Counting Down The School Days

School is finally coming to an end. The summer vibes are quickly overwhelming students, making them procrastinate even more than before. Even worse, teachers are starting to hand out and discuss finals. If your grade is at the borderline, you are going to need to study your brains out to ace that final in order to bump the grade up. Yes, you probably cringe at the thought of studying for hours while your friends are out getting ice cream and watching a movie. But in the end, you will be the one with the better grade because you studied. Remember you have all summer to have fun; sacrifice two weeks to study. You will not regret it. Here are a few tips to help you keep in good shape as your current school year comes to an end:
      1. Do your homework. Even if your grade is solid, every point counts! 
            2. Be on time to school. That extra five minutes of sleep is nice, but you don’t want the tardies to add up and lead to detention!   
            3. Do all the Extra Credit. It can be the difference between an A and a B!

Keep working hard girls!

The Friend-Zone

Okay ladies listen up,

This is a topic that every girl goes through: when a guy wants to be more than friends, but you don't. AKA, the friend zone.
This is always an awkward situation for the girl and the guy. But today, we will write about this situation from the girls perspective, assuming she is the friend zoner.

So what are the best ways to friend zone a guy? We all have been though this, and there really is no good way to do it. But though experience, we have come up with the top 5 best ways to friend zone a guy

1. Call him "dude" or "buddy" and "bro"  over text. This drops the hint without making it harsh.
2. Talk to him about the boy that you could be interested in. This lets him know that you are not interested in him, and shows that you just want to be friends.
3. Straight up tell him. Just say "okay _____, we need to talk. I don't know how you feel about me, but I see you as one of my closest guy friends, and nothing more than that."
4. Just avoid him. Stop responding to texts and have as little communication as possible. This is one of the harshest of them all, but it gets the point across.
5. Try to set him up with someone else. It works best if it is one of your friends.

Okay so these are the best ways to friend zone a guy. These are all coming from both a girl's experience and the input of one of my guy friends that I friend zoned ahaha

Summer

Summer is coming up here in just a few weeks! But before that we need to finish out the school year strong. These next few weeks are always overwhelming with tests, finals, and getting every grade to the best it can be. This is easier said then done. The weather is getting hotter and the summer vibe is setting in! Most kids are ready for some time off from school and ready to have an amazing summer. Flip flops, shorts, swimming, and vacation. These are some of the major things floating through these teenagers minds. Finals week is approaching us soon, this is one of the most important and stressful times of the year. First semester was a little easier in many ways. Most classes only cover one semester worth of material, and you are only getting a few weeks off, not months. This second semester is the end to the year, and most finals cover the whole year of what you have learned this increase the pressure to keep up your grades, or improve them. Once this is done you can finally relax!! This summer will be one for the books. Leave some comments of what you have planned. Every one have a successful finals week and an amazing summer.

PROM 2K14

Hey followers! How have you guys been? :) Well, prom was this weekend and it was SO much fun! It was definitely the best school dance I've been to so far. I had such a great time. My prom group had great people in it, and we all had a fantastic night. We took pictures at 4:30 at the local pond for our school. Then we went back to one of the kids in our groups house for more pictures. Boy does his house have an amazing view! It has an amazing view of the whole entire town. After pictures, we headed off to dinner at a pizza place downtown. Everyone enjoyed that. The boys also enjoyed watching the basketball game on the big screen. Then we left dinner and headed off to the dance. The dance was in the ballroom of one of the local colleges. There was also food and drinks, and casino games to entertain everyone. After they crowned the prince, princess, king and queen, we left the dance and drove around on our party bus for a little. Overall, prom was such an amazing night and everyone had an awesome time. If prom is coming up at your school, I definitely recommend that you go!! You won't regret it.

PROM

Hello there fellow bloggers!
We haven't been blogging for a while now, but we are back!

So we decided that our next post should be… PROM!!!

Prom: the best dance of the year! Prom at our school is a huge deal, full of drama and excitement. At our school, prom is a dance where only juniors and seniors are allowed. No underclassmen! Unless an upperclassmen asks a freshman or sophomore to prom…which happens quite often!

One of the most exciting parts about prom for girls is getting a dress! Fun colors, sparkles, designs. All important factors to having the most stunning dress out there. Most people buy their own dress from prom, but it also a great idea tomorrow or rent one! after all, you are only gong to wear the dress one time! Hair and makeup on prom night is always flawless. Girls have updos or long, curled locks, or perfectly straightened hair. it is a great idea to get makeup (and maybe hair) done by a professional! You got to be looking stylish for that special night!

