Hey y'all, I know it's been a while but soccer and school consume all of my time. Sorry! And lately a nasty cold has been going around and playing in the rain today didn't help it. But yeah today I played a double header and for the first time in history, we beat Carmel which is big. Carmel practically breeds Ethiopian lungs and legs, and the muscles of the USA, and the brains of Asia into one soccer team. So long story short, beating them was amazing.
Anyway, I was wondering if you could give yourself shin splints because I got new shin guards and they don't seem to be the problem but my shins are burning and in pain. Thanks! Bye guys, promise to write soon.

Sophomore Year
Hi everyone! So basically this year is super crazy and I don't think I'll be able to blog more as was once promised. I'm sorry. Soccer is killing my free time, and I usually stay up pretty late to finish my homework. But anyway I don't really have anything else to say. Thank you for all the views and see you all soon hopefully!

Back to School: Advice to the Freshmen
So my lovely school has decided to start incredibly early this year; we're starting on Tuesday. Yes, this Tuesday, as in two days. I'm so jealous of all of you starting in September. Quite frankly, I would rather start later and end later, so for once I could have school on my birthday, and I could have a longer summer break. One of my friends and I were talking and he starts on October 30th. What is that? I was in disbelief. Anyway, back to the main topic of this article: I have made it to sophomore year! So I have a few words of wisdom for all the frosh.
1. High school is not as scary as it seems. Family and media may make it appear terrifying and teachers won't care about you at all, and the upperclassmen will shove you out of the way. Trust me, I go to public school in the poorest county of Indiana. It is not that bad. Teachers are just looking for a little respect and as long as you're a good kid, freshman year will be a breeze.
2. Know your place. I know, I know, you're so excited to be in high school! But don't start bragging out of line, especially involving any upperclassmen or anything. And don't let rumors spread about you, or anyone you're associated with. If that occurs, you can kiss your social life good bye. Gossip spreads like wildfire on dry grass on a humid day in high school. And don't push your way into the senior crowd or anything dumb like that, unless you're the one percent who is effortlessly accepted everywhere. But the majority of us aren't like that.
3. Don't expect your best friends to be with you all the time. Schedules change, classes are different. They can't always be with you, and it's a good way to meet lots of new people or talk to old people you don't know well. Friends can make all the difference in high school, they can push you to great things or they can tear you down and ruin your life. It's your choice.
4. Walk away from bad things. This one seems awfully obvious, but some people think pot and drinking will make them cool. Trust me, you'll look so stupid and the school will talk about you behind your back. This one kid I know was a great soccer player; he had an awesome life, good grades, top of the social ladder. But one day, he was high and drunk at the same time, and decided to go for a little ride in his car. He fell asleep, and caused a seven car pile-up. SEVEN. He got arrested and expelled that day. Don't make that mistake.
5. Partying constantly is not a good decision. Sure, being popular seems like the coolest thing ever in high school, homecoming/prom queen or whatever. Seriously, if your grades suck and you don't do anything besides hang out with your friends all the time, you're screwed once it's time for college applications. Suddenly, you'll be that loser who got a one on your AP tests, and college admissions doesn't care if you hosted that super awesome party, or if you have a cool ride. Some people will be the cool ones in a few years when they graduate from Harvard or Yale, and the popular people will be left in the dust. It's definitely a hard decision, to not always want to go hang out, or attend that game. But in the end, it's definitely worth it.
That's about all I've got, just go out there and enjoy your freshman year! Have a great time!

Pin Curls & Being Dumped by a Hundred People
So first off, I know I know, I'm an awful blogger because I've been putting this off, but I'm back! And really sad too.
First: the pin curls. I saw some video on pin curling your hair overnight, and waking up to glam hair. So I've decided to try this out tonight and see what results have come out of this. I will report back tomorrow hopefully!
And moving on to other longer topic, camp was super fun; Geometry was not. But anyway, meeting lots of people is always the best part of the experience, at least for me. I miss you guys all so much! Leaving my friends is like stabbing my heart with a stiletto, or shattering it into a million pieces. And of course there are some that I'll miss more than others, but that's human nature. You all better come to Brown next summer. Or at least the people I liked. Which is about everyone. But at camp the experience is unforgettable. You meet people of the same caliber, the same intelligence. It's like we've been cut from the same cloth with our own specialities meshed in and we're all meeting for three weeks. It's a great way to learn about other towns and people, and everything. All in all, before I go cry about leaving again(.....), love you all and I will update! Promise!

