"look at me, look at me" . or "i hope they like me" have you ever try to say this to yourself? Never has it been so easy to publish your every move! Suddenly it has become pivotal for everyone to be informed that "chessa is going to sleep" or that "chessa is so upset about HIM". while the need for attention is merely human, the perpetual need for it can be alarming.

HighScool Vs. College
My freshman and sophomore year went by so fast I don’t even remember much of it. I just remember telling myself that I was going to be here forever. I was a quiet kid. I had long hair,. I had a small group of friends, and I never really did any sports, but extracurricular activities ahm... yes, I am the past Vice President of our Campus but Im a little bit shy girl .. I guess you can say I was your typical nerdy kid. I started playing this game called tamaguchi. This game ruined almost half of my high school career. I would go to school, and I would sleep in all my classes because the night before I was up late playing this game. I never did anything besides play this game. I would rush home and play until I had to go to sleep. This game was more addictive than surfing the net.. Some nights I was up until five in the morning, meaning I would be getting roughly a little less than two hours of sleep if I had to wake up for school the next morning. If I could go back in time, I would go back to the moment where I first looked at that game, and punch myself in the face repeatedly until I swore to myself that I would never buy it.
Highschool was the best four years of my life. I got in a lot
of trouble in thoses years, but also had a blast. Now at ASIAN TOURISM INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE it is so different than high school, and my eyes are being opened
to a whole new world. In you can get away with just about anything.
ATI College is a whole different story.
High school begins at eight o'clock, and ends around 5 pm as.in whole day long writing n our activity sheets. You go to the same seven or eight classes every day. You also see the same people you have grown up with since you were little. You have sports season, school dances, after school activities, clubs, boys, plays, and a ton of homework. Also sitting through assemblies, dress codes,and who could forget getting sent to the office for misbehaving.
College is a whole new step. You go away to an environment all new to you. You have to leave your friends, and set out to make new relationships to last a lifetime. It is an emotional step a lot
of kids are not ready for. You no longer have mom and dad to be at your side to help you through your every problem. You now have to become responsible and rely on yourself, and your new friends. You are introduced to new things such as parties, alcohol, drugs, and sex. You also can decide to take the step of joining the Greek Club and pledging to a sorority or fraternity. Your classes in college are based around whatever you are majoring in so you only attend those classes. You need to really take college seriously because you are building steps to your future, and what you will be doing the rest of your life. You can schedule your classes when they are convenient for you, and you have to live on campus for the first few years. You can go to class when you feel like it, and not have to worry about mom and dad nagging...
..I've just entered my 1st step in college I know that this is a very important year. I have a lot of decisions to make and not much time to make them. These decisions will either make or break my life, and I want to make sure that I make them to the best of my ability because there is no turning back. I need to make sure I definitely want to attend college. The decision is totally up to me. There are many positives and negatives of attending college. Go over them, and then decide. I know myself better then anyone else, and I won't let anyone else tell me what to do. I will make sure if I am going to attend college that I have something in mind that I will want to do, to succeed in. Choosing a major can be a very stressful situation so why not sit down and take some time to do it? Be creative, don't rush, give yourself plenty of time and really think about what interests you in life.!

G O S S I P .
It happens to everyone at one time or another. You walk into a room or up to a table at lunch where everyone had been talking and laughing, and suddenly there’s silence. Or maybe people who are normally nice to you suddenly start giving you funny looks and don’t want to talk to you.
Odds are when this happens you’ve become the target of gossip. Someone started a rumor about you that’s being passed around the school. It’s probably something silly, unbelievable and untrue, but that doesn’t mean it won’t change people’s opinions of you. Sometimes it is true, and that can hurt even more because you probably shared a secret with a friend and suddenly it was all over school.
A lot of gossip has to do with relationship. Someone might start a rumor that you’re secretly dating someone no one likes, or that you’re having sex with a bunch of different people. Other popular rumors have to do with the object of the gossip being poor, overweight, unattractive, bad at sports, having trouble at school, or getting in trouble with the law.
Other teens, in particular girls, tend to focus on the one thing in your life you’re most insecure about and develop the perfect little lie to make you feel horrible when you hear about it. That’s often the point of gossip: to hurt another person’s feelings.
It’s easy to say that you shouldn’t let it bother you when you know people are talking about you behind your back, but it’s a much more difficult thing to actually do that. It is best, however, if you’d don’t try to confront the person who you think started the rumor or try to disprove whatever the accusation was. These tactics will probably just make the situation worse.
If the rumor is so bad you feel the need to defend yourself, try to make a joke out of it. If someone asks you if it is true, laugh it off and say “can you believe (whoever started the rumor) would say such a thing.” You can even try spreading the rumor around yourself by saying “have you heard what (that person) is saying about me? Isn’t that crazy?”
If you can be cool in the face of gossip and not freak out when you hear a story that’s being spread about it, its likely people will stop making up rumors about you. The reaction is the main reason people spread rumors, and having a fit just makes it look like the rumor is true.
So stay calm and the rumor will die down quickly. They are just a piece of Shit. :)
