Blog Post 24 – Gloria Pulley

I vividly remember my sister having a panic attack in a bathtub, fall of her junior year.  Don’t ask why there was a bathtub.  I think this kinda sent me the wrong message of what my junior year would be like.  Or maybe she was right, idk. 

The most important lesson that I’ve learned my junior year is not give two shits if I’m imperfect.  Let me elaborate a bit and point out my “failures”

·         Missed the National Merit Scholarship cut off by two or three questions.  But I really don’t care because national merit gives out really crappy scholarships to begin with.  what’s $2,000 when you’re drowning in student debt J  (finance Logsdon, I know you’re going to say that $2,000 makes a big difference, but fretting over the fact that I didn’t get one scholarship isn’t worth it)

·         Some ass hat stole my sketch book so I couldn’t apply for GSA.  Oh well, I hope they enjoyed looking at my doodles while they burn in hell. 

·         I didn’t get into GSP.  Oh well, now I have a summer.

·         I did a stupid and kept running on a broken tibia so I could keep my varsity spot for cross country and you know what that was a horrible idea.  Don’t try to please others if it’s causing you actual physical pain. 

·         Lost one of my “best friends” because I am “a burden that can’t make them happy”….  I honestly could care less what you think I am at this point. 

So yeah, this is short list of my failures.  I think I am just so emotionally and mentally fried by this point in the year that I don’t care. So instead I’m going to focus on my successes because that’s what a person should do.

·         I like my GPA.  It’s really awesome. 

·         I have a mentor for my senior mentoring project and she’s apparently really cool.

·         I socialize more through my endless supply of cat gifs and memes.

·         My leg is really awesome again and running is great

·         I have an awesome running playlist.

·         I have a very good idea of what I want to do in college and where I want to go (Canadian anthem plays in the background)

·         I have two very fluffy babies/ dogs romping around my house and they’re so fun to hug (even through I still miss my sweet baby Poncho)

·         I have coffee

It’s a beautiful life my children. 

Right now I’m just really looking forward to summer because like who isn’t.  I have plans to be super productive like getting my college essays out of the way, reading a bunch, teaching myself biology and starting on my mentoring project, going to God’s Pantry to volunteer, moving and painting and fun things, running, going paddle boarding, getting a job at a plant nursery… yeah I have a lot planned. But right now I don’t really that much planned out for senior year.  I mean I sorta know my schedule, and have my mentoring mapped out, and I know I have to apply to colleges, and all that, but in terms of specific goals… well “that’s where my ideas begin to die out” -Alex Schule
