Just For Fun
The One for Me
By: Me
I’m sorry for what I said to you
I’m sorry for all the things I didn’t do
I want you to know that I love you
With more than my whole heart
And nothing can ever break us apart
I know I’ve said these words before
But I mean them now more than ever
I don’t want to lose you
For stupid things I chose not to do
I want to be with you forever
Until the lights burn out in this city
And the earth comes crashing down
I hear your voice in my dreams
And it keeps me going whenever I feel like giving up
You build me up so I’m higher than the clouds
But you keep me grounded like the dirt beneath our feet
When I look up into the night sky
I know those are the same stars that you see
And I know you will always be the one for me

In the moment! Don’t we all love to live in the moment? Living in the moment is so thrilling, and it makes you forget the bad in the world. It’s little moments like this that we all live for.
Little Moments
By: Megyn
Time really flies by
When you’re having
The time of your life
When you’re so in love it’s crazy
And all you want to do
Is be with your baby
In his arms
Late at night
And in the early morning light
See the sun rise in the east
And watch it set in the west
It’s moments like these
You’ll never forget
Time is merely a figment of ones imagination
For if you forget about it
It doesn’t really exist
Love is a made up game of the heart
But if you’re smart
You can win
And live happily ever after again

Hear Me Out

Dear Freshy Letter
Dear Freshman,
First I would like to say do not let freshman year intimidate you. I am sure you have heard people say that this was their worst year of high school, but it is only your worst year if you let it be. Let the drama roll around you, and be sure not to create any of your own. If your friends stop talking to you do not go around spreading awful rumors about them. You will regret it! Also if your “friend” goes around and starts spreading rumors about you do not feel bad when you decide they are not worth keeping around. Drama is not worth your time.
I would also like to say do not get behind in your school work. When you get your first few assignments it may seem overwhelming, but just get them done to the best of your ability. If you fall behind catch up quickly because the assignments will just keep coming. Another thing, make sure that you complete your assignments well. Do not just do them to get them done. In the long run it will pay off. Grades are important. Not only to pass the year, but to help you in the future. Getting into college will be easier, and even if you do not go to college you need a high school diploma for every other job out there.
If you are an athlete school needs to come first. Regardless of how much you love, and are dedicated to your sport. Your sport will not mean anything if you cannot play it. Also if you play sports you may get out of classes occasionally for games and/or meets. Make sure to get the work you are going to miss before you head out. You must stay up to speed with the rest of your peers. Plus if you know you are going to be missing classes ask one of your friends that are not in a sport, to let you know about the work. This is your year to find out who you are and where you stand in this school! Make this the BEST year of your high school career. Stay away from all the drama; get your school work done on time and to the best of your ability, and good luck with your future!!
Sincerely,
Megyn

My Dear Romeo and Juliet!

Sing it Out!
“O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?” There are the Romeo and Juliet we all know from the play by Shakespeare. Then there are the Romeos and Juliets of the world that are referred to in songs of love. Most music artists use the names Romeo and Juliet when speaking of a boy and girl who are in love. However the relationship between the Shakespearean Romeo and Juliet and the music world Romeo and Juliet are slightly different. The song “My Kind of Party” by Jason Aldean uses the names Romeo and Juliet, and it is crucial to determine whether the allusion is correctly representing the two characters.
The song I chose makes a reference to Romeo and Juliet. Romeo, in the Shakespearean play, is depicted as a young man of about sixteen who is lovesick over a girl he does not know. The Romeo in this song is displayed as “your Redneck Romeo.” The Juliet in Shakespeare is a kind, young lady of about fourteen who falls for a boy she has barely met. The Juliet from this splendid song is said to be “my tan-legged Juliet.”
The question is how accurate are these depictions? This “redneck Romeo” is not the proper type whereas the boy from Shakespeare happens to be. The depiction is also true because like the Shakespeare Romeo this music world Romeo sneaks away to see his Juliet. This depiction of Juliet is false because regardless of her skin tone the song says nothing about Juliet’s age or personality as the Shakespearean play does.
Like other famous works of literature the names of the characters Romeo and Juliet are used as names of lovers in many songs. In the song “My Kind of Party” by Jason Aldean there is a reference to Romeo and Juliet. The question proposed was whether the reference was accurate or not. This song had several false references but also a few correct references. That is the interpretation of this song that I had.

