Un-resolution

These years I would like to stop thinking that math word problems are hard, when actually they are really easy, every time I don't understand a word problem on Aleks when clicking on explanation and I look the explanation, I start to think myself how in the world I didn't do the word problem that it clearly was easy to do. My mom sometimes says that maybe I'm the one who is thinking that word problems are hard and if actually pay close attention to every detail in the problem I would probably figure it out and solve it without overthinking and stressing myself out when solving the problem.

My Un-Resolution

My un-resulotion is to stop having to walk in between the lines. I don't know why but I can't walk on lines. I have a serious problem here in the school because there are 12 by 12 in. squares and my feet are really big. Sometimes my friends look over at me and I'm looking at the ground and skipping steps. They think I am super weird when I do that. I'm just like, '' Deal wit it.'' (and yes I meant to spell it wrong.) That is the #1 thing that bugs me the most and I can't stop it no matter how hard I try.

My Un-Resolution

My Un-Resolution

         My Un-Resolution is to stop doing things three times. My favorite number is three so I have to do things three times. For example, if I'm in class and I'm chewing gum and I pop a bubble once I have to do it two more times to equal three.  It happens everyday. I will be walking in the halls and I take two steps into the classroom I will walk out and come back in taking three steps. It is so bad sometimes that I will get in trouble by my parents. I will be in the store and I pick up a pack of gum. And my mom says lets go. She starts walking and I pick the gum up again and set it back down. I do that three times. Next thing I know I'm getting called by one of the workers to go to the front because my mom is waiting for me. Its a really bad habit and I'm hoping to break it.

                                         My un-resolution

  My New Years un-resolution is to stop procrastinating and actually do my work! I've been putting things off ever since last year, or even before that. I NEED TO STOP! If I don't get my work done, I will get terrible grades and I won't be able to be in this class! I really love this class. I always tell myself, "If I don't do it tonight, I can just do it in flex time". It never gets done though. I just need to get my homework done right when I get home from school before I do anything else. My un-resolution for 2017 is to stop procrastinating.

My Un-Resolution

My Un-Resolution

          My UN-resolution is to use my phone less. My phone is a big distraction to me when I need to get my homework done. I'm on my phone most of the time. Getting my homework done  is usually a struggle because of my phone. I always wait to the last second to do my homework. Something I'm going to start doing to make getting my homework done faster is limit the time I that i use my phone. Whenever I'm doing my homework I need to put my phone in a completley different room. My UN-resolution is to limit the time I use my phone.

My Un-resolution

       My un-resolution this year is to stop procrastinating. I tend to procrastinate and wait till the last week or last day to turn in assignments, but not anymore! I always thought I would have enough time if I waited until the end. I have found out that this method is not the best. I always got very swamped from homework and extra schoolwork when it was near the due date. In conclusion, from now on I will not procrastinate and get my schoolwork turned in on time!

My un-resolution

My New Year un-resolution is to not procrastinate I have a bad habit of putting things off until the last minute. For example, the other day I was talking to Lexi and said, "I know what my blog post should be on, procrastination." Then without even thinking I said, " I think i'll do it during flex tomorrow." So that explains why I'm writing this paper the night before the assignment is due. This leads to me having to hurry and hope that I will be able to finish my assignment in time. But I think I found a solution, reward myself every time I finish a assignment. Like I will give myself some chocolate or another treat so that I will be motivated to actually finish it. Hopefully this method will work and I can get some assignments done before its due.

My Unresalution

       My unresolution this year is to stay out of what some teachers call "lala land". However, it's not as easy as it seems.... When I'm bored, I read. When I'm frustrated, I read. When I'm angry, stressed, confused, sad, or anxious, I read. Reading calms me and helps me to think straighter. However, I don't always have a book, so I've started to make up stories. The stories come from Lala Land. They're from all over and about all sorts of people, all mostly are made up. These stories come at random times. In the middle of math, my eyes might glaze over as I find the perfect line for my book..."He turned around. There was no way he would go see it. something with that much power shouldn't be moved. He willed his feet to to towards the exit, but his feet had turned to stone, unmoving, frozen. Come on! he urged, but it was useless. He looked back toward the glow. Curiosity took over. Zombie like, he crept toward the light. A golden box rested on a tall table. He ran his fingers along the it. It was rough. The gold box seemed to glow against the dark stone. Again he willed himself to turn around. Leave, leave! His hand stretched out toward the box. Stop, leave! His mind was screaming, It isn't worth it! He squinted his eyes shut and bit back a scream. His fingers brushed the cold metal of the box. They lifted it. Then his eyes betrayed him too, slowly they opened..." As easy as this should be, I don't think this resolution is going to last more than one flex.

