One Thing That Has Gone Drastically Wrong This School Year

I have just started my junior year in high school. So far, schoolwork has gone pretty smoothly. Normally I wake up around 5:30, to be able to get to band practice by 7. Although waking up is hard, this isn't hardest thing that has been going on this year. Normally, I come into school at 7 am, to the smell of tar. And I'm not talking just a little in certain spots. I mean an overwhelming smell throughout the entire school. And get this, this is still isn't the worst part. There are two things that have happened to my school, and they all come from one source: the roof people.

First came the flood. So yesterday, we had this REALLY BIG storm. Like, I thought Jesus was coming for us. But, it wasn't as if I was just sitting by the window watching it come on by. I was in it. Carrying metal poles. Needless to say, it was scary. However, this isn't the end of it. Our school decided it just wanted to fill up with water. Stairways were completely under water.

Then came the fire. Today, I walked into my 5th-period class, and we couldn't see anything because it was filled with smoke. Immediately, everyone started to panic. But it's fine because we didn't COMPLETELY evacuate. I mean, while the entire fire department was at my school, we were still inside, getting our math on. But it's fine because I'm not bitter about it at all.

Like I said, the school year has had a few drawbacks. But, it isn't the end of the world. I am determined to laugh at this in a few years. In fact, I'm already laughing at it now. Thanks CHS for making junior year TAR-iffic.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
