Maybe My Final Post

   Well this might be my last post but even though it was a assignment I  had a lot of fun writing these blogs. I learned so much making this blog for example,  I learned how to make a blog! The year was great it had its ups and downs but all went well.

   So to wrap up the year I want to wish the upcoming freshman lucky because I have been writing a lot about freshman year and how to prepare for it. I thought it would be the most easiest subject to talk about because I am a freshman.

If you want me to continue doing my blog please comment below! :) P.S Thanks for visiting my blog!

Summer Time!

   Summer is almost here so I wanted to make a list of fun activities to do. I'm going to try to do all of these with my closest friends.

I plan to do some of these activities too. Here is the list below:

1. Water Ballon Fight: Fill water balloons with ice cold water, make sure you all have the same amount, then go to different sides of the yard and THROW!! 

2. Messy Twister: Get an old Twister mat. You can either do this activity with paint or whipped cream and food coloring. If you use whipped cream just mix it with food coloring. Pour the substance on the dots and PLAY!! 

3. Minute to Win it: Host your own 'Minute to Win It' game show. Have you seen the show 'Minute to Win It'? It's pretty awesome and involves a variety of simple games that you have to try to complete within one minute. Get your friends together; setup a bunch of games, and play. If you really want to make a spectacle of it, do it on your driveway, so all your neighbors can be entertained.

4. Beach Party: Invite a bunch of people to the beach. Have them bring food or you can bring food. Get a spot big enough for all your people. Have music that everyone listens to and HAVE FUN!! 

5. Prank Calling: Get your phones and go to the dial pad. Dial random numbers who people you know and call them saying something ridiculous. (BE SURE TO DAIL *67 BEFORE ENTERING THE NUMBER) It's funnier if you use an accent of some type. 

6. Go camping: Invite a bunch of your friends to go camping. You don't have to go camping in the woods—if you'd rather you can camp out in your backyard or even the beach. If you are going to go camping in the park or backyard, have a barbecue or picnic. If you are camping at the park see if you can go fishing if there is a pond there. If you are going to go camping at the beach or park make sure that you are allowed to camp out in those areas. I'm an Athletic Trainer for my school and we are all planing to go on a camping trip together to bond. So grab a few friends and bring your camping gear!

7. Ballon Messages: Get helium filled balloons with long strings. Write letters on them with your instgram, kik, or twitter and tell them to message you if they find it. Tie it to the balloon and let it go. (My friends and I are doing this on the last day of school).

8. Go Paintball: Invite a big group of friends to go paintball and then have a HUGE war! (I want to do this so bad!)

9. Movie Marathon: Have a movie marathon at your house or at a friends how and choose a genre for the night! For example, a TV series your friends and you like, a Disney Movie Marathon, or a Scary Movie Marathon.

   I hope this list helped a little bit. Comment below and tell me what you plan to do over the summer! Have a amazing summer! :D

Tips for Upcoming Freshman

   Well the year is almost over and if you read my first post it says this was a class assignment so after this I might not post anything else. So I wanted to prepare you upcoming freshman for what going to happen once you enter the doors of High school and since I'm a freshman at the moment you'll be getting real advice.

1. No one will get the 8 hours of sleep doctors recommend and that includes the teachers. I get around 4 hours of sleep but I sleep through my 6th period sometimes, so that counts as 5 hours.

2. When it comes to lunch time your going to have a clique, your going to be a wonderer, or your going to be the studier. (If you want to read my lunchtime story look at the post called "Lunchtime").

3. The upperclass men are not welcoming. Some freshman think the upperclassmen will help you if your lost on the first day? Well your wrong. Next year I know a lot of freshman coming so of course I'm going to help them.

4. DO YOUR WORK! I'm really recommend you do you work on time because on the last few weeks of school and you got a D some teachers don't give changes to redo your work.

5. If your one of the lazy students that don't do there work, do it. In my school you either have to retake the class online or take summer school and that's not fun.

6. This is the most important time of the year. Colleges don't look back at your middle school grades. They look at your high school grades. So focus on your work.

7. Be true to yourself because if your not high school will be the worst years of your life.

8. Have fun and make memories. 

   And those are my tips to you up coming freshman. I hope you take this advice to account. Please comment below if you have any questions about high school! If you have any ideas on what my next article should be write a comment below! :)

High Schools Should Start Later

   Would teens be better off with later school hours? How would it effect us? Would it change the meaning of school? These days high school students are not getting the right amount of sleep we need to be functioning properly in the daytime. I believe high schools should start later because students would get more rest and be more focused in school.

