Four Years: Freshmen-1

To me now, freshmen year was such a blur. Right now there are so many different things rushing through my mind about that year, but I’ll do my best to recover each and every detail. My time as a freshman definately had its ups and downs and I hope to display it to the best of my ability. For my life is different than the average teenager and this is because I got to a unique kind of military school called the Marine Academy of Science and Technology.

It was bright that morning, when I woke up. I sat up in bed and looked around my room. I saw my clothes hanging up for the day, my backpack thrown in a corner, a mess of summer clothing on the floor, and a navy uniform thrown in another corner. I walked up this new array of clothes I would have to wear this year and just looked at it, confused. “Why am I doing this to myself?” I remember thinking. I had always been against violence, wars, and the military all together. This jumble mess up patches, a weird hat that looked like something you’d see a fast food worker wear, an ugly white shirt, and some pins. I was not looking foward to wearing this at all.

Good morning to the lovely tumblr world,

Yes I’m back and ready to get things into full swing. I feel as if my past posts lacked a sort of something. Could it have been meaning? Or could have simply have been just being interesting. Well get ready to read all my lovely up and coming posts because they have a true meaning now. I’m just going to post about my life. My life at a military school, so to speak, and my life full of random adventures. This blog has a new purpose and it is to create a novel. I feel like my life at MAST has been extremely unique and much different than other high school experiences. Creating this book will allow me to show my love for this school and my friends, but also help me keep the memories I’ll want to remember when I’m old. So ladies and gentlemen, get ready.

Randomly yours,

Emma <3

Cupcakes <3

Hello World of Bloggers,

    Well, as many people know I do have a little obsession for cupcakes. They are just so adorable and tasty that I had to write about it. My obsession first started with my trip to Boston a couple of years ago. I was on Newbury Street and I walked right into my favorite store, Johnny Cupcakes. This a designer who makes all of their clothes related to baking and cupcakes. There store is absolutely adorable and all of their shirts are displayed in freezers and on cookie sheets in bakery display cases. It has to be the coolest store ever. They have this one shirt that I bought that I believe is their most popular, it states “Make Cupcakes Not War” and it is my favorite shirt to wear.

     Ever since this awesome day, I have been obsessed with cupcakes. I love making them and designing them in all different ways. I’ll use food coloring, icing, sprinkles, and anything else edible. =) So that is my litte rant on cupcakes. Below are some of the Johnny Cupcake shirts and just some pretty pictures of cupakes found on Photobucket.

Day Two of the Lovely 30 Day Tumblr Challenge: Something You Love About Yourself

Hello to the World,

Day Two: Something You Love About Yourself

     It is always fun to just think about why you love yourself, it gives you a great feeling inside and you just feel awesome. I have got to say that I love my eyes. I have bright green eyes, but one of them is half brown. No, they aren’t hazel, one of my eyes is seriously half brown and half green. I know it must sound strange, and you are probably wondering how that is possible. Well, one day in my freshmen yr Biology class, I asked my teacher how it was possible. She gave the delightful answer of: “Well, you either have some disease or got hit in the face as a child.” She probably was kidding, but still it wasn’t that great to hear. If anyone actually has a logical reason, please tell me.

Day One of the Lovely 30 Day Tumblr Challenge: Something You Hate About Yourself

Hello People,

    Welcome back to the lovely world of Randomly Yours. As promised here is my first post of the 30 Day Tumblr Challenge.

Day One: Something You Hate About Yourself

     As a child you always learn to be confident and have pride in yourself. You learn to love yourself and that all mean comments about you are wrong. Even with these lessons people still see the bad in things, not just me, everyone. We do not have the ability to only see the bright side, because the dark sometimes dulls the light. So obviously there is something I hate about myself.

     That something is probably the reason why I’ve never had many friends and why its so hard for me to keep a boyfriend. I have a problem of getting into fights with people, not physical fights, but verbal. These fights usually are the result of me being offended. I often am hurt by people saying negative comments about me or when someone else is always right or better than me, and rubs it in my face. I wish I could take things lightly, have a thick skin, and not allow so much to hurt me. Lately, I have been a lot better at this and it is saving my relationships with people.

                                                                              Randomly yours,

                                                                              Emma <3

P.S. I know many people can get into fights because of bullying because they can stand up for themselves or another person. Do not stop. Do not just get a thicker skin and not let it affect you. If someone is really hurting you, and not just teasing or making fun, you need to report this to an adult. There is no room for bullying. In my situation people were just making jokes, but there have been times in my life when I’ve been bullied. Never back down, there needs to be a stop in bullying.

The Lovely 30 Day Tumblr Challenge

Hello Everyone,

     Well I’m back after a lovely month of summer and I’m quite sorry for not keeping up with my blog. I had made a little promise to myself to not write another post until I got my laptop, but since I still don’t have enough money, and probably won’t until the end of August, I decided to start up again. =)

     Lately, there has been a lot of talk about this 30 Day Tumblr Challenge and I’m definately going to take it. It sounds like a wonderful time and it gives me some ideas on what to blog about. So here is the schedule for the next 30 days =)

