesses won't care about the college you go to and rather your experience, but many will. 
Reality has hit me like a train. 
I'm no longer in the protective world where nothing I do will impact my life. Everything I do now will shape me to become the person I will become in the future. That's frightening. 
I'd say I have the same feeling of this as I do when I die, but I'll talk about that some other time. 
Thanks for reading!
Make sure to read the next one.

Being Short

Being short sucks doesn't it? Every time you talk to your peers you have to look up. It hurts the neck. Doesn't it suck walking through a bunch of people and only seeing the back of the person in front of you, not what's up ahead?  Don't you hate it when you really like to play basketball but you're short, making it so that you can't get some rebounds or shoot some shots that you could make if you were taller? You have to take more effort on getting space between you and the defender when you could just shoot the ball from wherever if you were taller.  Being tall gives you more confidence. You can appear more attractive. By social norms, the boyfriend should be taller than the girlfriend. That kind of sucks, because when you're short there are very few that are shorter than you. That's my rant! I am Albert Einstein.

Muscles and Working Out

I am seriously at a lack of ideas for blog-writing. So today, I'll talk about something I have only started doing, working out. I gotta say, working out consistently has been one of my long-time goals. I remember last summer I started working out everyday, but that only lasted for 11 days. It was interrupted because I had to go to a camp. After that, I never found the determination to start working out. I would suddenly work out one day but those days only came once a month, maybe even less. One of these days happened during quarantine. But it wasn't like the others. I kept working out. I don't know why I kept a routine on during quarantine but not during any other time. Perhaps it was because online school gave me a lot more time to do things I wanted to do. Either way, I started working out. I adjusted my work out based on things that I saw on youtube. For the first month I only focused on upper body. Only now am I starting to do lower body. Of course during this time...

Current Stuff

Some interesting stuff has happened recently. Mainly one. There's a teen in Kenosha, Wisconsin. More accurately, he drove to Kenosha Wisconsin, then proceeded to shoot and kill two BLM protesters. Here's what happened, based on what I know. He drove over from his house with an assault rifle. He was treated as a friend by police and was given water, probably because he was one of the few who actually supported them there. They saw him with an assault rifle. He then killed two people. The police of course heard this, but didn't act on it. He then walked back into his car and drove home. Now he's facing charges and a ton of backlash. I know this will also impact his college. What I just don't know is how people are supporting someone like this. His name is Kyle Rittenhouse. He wasn't even defending himself. He doesn't live there. He drove in from his own house to  Kenosha and shot two people. Tucker Carlson and Steven Crowder have actively defended him. Carl...