Un-Resolution

UN- Resolution

My UN-Resolution is to stop being mean to my brothers. Sometimes my brothers are really annoying and they get on my nerves. Since, one of my brothers is nine, my older brother is eighteen and only have one sister but she's nineteen. It gets pretty tense in my house. Most of the time I get in trouble for being mean to my brothers. Which concludes, for me being a nicer sister to my brothers

                                               Un-resolution

My un-resolution is to stop being so awesome. I am just so cool and I need to be more humble. It is not okay to be so dang awesome. I think that my class mates are so gelos that they can't even look at me for very long. One way to do that is to make others feel awesome too. I will tell people that they look fabulous even though I might look better than them. I will think about others and not just how cool I am. Others need to feel the feeling of being awesome too. I need to share that feeling with everyone. This will be such a good un-resolution because I need to be less awesome and others need be more awesome.

My UN-Resolution

My un-resolution is to procrastinate less. For instance, I'm turning this in only a day or two before it's due, and I have had plenty of extra time where I could have done it during this month. This is a bad example of not procrastinating. Last year it was a real problem. In the honors language arts class last year we had to write a summary for basically every Beehive book. I would usually end up doing most of it the night before. This year I want to try and get my work done early or at least not put the whole thing off until the last minute. I mean if I'm finishing up a few little things the last day it's no big deal. I just don't want to do the whole thing the day before it's due. Who knows this might actually give me more free time because it'll be less stressful and I might be able to get it done faster. To sum it up, for my un-resolution I'm going to procrastinate less this year.

Unresolution

I want to stop being quite so nice. I'd say I'm a naturally courteous person, and I need to stop be like that so much. I don't press when people but in front of me, or when they leave me to clean up a mess. I don't comment when I'm the one writing everything, and gathering all the supplies. Not that I'm always a little angel. Occasionally I snap at people who won't leave me alone, or keep insisting their right (even when I know with every fiber of my being that they aren't.) I get annoyed when people do stupid things, or don't do something right, but because I am like I am, I don't usually say anything. Which is bad. When my partners realize that I'm willing to do entire projects by myself if it means getting a good grade, they start slacking off, and I let them. I need to stop doing everything myself, and start telling my teachers that I've done my part, but they haven't done theirs. I've always been somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to certain things, so when someone doesn't do something, I do it for them. So, being less nice, is my new years resolution.

My UN-Resolution

My UN-Resolution

I tend to read a lot at night, sometimes i can sleep so i take out my flashlight and book and read.
I get caught up in reading and its mostly when i will go to school the next day and i end up sleeping like at 2:00 am and the very next day i am tired and cant really work very well. I have been caught by my parents and gotten in trouble but i keep doing it no matter what. I'm going to have to stop the tentetion of reading at night and do it in the day so i dont get little sleep and i can work well in school. To wrap it all up, that is my UN-Resolution  i want to leave behind in 2016!! 

                                                                   My Un-resolution


My un-resolution is to stop using inappropriate language wherever I am at. When I am with my friends, they use language when I am with them. I have gotten so use to hearing it that I started using it around my friends and family, and I want to stop using language, but it is so hard when you hear and use it everyday around family and friends. I hope the force is with me while I try to stop using language around my family and friends.

My Un-resolution

        My un-resolution is that I need to stop saying "no". Yes it sounds silly, but I need to stop saying no to myself and others around me. Some days I'll say to myself, "You should go eat a really healthy snack". But then I tell myself "NO! There are doughnuts in the house and I am not just going to let them sit there, with their perfect glaze on top, shining in the kitchen light." My mouth is just watering talking about it. Then, when my mom asks me to clean my room I will mumble "no" and we all know how that turns out. So I am making an un-resolution to stop saying no.

                                                      My Unresolution

     My Unresolution is to stop eating whenever I want to. When I get home from school, I go straight to my pantry to look for a snack. My mom usually comes out of her room and says hi and ask me what I did at school. So I tell her and afterwards, I finish my snack and take a nap or do homework or go on my phone. When I'm done with whatever I did, I want to eat something else. So I have another snack and nobody cares. But when I eat to much, my mom gets mad at me. She tells me that it's almost time for dinner and that if I eat it, I'll be to full. I usually listen to her, but when she's not home I eat a huge snack. So this year I'm gonna make things right and stop eating whenever I want. Now that I've wrote this, I want to eat a cookie.    : )

My Un-resolution

     My un-resolution is to stop being like Darth Vader. I think I look weird trying to be like him. For example; when I get angry I try to choke-force someone. But I just stand there awkwardly holding my hand out thinking i'm being awesome. Also, another thing is when I was at my friends house I saw his dog and told a pineapple to,"BLAST DOWN THAT REBEL SPY!!!". I'm not allowed over there anymore. But if I try to stop being Darth Vader who should I act like. Yoda?? No, too old. Can you suggest something?

