Bri’s adventure to rediscover herself.
[QUICK!] Questions?!?
So I’m browsing around the internet, trying to decide what my next theme week will be, and I got an idea. Would you all be interested in a week of story beginnings? Like, I’d give you the first scene or chapter of a story that I’ll probably never finish but think are cool anyways. It’d definitely be a writing stretch for me. Would that interest you at ALL?
What about a “How To” week? It could be cool/funny/insightful. I actually like that one. I’m doing it NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY.
And just because I’m kind of killing time, here are my top books series that you should check out.
1. Harry Potter. Duh.
2. A Great and Terrible Beauty. If you like magical victorian age stories and sarcasm. Also, if you are a girl.
3. The Princess Diaries. Don’t judge me. These books are hillarious and surprisingly honest.
4. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Same as above, although less hillarious.
5. Song of the Lioness quartet. Alanna the Lioness was the first in this series. If you’re a girl and like medieval fantasy, this is for you.
kaljfakfha I have to meet my mom at the burrito place now. Ciao!
[Day 323] Surviving High School Tip #7: Club/ appearance guide
First off, happy 18th birthday, Thomas Craig! Since this is my last tip day, I had to scrunch together both of these topics even though they kind of have nothing to do with each other. But I think they’re both important when in the search for a way to survive the awful experience that is high school. Continue reading “[Day 323] Surviving High School Tip #7: Club/ appearance guide”
[Bri 2.0 BONUS!] Harry Potter vs. Twilight
A few days ago, after my Marooned Week blog about Harry Potter, an anonymous commenter requested that I spend some time discussing the Harry Potter/Twilight controversy. “Could you please do a blog on the whole Twilight vs. Harry Potter debacle? For example the popularity of the movies vs the books etc.” Continue reading “[Bri 2.0 BONUS!] Harry Potter vs. Twilight”
[Day 322] Surviving High School Tip #6: Study Hall
This post is actually about both study hall and releases, but I’m trying to make my titles less wordy. I don’t know how your school will handle these periods, so I’m just going to have to assume that every school works the way mine does. If yours doesn’t, you’re on your own. But there might be something useful here, so read on. Continue reading “[Day 322] Surviving High School Tip #6: Study Hall”
[Day 321] Surviving High School Tip #5: Lockers
When I was in 8th grade, my school didn’t have a locker for me, so I had to carry all of my books and papers with me to every single class. That’s not an existence you want, kids. If you have one, use your locker.
But some people misuse this crucial high school resource, and that’s a shame. Continue reading “[Day 321] Surviving High School Tip #5: Lockers”
[Day 320] Surviving High School Tip #4: Seating Choice
There’s a lot to the psychology of picking a seat in class. My school was pretty overcrowded, so every class had from fifteen to sometimes even thirty kids. If your school generally has small class sizes, then this post might not really apply to you. But it might. I dunno. Continue reading “[Day 320] Surviving High School Tip #4: Seating Choice”
[Day 319] Surviving High School Tip #3: Writing Utensils
This tip might seem a little silly at first, especially because it’s so basic. But trust me, it’s more than absolutely necessary. It’s essential.
Tip: Always have extra pens/pencils. Like, four extra. At least. This year, I had a pencil bag stuffed full of lead, extra mechanical pencils, and pens. Continue reading “[Day 319] Surviving High School Tip #3: Writing Utensils”
[Bri 2.0 BONUS!] In Defense of Twilight
Note from 2020: I won’t be editing this post but since it’s been getting a handful of views recently, please do keep in mind it was posted in 2010. I was 18 years old. I do not care about your opinions on Twilight and I barely care about my own. This lives on as an archive, not as a stated continued opinion or interest. If you want to know what my current interests are, check out my portfolio here.
With Eclipse coming out today, I felt it would be a good time to discuss a topic that’s been bugging me for a while. It seems like almost every self-proclaimed literature nerd on the internet absolutely hates the Twilight series, sometimes spilling over as a hatred for the author as well. And I think this is silly. So I thought that a post about why hating Twilight is stupid might be a good idea. If you don’t want to read it, though, I’ve included a video at the bottom of this post essentially saying the same thing as this post will. Continue reading “[Bri 2.0 BONUS!] In Defense of Twilight”
[Day 318] Surviving High School Tip #2: Taking Notes
Regardless of what classes you take, eventually there will be a need for you to take notes. And note-taking will be in many forms, each with its own special rules. If you’re like me, you hate taking notes more than almost anything else. But I’ll be the first to admit that sometimes, they really are needed.
