Cashwise:
1.) Try to put in at least $40 for college savings out of every paycheck...it's not that hard.
2.) Try to put in about $20 to dance account out of every paycheck because you will have to pay for Nationals this year, State and Nationals next year, and MA camp. Every little dollar counts.
3.) Try to put some cash (about $20 out of every paycheck) into cheerleading account because you will cheer again next year and you probably want your OWN uniform this time?
4.) Try to put some cash aside for things like SHOPPING at State and NATIONALS. Then there's next year's Homecoming (Don't exceed $100 for that.) and then there's PROM!

This is just an outline, and it's okay to spend your money because it's YOUR money when you need to or just feel like a movie or dinner with good friends. Just don't forget your other upcomming expenses.

Body and mainly foodwise:
1.) It's healty to be active so don't be lazy during dance since that's about all the excersize you ever do.
2.) When your FULL just STOP eating because food will always be ABUNDANT.
3.) When your about to eat something hearty, greesy, or whatever because it tastes GOOD then freakin ENJOY it. SAVOR it.
4.) Don't buy snacks. JUST DON'T. You go OVERBOARD when you do. So just stay away from snacks and don't waste your money ... or hurt your weight.

The goal is to maintain a happy relationship with food because it's healthy (a.k.a. you LIVE longer). You have a HEALTHY weight right now. GOOD JOB THUS FAR. But your eating habits will KILL you in the LONG RUN. People usually gain 5-10 pounds in college. You want to avoid that by starting to do good things for your BODY NOW.

More Miscellenious:
1.) Lotion is good for you. So MOISTERIZE. (Eucerine mornings&nights, Aveeno after bath or before Eucerine).
2.) You don't need shampoo that costs more than a T-shirt at Walmarts. So buy Pantene. Smart. Healthy hair.
3.) If you're going to do the whole healthy face thing then do this: ONLY BUY liquid soap for face and clinque moisterizer.
4.) Stick with clear skin (with maybe tinted moisterizer), mascara and blistex or clinque lip stuff. Don't go overboard. (For day to day.)

I never have enough money. I need to learn to how to deal with cash before I enter college. I don't know if I'll be able to get into the collge of my choice, or if I'll get the funds necessary to finish college. My parents want me to quit Walgreens so I can have larger 'grants' for college. That doesn't make any sense to me, so I argued with them. They're so mean. My mom's an idiot; my dad's an ass. I can't believe Mom told me that she's not going to take care of me once I turn 18. I don't know. I was so upset, but after I talked to B I feel much better. It's nice to know I'm loved :). I used to look forward to college, but the costs, admittance, etc. is making me anxious. I just hate how my parents are doing things for my benefit. I mean..It's difficult to say. They mean well, but it just seems as if it's my 'fault' when they do these little 'tricks'. I really don't like them today. My dad really pissed me off. I was going to study from 8-11 for A&P, but that didn't happen because I argued with them till 10. Talked w/ B to calm down for half an hour. Tried to study till 11, but that didn't work. I'm so going to lose my 4.0. I absolutely hate it when people interrupt my plans. Especially when my father does it. He is so annoying and such a butthole.

I just found out today that my mom had me at 39, not 40. And that my father's a year younger. Damn. That was kinda a blow to my face because I've always taught that my dad's two years older, and my mom was 40 when she had me. Damn.

I should try and break all of my bad habits.

I should lose weight.

I'm going to get fat.

SHIT is right. I just got into my first accident. Okay, so there was the Hamilton accident, but that was so small that it wasn't even really reported. Then there was the time when I was parking and I slightly bumped the front of my car. Again, that's really small. This is the first time that an accident of mine will be reported. It happened at 7:45 A.M. a few blocks up from my house. I was on my way to school, to the ITEDs test, but this happened. I honestly felt that it was a little more his fault then mine, and that my mouth was what caused the accident to be my fault. But I could have waited until he finished parking, or whatever. It was both our faults, but it really sucks that I ended up with the 'fine'. 96.20 buckaroos. That's a lot of cash. A LOT. I'm so sad right now.

I understand that this could have been prevented by me. So I'm not going to try and make excuses; I'm just going to accept the charges and responsibility. Fuck, this is scary. There's so much money that I have to pay, and that I don't have. I'm going to have to work more hours, but I don't have time. What am I going to do? I feel really bad; I can't pay off my dance acct. before state. I probably won't be able to buy all my neccessities and pull off great gifts to everyone at state. I'm so down right now. I wish I can talk to Beth, but she's probably at school right now.

My mom is really pissed and I understand. My dad's going to be off the wall. I understand. I got to go to school now and face the questions. I'm so upset.

Current Mood: and very sad...

I had fun. So insanely happy. Details later. ;).

The assembly today told me something about goals. If I write them down, I have a better chance of making them come true. There was this girl named Rachel Scott who died in the Columbine shooting, who wrote about kindness and such. Being the cynical person that I am, I thought that they were only writings, but she WAS kind and she WAS giving. Who cares about her mistakes, when her kindness did so much more? Anyway. The following list is my goals and they're NOT in order of importance, but maybe in time.

1.) Finish high school with a 4.0 G.P.A.
2.) Go to college.
3.) Be more involved with the activities I LIKE not the ones that 'look' good on a college application.
4.) Go to graduate school.
5.) Get a doctorate in the career field of my choosing. (Currently psychology.)
6.) Become a social worker. Having one career would be just boring.
7.) Become a foster parent and adopt a child (or two...or three).
8.) Go to a different country in Africa and volunteer there.
9.) If I ever have enough money, start a scholarship for kids with no money but have too much potential to be wasted.
10.) Impact someone's life in a positive way.
11.) BE PUNCTUAL.
12.) Go to sleep earlier.
13.) Eat healthier.
14.) Do something nice for someone everyday.
15.) Bake cookies for everyone on dance, cheer, M.C., etc. I don't need to let anyone know who I am.
16.) Volunteer more at the humane society, etc.
17.) Be a better friend.
18.) Be true to myself.
19.) Fall in love.
20.) Have a big, happy family.

I don't think I'm going to die young and I don't think I'm going to touch millions of lives. I don't need or want to. I just to want to help a few good people, who just don't know that they're wonderful yet. But I need to become a better person first. I need to be comfortable with myself before I can offer someone a hundred percent, but I know I will. Before I die, the world might not know what my name is. But they'll definetly know what I stand for.

I have big goals. I ask for a lot. I know I'm going to make it happen. It'll take A LOT of time, butit will happen.

Signing out,
Tiff
