Rant: Lazy People

Although it has been a month since I have posted anything, I still do not really have anything to talk about so I am just going to rant.

***DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT DIRECTED TOWARDS ANYONE because I do this too***

There are lazy people that just sit on a couch and not do anything when they don't have anything to do... but when you have a deadline and you are being lazy and not working gets on my nerves (especially when you are working in a group)

It may sound like procrastinating but I procrastinate too but I get it done. Some people are just lazy and not do the job at all. STORYTIME: There is this guy in my Spanish class and well he speaks Spanish at home so the language should be easy to him right?? but he does not even come to class or do the homework when he can get an easy A. (no pun intended...) I would totally take advantage of the fact that I know the language so well to get a good grade.

So onto why I chose to do this topic today....

I was that person for the last month. I was getting ready to take the SAT today (which if you do not live in the US, it's a standardized test which you take to get into college). I was doing everything that I could to not study which was not a great idea now that I think about it. I should have but all I would do is go on the internet, on tumblr, facebook, search this online about the latest makeup products (which I will buy and do reviews on) and other stuff.

Do not do that!!

I now regret doing that because I am a very nervous person that has a lot of anxiety so leaving everything to the last day was not a very good idea. Also I recently discovered that I have anxiety attacks so being a newcomer it was not a good idea to not study but everything went well (I hope) but just a reminder that there is always a time for everything. When you have to study, actually study and get off of Youtube and the internet. You can always roam around the internet when you do not have homework or anything serious that you have to get done.

So if your sitting here reading this when you have something to do, I would advise you go do that thing and come back so you do not feel a constant reminder that you have something important to do :)

Thanks for listening to my rant (about me...)

I Don't Know

There was a time when I was really passionate about something and I would pursue it but can you have that same fire for the rest of my life? I don't know. There are many people that are asking if I know what I want to do with my life now that I am in high school but the real answer is I really don't know. I am confused every day about the cereal that I want so how am I going to make a decision that will affect my future? 

I have talked to many people and a lot have said to follow my hobby and others say that your career should not be your hobby unless you are flawless at it. My parents would obviously want me to go to college and become a doctor or something like that but I seriously cannot see myself becoming one. People have expected so much from me that I feel pressured to do something that I don't like and succeed. I am afraid to fail. I have always wanted to admit that before but I have always thought that people will judge. I have never felt so alone.

I am the type of person that can't do an activity if I am not having fun. I can't put my best foot forward if I myself am not passionate about my work.

I feel pressure to do well in school. I feel pressure to always be a role model and always do the right thing. I feel pressure to always keep working and make others happy but there should be a time when I should make my happiness my first priority right?

Panic Attack

I guess I have had some panic attacks but there were only moderately, I have never felt this way before.

Yesterday I was at rehearsal after lunch. I was sitting done as my teacher was announcing things to the class when suddenly my heart started beating faster and I felt that it was hard to breathe. I was waving my folder to my face to get more air into my lungs. I felt that I was being compressed into a little box and I could not get out. I had never really experienced any thing like it before. I had always had anxiety but only like the nervous feeling in your tummy or sweating a lot. It was new and I was freaking out.

I carried on rehearsing but I could not get myself to calm down. I was holding my friend's hand and my hand was shaking like crazy and I felt that I had to cry but I couldn't. There was no specific reason why I was anxious or panicking. There was absolutely nothing. I had finished finals, I had no school, there was nothing for me to do. I had a sleepover the day before but there was still this panicky feeling inside of me and I felt like I was going to burst.

So I have gone online and read things about them and I have learned that a lot of people have them and that it is nothing to really worry about. There are medication to suppress them and that if they do get worse that i can go to a doctor for it and it is not abnormal.

There is nothing to feel alone about because many people have it. What are some ways to deal with panic attacks?

What I Do Instead of Studying

I don't really like studying.... is that bad? I mean who does when you have your favorite TV show or your favorite artist coming out with a new album. Like every teenager in the world, I do everything else other than studying. So here are some of the things I do:

1. Talk to my parents (actually communicate so i don't have to study)
2. Plan next year's Halloween costume
3. Appreciate the outdoors (instead of sitting at the computer all day)
4. Update my Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
5. Watch the movies coming on Disney Channel like I am still 12 years old
6. Actually clean my room because I am sooo bored and I don't want to study
7. Try to learn something new such as a new instrument or a language so that I can still tell my parents that I am studying
8. Talk to people I have not talked to in ages
9. Prank call my friends :)
10. Create new Pintrest boards like it doesn't already have unnecessary ones.
11. Holiday gift ideas (I am thinking of starting Christmas shopping early this year)
12. Stalk someone on Facebook... you know you do it all the time
13. Laundry
14. Work out at the gym (My parents cannot tell me that I can't work out because they always complain that I don't)
15. Listen to songs you wouldn't normally listen to
16. Dance like no one is watching
17. My bed has suddenly gotten more comfy
18. Beating my highest score on Candy Crush (which is impossible because I can't play for my llife)
19. Thinking about your future
20. Finally fall asleep on your textbook so you actually look like you were studying when your mom comes in

Now that I am done with my rant, I have to go study..... like seriously!!

Lush Cosmetics Cinders Bath Bomb

My friend recently dragged me into a LUSH store when we went Christmas shopping together. I had not actually been to a LUSH store before and I was skeptical at first but when all my friends were raving about all the products i had to try them out. As I was done with my Christmas shopping, I had no money left but my friend gifted me a bath bomb and so here is a review.

We were in the store for like an hour just smelling things and testing things out. She gifted me the Cinders Bath Bomb because she knew how much I liked cinnamon. This is a limited edition bath bomb made only during the Christmas time though. It was smaller than the normal bath bombs but I liked it. 



Smell: Cinnamon
Color: Yellow
Ingredients: Cinnamon Leaf Oil and Almond Essential Oil
Overall: It was nice due to the smell but the store claimed that the bath bomb had pop rocks (for those of you that don't know what that is.... they are popping candy that like pop when they hit any moisture) that would pop in the bath but I could not hear them unless I took it out of the bath. I didn't get the bomb because of the pop rocks but that would have been a nice touch. It also does not have any noticeable skin benefits to it but that would have been a nice addition. Overall, it made me feel at home by the fireplace. This would be a nice bath bomb for the smell instead of the skin benefits.

P.S. Since it was a gift I don't know the price and i can't find it anywhere.

Any other LUSH products that I should try? :)
