Its The Start Of A Revolution...

and by that I mean, Summer 2010. Well, technically it's summer 2010 in t-minus two days but hey whose counting? Certainly not the seniors of San Clemente High School whose official last day was on Friday. & how did they spend it? Ironically staying and partying at the place whose demands required them to walk its halls for four years of their lives, to complete endless and endless amounts of exams, quizzes, projects, community service all leading up to one big day where they get to walk across an enormous stage, in front of hundreds of family, friends and distant relatives, being careful not to trip-all to receive a handshake and a piece of paper with fancy writing say "HEY YOU DID IT!".It's all very ironic, if you think about it. We spend our whole lives (well most of us) working to be the best at something whether it be sports, school work, popularity, whatever. Yet, sometimes you have to wonder if you work towards it because you actually LOVE doing it or is it because thats what it takes to be successful? In college when you choose your major-do you choose that major because you actually have a serious interest in pursuing a career in that field or because jobs in those fields gross over 250,000 a year?

I find that in this aspect, I am slightly bending the rules here. I love writing. I won't say I'm amazing at it but I do think I hone some skill in it (& to those reading this thinking "Wow cocky bitch" thats not cocky, thats trusting in your skills). But I would never dare pursue a career in the writing field simply because for one thing my parents would kill me for "wasting away my precious education" and second, in reality writers just don't make that much money-and in this world, money is everything. So what do you do when society condemns you for wanting to follow your dreams? You find the second best thing and hope to God it will make you a least a little happy. I found this in the International Business and Marketing field with a minor in environmental science. I love traveling, I love working with people, and I love the environment-it works out, don't you think?

Back on the subject of summer, even though it hasn't started officially yet for us-summer, summer is in the air. If you didn't attend Alexa Strange's amazing sweet sixteen on saturday aka the best kickoff to summer-then my friend, you really missed out the start of what I know will be the most memorable summer ever. Even though the night ended with brawls-I really will never understand why boys feel the need to fight one another, it seems so stupid and girl fights? yeah trashy.-the overall party was one to be remembered as "Party of the Year". Congratulations Alexa and once again happy birthday.!

"Live and let live"