Day 01 → Something you hate about yourself.
Day 02 → Something you love about yourself.
Day 03 → Something you have to forgive yourself for.
Day 04 → Something you have to forgive someone for.
Day 05 → Something you hope to do in your life.
Day 06 → Something you hope you never have to do.
Day 07 → Someone who has made your life worth living for.
Day 08 → Someone who made your life hell, or treated you like shit.
Day 09 → Someone you didn’t want to let go, but just drifted.
Day 10 → Someone you need to let go, or wish you didn’t know.
Day 11 → Something people seem to compliment you the most on.
Day 12 → Something you never get compliments on.
Day 13 → A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough ass days. (write a letter.)
Day 14 → A hero that has let you down. (letter)
Day 15 → Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it.
Day 16 → Someone or something you definitely could live without.
Day 17 → A book you’ve read that changed your views on something.
Day 18 → Your views on gay marriage.
Day 19 → What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics?
Day 20 → Your views on drugs and alcohol.
Day 21 → (scenario) Your best friend is in a car accident and you two got into a fight an hour before. What do you do?
Day 22 → Something you wish you hadn’t done in your life.
Day 23 → Something you wish you had done in your life.
Day 24 → Make a playlist to someone, and explain why you chose all the songs. (Just post the titles and artists and letter)
Day 25 → The reason you believe you’re still alive today.
Day 26 → Have you ever thought about giving up on life? If so, when and why?
Day 27 → What’s the best thing going for you right now?
Day 28 → What if you were pregnant or got someone pregnant, what would you do?
Day 29 → Something you hope to change about yourself. And why.
Day 30 → A letter to yourself, tell yourself EVERYTHING you love about yourself.

     Now, I will definately try my hardest to get one up every day, but days 7-13 I will be in the lovely South Carolina area. I will either have these days posted before I leave or when I get back. Day 1 will be posted in the next hour. =) So, until then have an hour filled with sunshine and lollipops.

All About Me and Why I Made the Blog

Randomly Yours <3

Heyy everyon!! My name is Emma, I am 16, about to be a junior, and welcome to my blog! I’m just a small town girl, but no I do not live in a lonely world.  I’ve alsonever written a blog before, but I promise it will be like nothing you’ve ever read. This blog will be filled with random quotes, stories, pictures, and well anything else random. I’m thinking you finally found my theme: randomness. I am quite a random person I must say. My interests are all over the place and I don’t like conforming. My interest range from sports to cupcakes. I’m into classic rock music with the occasional Lady Gaga or even Glee! I love to sing and act, but before I keep boring you with the manuscript of my life, I must explain why I am creating this blog.

Well, it all started when I was on facebook and I saw that one of my friends had a tumblr. account. So, I checked it out and it was love at first sight. I had been wanting to write a blog for a while, but I never knew what about. I thought that this would be a place where I could just be, well, random! I then also thought it would be an awesome thing to do during the summer mornings when my parents are at work and I’m sitting home doing nothing. I was also promised a laptop if I got on the honor roll, so I was going to wait until I got the laptop before I wrote my first post. Well, that ship has sailed and I am not getting my laptop. This is because my one teacher gave me a C and I missed a B by one point. Now, at my school this means I got an 84, which I know really isn’t bad. So I’m hoping my mom will still let me get it. So now that I told you all about why I made the blog, I should probably tell you a little more about me.

Well as I said before, I am a small town girl, and I do go to a nerd school. My school is on a peninsula-ish thing and yes we are right by the beach. It is an open campus so we walk around between classes. The most famous thing about my lovely beach school is that well, we are military. Yup, I am a member of the Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps. This is the high school version of college ROTC and I know it makes no sense that I, a very random different individual, be a part of something as conforming as a military high school program. So I must tell you why I joined.

My grandpa and some great-uncles were in World War II and I felt that it was appropriate for me to join the program for them. I also love the activities we do like marching and getting a lot of ribbons. I do have the most ribbons in the grade and am the only 6 officers in the grade, which makes me and these lovely five other individuals the highest ranked cadets in the grade. My job is assistant supply officer and the other 5 jobs are also assistants to seniors, except two which work with sophomores, but I do not want to confuse you!!! Being the assistant supply officer, I am kind of in charge of all the uniforms at my school. I issue them to freshmen, collect them from finishing seniors, and just help everyone else if they need new uniform parts. I also get the best uniform stuff, so I must say my uniform is in top shape!

Besides from my NJROTC love, I am also a girl scout. I am a girl scout of eight years, was currently bridged to a Senior Girl Scout, have my bronze and silver awards, and love getting badges. This love of badges does connect to my love of ribbons in the NJROTC. My dad thinks this why I love that program, which is probably true lol. Besides from that, I love the creative arts. For the past two years at my school, I directed a one act play, performed in a one act play, and performed in two musicals. Next year I will be directing another play and will also be in the musical. I love to sing and act, and it is my secret passion and dream! I’d love to be an actress on the stage or in the movies, but my parents don’t exactly think it is a good career path.

My other love is spanish! I am 1/4 Puerto Rican and 1/4 Spanish and just love everything spanish. I am a high A student in Spanish and was just inducted into the spanish honor society, which I deeply love and hope to run for secretary of this society next year. My other club is Key Club and it is very dear to my heart. This organization is a service organization and does a lot of community service for Children Specialized Hospital. This year I was just inducted as the new Editor for this club and write montly newsletters about what is going on in our club. They are absolutely gorgeous and I hope to win first place for best club newsletter and the District Convention next year. I also hope to possibily run for district editor, but we’ll see what happens.

 My love of journalism is also my other passion. This is what I am striving for, and what I am probably going to college for. My dream is to go to Emerson College in Boston for journalism, and a minor in theatre, and then work in a fashion magazine and eventually become an editor. Well, I believe you are all probably sick of hearing about me, and yes I am done. Today is my first day of summer vacation, and I wanted to start it off right. HAPPY SUMMER TO EVERYONE!!! Get ready for a interesting blog and an awesome summer!!!

                                                                   Randomly Yours,

                                                                   Emma <3