That One Girl

There is always someone in our life that we look up to. For some of us, like me, it's a secret.
That One Girl
You're so inspiring
the way you write
the way you read
you're everything I want to be
each day you walk into school
with an I don't care attitude
I know underneath that beautiful smile
and your not so perfect skin
is a battle scarred heart
with guards barring the entrance
so you don't let anyone in
you're so different from the status quo
underneath that's my goal
people say I have the looks
the body
the brains
but inside I'm dieing to get away
life isn't easy
you've told me that before
it wasn't easy
the day he walked out that door
we haven't found someone to replace him yet
but we're still trying to mend our hearts
every once in a while
I can't help but fall apart
I've seen you fall apart some days
but everyone has those days
you get up
brush yourself off
and move on the next day
or so it seems
I know on the inside you're dieing too
that's the thing about you
you're so guarded
but you're so brave
I don't know how you put on
that beautiful smile every day
me
I'm always dieing inside
and on the outside
I cry
you're so inspiring
one day I hope you find someone
someone who makes you soar so high
that there will never be another low
in your life

Do you have a friend that you know you absolutely could not live without? I know I do. I have this friend, and her name is Breanna. However, I call her Breeseff! Bre is an amazing person. She is really funny, and even though she does not act it sometimes she is really smart too.
If you are ever having a bad day, go to Bre and she will make it all better. She knows how to make you laugh and smile and have a better day. Having the worst day of your life? Breeseff will make you not have a care in the world. You will forget why you were having such a terrible day.
Next year she plans on playing field hockey with me. I know that will make me enjoy the fall sports season all that much more. I know she is going to be a great field hockey player. If she ever needs help with her skills I plan on being there with a helping hand.
If I ever wanted to be someone else for a day I would want to be her. She makes so many people happy every day. Not only that, she is such an upbeat person. She rarely ever has a bad day. Even if she does she does not ever take her frustration out on anyone. I love when I make people smile, and Bre does it every day. Breeseff is the best friend anyone could ever have. I am so thankful for having a friend like Bre.

A Thousand Years<3

True love is something not everyone in the world finds. Sure when you’re young you think you’re in love, and maybe you are. However for some people it’s not their true love. It is just someone they have found to keep them occupied as they get closer and closer to their true love. Some people refer to their true love as their soul mate. According to Greek Mythology: The first humans were created with four arms, legs, and eyes, and two noses and mouths. Afraid of their power, Zeus split them in half, leaving them to find the other half of themselves… these people are called our soul mates. When you find your soul mate you will truly be complete.
Have you ever been in love? The first time you find someone who likes you for who you are you feel like nothing else in the world matters. You think it must be the best thing that could ever happen to you. Maybe you’re the type of person to try your very hardest to make it work. Maybe you’re the type of person who just acts like themselves and says if you don’t like what you see then I guess you aren’t worth being with, or maybe you play it off all cool like you don’t care what others think when really each time you look in the mirror you find something to change about yourself because you just want everything to be perfect.
A Thousand Years
By: Christina Perri
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
(Chorus)
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty I know she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything
Take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this
One step closer
(Chorus)
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer One step closer
(Chorus)
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Sometimes love does not work out the way you want it to the first time. You find someone who you accept flaws and all, but they aren’t as accepting as you are so it just doesn’t work out. For some people, you admire someone for so long, and you truly, deeply like them, but they don’t notice you for so long that once they fall for you too you cannot even believe it. True love is hard to find, and for some people it takes longer than others to find it. Don’t worry about finding “the one” if you’re only in high school. You have your whole life ahead of you. Just think of all the people you haven’t met yet.

Celebration Time!!

A reader response theorist would celebrate the movie Johnny.
One reason they would celebrate this text is because this movie is emotional. It makes you feel something when you watch it. The main character has cancer, and he gets adopted several months before his predicted death. While he is living in his new home he has a sister and they go to the beach, and they have a good time. While those characters are smiling you are too because you feel for the boy. He does not have much time left and he is enjoying his life.
Another reason a reader response theorist would like this text is because they love stories you can connect to. This movie is a perfect example of that. Perhaps you know someone, or are related to someone who has cancer. There are times in the movie when the young boy is crying when he finds out just how short the rest of his life is said to be. You find yourself crying right along with him because you have grown attached to the character, and you do not want him to die.
Therefore, Johnny, is a text that a reader response theorist would celebrate.