GEOMETRY AND HOT BOYS ;D
So sorry I haven't posted in a few days, camp has been busy. And I officially hate Geometry. Not like doing five hours of it a day is bad enough, we also stay up to ungodly times to finish and study for a daily test over the chapter and do all the homework problems. And I hate proofs more than imaginable. Who cares about statements and reasons anyway? What matters is that the statement is true! Our teacher seems to love them too, because we do about five proofs as our notes for the day. And it's unimaginably confusing because we have to learn the concepts of the chapter on our own, and look over the proofs also. Our midterm is tomorrow so I had half a Full Throttle and a Mountain Dew, Diet Coke, and normal Coke. It's going to be a long night, and an early morning. At five, I need to be up to look nice and shower since I still have yesterday's make up on, tooo lazy to get wipes. And study some more.
But anyway, onto the good stuff: hot boys. I wish you would all gravitate toward my town, but that will never happen. I could wish on all the 11:11's, four leaf clovers, and eyelashes I want, nothing/no one will ever come by. So there are some okay guys at camp, ad I'm here to share the scoop.
So I'm officially one of the oldest kids in my program because they don't offer Geometry in the older program, and either way I want to see the boy situation here.
There's a really hot Asian guy in my class, he's got a hot bod according to my friend who saw his shirt rise, and he now has been deemed super gorgeous with a six pack.
Any sport makes people so toned, but this guy knocks them out of the field. He's a water polo player and has the best legs ever for a guy I mean. It's so not fair! He's like in shape beyond imagination. Before class, he goes to practice for an hour or so.
Nice guys are my favorite, and this one is no exception! He has literally the cutest smile I've ever encountered in y whole life. He's got the celebrity-loved dimples and straight teeth. Man I'm pretty jealous, no joke.
There's a few others, but not that I know to my knowledge so far. I'm going to check, I've still got a week and a half anyway.
Bye people! Have a wonderful night/day! (:

Soccer Season's Almost Here!
Yay for soccer! It's the best sport ever invented in the history of mankind; it involves teamwork, inner strength and skill, aggression but a politeness at the same time. I could go on and on about soccer. So my most viewed post is Soccer Girl Problems 2! And thanks to everyone who read it! Love you my fellow soccer people!
So as we all know, official soccer season is about to get underway and quite personally, I can't wait! I love the feeling of the grass on my once-white soccer socks after a long practice, and most of all, those attractive tan lines. (JK! Soccer players, I feel your pain.) And I heard recently, they cut women's soccer out of the London 2012 Olympics. Like WHAT? You take out the women's soccer, but not the men's? We can kick their butts any day and we can do it looking pretty. Beat that boys. But anyway, SOCCER SEASON! I am so pumped, but I know I shouldn't be because I'm so out of shape it's sad. I need to go running super soon. My running plans never work out though. I'll tell you how my running plans go.
Day 1: Oh 5:30, let's go! I'm so ready to show off these thunder thighs this fall along with my tan knees and pale shins. Alright I'm ready! (And here I'd probably run like my old cross-country self with a 7 minute mile pace. I was so proud of my mile back then.)
Day 2: 5:30, ughhhhh, sooo sore. Gimme ten more minutes. 5:45, got my gear on, let's get this going.
Day 3: 5:30, shut up. I want my sleep.
So yeah, I don't know how I survived three years of cross-country in middle school. Worse idea EVER. But I was too stupid to know how travel worked back then, so no travel soccer for me. Cross-country was so fun though. This guy that I used to like soooo much ran too, and in our sixth grade picture, we had to stand next to each other and at the time, I thought he was the dumbest kid ever. So our group picture is me staring at him with this disgusted look, and him smiling his little face off. Oh and there was about two feet in between us, which is a lot on crowded, wobbly bleachers.
So all in all, soccer season here I come! Back to freshman getting the balls, yay! Last year we had like an overpopulation of frosh so I only did it like twice. I may or may not have cheated my way out of doing it. And as usual, love you all. Ciao!

Lady Gaga where are you?
So I'm a pretty avid Lady Gaga fan, and obviously a little monster. I love what she represents and her effect in the music industry. I know she's been touring lately(same hotel as Lana del Ray and Lindsey Lohan!) but I can't help but wonder when her next single will arrive. It's been over a year! I know she's busy, but squeeze us in too! Oh and on the subject, why are all the celebrities making awful life movies nowadays? I think it's just dumb. Katy Perry, really? I'm sorry, but she's just awful live and I don't expect this movie to be any better. Tell me how it is if you guys have seen it! ~one monster signing off. <3 ta-ta for now monsters!
