Happy Holidays from Grade 12 Ashley

Quick update beacause I'm lazy. Today I wrote the SAT Subject Tests (Literature and Math II). Bombed both! Amazing! To be honest I feel okay right now. I had a good half hour cry and then just realized I will be ok. I am going to be happy because I meet amazing people and learn at amazing Canadian institutions. More life updates... cool things that ASH last year would have been freaking out about... 1) Made Team Canada for debate! Yas! 2) Because Student Body President! Yas! Ok I'm bored about talking about tangible accomplishments. Let me tell you about other cool things that may interest you... catch phrases! Basically, I say a lot of catch phrases which is kinda weird I know but it's a cool piece of personal branding that I didn't even consciously do but NOW THAT I DO I CAN'T STOP.  "It's a no from me." "Holla in the village!" "You're an amazing man! You're an amazing woman!" "HU-UH" (I use this s...

Hello from mature Ashley!

Hello!! Long time no post. I don't really have any good excuses... other than I've been busy lately. With what you may ask? School, Procrastinating, Youtube... the usual. Especially now! I have AP exams coming up this week and next (AP Physics 1 and AP HumGeo.) Right now, I feel like AP's are the worst! AND HEY, my solution to being stressed is writing a blogpost! How productive. Go Ashley. Although I am very sure that future Ashley will be like "PSHAW AP's ARE NOTHING." There are definitely worse things in life. But anyways, I wanted to make this post to quickly summarize my life as it is now. Just so that one day I can look back on my youth lol. SO.... READY FOR SOME LIFE UPDATES? BUCKLE UP THIS WILL BE LONG (or maybe short... depends on if my fingers get tired.) Debate Update  In my last post, you heard me crying about Team Canada. WHAT A ROUGH PATCH IN MY LIFE. And how I thought I was a failure for not making the national team in grade 11. I think dif...

Hello from 2016!

Hello!! Ashley!! Or whoever else is reading this. Honestly, I just assume that I'm the only one reading this blog.... HAHHAHA... one day, if my friends find this, we can all have a laugh together. ANYWAYS, staying on topic, it's been a really long time since I updated (over a year!! wah!!) and things have really been a whirlwind. I guess a lot has changed since I started this blog a few Christmas's ago. But some things have also stayed the same. I guess, here is a life update :) DEBATE  So, this year hasn't really been my year. Don't get me wrong, I've been able to accomplish many things that I am proud of, but, what I failed to achieve was getting on Team Canada for debate. Although I can still get on the team when I'm in grade 12, I have been super discouraged from this loss. Honestly, I cried for months following. I guess the cheesey thing to say is that "THE LOSS WILL MOTIVATE ME" but I'm not sure that it will. Having faced very few loss...

I DON'T WANT TO GROW UP

I really don't know what I want to be when I grow up, and I know that I don't have to decide right away. But I really want to make a decision. SOON. ASAP. RIGHT AWAY. Honestly, I want to do something practical, and something that will allow me to LIVE because it provides a stable source of income. But I also want to do something I love, something that makes me happy to wake up every morning and do. BUT BUT BUT, one of the biggest ones, is that I want to do something that makes my parents happy, something that is worthy of their standards. They're so supportive, more supportive then they will ever know, however I know that they are both SO EDUCATED, so it drives me to want to follow their career path. I know I'm only a teenager, but if I could decide what I wanted to be, that would take 20% OF MY ANXIETY AWAY. Growing up sucks.

Korean Dramas YASSSS

This past summer, I spent most of my time watching Korean dramas, I was feeling pretty introverted a lot of the time and preferred to spend time with my Korean BOYS <3. So Imma rant about some of my favourite dramas so that future me can watch these and cry like present me has just done. (These are not in a particular order.) To the beautiful you: It basically features an AMAZINGLY CUTE GUY called Choi Min Ho and wow his face was pretty good looking I must say. ;) There are some moments that are so cringe worthy because the characters always manage to embarrass themselves but its a good drama because the acting is so believable. There are many famous actors/actresses in this too, which was an added bonus. This whole series is about a high jumper who was injured and can no longer high jump as well as he used to. However, this girl believes that he has so much potential and decides to push him to continue high jumping, so she dresses up as a boy and pretends to be his roommate. TBH...

A VERY WEIRD DREAM

Okay I had the weirdest dream and I really want to write it down so that when I'm old I can read my blog and be like "WOW I WAS A WEIRD KID." Okay so it starts off with me in a house, its not my house in real life, but it was the place I lived in in my dream. I had 6 siblings and we were all sitting around the dining room table eating dinner and the parentals were out of the house. Suddenly, I hear this knock at the front door. AND DREAM ME IS REALLY STUPID, because I just open the door. Outside are two of my classmates...who are holding mugs. But they're not very friendly looking (they're actually so nice I don't know why I imagined them this evil) but they run up the pathway to my house with these vicious looks on their faces and they're flailing their mugs around and somehow in the back of my mind I know they want to kill me and my siblings. And for some reason, I'm holding 2 construction worker helmets in my hand ( DONT ASK WHY I have no idea) an...
