It seems like everyone is always stressed out. Problems always seem to find a way to creep into our lives. Life is tough. It's a cliche, but life truly is. No one gets to experience a perfect life - void of problems, troubles and arguments. There's always going to be that thing that bugs us. That grinds at our brains and tests our patience. It's unfortunate but true. No matter how hard we try to avoid the stressful things in life, they always end up causing some sort of stress.
But hey, we should really end this cycle. We should stop stressing out over the petty, insignificant things. Like really. Think about the things you stress out over. In the end, which of these things really, truly matter? Most of the things that cause us grief have little to no real bearing on our lives. Life would be so much more enjoyable if we could just look past these little things. Look past the elementary disputes and trivial commotion we experience everyday.
Being a 17 year old teenager, I can't really say I've experienced too much of this world yet. I've pretty much lived my life day by day, in the same environment, with the same people. Hell, I have not experienced a ton of things. I've never been on a plane, never been outside the US. Nor have I watched many Disney movies (I have two older brothers). I see myself as a pretty carefree person though. I don't really get bothered by many things or dwell over many problems. I have had a fair share of things in my life that have caused me heartache, but for the most part I enjoy my life. What's the point in getting all riled up over such little things? Maybe this carefree mindset will screw me over later in life, but I don't really mind.
I'm just looking forward for everything that is going to happen. I'm 17, only 17 - hahah. What a small number.

My life.
Is eat, sleep, talk to friends.
After beach/basketball today we went to Buffalo Wild Wings. Got an app, burger, plate of fries and wings. After that we drove down route 1 and went to Outback for round two. Blooming onion and texas cheese fries <3. Our waiter was a total jerk.

Unseasonal Weather
The past few days have had such amazing weather. It's saved me from my house's broken heater and refreshed my memory of warm weather. It's amazing how drastically the things we did over the weekend changed in comparison to the weekends prior to this. With good weather, friends and a pair of sneakers, you can have fun without needing to find someone with a furnished, stacked-out house. It's so much easier arranging things to do. Pretty much just meet outside someone's house and figure out what to do there. The weekend's been pretty fun. This upcoming week is going to suck though. A stat test on stuff I don't know, two physics tests on stuff I don't know and a bio test on stuff I don't know. Hm, I don't know a lot of stuff, hahah. Oh well, really looking forward to spring break and summer.
Oh, and gchat was super boring without the UN kids.

State of Affairs
I've come to learn how it feels to not have the luxuries of a warm house and warm water. After the crazy storm over the weekend, I have been left with a flooded basement and no source of heat. The water that enters my house is not only contaminated but also ice cold. The air inside of my house is as cold as the air outside. It's like an isotonic solution - LOLOL. Last night I had to drive over to Shane's house to take a shower. It wasn't that bad, I mean I got to see my buddy and have an interesting talk with Tracy. And Shane, you are right - She is a prom addict =D. My current living conditions are quite horrible though. I went to sleep last night, tightly wrapped around by four heavy blankets. I woke up this morning with all four blankets on the floor, in my boxers (I sleep in my boxers - Don't judge me!) and shivering. It was freezing. The only reason I got out of bed instead of just calling in sick was because I had JETS today. Evidently, it was a bad start of the day. Ask anyone on the bus. I was super emo on the ride to NJIT.
JETS was alright though. I mean, even though I'm disappointed that I was placed on Varsity B rather than A, we did quite well - especially considering Sidd, Pien and I were messing around the majority of the time. Even while screwing around, we managed to get 63/80 on the multiple choice section, while Varsity A only beat us by one question (64/80). Personally, I blame this marginal loss on one of the Juniors that were on our team, hahah. To be honest though, I'm not angry. I just think it would have been awesome if a half-senior, half-junior Varsity B team could have beaten a full-senior Varsity A team. We only lost by one question though, so we did do well.
Then again, the Seniors on Varsity B were pretty stacked. Lauren, Pien, Sidd and I :P

Rain rain rain.
I told Caroline that I love the rain. It's so refreshing no matter what you choose to do when it rains. It's always fun to sit at home and bum out for a day - Make some food, sit in front of the television/computer and watch some quality movies. It's always fun to sit by the window and look at the pouring rain. It's always fun to take a little walk, without an umbrella and just get all wet in the rain. The storm that's going on right now is really overdoing it though. NJ is getting beaten by rain and wind.
I just got home from a friend's house, and the drive was by far the most dangerous/difficult drive of my life. This tops any snow-storm I've driven in... Rain is intense. I was legitimately frightened that I would crash and ruin my car (I put the financial consequences over physical harm). Right now in East Brunswick, the roads are an utter mess. There are random lines of cones scattered throughout the area, cutting Route 18 down the middle, making it impossible to cross Route 18. These cones are to make up for the fact that the freaking traffic lights are out right now. There are NO traffic lights functioning right now on Route 18 or Summerhill. Not only are the traffic lights not working but neither are the streetlights. That basically means the only light on the roads is from the lights of the cars driving. I turned my lights off for a second just to see how bad it was - It was bad. I was on Racetrack and it was pitch black. At that point, I was pretty sure I was going to die.
I'm really surprised I have electricity at my house right now... My area is usually one of the first areas to lose power. Driving home, nearly every single house I passed was completely black. That probably explains why barely anyone is online. If you were to drive around right now, you would see police lights everywhere, crazy drivers doing illegal turns and uprooted trees lying on the roads.
Just to give you guys an idea of how bad it is outside - McDonalds was pitch black when I passed by it. No cars in the parking lot, no one inside.
Oh and guess what else. 7-11 was a dead-zone too. When have you ever seen 7-11 closed?
I think the only place open right now would be China Bowl. That place is crazy. I mean, it survived through the death of every other store in its complex, and it is open 24/7/52. And don't forget the fact that one guy lives there - I see him every time I go there.

Sheena shaped chocolates
This 3:30-5:00 tutoring every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday is really starting to bore me to death. Everyday I drive to this kid's house, bring him to the library, sit at a computer, bug random people on gchat, feel time slowly pass and then drive him back to his house. It's really pointless, other then the fact that I get paid. I mean, yeah, I do realize this is an incredibly easy job, but the job itself is really boring. Whatever, I am paid for boredly staring at a computer.
However, this job has let me observe the library, uncomfortably often. The library has gone from a place for studying and learning to a place for odd teenagers to "chill". I see kids from Churchill and Hammarskjold come here everday, speaking broken English and wearing their pants down to their thighs. I see kids with packs of marlbaros and camels in their backpockets and overhear them asking eachother for lighters. I see a repulsing amount of skin on gortesque, overweight, loose girls, that should instead be covered. I see idiotic kids who think they're something special, when in the end they're going to be the below-minimum wage working class of America. I guess they will serve some purpose though - Driving us around in taxis, mowing our lawns, serving us McDonalds, the services are endless.
It's a pity that so many kids these days are like this. At least, because of this realization, I may state confidently that there will always be loads of people to do the dirty work that upholds an economy. In all seriousness though, it is pretty depressing. I wish these people would realize how badly they are ruining their futures. How about doing something school-related rather then coming to the library every single day?
...Hahah, even right now there's a short, scrawny white kid sitting next to me, telling his friends about his "badass" tendencies. Getting into fights, talking back to his teachers and dating "hot" middle school girls - how exciting.
Jeez, I hope he isn't reading this as I'm typing this... He may beat me up ;[
