High school during lunch

A high school experience told through mozzarella sticks.

High school during lunch


Yay, I'm so excited!! My first lunch period in High school. I heard great things about it. I also heard they give large portions, and it's hard to eat them. But my parents said this school has the best lunch, so I went along with what they said. Before going to the cafeteria, I watched many YouTube videos on how to eat effectively and calmly. Some things I learned is that you can't eat it straight away. You got to divide the time and can't procrastinate in eating it since we have limited time.



The lunch lady gave me my lunch tray with four big mozzarella sticks, some fruits, some dessert, and some green vegetables, which I hated. I couldn't believe the size of them. In other schools, they are medium size, but these are BIG. They were filled with lots of materials( double layers of bread with a golden top and inside was (from what I have heard) filled in with hot white cheese that melts your mouth. Let's see if I can finish them.

Mozzarella #1: This one was easy and delicious. It didn't have a lot of bread on top. I enjoyed it because I made new friends and quite a while to finish. My friends and I exchanged snacks and helped each other out with anything.

Mozzarella #2: This one was a bit big. And I was getting a bit full. Some of my friends tried to hide it because they are already too lazy to finish it. But the lunch lady caught them and yelled at them. She gave them the whole speech on how this is important for students and you don't eat, you are going to be hungry all the time, and you are going to beg people for a piece of food. I hate this because this is so annoying. They say the same thing over and over again. If I had a penny for how many times they asked me what I'll have for dinner, I'd be rich!! Like how am I supposed to know that? I just started eating my mozzarella stick. Give us a break!!!

Mozzarella #3: Ok, so I know I said before that they were all big, but THIS was big. There were many materials on it, and they gave us a small amount of time to finish it. On top of that, we had to eat that disgusting, wretched blob of vegetables. Apparently, according to the lunch ladies, it's essential to eat it, and it's going to help you during your dinner.

I almost threw away this material. My body was hurting, and my mind was disorganized and stressed out. I cried because it was too much. I was mad that the lunch lady expected us to finish all this in a short amount of time. AND FOR WHAT?!? So parents can see you did food and give you a good dinner. I just can't anymore. I almost gave up until my friends gave me reinforcement. After I was finished, my friends told me that the next one would be a lot easier.

I'm looking forward to that.

Mozzarella #4: This was the most excellent mozzarella stick I ever had. Even better than the first one. The lunch ladies gave us a small amount since they sat how much we ate. Some people got mozzarella-itis. They got lazy and procrastinated on eating it. I kind of got it and didn't care since all the hard work was counted in the first 3. This last one was a piece of cake. (they also gave us a piece of cake). Savored the last and bite and thought about this lunch period and the four sticks I ate. I thank all the lunch lady and friends that helped through the way.

If you don't feel like you can finish your mozzarella stick, don't give up fight hard. Ask for help. Everything will be alright.

The bell rang, and lunchtime was over. Time to go to college and eat excellent stuff : )

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