   First of all, I believe high schools should start later because students will get more rest. A lot of teenagers attending early starting school go in a sleep-deprived state. There are consequences for starting school early like severe physical and mental health, as well as how we function inn the daytime. Teens are requires to have at least 8 hours of sleep in order to function properly. " In Minnesota, they changed school times to a more later time and that resulted in eating breakfast more frequently and gaining an average of about one hour per night, since their bed times stayed the same even after the start time changed", reported by The National Sleep Foundation. In my old middle school, school started at 8:50 am through 3:50 and in those years I woke up feeling well-rested and ready for the day.

   Last of all, I believe high schools should start later because students would be more focus during school. "Students would be able to complete homework during school hours, because they were more alert and efficient during the day", reported The National Sleep Foundation. Students who's schools start later are getting more sleep, report greater motivation, and less depression, preform better academically, and demonstrate better performance in attention level. A personal experience of mine was when I was in middle school. In my middle school, I had better grades than I do now and I paid more attention during class because I wasn't so tired all the time. A little extra shut-eye can go a long way!

   I believe high schools should start later because students would get more rest and be more focused during school, This topic should matter because teens need more rest to function properly. We are not sleeping the amount of time we need but this problem is not only for teens. It's for the adults that work hard everyday just to come home for more work with their family. So changing school times are not just for the students, it's for the teachers too.

Maleficent is Coming!

   So I'm so excited for the new movie Maleficent because I love Disney movies. I'm a 4 year old stuck in a 15 year old body (I know, I'm weird) and I love looking for the "Easter Eggs" in Disney movies. If you don't what Disney movie "Easter Eggs" are, check out my blog post titled "Frozen's Easter Egg". In the article it will explain what an "Easter Egg" is and while your looking at the article, you can look at Frozen's "Easter Egg". Here's a link: http://123everythingteens.blogspot.com/2014/03/frozens-easter-egg.html  Anyways, the movie comes out May 30, 2014 and here is the trailer:

Summary:

   The untold story of Disney's most fearsome villain comes to life in this dark fantasy starring Angelina Jolie as the Maleficent. As a young girl, Maleficent possessed radiant beauty and a pure heart. Her life in a quiet forest kingdom was a happy one until a fateful day when invading humans carved chaos throughout the land. Maleficent's selfless heroism during those dark times would become the stuff of legend, though it was an unspeakable act of betrayal that would ultimately shape her into the dreaded Mistress of All Evil. That evil transformation begins to take place when the vengeful Maleficent seeks to defeat the noble invader's successor, and places a curse on his infant daughter Aurora. Later, Maleficent discovers that the child she once cursed may possess the power to not only pull her back from the dark side, but to restore the peace in their battle-scarred land as well.

High School Lunchtime!

   When it comes to lunch time your going to have a clique, your going to be a wonderer, or the studier. Here's a term box if you don't know what they mean:

-A clique is a group of friends you hang out with all the time. Those are the most common type of people.

-A wonderer is a person who is everywhere. There the person who everyone knows even if the person isn't Mr. Popularity. 

-The studier- your going to be the person who is normally in tutoring. 

My Lunchtime Story

   In the beginning of high school I was in a clique. I didn't know a lot of people so I hanged out with an old friend of mine and her best friend. At first it was fun because they were the social girls but I felt so out of place. I hanged out with them for about 3 months and I felt so wrong hanging out with them. 

   So then I became a wonderer I was in and out of that clique, I when to tutoring, and I was hanging out with another clique. So after that I joined that other clique and I had so much fun. I felt that was the place where I'm suppose to be. But then everyone started fighting, dating, and leaving. So eventually it was just my friend Brandi, so then Brandi joined another clique and I became the studier.

   Being the studier doesn't make you a nerd, it just shows your dedication to your grades. So I started staying in my math class for lunch because I struggle in math and then I became friends with the teacher. It was so fun in math tutoring. A lot of people went just to talk to him but then he went to go teach in another school. So I didn't go to tutoring as much.

