Thank God it's Friday Night and I.... Have to Work?

Having a job in high school has a lot of positive things, like getting paid on a friday night with parties poppin' and booties shaking all around? no but getting paid and having your own finances, it also teaches you time management and you start to learn responsibility. But along with the positives come the negatives.


When you have a job in high school you have to use your time wisely. If you get too many hours at work and have no time to do homework, your grades will slip and the money you make won't mean much. Another negative is working the weekends, when you could be out with your friends but instead you have to at work until close. You miss football games, parties, sleep overs and a lot of school events. Your friday nights will be a lot different.


The best job I had in high school was working at The Little Gym. The hours were good because the gym closed at 8 so I could still do things on the weekend. Also, I worked birthday parties for kids 1 to 11 years old so everything was always happy and cheerful. The people I worked with were also very fun to be around there was a Geppeto's under the gym so my lunches were always delishious.


In the end, having a job in high school is worth it, you just need to sacrifice some friday nights for the minimum wage you will be paid.

Idk My BFF Jill...

Friendships in high school are hard, a lot of the friends you make will come and go but you always have one or two that stick around with you all four years, and beyond that. You could even meet your best friend half way through your senior year, because in high school it is all about finding out who you are and your friends are evidence to who you want to be, and who you want to be surrounded by.


In my four years my friends have changed every year because every year I was also changing in the person I am today. But I have two great best friends, one that has been there for me since sophomore year, and one that has been there for me for a couple months. I think everyone should have a small group of friends they can trust and can be themselves around because a lot of the girls in our school tend to hang out with girls they don't even like just because they don't like being alone on a friday night. So they fake there feelings towards each other, talking behind each others back, then take a bunch of lame Facebook pictures to show the world that they indeed have a "life" even if it's a boring one. But that's high school for you but in the end it is so much better to have a few close friends that you love then a million friends that you hate.

But enough about the seriousness in friendships, because if you know me I tend to be very unserious. Friends should be people you can be weird with, and laugh with. They should be people you can dance to "Don't You Want Me Baby?" on Chat Roulette at 1 am in the morning, or people you can pee in bushes together, or someone that you can sit on the couch with for hours watching crazy people get arrested on cops, or get your car stuck in a ditch going to Olive Garden and find hot guys with trucks to help you out, they should be someone that makes the most boring things, interesting. Because memories like the ones I have will last so much longer then a profile pictures on Facebook.

You're Ruining My Life!

The most common words that come out of a teenagers mouth towards their parents are the four dramaic words "You're ruining my life!". Dealing with parents is very hard when your a teenager in high school but believe it or not you can have a good relationship with them. 

Everything parents do for you is for your benefit because no matter how much you disagree with them they want to best for you and if that means ruining your life for 24 hours they will do it. I have a really good relationship with my mom, it is no where to be perfect, but I have never told her that I hated her or said that she was ruining my life because we usually don't have reasons to say those words. I tell my mom the truth and she does the same to me, I tell her my problems and she tells me hers, I help her with whatever she needs and she does the same for me. Overall we have a good relationship, we have alot of fun together. But we do fight just like anyother daughter/mother, the thing is we make up.

A lot of teenagers think that they're parents are out to get them, and don't understand why they are getting punish but most of the time the kid deserves it. If you were out past your curfew, you deserve to be punish. Your parents aren't fighting with you for fun, they have a reason to be angry if you broke a rule. Just think about that the next time you think your parents are being unfair, and try to have a good relationship with them, tell the truth, take some responsibility and make time for them. And before you say those four words think about it, are they ruining your life, or are you ruining your own?
