Happy late 4th of July, everybody in America!
I’m going to combine Friday & Saturday, because this tip applied to both days. Heck, it even applied to Thursday. Guess thats part of my teen years, trying new stuff…don’t worry, it doesn’t include bad stuff!
TIP #4 – TRY SOMETHING NEW!
Cool, I even tried a new color too – purple. I’m not a huge fan of purple but it looks alright haha. Okay, lets see. For my July 4th, I decided to hang out in my pool and watch gigantic fireworks, courtest of my friend 2 houses down. And the view was seriously breathtaking. I’ve seen plenty of fireworks just like the rest of us but this actually caught my attention big time. Because I’m in Florida, my family is all, AH don’t go in the backyard at night, there’s mosquitoes! Whatcha gonna do? That’s why you got citronella candles & Benadryl. It was worth it & amazingly, I never did that in my fifteen years of life :P
Also something new: ICE-SKATING! Saturday, my sister invited me to ice-skating with her friends. First I was reluctant, not because I’m hanging out with her friends (7-8 years older than me) because we’ve all done that before, but because I knew I am such a clutz and would not pick up ice-skating at all. But I went, because I knew my sister was scared just like me, and atleast now I can say I WENT ICE-SKATING, in Florida, during my summer! I fell once and brought down my sis and her friend (that’s what you get for helping haha). And I spent my entire time dragging myself along the sides! No lie! I kind of regret not letting go and falling that second, or third, or fourth time but hey I’m still alive and not hurting :) And the ice-rink will always be there. I’m not fond of my memory of getting screamed at to get off the rink because the Zamboni was coming out! Uhhh….I can slide around the sides that easy & I was so desperate I felt like crying and just crawling over to the exit. I would’ve too…
So all in all, try something new. Even if you fail horribly, like I did with Ice-Skating, you can still say you did it. It’s one more thing you can add to your life achievements :)

Everyone should try ONCE.
Yikes, I have 3 tips to write up!! Atleast I do have a pretty good memory of what I did the last three days :)
TIP #3 – SAY YES.
This came from Thursday, July 3rd. I was just chillin out around the house and my brother randomly asks want to go to Tilly’s? He just needed new shirts but he knew I was doin nothin and it is my summer break afterall. So I was thinking, that’s so random…but I said SURE! I figured I would be doin nothin at all if I stayed at home. We actually went to three different stores and it was really nice! I’ve never really hung out with just my brother and simply saying yes to an offer really made a difference! In addition to hanging with my big bro, my mom also took me to Red, Hot & Boom (a pre-July 4th celebration) after work so that was sweet of her too since I didn’t get to go out with my friends. So my advice? Go for whatever opportunity presents itself…it just may be beneficial.
PLUS, I got a cool Hurley book bag :D I have to remember for the rest of my life too because it was just too cool of him! By the way, if you’re reading this blog you’ve gotta be smart enough to say no when applicable :P
