D.I.Y. Is a Lie.

By Anonymous -
Hi people, 

This is probably going to turn into a type of rant. You have been warned. 

 If you haven't been living under a rock you know about D.I.Y. trends and all the annoying Pinterest people who create them. The point is to make things on your own, and yet there is no way that I am going to be able to wallpaper my entire house in one afternoon. 

 Another infuriating example is an online tutorial that states that I can make my own sketchbooks at home. What they don't mention is that you can only complete the tutorial if you have book binding glue, a paper cutter, a bone folder, and linen thread.
Where do I even buy one of these?

I do not have any of those things in my house. If I really wanted them, I would have gone to a craft store. If I could go to a craft store, I would have just bought a sketchbook. 

 In the end, I made myself a notebook with random objects I had in my house. It serves its purpose...for now.

    Hahaha, all of those items to make a sketchbook would have been more expensive then to just buy one!

    I personally like the concept of making DIYS. But that does annoy me! They always say "This is SUPER easy! You most likely have the materials laying around at home" as they tell me to get a 20 ft by 10 ft board of wood!

To My Parents,

I'm not terribly good at expressing gratitude. I'm not good with time. Most of the time, I need a reality check. I'm always too stuck in my thoughts to do or say anything important. When I eventually decide to do something, I just end up ruining it.  You two are the only reason that the first paragraph didn't keep going on into infinity. You said I should just get this over with, so I will.  You might not always tell me what I want to hear, but there is no doubt in my mind that you always tell me what I need  to hear. I'm just terrible at listening.  When I say certain things, people look at me like I have five heads, but you actually try to understand what I'm saying. I appreciate that so much because a lot of times I feel like the three of us are the only ones listening.  Unlike most people, you tend to understand me. Even when you don't, I still know that you're trying as hard as you can.  I have no more words because there are too many.

The Beginning and the End of the End

By Anonymous -
Hi people,  Today I am writing about the end of my years at my school. I really didn't want this post to be cliche, but the end of this school year is a massive, all eclipsing issue in my brain right now.  This is because I really don't like that this year is ending. I don't like the idea of being separated from my classmates. I don't like that I have to leave my teachers. I don't like the idea of leaving almost everyone I know for a building full of strangers. I don't like any of it. AT ALL.  Last year was very different. I spent the last day staring at the clock and when the time to leave came, I snatched my report card and ran out of the building. I was the first to leave. I didn't event bother to say goodbye to anyone.  That summer I spent a lot of time thinking, and I started to appreciate my school a lot more.  Now, I can't even go a week without school. Over spring break, I kept thinking about how my classmates would laugh at something

Everybody Loves Homework!

By Anonymous -
Hi people,  My school has been assigning a lot of homework and projects. That is what schools do.  Recently, it has become too much. It has become a regular occurrence for my friends to fall asleep on their homework or stay up into the late hours of the night because they are scared of missing a due date.  Many of them have written posts about this issue. Many of them talk about this issue on a daily basis. Many of them have even confronted our teachers asking for help.  We only get two types of responses.  1. "I only assign homework that you can finish in 30 minutes." 2. "This is preparation for high school." Here are my arguments.  1. I have never completed a '30 minute assignment' in less than an hour. Even if each assignment took only 30 minutes, we have at least seven classes that assign daily homework in addition to projects.  2. By the time I am in high school, I won't even remember these assignments. If school ended in July and s
