Day 180: The End

                                                      
     Well, this is it.
     Im sitting at this familiar keyboard, staring at my title.
     "The End".
     Its Over.  This is the end of it.  I finished.  I really finished.  Not the way i had dreamt of, but who cares?  I did it.  I did the whole thing.
     There are 180 school days in each school year.  There are 180 days in this blog.
     I am currently watching the end of the movie Julie&Julia, as we speak.  It just happened to be on television tonight.  She just completed her blog.  Kind of a crazy coincidence, isnt it?  There is a God.
     Im crying.
     There are tears streaming down my face.  Im not even quite sure why.  Its the end of something, but the beginning of it all.
      Thank you.  You looked at the outfits, my commentary, my passions, my pressures.  You looked at it all.
      Thank you for being a viewer.
      Thank you for making me finish.
      Thank you.
      Im not sure whats next for me.  But as for maddy180days.blogspot.com, Im officially signing off.  Thank you.

Day 179: Writers Block

     I have nothing more to say that I can think of.  Ive pretty much put it all out on the table.  Everything Ive wanted to share that is appropriate, I have.  Thank you.

Day 178: June, July, August

     Summer.
     Its the time of the year where you dont have to give a care in the world.  No goals have to be set.  No craps have to be given.  You can have fun.
     Then September rolls around.

Day 177: Opposite of Me

                                           

     Normal.

     :)

Day 176: Mirror Pic

                                         
     I feel like a seventh grader taking a picture of myself in the mirror.  And the peace sign, ew.  It makes me feel young though.  Like I dont have to grow up.  Like I can occasionally pretend that college is a reality, like responsibility doesn't matter.  As if the world is still mine, and I dont have to care about what anyone else thinks or evaluates about me.
      I feel stronger than a seventh grader, however,  I can make my own choices.  My opinions are heard.  I can learn valuable things that I can apply.  I can teach myself.  Im older...

Day 175: Getting Lazy

                                        
     The Giants are my boyz.  Period.

Day 174: Real Talk


     In life, you have to be your biggest fan.  No one else will be.  Believe in more than who you are.  Dream Big.

Day 173: Define X

                                          
     Math is 1+1=2.  That equation will always eequal 2.  No matter how many times you try and flip it around or move it, 1+1 will always equal 2.
     Thats math.
     Math is a mandatory subject in school that teaches you how to solve equations so you can know how to do so later in life.  There will be one answer for the end result of an equation.  A right answer.
     Life isnt like math.  In life, you have choices.  These choices can lead to different outcomes, but eventually you will have to make a choice.  It may not be the right choice, but unlike math, you cant start over and find the correct outcome.  Your choices become permanent.
     In life, you will make the wrong choices.  Whether that means the difference between sticking to a diet, or trusting a boy, or jeopardizing a friendship.  Some choices wont be easy.  You dont have to make these choices alone.
     Math may have a solution, but when defining X, the outcome can be drastically altered.  For the good, or for the bad.

Day 172: College Prompts... The 91st Page of my Memoir

                                          
   
     ...and just when the world thought the blog was done and over, she finished.  She did it for herself. She proved to herself that she could finish something fully and completely without giving up...  

Day 171: The 11th


It could never quite make the top ten.

11.  People.

Just kidding?

Day 170: My Top Ten


1.  Hashtags
2.  SF Giants
3.  Chinning
4.  Aquatic Sports (Anti-Land Sports)
5.  Fanny Packs
6.  Pie
7.  All Things Harry Potter
8.  The Great Indoors
9.  Team Edward
10.  Impressionism

Day 169: Sensitivity


I was born into a family that likes to say whats on their minds.  Its almost like I was trained to never hold anything back.  I have a tendency to just start talking, and sometimes I dont realize what Im saying.  I dont mean to hurt peoples' feelings with the words I say, but some people are just so sensitive that they misinterpret what Im trying to get across.  Ive been called Big Mouth for most of my life, and I guess that makes sense, but nobody ever said that was a bad thing.