Attached are some stunning dress ideas and hair styles!

We hope everyone that is going to prom has an unforgettable night, full of pictures and memories that will last a lifetime. High school only comes once in a lifetime, so make some memories!

Parties

Parties. Every high school has them. Whether you're hosting it or attending, here are special guidelines to having a great night.

Girl Code for throwing a party:

1) Pick a theme.
Choosing a theme creates excitement and starts the party off on the right foot.
2) Don't go overboard on decorating
Streamers, a few balloons, and food is the perfect amount of decor. Too many supplies can be a waste of money and lead to a huge mess.
3) Make a guest list.
No one wants a bunch of randoms at the party. They tend to crash it- making the party have out of control with people that you don't know or even don't like.
4) Don't invite people who won't enjoy themselves.
We know all that girl who sits on her phone in the corner of the party. She obviously isn't enjoying herself so maybe next time you shouldn't invite her.
5) Food.
Food is an essential part of a good party. Purchase chips, pizza, cookies, any kind of junk food and you're set.

Girl Code for attending a party:

1) Wear appropriate clothing.
It usually gets warmer at inside parties, so sweatshirts are not the ideal clothing choices. However, this does not mean dress inappropriately- that will attract the wrong crowd (unless that's what you're looking for)
2) Don't bring people that weren't invited.
There is an exception, if you ask the host/hostess if your friend can come and they allow it, you may bring them. Otherwise, go with friends that were originally invited to avoid conflicts.
3) Have fun.
You're at a party, have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Friendships



Hello Followers! Today were going to be talking about something very serious: FRIENDSHIPS!

Friendships can be a very serious topic for many people. Your friends are the people who make you who you are. Your friends are the ones who are always there for you, even when everyone else isn't. The definition of a friend is a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection. Sometimes friendships can be difficult. Sometimes other friends or boys can even come between you and another friend. Here are some girl codes about friendships that could benefit you and your friends relationships:

Girl Code #1: DON'T EVER LET A BOY COME BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR BEST FRIEND. It will never end well and most of the time the boy wins.... sadly.

Girl Code #2: Always tell your friends how you are feeling. Your friends can help you solve all your issues and help you achieve happiness again.

Girl Code #3: Put aside special time for you and your friends. We all know our lives can be crazy, but spending time with friends is important. Maybe once a week, set aside some time to meet your friends to just catch up and talk outside of school and keep each other updated on your lives.These friendships will last the rest of your lives.


Don't forget to check out our blog next week and hear about how Sadie's went!

Valentines Day!

Ladies…. and guys too, Valentine's Day is approaching very quickly. In fact it's only 2 days away. Still don't know what you and your valentine should do together? No worries! We've got some tips for you! Valentine's Day is a day to show everyone how much you love them and how much they mean to you. February 14th only comes once a year. Guys.. heres how we envision a perfect valentine's day.

Sam wakes up on Valentine's Day and looks at her phone to see that her boyfriend of 1 year had texted her a good morning Valentine's day text. He tells her that tonight he plans to take her to their favorite restaurant, and after that, he has a surprise for her, he is going to take her to the place where they first met and relive that happy moment again.

Guys, Valentine's Day doesn't have to be expensive. Sure girls love chocolate and flowers and jewelry, but most of all they're just happy that they can spend the day with their valentine. If your budget is tight, how about a collage of the places where you guys first met, or had your first kiss. How about a little gift basket of a few of her favorite things, like favorite candy and maybe her favorite movie?

Girls, the same goes for you too. Valentines Day is about showing your valentine how much you love and care for them. If your budget is tight, how about a gift basket too? Or maybe a cool new tshirt or maybe a cool pair of socks? Maybe bake him something too! You do know that they best way to a mans heart is through his stomach. ;) They seem to be the new latest trend lately! And who could go wrong with   a nice handwritten card? Write some of your inside jokes down if you two have any and when they read the card they wil laugh.

And what if you don't have a Valentine or a special someone? That doesn't mean anything! Our friends all like to get each other some candy or some chocolates, and we write each other notes on Valentine's Day just to show how much we mean to each other, and how important our friendship is to one another! Maybe get a group of your friends together and go see that new movie "Endless Love"! Thats what we plan on doing!

