Evolution

If you guys are thinking that this post is about dinosaurs and Pangea you are wrong. Sorry to break the news, but it is not about that. That would be really weird if it was, who blogs about that in a totally girly blog. Okay whatever. This post is actually about how I've changed since I first started blogging, and since I started my freshman year.

In the academic view I feel like I've improve a lot on my writing and expressing myself. When Mr.Parker first told us that we were going to start blogging for the rest of the year I was sooooo mad. I couldn't believe it, specially because I have no creativity in writing any sort of story or blog. I couldn't even write on my journal, because I always thought that everything I wrote was stupid and immature. But thanks to this blog I've started to become more comfortable with my writing. In my other academics I learned more than the previous years. I even took AP Human Geography, which I have the AP test for this friday. I managed to stay in Honor Roll and in NJHS. I even took yearbook as an extra class after school. So I think from the academical side I've definitely improved from how I started.

Now, looking at the personal side I've definitely grown as a person. I'm not the quite it shy girl that never spoke for herself because she was scared of what other people had to say about me. Now I say what I think and when I don't like something I will defenetly go up to the person and say hey I didn't like what you said/did. So I'm pretty happy about that. I've also made so many more friends this year that have helped me developed into a better version of me. So shout out to all my peeps out there.

Shout out to Mr.Parker for helping me find my voice through this assigment. From time to time it was difficult, but I'm really glad I got to have the experience of having my own blog. I've might of not become blog famous but at least I've grown as a person thanks to this blog. XOXO, Francesca

Why School Actually Isn't So Bad

You probably just read the title and were like "OMG WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER!!" or "Wow she must be one of those losers that actually likes school, psh pathetic." Well I've got to tell you a secret. I secretly do like school....seriously, I do. I mean it's not my favorite place to be in but it's not that bad as people make it seem. I guess there are bad parts to it; like homework, mean teachers, etc. But tbh how would you learn the topic if you don't do homework? Who would you learn from if there weren't teachers? You see high school is not such a bad place. I consider it a really fun place, where you can literally be as awkward as you want an you know that it is okay, because there are other people in the school that are as awkward as you are!

Here's a picture of me and other kids in my school when we won the science fair
Photo creds Mr.T

At school you can literally be anyone you want. You can be the awkward kid, the nerd, the dancer, the swimmer, the skater, the weird kid, the shy kid, the pretty much what ever you want to be kid. Yea, I guess there are down side to that, like bullying or being left out. But in my case, I've always been in really good school, where there has been no bullying. I remember being bullied once, but literally that was the one and only time. And if you are ever being bullied just tell someone, the bullies should not be the reason why you hate school, because there is so much more in school then just bullies. Now that we've covered the whole friend thing and school as a place where you can hang out with your friends let cover the educational part of it. School is not only a place of entertainment but also a place of educational fun, where you can choose what you want to learn. Literally it's not like the teachers make you learn the subject. You get to choose if you want to learn or not, it's up to you. School is not a place where you're supposed to feel like you are going to hell every day, it should be a place where you can grow as a person and as an individual. Here's an article about school, it's really interesting, you guys should read it, click here. I hope I influence your opinion about school. XOXO, Francesca

Sibling Love

Giacomo and I
PC Mom

Siblings are the most important thing in the world. Nah that is way too cheesy, parents are actually the most important thing in the world tbh. But my brothers are the second more important thing in the world. Specially my older brother Giacomo, he's my role model. They say that brothers and sisters aren't always that close since they are different gender. In my case it's totally different, I mean not just only because I have no sisters, just brothers, but it is because I have been blessed with such a wonderful brother. He's the best friend that I have always wished for.  He's kind loyal, understanding, annoying, good listener, joker, and many more qualities that are unique to him.

 In the last couple of years I feel like our relationship has strengthen and developed into more or a friendship. I've been able to tell him everything. Literally everything. I've started to talk to him about my friendship problems, boy drama, family drama and other kinds of stuff. He has helped me so much with everything. I owe him a big one. I will always remember those talks that we've had in the morning where you will always just listen to my drama and give me the best advice. Please don't think that we're like the perfect siblings, because when we fight, we fight. I mean sometimes even fist fight but he obviously always lets me win. And when we get to verbal fight, those are rough, believe me. But like the gentle man that he is, he always says sorry first, no matter what. I'm so grateful to have such an awesome and admirable brother, I will always be proud of him. I have no idea what I'm going to do when he leaves on a mission. I will miss him so much. If you ever see him around or get the chance to meet him you should totally go up to him and say him, because he's the most friendly person ever.  XOXO, Francesca