   Then my friend Brianna started hanging out with me, she's the total opposite to me but we get along perfectly. So after that Brandi joined us so now I'm back in a clique but this one is just fine. I don't go to tutoring as much anymore but it's because I'm having so much fun with my new group. :)

So who are you? Are you in a clique? Are you a wonderer? Or are you a studier? Please comment below and tell me who are you. If you want me to blog about something else write it in the comments! :)

Frozen's "Easter Egg"

     Walt Disney Animation Studios presents a chilly twist on one of the most humorous and heartwarming stories ever told. It melted my heart.


     Fearless optimist Anna sets of on an epic journey, teaming up with rugged mountain man Kristoff and his loyal reindeer Sven (My mom laugh at the reindeer’s name because that’s my dad’s name), to find her sister Elsa, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter. Encountering Everest-like conditions, mystical trolls and a funny snowman named Olaf, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom.

     I watched it and I was so surprised by the outcome! So I was talking to my sister about the movie and she was telling me how she found the “Easter egg” theory on the internet. (My sister loves to find the “Easter Egg” ever since she was a little kid). If you don’t know what are “Easter eggs” in the Disney world, they are things that tie up all Disney movies together. My sister told me the theory of how Frozen, Tangled, and The Little Mermaid are all tied together.

Here's the theory:

   It all starts when Anna runs around the castle singing “For the First Time in Forever.” As she bursts out of the gates to people arriving for Elsa’s coronation, there is a moment where we can see her dance-walk by Rapunzel (after the haircut) and Flynn/Eugene.

   

Geographically, their attendance kind of makes sense because Tangled is supposedly set in Germany – after all Rapunzel is originally a German fairy tale and Frozen is set somewhere in Norway based on all the rosemaling and fjords.

   

    Apparently the reason why Rapunzel and Flynn/Eugene made an appearance at Elsa’s coronation was because the former King and Queen of Arendelle (the mother and father of Anna and Elsa) were on their way to Rapunzel and Flynn wedding. Sadly, there was a storm and the King and Queen of Arendelle died.

    Denmark is where The Little Mermaid is based and if you recall,( Look at the map) Ariel and Flounder spend some time exploring a shipwreck for dinglehoppers and thingamabombs. A shipwreck which could possibly be the remains of the very that was carrying Anna and Elsa’s parents.

(I like doing this type of post so I think i am going to do it more often.)

911 Text Messaging Service Coming in 2014

      The Federal Communications Commission says the nation's four largest wireless carriers have agreed to relay text messages to text-enabled 911 to most call centers in the United States by May 15, 2014.

     The four carriers, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon will launch the service in some parts of the U.S. in 2013, the Federal Communications Commission said. The wireless carriers have signed an agreement to make emergency texting available to more than 90 percent of American cellphone users by May 15, 2014.

    Most 911 centers can't receive text messages. But that doesn't always stop people from texting 911 in an emergency, not knowing their pleas for help won't be seen. For example, students in the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting tried texting police for help, but were unsuccessful at the time and that's why the Federal Communications Commission announced 911 text messaging because they believe they could save more lives. Students from the shooting we're trying to contact help by texting police but the police could see them so it sad knowing if we had 911 texting sooner maybe there lives would be saved said Brianna Heredia, freshman at University High School. Another situation was went a suburban Atlanta women died while waiting for an ambulance that a 911 operator sent to the wrong address because she was on her phone. If she had texted 911 would there had been a possibility of being saved. "Yes because they would have had the accurate address right in front of her" said Janet Detres, Deltona local.

     In the meantime, the carriers will make a  alert message warning anyone who sends a text to 911 that their message was not received, and that they should make a phone call instead.

     The Federal Communications Commission announced that it will continue working with the four major providers and web-based text providers to ensure that the Text-to-911 service is as universally available as possible. "I can't wait to see the difference in today's 911 calls for help and next years text for help" said Janet Detres, Deltona local.

Top 5 Roller Coasters in the U.S

     Theme parks are the best place to go for a fun and heart racing roller ride. Most teenagers like to go on roller coasters but there are ones that don't. For example, me. I went to websites, asked friends, and more and here are the results. Here are the top 5 with a little bit of information about them.

1. Millennium Force, Cedar Point (Sandusky, Ohio)

Since 2001, Millennium Force has been voted the number one steel roller coaster in the world eight times in Amusement Today's Golden Ticket Awards, and has never been ranked lower than number two since it opened in 2013. Millennium Force has switched the top position with Bizarro.