Day 168: Circle of Life

     Seniors> Juniors> Sophmores> Everything else ever> Freshman.
     Poor Freshman.  My sister is a freshman this year.
     I wish that they were a little further up in the food chain, but I guess thats just how it goes.  It a cycle.  Eventually they will be seniors and get the privilege we do.  And eventually I will be a freshman in college, right back on the bottom.  Bottom of the food chain, yet again.  They probably dont have a huge social status in college though.  Not the killer popularity strugz like high school.  Everything in high school is so dramatic.  I dont mind it though.  I like high school.

Day 167: Swimming


     I may not be the best, or the fastest, or the one who wins the races, but when I swim, I feel free.
     Swimming is something that Im good at and I wouldnt trade it for the world.  Acting is obviously my true passion, but I couldnt go a long time without jumping in a pool.  Im a very competitive person with myself, and swimming is a very good way for me to set goals for myself.
     Like this blog.  We all know how that turned out...

Day 166: Technology


     Apple recently came out with their new iPhone.  I saw the features of the new iPhone and I thought they were alright, but nothing super new or different.  They features were... Predictable... Expected...
     I can not possibly think of what else people can think of.  I feel as if technology will...Come to a sudden stop.  The gadgets that are out nowadays are incredible.  Id be stumped to think of anything else.

Day 165: FAQ's

     When senior year approaches, there are a couple frequently asked questions that you will get everywhere you go, no matter what, always.
     1.  Are you thinking about college?
     2.  What colleges are you applying to?
     3.  Do you have a boyfriend yet?

     I think all of my answers are generally disappointing to most people who ask.

Day 164: Boy Bands


     In the 80's, there was New Edition.
     In the 90's there was N'Sync.
     In the early 2000's, we had the Jonas Brothers.
     Now, we have One Direction.
     One Direction.  Let me tell you something about One Direction.  I just cant get enough of them.  Heres the thing, when they first came around I promised myself I wouldnt get sucked in like the typical teenage girl, ya know?  I was completly satisfied with my Justin Beiber posters, and I frankly didnt have the time to be obsessed with this new mystery group.
     But then I heard their voices.  Their beautiful, wonderous voices that filled the room when ever they came on the radio.
     And then I saw their faces.  That was it.  They were beautiful.  No five boys have ever been so good looking, and they are all in one place at one time.  Its not even real, except for it is...
     Its official, Im the typical teenage girl.

Day 163: Fun Bun

     Doing my hair is one of the most tedious things.  If I go one day without doing my hair, then I get into this funk where I dont do my hair the next day.  And then dont do it the next day.  Or the next day.  Then i resort to the fun bun.
     The Fun Bun is the bun that sits on top of a girls head and looks like a monkey probably did it that morning.  It isnt a pretty site.

Day 161: College

     College is becoming very real nowadays.  In a way, I dont really want to go to college.  I still feel so young.  Not to mention college apps take up my whole life.  Thats an exaggeration.
     I would like to inform whom ever it concerns, that I am still going into acting.  My dreams will never fade and I hope I can be an example to all of you who want to believe that what you believe is ridiculous, that you need to keep believing in what you believe.  Believe that.  Got it?

Day 160: Social Commentary

     In the long run, this blog was about social aspects way more than fashion.  Though fashion is still very important to me.

Day 159: Back On Track

     Sometimes we get busy in life.  This blog, last year, was a challenge I created for myself and accepted.  158 days and thousands of grammer errors later, I took a temporary break.  During that time in my life, I was in a musical.  I would wake up at 7:00am and went to school, had rehersal from 3:30-11:00pm, then got up in the morning and did it all over again.
     Look at me, making excuses as if its okay for me to do such a thing as give up on this project.
     Well Im here to tell you I am not giving up.
     This blog was my life for a long time and I need to finish it.  So here goes nothing.