H is for Harry Potter

The movie Harry Potter in my book is define as one of the best movies of all time. Like seriously Rowling (the author) is a genius. How does someone just come up with such brilliant books. You've got to have such a big imagination and kind off a dark mind.If you've never seen the movie or read the books you are seriously missing out on life, I'm not kidding. So the book/movie is about a young boy whose parents were killed by Voldemort (the evil guy) but before the mom died she put a spell on Harry. Oh btw they're all wizards. Okay so the spell that the mom put on Harry that connects his with the bad guy. SO Harry has to go through all this journey to find a way to kill Voldemort. It's a really interesting plot and story, I would for sure recommended it to anyone, but just keep in mid that it is a tiny little bit scary for younger kids.

The one reason why I totally love Harry Potter is because it's kind off my family tradition to watch Harry Potter together. Ever since the first movie came out my family, specially my mom have been obsess with it. We used to have Harry Potter marathons in which my whole family would watch every single movie on a weekend. I still remember the times my family and I would go out to the movie theater to watch the premier of every movie. One time I remember for my mom's birthday we got her the last Harry Potter book and soon after we went back to Peru and we all saw the movie together. For those reasons I believe that Harry Potter is the creates movie/book ever made. Please enjoy the picture of bæ and I when we when't to Horwards.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how cute we look. Like seriously!
Oh PC to my photoshopping skills.

Track Swag

Hi everyone, I hope you've had an awesome week. Well I've got good news that I forgot to share with you. I joined the Track and Field team. I know it's so surprising, because if you know me you would know that I seriously hate running, like I wouldn't do it on my free time. Whatevs, I still joined track. I have to say it's pretty hard having to run so many laps and doing all this exercise. I guess I'll be in shape for basketball. The main reason why I'm doing track is because of basketball, my goal for ext year is to make to varsity, so I thought this would really help me. Since I've started track I've got the chance to met so many awesome people and coaches, so I'm going to talk about it a little bit more in detail.

Here's a picture of our gang that we've made. PC:Dill Pickle   

Since I've started track I got to get closer to Dillon and Dani and Maggie. They are such fun people to be around. They actually make track so much better and less painful. The funnest park of track is going to meets and racing and just hanging out with your peeps while waiting for races. While waiting for races seriously the only thing we do is just hang out and talk about our "Wanna be Bæs" It's a long story that might actually lead me to another post. Well I just wanted to share the news and how exited I am about it. Thank for reading, please leave suggestions on the comment section on what I could improve on. XOXO Francesca

Online Stores

Girls lets start by stating something obvious, we love shopping, we like looking around stores and looking at cute clothes and just trying it on. Seriously I think I have an obsession with shopping, and wearing clothes for the first time. I think that's one of the best feeling ever. Well this post is about awesome online stores that have the cutest clothes. Also I'm going to list some stores that are pretty cheap and still have cute clothes. So you should totally keep reading!

My number one all time favorite store is Pac Sun. This store has really cute clothes and it's actually not that expensive. I mean you can find anything from any price range, just like every store. From this store I really like their jeans, and how many different kinds they have. Buying online is really easy and fast.

Scream shot by me. LOL

The second store that has some pretty cute clothes is Forever 21. This store is full of different pattern shirt and pants. How great is that?! If I had to rate this store on scale of 1-5 I would probably give it a 4.25. Buying online in their website is supper easy and fast.

Another pretty good store is American Eagle. Their clothes there is super cute and they have the cutest cardigans and dresses. One of the must check out stores. They website is really easy to underhand and easy to check out too.

Scream shot creeds to me..again. I should probably become a professional at this.

Just an FYI this is my opinion, so you guys should comment your favorites of 2k14. Okay, lets get started with the reason why everyone likes music so much. I personally think is because not only because of the catchy rhythm but also because everyone can relate with a song.

Hacks Every Girl Should Know

Todays blog is about hacks everyone girl (or boy) should know about. Just in case you don't know what hacks are, they are "tricks" to make you life easier. I actually follow this page on Instagram that is just all about hacks. Seriously hacks are life!!! So I'll just make a list for you guys, lets get started.

• For fast and easy beach waves, just divide your hair into four pieces and braid them, then with a flat iron go over them. Try putting some hair spray for better results. Let it cool for about five minutes, then take them out and you should have some beautiful beach waves. I seriously do this all the time, it's easy and fast. A must do for sure.

