Blog #3: Shoprite bread aisle

For #2 of the free write, I wrote about how I remember the smell of the Shoprite bread aisle. This smell is such a core memory to be because I used to go to Shoprite all the time with my Grandma and sister. I always looked forward to the smell. It is a really yummy smell and I am sure you smell it a lot at Whole Foods.

I have mixed opinions on the free write assignment. I liked it as a way to focus and remember little things about myself that I may have forgotten. I didn't like the timer as I had a hard time coming up with stuff during the time limit. It was a bit stressful but fun once I had an idea.

Tuesday meditation was good. It is getting easier to relax especially because I am very tired at that point in the day. I like doing the meditations and hope we keep doing them as it reduces my stress levels.

Blog #5: My weekend

Friday was a good day. Central had a delayed opening so I started school at 9ish and ended at 11:11am. Then I went home and took a nice refreshing nap. I woke up, ate, and immediately got ready for the football game. It was senior night, so I had to put on my full uniform even though it was chilly out and I was so cold. The game was really fun. We won by a lot and hit our halftime routine. Our coach got us a big box of Crumbl cookies to eat. I went home and went back to bed. Saturday was very busy. I woke up at 8am and got ready for cheer practice. I stopped at Dunkin first and then drove me and my sister to the gym. We practiced until 11am. Practice was good, we are finally making progress and preparing for our first competition. Then we went straight from cheer to Wawa for lunch. I got a chicken caesar wrap and an energy drink. I took us straight to work where I was at until 10:30pm. It was a long day but very productive. I made money and was a hard worker. My legs ached. It was easy...

Blog #1: My Writing Autobiography

The first time I remember writing something that wasn’t for school was on New Year’s Eve in 2018. I was ten years old and decided to make a bucket list for the upcoming year. I also wrote a letter to my future self. I wanted to write out what I wanted to improve on, so I wouldn’t forget. Some goals related to cheerleading, like getting my back tuck and improving my flexibility. I also added things like stopping cursing and drinking less soda. Looking back at it now, it was pretty mature for 10-year-old me. The most recent thing I wrote just for myself was a ranking of all the energy drinks I’ve tried. I include descriptions next to each one, so I know which flavors to buy again. In case you are curious, my favorites are Hawaiian Shaved Ice Alani and Strawberry Passionfruit Celsius. No one asked me to make the list, I just enjoy keeping track of small things that matter to me. One default setting I didn’t realize I had when it c...