My Un-Resolution

Something I need to stop doing this year is procrastinating when taking out the garbage. I always look at it and it's full but I just always think I have something better to do, even when I am doing nothing! Then on Monday when the trash guy comes the garbage's are full and I don't take them out so then we just have trash bags laying around the house and my parents get mad at me. I don't even know why I do it either I just look right at it and I'm like "I'm TOTALLY gonna do it later." Ya... I'm stupid.

Un-resolution

My un-resolution is to stop hoarding things. I've always had this problem. At some points I feel like I shouldn't share. I need to stop hoarding things! This is a really bad problem and it needs to come to a stop. I don't know why I feel like I hoard things. It is just the first thing I do even though it is wrong. Next time I will think before I act and try to stop hoarding stuff!!!!!

                           My Un resolution 

My un resolution is to stop using my phone.Sadly it is not working.I guess I'm just too addicted to my phone.Sometime i'll be doing homework I'm then a notification pops up and i can't help my self I must check it.Even my writing has gotten weird.I keep wanting to shorten everything, but I will stop my addiction (eventually).

My Unresolution

My unresolution for the year is to stop eating the last part of the food. I know this is strange but it is something I always do. Whenever my sister makes brownies or cookies I always make sure I have the last one. I have no clue why I do this but I do. I even sometimes eat the last slice of cake or pie from my families birthday cake. Sometimes I also snack on the last leftovers we have which sometimes makes my mom mad. Well this will probably only last for about a week but I least I will try. That is why my unresolution is to stop eating the last portion of the food.

My Un-resolution

My un-resolution is to stop stuffing my face with cookie dough when no one is watching...Wait, did I say that out loud? What I meant to say was that my un-resolution is to...uh...what was it again? Oh, right. My 2017 un-resolution is to stop waiting until the last minute to do my ALEKS topics. I know, I know, I shouldn't procrastinate these things. But it's math, and no one likes it. This will be a very hard goal for me because I already have karate almost everyday, and I care more about writing. But I am going to try my best to not procrastinate my ALEKS topics. Or, maybe not...

My Unresolution is to Stop Boasting

My Unresolution is to Stop Boasting            

               As awesome as I may be when I encounter somebody on the street and they ask me, "How is your life going?" I answer, "Very well. I am acing all of my school classes, finished an ALEKS pie in one week, keep second placing (I will have revenge on this one kid very soon) in MATHCOUNTS and the Geckothon, almost ran an under 6 min mile. How is yours?" Is that really what they want to hear or would they just prefer me saying it is okay? But they did ask didn't they? I mean I may have the brains of Einstein, and a very athletic body (I said I am working on it) but is that what they want to hear or is that rude and incredible mean? I don't normally compare somebody to myself unless they offend me or some how beat me. Do I really need to show off, though? In most competitions I try to lay low so that if I don't win or if I am not even in the final 10 I don't look like a loser. I know that this resolution is going to be a hard one to keep (Hey, what are you laughing about? Most Americans don't keep their resolutions.) But as the bumper sticker on the back of a min-van says,"If you put you mind to it, anything is possible." 

My Un-Resolution

My Un-Resolution is to stop being a kid. It's been hard trying to be a teenager instead of a kid. I think if i work on being more mature, i would no longer be one. But who knows, is it just me who thinks i'm a kid, or is it other people too? This would have to be my greatest un-resolution.

My un-resolution joke

My un-resolution is to keep on annoying Brennar. I haven't been doing much to annoy him lately and I lately have realized that he wants to be annoyed, so much that he practically begs me to annoy him. So I have decided to make his life "better" one little flick at a time. When he wants to read, I'll keep on closing his book, when he is on the computer I will start turning it off. If he asks me to stop I'll know that he is just begging for more. I'm sure you will see a huge difference with Brennar, he will start being happier and he will enjoy life more.

                                                             New Years Resolution


     My new years resolution is to stop fighting and arguing with my siblings. Every time they do something to me like laugh at me and even if they're just being annoying sometimes I start to argue with them or I end up hitting them, good thing I have mostly brothers. but don't worry I don't hit them hard. But that's my new years resolution so far it isn't coming out as I planned but ill get there.

