Thoughts During The ACT

Well, the national ACT took place yesterday! This means college is approaching! It also means the anxiety levels of teens all climaxed at the same time. I took an ACT prep class so I was feeling pretty confident. However, most of my thoughts while taking the ACT went like this:

"Stay awake stay awake"

"Someone just flipped their page, I am behind??"

"What is this? Oh, just another thing I didn't learn in school"

"Will I honestly ever need this in my life?"

"HURRY UP AND FINISH"

"Ughhhh I just wanna go home" :( 

Basically all of that was running through my head while I was trying to understand what the questions actually meant. I was so relieved when it was finally over. All I want is to see my scores. Your score determines a lot, mainly what college will accept you. However, I realized one thing. Your score does not define YOU. So what if you got a lower score than someone else? Some of the smartest people are the dumbest people in certain situations. And if you got a low score, that doesn't mean you're dumb. It means you have certain strengthens that the ACT doesn't test you on. A standardized test doesn't define you as a person. Only you can define you. All the Love -Kate

My Take On Wisdom Teeth

What's up you guys! So yesterday was an eventful day full of pain and ice cream. That is correct, I got my wisdom teeth taken out. A rite of passage one might call it. I left my house for surgery at 9:30, and I have never had surgery before so I just hated the world. When we arrived to the oral surgery office, we checked in and didn't have to wait very long before they called me back. When I was sitting back there, waiting for the doc to come in my nerves started taking over. Whenever I'm nervous, I start laughing. So it was like the ultimate struggle not to burst out laughing. The whole process was very quick. They gave me an IV in my left arm which knocked me out immediately. The next thing I remember is laying down in the medical bed with my mom rubbing my back. I was awfully chatty after, and wasn't sure of what I was saying. However, my mom videotaped it and I said a lot. I asked if I had gotten lip injections like Kylie Jenner, I said "this is what Lil Wayne must feel like all the time," I thought my tongue was a slug, I explained how you can kill slugs, I said I hated my friends for putting me in a group chat, and I just laughed a lot. Once I got home and lied down for a while, the pain started to kick in. The pain is AWFUL. I'm still in horrible pain as I write this. My face is also a little puffy, too. The painkillers are great though! However, the fact that I can only eat pudding, ice cream, or mashed potatoes SUCKS. I thought I would enjoy that aspect, but all I want is pasta or chicken nuggets. Plus, it still hurts to eat ice cream. Moving my jaw in anyway hurts. It is day two, and my pain is supposed to reach it's peak on day three. Yikes. Well I hope everyone is feeling better than I do at this point. Have a great week! All the Love -Kate 

Forget About Them

Happy Easter, everyone!

Let's talk about how completely crazy people can get. I wish the world was simple. My question is: why do people act one way, then complete blindside you by becoming polar opposite? We all know these people. You think you're friends with them, and then poof, they act like they don't even know you. The solution? Cut the chord. If someone doesn't want to see how awesome you are and doesn't want to be a friend 24/7, than why bother with them. You're worth more than one individual's mixed signal mayhem. Once you drop these types of people, you are free. Your mental state, once full of questions, is now free. Live the life you were given and forget about society's drama. Why stress over one human when you have a world to see? Go explore, your heart can take a beat. All the Love -Kate