2. Bizarro, Six Flags New England (Agawan, Massachusetts)

Bizzaro has been voted the number one steel roller coaster in the world five times in Amusement Today's Golden Ticket Awards, and has never been ranked lower than number two since it opened in 2013. Bizzaro has switched the top position with Millennium Force.

3. Nitro, Six Flags Great Adventure (Jackson, New England)

It opened on April 7, 2001 as the fastest roller coaster inn New Jersey and the tallest on the East Coast of the United States. It has been ranked number three  in Amusement Today's Golden Ticket Awards best Steel Roller Coaster every year since 2007.

4. Top Thrill Dragster, Cedar Point (Sandusky, Ohio)

It was the tallest roller coaster in the world, before being surpassed by Kingda Ka in May 2005.

5. The Voyage, Holiday World (Santa Claus, Indiana)

The Voyage holds several records, including most air-time of any wooden roller coaster. In 2006, the Voyage won the award for Best New Ride at the Golden Ticket Awards. the Voyage was also ranked as the Best Wooden Roller Coaster by the Golden Ticket Awards from 2007 through 2011. As of 2012, the Golden Ticket Awards have ranked The Voyage as the second best wooden roller coaster in the world- a title it also held in 2006.

I will be making a post about the new roller coasters in 2014 but here is a link to a video on YouTube that has a few of the roller coasters that i might do reviews on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkDLUExgI3A&safe=active&noredirect=1.

Where are the Disney star's now?

     When we were a little younger than what we are now, we use to what things like Hannah Montana or High School Musical. But if we look at the stars of the shows or movies they have seem to change. No Disney stars are "bad" they just change. 

     Miley Cyrus was in the show Hannah Montana, the world adored her until 15 year old, Miley, shows the whole world a glimpse of her naughty side in July 2008. Then on August 2009, 16 year old, Miley took hold of the stripper pole at the Teen Choice Awards. On June 2010, she released the music video for "Can't be Tamed". Then she cut her hair... Now with all her new songs, people say that Hannah Montana is long-gone. What was the reason to change so fast and drastically. The whole dilemma on Miley Cyrus is because she was once a Disney star but there are before Disney stars out there in the music industry like her and there not making a big deal about them. But overall she is just expressing who she is now. People mature and change.

(I really didn't want to do this topic but a lot of people at my school were suggesting it so I decided I'd do it. I have no hate against Miley Cyrus. I will try do 'Where are the Disney star's now' every month because my teacher makes us add a blog post every other week. I am putting a lot of blog post this week because I haven't posted something lately and I need to have 11 posts by tomorrow. Wish me luck.)

Uniform or Dress Code?

    The Debate about high school dress codes revolves around whether students should wear school uniforms or allowed to attend school in their regular clothes. Uniforms have been in history for a long time but schools are starting to do dress code. Where I am living, mostly private schools use uniforms and public schools use dress code. Both uniforms and dress code have there advantages and disadvantages. Here are some below:

Uniforms

*Advantages

• Uniforms are cheaper than buying regular clothes.
• You can wake up later because you already know what your going to wear.
• No one can judge you because everyone is wearing the same thing.
• Shows school spirit.

*Disadvantages

• No Self-Expression 
• Certain schools with school uniforms are so strict that they refuse to let children with religious backgrounds wear items that are important to them.

Dress code

*Advantages

• You can express yourself.
• You seem to feel more free.
• Feel comfortable in what you wear.

*Disadvantages

• Makes teens think they can wear what ever they want.
• Wearing inappropriate clothing to school.
• Harder job for school administrators.

PlayStation 4 or the Xbox One?

There has been a lot of talk about which one's better, the PlayStation 4 or the Xbox One?

Both companies announced the respective consoles had sold one million consoles after the first day of availability.

Microsoft announced that they sold 3 million consoles so far; Microsoft's blog announced on Monday morning. But soon after, Sony announced that they sold 4.2 million consoles so far; President of Sony Computer Entertainment Andrew House announced during the company's CES press conference Tuesday.

But the truth of it all is that the PlayStation 4 was sold in 48 countries but the Xbox One was sold at four times less than the PlayStation 4 but there was only a one million dollars difference. If the Xbox Ones were sold more in the U.S, there would be a chance that Microsoft would had had bigger numbers. In February, Sony will start selling the PlayStation 4 in Japan. So that's going to add more numbers for Sony.

If you want either one, the PlayStation 4 sells for $399 and the Xbox One sells for $499. Comment and tell me which one you prefer.
