These are going to be bi-weekly from now on, just as a heads up!
This week's tip: Be spontaneous!
On Monday, my mom told me that I had a hair appointment on TUESDAY! This happens a lot, the last minute being told and all. I had been planning on getting bangs for a while but was still quite skeptic about it. But, as Tuesday afternoon rolled around, I decided I'd go with it! And it turned out great! Also, I spontaneously decided to go to a church party and to another church event this week and I'm so glad I did. I'd regret it like crazy if I hadn't done these things this week. So be spontaneous! It's worth it!
Happy spontaneousness!

Tip of the Week 4
This week's tip: Take the time to have fun!
I've been in a pretty big slump lately. Whether it's simply because I've been super busy, or for just sitting around kinds of reasons, it's been getting to me. So my mom suggested I take the time to hang with some friends! Today, I went to see 'Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs' and it was super, super fun! I had a blast and I really needed the break - regardless of my 4 homework assignments I have to do tomorrow. Not to mention my very messy room....
Happy fun-having! = )

Tip of the Week 3
Send me some E-mails!
This week's tip: Take the opportunities you have.
If there's one thing I've learned a relearned a million times, it's that you're going to benefit more from doing things than you are from sitting around doing nothing. For instance: do sports, clubs, activities, etc; go to parties, friends houses, hang-outs, etc. I've passed up a lot of things that I wish I could have done and I have a feeling you all have, too.
This fits into my life right now as I'm heading down to Long Island this weekend to check out a college and go see one of my mom's former student's sister in a play. I plan to go to this college after two years at a less expensive college and I've been wanting to check out the campus for quite some time. I saw this friend (the former student) at my homecoming last weekend and she offered for me to come with her. At first, I was beyond excited and immediately went to check my schedule. As the week progressed, I have become more and more skeptical of this trip, as I've never met this friend's family - or even her sister. She's also four years older than me, so it's a bit of an age difference. I have nothing against the girl and can't say I have anything against her family, having never met them, but It's just a little different to be so far away from home without my family and with people I don't necessarily know at a place I've never been. But right now, knowing my bag is half-packed upstairs, I already know I'm going to have a great weekend and I won't regret it. (I'll let you all know my success Sunday night.)
So please, don't say no to things because of time restrictions or skepticism. If you're truly debating it, chances are you'll regret it if you say no.
Happy venturing to whatever lies ahead!

Tip of the Week 2
Hey again to all!
This week's tip: Don't procrastinate.
Yes, I know you've all heard this many times before, but I'd just like to highlight the importance of this. For one, school is important! We all might hate it sometimes, but you can't get by in life without knowing at least the basic things they teach you. I know that some people have lives handed to them and they don't necessarily need to know anything, but for the other 99% of us, we need to learn things! And putting assignments off until last minute or not doing them at all is a bad choice. I've been procrastinating a lot lately, and I've been stressed out beyond repair because of it! (Hint: Stress gives you acne and makes you fat!) So get things done when you need to, and hopefully you'll have a good future ahead of you!
Good luck and happy learning!

Money Situation!
I got my first E-mail today! Thank you, Jenna! = )
So I'm in a situation where I'm preparing for college and saving almost everything I earn. I like music and books, but they're so expensive! I find deals online, but I can't use my parents' credit card. I also don't want to do anything illegal, like pirate music. Are there any places you know of to find music and books for low prices that is also nation-wide?
Jenna, CA, 17
Firstly, I'd say it's very smart of you to be saving EVERYTHING! So continue with that. And I agree, music and books are always much more expensive than you want them to be (especially with iTunes raising a lot of their prices!) One thing I like to do is loan and borrow books to and from my friends. It's a good way to save money, seeing as you won't have to buy half the books you want, and you'll get more input on your choice of books and your friends. Also, you can ask your friends to make CD's of music you or they like and have them give it to you. It's not illegal, as you can make CD's on iTunes and you can get any music off of any CD you have. It can be fun, as you can trade CD's back and forth, and you can find small amounts of CD's cheaply at Wal Mart or other stores like it. Another thing you can do for books is you can buy used books on Barnes and Noble. This does require a credit card, but if you find ones cheap enough, I'm sure your parents would be more apt to help out. You can also try your library, if you don't mind giving the books back when you're done. It might not be the happiest moment, when you hand them over the counter, but it'll save you lots of money!
Good luck with everything, Jenna!

Tip of the Week
I'm gonna start letting you guys in on some secrets of what's going on in my life. Each week I'll give you guys some quick advice on something that I've seen in my past week.
This week's tip: Don't fall in love with someone who only wants to be friends.
I've done this multiple times and every time it turns out badly. What I'm going to suggest is, when you decide you might like someone, find out where they stand. Wait until they determine if they just want to be friends. Don't necessarily stop flirting or do anything differently, but just wait until you know if you have a chance. In short tersm, don't get your hopes up.
Happy living and loving!