My Un-Resolution 

My un-resolution this year is to stop day dreaming when I'm not supposed to. I have no idea how, but whenever I read a book, I have to read the same page over again three times because I have no idea what I just read. Happens every time. It happens sometimes when I'm writing, too. If I'm in class.....*I forgot about math homework....* Wait, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, day dreaming. If I'm in class, I'll start writing, then look outside the window, and then when I come back to reality, I have two minutes left to finish a five-paragraph essay and I have two words written. I don't think that I'm the only one who struggles with day dreaming, either. I haven't exactly met a kid my age who sits in math and goes: "Ooooo fractions...." Then they completely pay attention. Only the kids I've met, of course. I'm sure that a ton of kids don't have that problem. I'm just lucky, I guess. So this year, I will stop..... *I left my dog outside in the rain.... I hope he's okay...* Oh shoot I did it again...... Anyway, this year, I will stop day dreaming for my un-resolution. Good luck with all of your un-resolutions! *I hope they're easier than mine....* :)

My Un-Resoulution

My Un-Resolution is to stop eating when I'm bored. This issue makes me gain some pounds. Many days of my life get pretty lonely, so I listen. I hear the leftover Taco bell call my name. I just can't help myself. Over the years I kinda found a solution. DON'T EAT! I have to make myself not eat, and that's not easy when you are a growing child who needs food in order to function... But I guess it's worth being starving when you want to stop eating extra. Right? WRONG! I need to eat so I bust through the pantry door and open up a fresh bag of lays potato chips and then I will probably re-write this whole paragraph about why I should stop peeing in the pool........ Because we all know I can't stick to a diet...

My Family Traditions

Usually a the end of the year my family likes to make Holiday fruit punch, but these year my mom tried to make tamales and when making them at the last step, I tried to help my mom putting the sauce on top and adding the chicken, then she did the rest and when the tamales where done cooking everyone of my family grab one and eat it. They were really good, I possible ate like 3 tamales. My father these year didn't want to make fruit punch, so my mom did it and she did make it only in a different way to the way my father does it, at first I was like emm that looks gross, but then when I tasted it wasn't actually bad. The fruit punch only lasted a few days, and for my luck when I wanted a little bit more of fruit punch it was already gone. : (

Christmas Traditions

                    Our family Christmas traditions are all celebrated with family and friends. Here is what we do, bowling on Christmas eve, cereal exchange, breakfast with friends and family, find a pickle ornament and open presents and then have a big dinner. After Christmas day we head up to my cabin in Brian Head and ski, snowmobile, and have a dance party for the new year. We get bruised tailbones from tubing and sledding. After that we can barely walk, but it's totally worth it. I hope you had fun doing your traditions Merry Christmas and a happy 2017. 

New Years Resolution

I've had issues I guess I would say in the past I didn't really believe it but as time went on it started getting obvious.The tiniest things started to tick me off and I would end up doing things i really wouldn't think I would do but it happened.I tried to just avoid things that made me mad but it didn't really work out because I pay attention to a lot I can see that now. I've gotten in a lot of trouble in the past because of these issues like beating people up.I plan on trying to obtain my anger by breathing and learning how to do other things than trying to solve them my own way.Hopefully by doing this I can be a better communicator and a more likable person i'd say but who knows I might mess it up like I always do but who cares ha ha because I don't really.

Un-Resoloution

                My New Years UN-Resoloution is to stop drinking soda. Ive been not drinking soda at home for the past couple months, but the hard part is when we go out to eat that's the hard part! I can go on forever at home, but as soon as we go out to eat its a whole different story the cans of sugar just go so well with Restaurant/Fast food, But this year its gonna be different I'm gonna do it if I can do it at home I can do it there just as easy. So come on Pepsi Come at me.

My unresolution

My un-resolution this year is to have a good positive attitude every day! I seem to not be up and at it when I have a negative outlook on everything that I think of. Whenever I have a good attitude I feel the urge to do anything I want to! Having a negative attitude puts me in a way where I can't do anything useful. Whenever I feel positive I feel like i'm on top of the world! It feels amazing! That is why I want to wake up, spend the day, and go to bed with a good positive attitude! Sometimes I have to look at the good in things to have a good to change my grumpy, negative attitude into a good positive one!

Un-resolution

 My un-resolution is to stop biting my nails. I have had that problem since I was in 5th grade. Ever since that day I just can't stop biting my nails. Even when I don't have any nail left to bite I still find a way to bite my nails. No matter the pain I go through I just can't stop biting my nails. So that is going to be my un-resolution, to try to stop biting my nails. I hope I succeed in this un-resolution.

