Crappy Poem.... ftw?

So i feel bad for not posting anything here for a while so i'm gonna post a crappy poem we had to write in english. the assignment was to write a 6 stanza free verse poem. Each stanza had to be a different memory from our childhood, so yup. Heres my poem... oh and don't make fun of me...

The play train, the presents, the food, the family
The play train circling around the tree
The play train with Santa on the back
Christmas eve dinners, with the family

Waiting in line, to get on the ride
At Disney World waiting in line for Splash Mountain
At Disney World for the first time
Waiting, riding, having fun

Swimming in the pool
Swimming underwater
Ready to jump, plugging my nose
Falling to the bottom and shooting back up

Pink tutu, pink tights, pick ballet shoes
Twirling and leaping on stage
Recieving a golden trophy
My first time dancing on stage

First day of school, nervous, shaking
Holding and hiding behind my mom's leg
Finally letting go and walking in the room
Meeting new people, and making friends

Nigh falls, and the tent is ready
Everyone huddles near the fire
Trying to keep warm, surronded by friends
No sleep that night.

and thats the crappy poem. Happy Reading, and have a good week <33

Highschool Love?

Highschool Love. I have no expertise in this topic, as i have had no boyfriends yet in my life. Or even go on a date for that matter. But i'm not complaining just telling the truth i guess. Even though i have no first hand knowledge i know many people who have been successful AND the downright opposite. I know one couple who has been dating since 6th grade, still together and still happy. Then i know another girl who has been cheated on, taken advantage of and turned into someone she is not because of a guy. Now to get to the point of the post.

Love. Its a strong thing and i definitely believe highschool girls and boys can feel it, but sometimes i'm never sure. Some girls fawn over a guy for months and months, they finally go on a date and realize there is no spark. Or they don't go on that date and nothing happens, the girl moves onto a new guy in, it seems like a second.

Then there are the type of girls who are just friends with a guy when they realize maybe it could be something more... maybe they could take the chance and try the relationship deal. Two of my friends have had this happen and work. One has been going out for about half a year and the other one about 3 months and going to prom together. But how do you become a friend with a guy? It might be just me, but guys are hard to be friends with.

Then there are those poor girls, and i know one very well who gets played by the guy. One friend of mine started to go out with a guy to find out she was the OTHER girl, he was cheating on his girlfriend with her. He then broke up with the other girl to be with my friend. But how does she trust him? and apparently their "happy" but like i believe that for a second. Guys can be jerks, most of the time in high school they don't want you for you, they want you for something else. UNLESS you get the type of guy in my example above.

I was never interested in dating in high school. Guys are going to be guys. Once and a while yes you might a nice guy, but for me at least hasn't happened. But then come to think of it i don't really want a guy in my life. I know that sounds stupid i'm a high school girl whose sleepover's consist of the truth question, "Who do you like?" "Who do you think is hot?" but i guess it never occured to me. YES if a hot nerdy guy liked me, hell ya i would go out with him. Well of course i would have to like him back. But if he's nerdy i'm SURE we would get along great. But at the moment in time i'm fine where i am, i have my friends and family. And thats good enough for now.