Here's a selfie with my AWESOME beach waves

• One of my faves hacks of all time is chocolate chip muffin in a cup. Check out The Diva Dish for the recipe .
• If you ever run out of eyeliner just grab a eyeliner brush and brush it over a mascara brush and you'll get instant eyeliner.
• To have a lasting smell, apply perfumer inside wrist, inside elbow, under neck, behind ear, and behind your knees.
• To not have smudges under your lower lashes put a piece of paper behind them and apply mascara. This will help obtain the perfect look.
• Once your lipstick is done, you can just take out the remaining and put it in a spoon and met let and poor into little containers. Best way to get everything out of your product

There are probably so many more hacks that I haven't mention. If you guys have some good ideas for hacks please leave a comment below and tell me all about it. Thanks for reading! XOXO Francesca.

20 Things Every Girl Thinks But Never Says

Last week I saw this video on Facebook (I know Facebook wow! Who uses that anymore) about what girls think about themselves, but never say it out loud. So this experiment started like this. Production asked this girls to write on a journal how they felt about themselves for a week. Then they got actresses to have a dialogue about what this girls said about themselves. As soon as the original girls that wrote the journals heard the dialogue they realize that it was really mean, and no one should ever say that about themselves. I'll post the video below.

This is the video

So now I'm going to make a list of the 20 things every girl thinks but never says.

1. Ahhh I'm so fat!
2. Why does my nose have to be so big
3. My face is so round
4. What the heck is wrong with you hair today
5. Who told that girl that that outfit was cute. EWW
6. Holy crap! My legs are so big!
7. Why can't I be like her...
8. Omg that girls hair is so greasy, does she not have a shower at home
9. Eww I have so many pimples
10. Why are you so stupid
11. *Rolls eyes* She needs to grow up
12. What a cry baby
13. Does she know that the shirt she's wearing is see-through 
14. She needs to shut up
15. Stop talking to me you annoy me
16. Who does she think she is
17. Her face is so annoying
18. I should probably go on a diet
19. You're irrelevant
20. I'm so done with everything 

All of this things are things that probably every girl has thought of but never said, I mean I have, I'll admit it. We all tend to have negative thoughts, but if we start adding one good thought to our day, we will soon be full of happiness and joy. XOXO, Francesca

I'll give you blogs for what ever you're looking for, so like sports, entertainment, food, and just funny ones that I find really entertaining. These blogs are seriously my favs and I think everyone should go check them up after you guys are bored reading my blog.

Friends Are Cool

Hello everyone, I've decided that I seriously have the coolest and greatest friends ever. I mean you know how they say friends are like a four leaf clover, hard to find but lucky to have. Well, that's actually not true, I mean the hard to find part, because I've actually found so many great friends, so Id not think they're that hard to find. You just have to look in the right places. So this post is all about my friends,. You could call it a friends appreciation post.

So lets start with one of the closest friend I have. Her name is Salina Ochoa, she's probably one of the nicest and sweetest person that you'll ever meet. Not to mention that she is hilarious! Seriously, if you ever feel sad you can just go to her and she'll just make you laugh. You could say that she's one of those people that you could count on for anything. We met in 6th grade at basketball, and we first weren't that good of friends, because I literally did talk to anyone, because I was sooooo shy. But then in 7th grade we had math together, and that's when we started talking and becoming good friends, and later on in the day we found out that we had english together too, so that was the best thing ever. After that we both decided to play softball together too. So you could say we're sports friends. She's kind off like the sister I never had, I could probably go on and on talking to her and we would never run out of stuff to talk about.

Here are pictures of her and I. Photo Creds to me.

Another good friend that I have is Kelley Hennessy. She is such a good friend. She's one of people that will make sure you don't get left out no matter what. Her personality is the best thing ever. You will never get bored being around her. I have so many good memories with her and hope to make so many more. Everyone should get to know her because she's just such a good person.

The picture in the left is from like 3 years ago, please ignore our faces

Another close friends that I have is Siana and Darbi. I decided to do both of them together because they are much a like! Seriously it's crazy. So Siana is one of the weirdest funniest person you'll ever meet. Darbi is pretty funny when she wants to and a really good friend.

So the one laying is Siana and the little hand  is Darbi. I seriously don't know what we were doing.

One of my friends that made this post is Regina. She's supper nice and funny. She'll just come with the most random things ever, that you just stay there and just look at her like what? and then just start laughing. She's one of the kindness person ever.

Picture of Regina and I. PC: Regina's mom

I think this is my top 5 friends. I'm really sorry if I didn't mention everyone. Still love ya people. That's it for this post, see ya guys. Thanks for reading.
