WHERE DID THE YEAR GO????????

 Walking through the halls of Eastern, I see a youthful generation full of teenagers on social media texting and new trends and of course fashionable styles.What about you what do you see did you change a lot? I know I did.


POPULAR FASHION
          In 2014, there were tons of new fashionable styles that were almost too hard to keep up with. The first were KD's these were a brand of shoes that almost every teenager wanted to have they were a stylish pair of shoes with a very colorful look. The next were the sweat pants with elastic at the bottom these came in different colors and sizes and especially the adidas brand. Another new trend was the new joggers everyone got really attached to the new look and it soon became quite popular.  A cool trend was also maxi dresses, and it seems every year these beautiful dresses steal girls' hearts . 

POPULAR SLANG TERMS
             As always teenagers are very attached to there cell phones and to make things easier kids use things like emojis and slang words or text talk. Some slang words of 2014 include lol (laugh out loud)  smh(Shaking my head)  Bae which means (before anyone else). Fleek which is a term meaning on point. Wyd short for what you doing and Wbu meaning what about you. Flex meaning flirting on the down low and juice meaning the same thing. Shade which means a sneaky remark someone says to try and play you. Adults are not as aware of these terms as much as teenagers. Although it can make things easier sometimes i think that it's really better to talk to people face to face.

TOP FIVE SONGS
            Jealous my Nick Jonas, "I still get Jealoussss"This song is by nick Jonas he hasn't been as popular since the Jonas brothers but this song has made him popular again.
           Only By Nikki Minaj , This upbeat song is sure to make you bob your head and nod in agreement this songs new music video was just recently released.
           Amnesia by 5sos , "Wish i could wake up with amnesia" This song by 5sos is one of my favorites it puts a lot of emotions through your mind and is sure to make you think about a break up you've had.
           No type by Rae sermurrd , This song says, "I aint got not no type " a lot but its very catchy and will make you want to dance it made me laugh when i first heard it but it grew on me.
          Tuesday by ILOVEMAKONNEN this song says "Club going up on a Tuesdayyyy got your girl in the club..."  every Tuesday your almost guaranteed to hear someone singing this song.

EXCITING EVENTS
I don't know about anyone else but a exciting event for me was the start of my sophomore year. It was really special and I feel like I will make the most of it. Another exciting event this past year I had was when I had my college tour experience where I got to tour many colleges and also missed a week of school. This year was pretty much drama free which made me really happy I plan on keeping it that way.


TWO THINGS YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE ABOUT YOURSELF
One thing I would like to change about myself is my attitude , because it is not always nice and I'm not always the most friendliest person to be around but I'm trying to change that. The second thing I would change about myself is the friends I keep a lot of people I thought were my friends really weren't and my circle continues to get smaller and smaller. My new year's resolution is to change these two things and a lot of other things. I want to change these things so I can be a better person.



CURRENT EVENT
Ferguson, Missouri  was a recent event that really struck home for me. As you probably know it was a very racist emotional matter for a lot of people and a lot of people felt like Michael Brown didn't have any justice. It spoke to me because me being a African American female I know the struggles of being a minority. I think that what happened was very violent and uncalled for. The protests for Michael Brown became very violent. As I go to this new year I think about the family of Michael Brown not being able to see this next Christmas or new year's. R.I.P all that passed in the year of 2014.

MY WORD OF 2015
 "Blessed" because of how blessed I am . After all that I've been through this past year I'm very grateful for my family and all we have. I picked Blessed because I want to continue to be blessed and highly favored and thankful for all I've been given. I know that some people aren't as blessed and I don't  take that lightly and will continue not to think im just lucky because it is much more than that.  I think that everything happens for a reason including all of the bad experiences. So because of all these reasons I choose the word "Blessed" for 2014-2015.
