There has always been one thing that I’ve wanted to do at the airport, carry a huge sign while waiting for someone important to come and claim it. Last January I finally got to do it, I was able to surprise my best friend at the airport. She was supposed to come to my house later on that night and didn’t expect me to show up at the airport. I had a sign displaying “ISA MY MAIN B” all the letters were colored with weird designs. When she saw me she started screaming and...

Im one of those people that needs to know every single detail about what is going to happen before it happens. I tend to fall into a routine and usually feel most comfortable when im in one. My day usually goes like this: roll out of bed, get dressed, brush my teeth, wash my face, put on socks and my class ring, eat breakfast, brush my teeth, put on acne cream, put on foundation powder, put on my shoes, do homework in the car, go to my first two classes, eat an egg ham and cheese sandwich, go...

H&M, a clothing store, collaborated with Balmain, a design house, to create an more affordable couture clothing line. The line went to sale today, November 5th. I was honetly really excited for this. Balmain can make really beautiful pieces of clothing, but of course, they are priced at thousands of dollars every article. This collection was a way to get my hands on something that resemble Balmain, but is not an immitation. 

With school, the soccer game, and my friend's birthda...

I do not want to sound like an enemy or scrutinize the friends and teamates I have played with for the last few years. But was this the best of our capabilities? Was this the freaking performance we wanted to present? Screw what you think about the people who went, your girlfriend, your teachers, your family, your friends, think for yourself. What on Earth did we do today? For our last game against a team that does not deserve the gold position, wait scra...

Teenagers… we’re still kids, but we are expected to act as adults. “Oh you are just a kid, you don’t know what you want.” “You are an adult now, so act like one.” Well, which is it?

I’m a teenager, and not just because my age ends with “teen.” I’m a confused adolescent that needs to learn how to be independent, but at the same time still cannot ...

Today, after my writing class, I went to the lounge. I proceeded to put on the song "My *****" and then "Tuesday". While these songs played, Brandon and I used wooden sticks to have a sword fight. The room was cold, but the heat my body was generating balanced everything out nicely. Vero was on the couch chillin, and Isa was sitting at the table thinking of what to write for her blog post. Even though Brandon and I were engaged in one activity, while Vero and Isa were doing others, I felt a c...

The skin on the tip of my index finger glides across the smooth glass. A constant pattern from the bottom to the top. The digit descends when the acme has been reached but I am careful to not touch the screen. Again, from the bottom to the top.

Persuasive advertisements, artsy photographs, and funny videos pop-up into my vision. Twenty likes. A hundred likes. {Must have many friends.} Only ten views thus far. 1...

I'm an average black-haired billionaire during the day.

Dark and unknown during the night.

My voice changes as the sun sets.

My job requires me to solve many riddles.

My biggest enemy is a bird that can't fly. 

I fall in style.

Who am I?

Dear Seniors, 

I hope I'm not that SJS alumn that everyone already forgot about, because I certainly haven't forgotten about you. 

I'm in my writing class, here in the heart of Boston, researching blogs, and I couldn't help but type in the same URL I would type in every Thursday last year.

I have forgotten what 80 degrees feels like, the sun is setting at 4:30 PM, and I can't leave my room with anything less than two layers. My h...
