17 THINGS IM THANKFUL FOR 

hello all so in the spirit of thanksgiving which is my favorite holiday i wanted to write a blog post about the things i am thankful for in my life i am 17 years old so that is the reason i will give 17 even though there are so many more things i am truly blessed to have..... I hope you all have an amazing thanksgiving filled with love and turkey.

1. I am thankful for God and everything he has given me.

2. I am thankful for my amazing friends and family who I truly believe are the best in the world

3. I am thankful that when there was a hurricane outside last month I was inside safe and sound with a roof over my head and even though that sounds simple I have been to third world countries and having shelter means more than you could imagine

4. I am thankful for my future and even though I dont know what exactly it will hold I can see it and at least I know that it is bright. That is more than enough for now.

5. I am thankful that I have never once been in a desperate need for something that I have always had more than enough.

6. I am thankful for the people I have met and gotten to know and I am thankful for having the ability to love people in general and to be loved by people.

7. I am thankful for the opportunities I have been given. I am thankful for the miricals that have made those opportunities happen. (I am thankful that I was given the opportunity to be on the eastside newspaper board. )

8. I am thankful that I have found my passion photography and that it is something i absolutley love. I am thankful that I get the chance to learn more about it each day and make art.

9. I am thankful to not be scared to try new things, to make a fool of myself, to get involved, and to care too much. My personality is something I will never regret about myself.

10. I am thankful for this beautiful life I have been given and everything in it and to be able to make the most of it while I am here.

I am then going to go black friday shopping with my cousins and sisters at 12 am....... and people wonder why thanksgiving is my all time favorite holiday!!!!!!

new A2B motto: do whatever the f you want

Sry

for the lack of updates (if there is someone out there who reads this). 

There is absolutely no time, especially with the busy schedules me, Angela and Angie have. Anyway, I can't believe next week is December (Dec. 1st is layout day holllla). So let me try to remember what happened in the past month:

Spirit Week was this week, which made everything so much harder because me and Angela were at school till 8 or later every day. I regret not doing spirit week the past 3 years. But seniors won almost every event (except tug-o-war), which was so incredible. If you know the CHE's Class of '13, generally, we do not get along with one another or work well together. But somehow we pulled it all together, and it brought us closer. LOVE MY CLASS of '13 

Also, shoutout to Mr. Gagliardi who is the Freshmen advisor for the Class of '16. Freshmen did so well this year, and beat the sophomores. And Gagz showed off his mad dance skillz during the Freshmen dance.

Sidebar-- we created an Eastside instagram! The picture above is from the instagram. Follow @cheeastsidephoto! http://instagram.com/cheeastsidephoto

Furthermore, during Journalism last week, Gagz was going over website statistics, and A2B gave the website 7 hits. I thought it was hilarious, but THANK YOU. Much appreciated... Keep checking the Eastside website you guys!

There is definitely more that happened the past month, but I don't remember nor do I feel like talking about it. So goodbye

P.S. A2B video/radio show in the works... I think... idk

Snake Venom would make a good band name

Layout Day, le deuxième

Hellooooooo 
(is it me you're looking for?)

Today's November issue layout day was especially different...
Neither Angela nor Brittany were present, because they had higher academic obligations to attend to.
It all started at around 8:30 AM for me, for the first half-hour or so I sat on the metal stool and pretended to look busy-- sifting through photos and black/white & .tiff-ing them, attempting to get a start on my psychology homework and abstract. Oh, and Angela called me to check up on me, that was nice of her.

After that I did not have much to do. I couldn't really handle all of the commotion and music in the background, so I went out into the hallway and called up Jenny. She was my shrink for the 50 minutes we were on the phone. When I came back into F087, things toned down a bit and I took a seat on the couch. Zoe and I watched an episode of Girls.

Then SUDDENLY after a long period of doing nothing people started coming up to me asking for minute favors. So I guess that was something. I think things would have been more fun if Angela and Britt were there today, but they wouldn't have had much to do either. Wellllllp.

I'm eating grilled salmon right now so I guess this is goodbyeeeeeee (for now).
