Summer... for girls. :DDDDD
Tuesday, April 6, 2010 | Powell Pumas Tale
SUMMER!!! It's almost here! Only seven more weeks left. Seven more weeks till no school, till endless heat(:, till cute shorts, till friends, till NO STRESS! Also... there is seven more weeks to get your grade up ;D Ha, yeah summer and school put in the same sentence doesn't sound so great, huh? We don't have summer school here at Powell. But if your grades aren't looking that great, they do hold you back. Imagine being a step behind all your fellow classmates. Thaaaaaat would be tough. So before the end of the school year bump your grades up! They give us so many opportunities to have decent grades, take advantage of them! That's not easy to say, or do. Push yourself. I promise it will help you in the later on. Start out being organized. Use a planner, it really does help you to never forget about assignments. Next step, go in for lunch to classes that you have been struggling in, you will get a better understanding of the lesson if the teacher is directly saying it to you. Now, actually DO your homework. They wouldn't give you homework if they thought it wouldn't help you in the long run, common sense. If you flunk a test, ask to re-do it. Getting a D is better than an F, am I right? Last step, relax. If you actually do try doing all of the above, you would have improved in that certain class. By the way, this isn't coming from a A student. I struggle too. But I have been doing some of that advice and I have improved. Take my word, it really works.
Good luck!(:
Just seven more weeks.

Procrastination for ladies.
| Powell Pumas Tale
AHH,PROCRASTINATION. Some thing people like me always run into. It is probably the worst habit to have. I'm in seventh grade and still struggle with it, and we are almost done with the year! Most the time we just try and avoid our homework, or cleaning our room, or writing a blog. <- I just realized I was trying to avoid that. But when reality strikes you notice that the things you have been ignoring, are STILL there. You STILL have to do it, but this time it's under pressure and you might have other stuff to add on to it which makes the whole situation difficult. So try and stop this haunting habit now. I'm sure it will get a whole lot worse as an adult if you don't. Even if you don't fall under the category of a "procrastinator," it is still good to be aware of getting yourself organized and on top of it before it you DO fall under that category.
SO! Don't let things drag you back, get your stuff done so you are stress-free and happy(: Have a nice day!

Procrastination... for boys
| Powell Pumas Tale
Procrastination is a serious problem. I do it and I know you do. Don't try to hide it, every boy procrastinates at some point in their life. It may be on homework, school work, chores, or almost anything else you can "do". The only way I can help you with it is to tell you to not do it. In the end of it all it is your decision on what you want to do. But my suggestion is to do the work and get it over with, you will take more time procrastinating than you will doing the work. I procrastinate a lot and regret every minute of it later. I can tell you to do your work but you don't have to. You do not have to listen to me (but you should), no matter what it is your decision.
Procrastination is a sensitive issue for school kids and even adults that can be helped if you try harder and harder to beat it and get your work done. There will be one more blog coming so I can make my deadline. So until I finish the next one...

Middle school drama... for boys?
Friday, April 2, 2010 | Powell Pumas Tale
Drama... well, not really my subject considering I'm a boy.
Boys aren't really big on drama, we have little bits here and there but nothing like girls. The only drama we have are little insults or breakups but we are not affected by gossip or just drama itself. That is why the term drama queen is QUEEN not KING, you never hear anybody saying "oh, he is such a drama king." It just doesn't work you cant make boys the center of drama, it upsets the natural balance of life. If you do the world might explode (now that would be DRAMATIC). Yeah drama is not big with boys you can try and try again but boys are not affected, and we just think the whole thing is stupid.
I have no idea why I am writing about something i know nothing about so I should probably stop before i make myself look stupid. So, until next time...

MIddle School drama for girls.
| Powell Pumas Tale
One of the worst things ever. You wouldn't imagine how the slightest things could hurt you or one of your very closest friends. It all starts when you gossip. It's easy to say, "don't gossip." In reality it is not easy to stop. Everyone does it, even guys believe it or not. That one spine tingling, intriguing word that has every attached in one breath, could ruin a reputation or a friendship. You never think about it, until it happens. Keep these things in mind before you could destroy what you have. If some one is trying to bash some one that you haven't been getting along with, the human reaction would be to bash that one person with that other person. That sounds a little confusing when it's written all out, but it is like a natural habit most people do daily. To get you out of that situation, you should tell them you're not in a mood to talk about them, or be the bigger person and tell them that gossiping won't make anything better. Usually people are shut down and have nothing to say once you confront them about that. One of the things you should be most aware of out of everything is self control. Only YOU can stop your self to pass on that tiny secret, or in other words that big fat lie. The only thing that will help you have self control on this difficult subject is imagining everything without a friend, and without a good reputation. I chose this subject because i thought it would be good for today, tomorrow, and a couple years from now. I have said all that I needed too, now it's up to you to make the difference.
