Fall

I love fall. Up here in the pacific northwest that means rain, falling orange leaves, pumpkin spice lattes, leg warmers, boots, sweaters, infinity scarves, cocoa, and pretty much everything on Pinterest that looks cute and fallish. So far on the days it has rained I have broken out my sweaters! I am in high school now and am confused what age do you stop trick or treating? But then me and my friends had an idea, we dress up go to Target and buy a crap ton of Halloween candy! It will be fast, fun, and we won't have to walk around all night to get one tootsie roll from one of 50+ houses we go to. Check out my we heart it Fall page to see some adorable fall looks and photos.

My interests

I figured it would be nice if you knew some more things about me. My favorite color is teal, I love chocolate, I play the trumpet, I like Star Wars, Star Trek, The Walking Dead, and the Big Bang Theory, and the occasional Dance Moms because it is addicting! My favorite store to shop at is Target, yes I love shopping! I have often been described as a girly geek. I like pink pastels, shopping, Starbucks, and Ikea. But I also like Call of Duty, Halo, Borderlands, and Nintendo games, oh and don't forget Minecraft! One of my greatest role models is Supergirlygamer who runs the Minecraft channel Gaming with Jen. I also am a big user of Youtube. I am the kind of person who actually subscribes to channels and watches them. I love and watch so many channels it is kind of a addiction. So expect to see both sides of me!

That kind of seems like a rant of what I like but whatever! I hope you guys enjoyed learning a little more about me! Follow me on Weheartit.com  @leader_of_the_unikitties

My Hair Story

When I was in the seventh grade I had the idea of getting a pixie cut, at this point I had hair almost to my waist, and I had bangs that were always getting greasy. So at the end of my seventh grade school year I got a pixie cut at a professional salon. At first it was really cute and I loved it. But then when I got it trimmed my stylist trimmed it way shorter than it was before. Every where I went people thought I was a boy. NASA astronaut Janet Ebbs thought I was a boy. It was so humiliating some people at school even teased me. For the past 2/3 years I have been growing it out and trying to make myself look like a girl again. It now is down to my shoulders and I have more styling options. So I guess my advice is if you want a pixie cut just spend the necessary money to get it done by a real professional who knows what they are doing. My salon just didn't get it I guess.

Bullies

I would like to share with you what happened on the third day of high school. I was in a band class, the trumpet group went into a separate room to work on a song. There were three of us and one of us was supposed to be "leading". I hadn't practiced my trumpet all summer, and usually when I get new music I take a few minutes to identify all the notes and rhythms. I was messing up a little and I was struggling to under stand the "leaders" instructions, he wasn't being descriptive of what he wanted. After a couple more minutes of me messing up on small things he started getting impatient, he was swearing, and being rude. I was trying really hard not to take it personally and to not cry. Then he said I was pissing him off, but he was pissing me off!  I felt so bad about myself and was so mad at this guy. He left the room to see how much longer we should be practicing . I turned away and started crying not noisy crying just tears rolling down my cheeks. When he came back in I pretended to be messing with some stuff in a storage bin just so I wouldn't have to look at him. he got in my line of vision and asked me what was wrong. I turned to him with tears in my eyes and said "nothing I am fine". He then realized he was the problem and he apologized. I could have got angry I could have yelled at him and told him the list of reasons he was an asshole but I decided to just accept his apology. Over the years of being a sensitive teen I realized that when a girl stands up for herself she intimidates others and no one wants to hang out with her because she is "such a bitch". One reason I moved to this new school, at my old school the boys made fun of me a lot. I don't like it when I am picked on. The other student there? He stood there and watched. Don't be a bully.

Hello!

Hi my name is Grace (obviously). I am a freshman this year and I just moved to a new school. New kids, new campus, new teachers, all of it is new. All except my best friend who came to this new school with me because we were looking for a challenge. I decided that writing about the experience would be fun and help me share my thoughts. We are already three days into school but I am sure you can catch up. Oh and I have no idea if this will be daily or if I will give up tomorrow.
