Every human being on the plant knows of some type of celebrity, whether isn't a pop star like Taylor Swift or a well-known local. They're everywhere. People wait in lines just to breathe the same air as them. You would be surprised what fans would do for their idols...
Celebrities seem to have it all-- money, fame, influence, and much much more. But 'having it all' also includes paparazzi following them all over, fans crowding around them everywhere they go, and absolutely no privacy. They have it all, the good and the bad.
My inspiration for this post is something that you have probably already guessed: Zayn Malik leaving One Direction.
Now I'm not a huge fan of One Direction. Yeah, I buy their music and I have a favorite member, but I'm not absolutely insane about them.
So when Zayn left, yes it was a shock, but I literally shrugged and said 'okay.' I got home and started surfing the world wide web, like one does, when I found Instagram and Twitter posts and YouTube videos with girls crying their eyes out and even cutting themselves. Yeah, that happened.
So here's a message to you One Direction fans:
My condolences go out to you for Zayn's departure from One Direction. This is a sad time for the fandom, I get that, but is a single pop star worth hurting yourself over? Zayn left because he was unhappy. And I know more than anyone that if you are in an unhappy situation, you need to get out of it. So don't be mad at him. He is so brave for doing this-- I probably wouldn't have had the guts to do what he did.
Plus, it's not like the entire band is done. Harry, Louis, Liam, and Niall are still at it.
It's okay.
And who knows? Maybe this will be like The Backstreet Boys. Kevin did leave, but now they're back together and going on tour. Maybe Zayn will rejoin in a few years and everything will be right in the world once again.
Just don't give him hate. If you're a true fan, you would tell him it's okay and we'll miss you.
I don't want anyone to think that I eat, sleep, and breathe One Direction; this has just been a trending topic and I wanted to give my input:)
Hope you have a great day!

Social Media
Hello:)
I just finished reading The Future of Us by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler.
It's set in the year 1996. Now, if you didn't know, internet wasn't a thing back then; over half of all American teenagers had never searched the world wide web. In order to get internet, you needed a CD-ROM... I still don't know what that is exactly.
Anyways, the protagonists Emma and Josh get a hold of one of these CD-ROM things and discover a website called Facebook... But Facebook hasn't been invented yet... So they're looking at their lives 15 years in the future.
I'm already doing a project on this book for my English class, but this book really got me thinking about how different life was for teenagers in the 90's versus present day.
Like I said before, internet wasn't a thing. Check out this video:
In today's society, kids are growing up in a digital age, and even though there are many benefits that come with advanced technology, there are also some disadvantages.
First of all, cyber bullying. The technical definition of cyber bullying is the use of electronic communication to bully a person. This has become a growing issue among teenagers ever since websites like Facebook have been created. People feel like it's okay to bully someone online because no one can know for sure who is doing the bullying. ABC Family even made a movie about it called Cyber Bully. It's actually a really good movie. You should watch it sometime:) (It's on Netflix)
Don't get me wrong, I love my iPad-- you wouldn't be reading this if it wasn't for good old Apple Incorporated. But now that we have this amazing technology, we need to learn how to use it wisely. Don't get me wrong, most people I know use technology for the right reasons. But there are still those who don't.
Now here's a fun fact about me: I don't have Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook, none of that. I only have my Gmail. I know, I'm an alien.
My parents don't allow me to have any of the popular social media accounts. And even though it sucks sometimes, I like that I don't have them. I have my phone and email and that's all I need.
How about this...
If you have any social media accounts, I challenge you to go offline for as long as you can. Try it out. And who knows what will come out of it.
Hope you have a great day my little candy apples!
Bye bye:)
PS- Read The Future of Us!

Personifying a Month
Prompt: Personify a month
September is awkward and shy. She walks through the school corridors with her head hanging and her hands covered by her sweater sleeves.
But she doesn't have to be awkward and shy because she's beautiful. Her long hair flies gracefully behind her as she walks. Her big, round eyes twinkle like diamonds.
As she goes through the year, she blossoms. During the winter sports season she brought the Milton High Girls Basketball team to win the championships. Just last week, she starred in the school play.
But then Summer comes to town and we don't see her for two whole months. Then September comes back, and September is awkward and shy ones again.

Personifying a Season
Prompt: Personify a Season
Spring is beautiful. She wears dresses everyday; she doesn't own pants. She wears blue to remember the forget-me-nots. She wears pink for the cherry blossoms, purple for the lilacs. She dances in the fields of newly-bloomed daises; swims in a warm sea of marigolds.
But then she goes away, hibernates. She's there one second and gone the next. We all want her to leave so Summer can come. But then Fall comes, and then Winter. By then all we want is Spring to come back. And she always does. She's so gullible.
When we kick winter out, Spring comes to our side and makes everything and everyone come alive. The bears wake up from their deep slumber. The flowers yawn and stretch their limbs. The salmon push upstream. People step onto their porch with a cup of whispering coffee and smile in the fresh sunlight. Everything comes alive.
Spring does that. But then we want her gone. So she leaves. But she comes every time.