We hope you guys enjoyed our blog and if you have any tips on how to make Valentine's Day perfect for your Valentine comment down below! Thank you so much for reading, and stay tuned for the next blog! :)

Still not sure what to do? Heres some ideas on how to make your Valentine's Day perfect: http://www.familylife.com/articles/topics/holidays/featured/valentines-day/25-valentines-day-ideas-for-couples#.UvxGWf3BFuY

 HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY <3

What To Wear

The group is settled, tickets are bought, and the plans are finally set.  It's now down to crunch time for Sadie's. The theme is dancing through the decades. You and your date need to pick a decade to dress as. This decision is not as easy as it seems. There are so many options! As a girl it's pretty easy to dress up, for a boy it's much harder and can be even more expensive. The Sadie Hawkins dance is normally very informal. Some themes work great for being informal, others not so much. Some of the girls wanted to go with the theme "roaring twenties". So the girls would go in flapper dresses , boys would go in a tux. As much fun as that theme would be, it would not be fair for boys. Prices of a tux are very expensive and for an informal dance that may be too much. The girls want to be considerate and pick something simple, yet fun. We settled on the fifties. The girls are going as pink ladies, and the boys are going as Greasers. This is easy to find and buy without being to hard. Everything is finally settling into place and we are ready to have some fun!!

Sadies is coming up!!!

Sadie's is in three weeks!! There is still so much to get done: dinner reservations, location for pictures, and of course outfits.
 Everyone wants to eat at different places causing complete chaos. You need to make sure everyone is okay with the chosen restaurant, but there comes a point where someone needs to make a decision. Who makes the decision? That's the tough part.
Picture can be taken at someone's house, a park, or a popular place around town with a scenic view.
 The theme is Dancing through the Decades, so like poodle skirts, hippies, and greasers. So far our ideas include 80s work out people, flapper girls, and/or pink ladies.

Be sure to check out or blog for more tips, advice and suggestions. Feel free to comment if you have questions!

More Drama with the Sadie Hawkins...

 Well, the Sadie's drama is still among us at our school. Everything worked out for the best, and they're all very excited for the dance. The theme is Dancing through the Decades. The group were all going in wants something fun and exciting to dress up as. We want the whole school to be like "WOW! Come on, how come we didn't think of that idea!"

The dance should be a fun time for everyone. They should be able to enjoy their stress- free night with all their friends, dressed in their favorite decades attire. Here some tips that we've gathered from our past experiences at dances that will help you guys have a memorable and enjoyable night:
  1. Don't ditch your date at the door. Enjoy your dates company, but don't feel like you have to be around them the whole entire night.
  2. Pick something to wear that will look good, but also be comfortable to dance in and abide by the dress code.
  3. Don't crowd surf. Even though it looks fun, you will most likely get kicked out for safety reasons and it will ruin the night for you and your date. 
Need some ideas on how to ask someone to the dance? Here is a few we found on Pintrest. Check out the link: http://www.pinterest.com/daxie2265/sadies-ideas/

The Sadie Hawkins Dance

Sadie's...one of the most stressful dances for girls. As you probably all know, this dance is where the girls ask the guys. Our Sadie Hawkins dance is in about a month, and the drama is at a peak. Girls are already starting to ask their dates, yet the dance is still far away. The claws are coming out. Girls get ready to get feisty.
Each year, someone always has to cause problems.

Girl Code #1: Never ask a boy that one of your friends is already planning on asking. Unless, of course, you want to start drama. At my school, Sadie's drama is always an issue. Who is going with who, who wants to go with who, and who doesn't want to go with who...because you don't want to ask someone who doesn't want to go with you. All of this is already a problem at our school.
Girl Code #2: Always ask the boy in a creative way. No one wants to be asked with a boring idea. But one of the hardest ideas about Sadie's is coming up with a clever idea that no one else is using. Puns are always a two thumbs up.
Girl Code #3: Make sure to make plans early. Figure out dates an groups as soon as possible. Also, figure out who is going where before the dance, and after the dance. This avoids unnecessary drama that could ruin the night. Also, ask a boy who you will have a good time with! It is never good to have an awkward date...it only leads to more drama.




Comment below your opinions on this situation: one of many that girls have to go through each and every day.

Welcome to the life of your average teenage girl.