My Unresolution

     I had a resolution, to stop eating sugar for 1 month. Its an unresolution now, because I only lasted 4 days, it was just for January, and I started on January 2nd. I made it until Thursday. I was eating strawberries and crackers for breakfast, and when we came back to school, I ate a chicken sandwich, with a TINY bit of BBQ sauce, because it had sugar, and nothing else. My mom was doing it too, but she's still going, so she made sugar-free stuff for dinner, which I ate when I was sugar free. The whole reason I stopped was because of how little I was eating, my mom said I was skinny enough, but I wasn't doing it to lose weight, I just felt like doing it. So that's my unresolution, but I'm happy to be eating sugar again!

My Favorite Christmas Tradition

My family has many Christmas traditions, but one of our favorites is going to my grandparents' and having a holiday game night! First, we always eat breakfast for dinner, like pancakes, sausage, bacon, etc. Then we begin the game playing! We always do a white elephant gift exchange, and do a fun challenge game. The rules are, that you have to put on oven mitts and try to unwrap a gift that has been wrapped over and over again. We also just play card games, like Phase 10,  Rook, Uno, Etc. These are my favorite Christmas traditions, because the whole family can have fun together!

The Unresolution

         I have suffered a very serious eating disorder, it ruins every fast food meal I've ever eaten. It's that force that makes you smell those greasey, crunchy french fries on your way back from the fast food restaurant. But wait it gets worse, that force takes control of your hand and stuffs the fries into your mouth.  My Unresolution is to over come that force, and take back my power to save them for home. I know it will not be easy, I may be thinking way over my head but I know I can find ways to get around it.  My first idea was to duct tape my hand to the seat, but I realized my parents might think I am a bigger dork then they thought.  I thought up another plan and then said, " Eh this seems like a problem for 2018." That is my unresolution, infact I've had the same unresolution for the last 3 years.  Hopefully I beat the disorder next year.

January Blog Post: Due January 31st

Welcome to 2016! This is the time of year when people make resolutions, or goals, of things they want to do to better themselves.

I want you to write an un-resolution! What is one thing that you can STOP doing during 2016? Write one, well-developed paragraph. You can make it earnest (I want to stop being mean to my little brother) or humorous (I want to stop peeing in the pool). Make it real, funny if you choose, most of all: have FUN writing!

Christmas Tradition

   One of my favorite Christmas traditions is getting together with family! We always pick a name out of the whole family to get them a present. Adults get another adult and all the cousins get another cousin! Most of the time you would get a toy ,but my family does your favorite treat or snack! Most of the cousins ask for hot chettos or takis. Another tradition is a rice pudding game. First, my aunt gets as many cups as we need to have. Then, she puts 2 almonds in the pudding. To win the game you have to show my aunt the two almonds in your mouth. If you win you get a fun prize! Those are two of my favorite Christmas Tradition!

Christmas Tradition

Christmas Tradition

           Every year on Christmas eve, my mom and aunt make tamales for our friends and family. On Christmas eve my cousins come and visit us all the way from San Antonio, Texas. My mom and aunt are in the kitchen all day making a week supply tamales. My other aunt usually takes the kids to the mall or The movies. Last Christmas, My cousin, uncle, and I went to watch the movie Krampus. On Christmas day, we go to Pine Valley Mountain to sleigh. When we come home me and my dad watch basketball. One of the many reasons I love Christmas is to spend time with family.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas

     In my family, one of our favorite traditions is reading "The Night Before Christmas." Every year on Christmas Eve, my relatives and family gather together to have a Christmas party. Personally, I like spending time with my relatives on Christmas Eve just as much as I like Christmas day. During Christmas Eve we all feast upon a giant dinner and then it's time for presents. After we open presents, everybody gathers around to listen to " The Night Before Christmas." I love this tradition because as we sit there and listen, it's so quiet and peaceful. To me, this tradition is a necessity. In my family, this is a tradition that goes way back. Both my mom and dad used to read "The Night Before Christmas" on Christmas Eve. In my opinion, reading "The Night Before Christmas" is the most memorable and loved tradition of the Holiday season.

Christmas traditions

   
                                                         Christmas Traditions

               My family has tons of Christmas traditions. My favorite of them is probably when we go up to Ogden and go skiing. Ever family probably goes skiing or have Snow ball fights or something like that but ours is what I always look forward to. I am an awesome skier (not to brag) however I was horrible at it the first time I began. Now I can hit black diamonds (some of the hardest ski paths) like they are nothing. My Sister Sierra is a complete pro at it even though she is not in the Olympics. It is so much fun accelorating down the biggest hill going 100 miles per hour. It is a great family fun activity (even though it cost about 50 bucks a person per day) that gives everyone an awesome time. I love sking so much that we go every year as a Christmas traditions.
