    I may not be Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, or Selena Gomez, but my spring break was pretty crazy (that was obviously a reference to the new and awful seeming movie "Spring Breakers"). When I got off on Friday, I was so pumped! This was our last spring break as high schoolers! Okay, let's be honest, my spring break wasn't that crazy, but it was definitely nice and relaxing.. for some parts. I basically worked every day except Sundays and the one Tuesday, which I don't mind. I finally saved enough money to open a bank account and now I have my own debit card! This is definitely a staple point in growing up! I can now online shop without a hassle, which is blessing and a curse. 
   I am quite sad that our break doesn't coincide with the spring breaks of the majority of other high schools, but what can we do? I hung out pretty much every day and just had fun. I watched "Identity Theft" and was carded for the first time in my life. I biked around the neighborhood and saw Ranjay, who obnoxiously screamed across the car from the passenger seat to yell my name. I even saw an old childhood friend from Florida who I hadn't seen for many, many years. I didn't do too much homework, which I should've have finished within the first few days of break, rather than 2am the day we got back to school. I also restarted crocheting and have been trying to make a blanket I could take to college with me. Let me tell you.. crocheting is such a time-investing activity.. especially when you're trying to make something that's as tall and wide as you are. I also tried to give my dog a little bit more love and care by brushing her rotten teeth.. something she hates quite a lot. I usually have to stick her head between my legs and squeeze so she doesn't squirm that much. Then she aggressively punches my vagina.. she's learned well. Overall, I didn't do absolutely nothing this break, which is an accomplishment.
   It's kind of crazy to see how fast a week can go by.. and before we know it, the rest of high school will pass by and we will be sitting on the stadium field waiting for our names to be called. There are only 53 days of school left, but yet we have so much to do. As seniors, this is our time. We still have Senior ball, our last AP exams, Senior trip, grad night, and whatever else. Our entire high school careers are dwindling down to the last stretch and I thank God for everything that’s happened. I remember all those late nights.. or mornings for most of us. Although I pretty much hated all my years at high school, it has truly made me a stronger person. All that we’ve worked for for the past 10 years is finally coming to an end. I truly am excited to see where all our lives lead us in the next few years. The class of 2013 is truly awesome and it has been a pleasure to spend all my years of school with them all.
