It's nearly the end of the year and I'm speechless which is pretty rare since I talk a mile a minute. The holidays are quickly approaching and ending meaning it's gonna be a new year which filled with uncertainty. 

With each day there's a passing birthday and a holiday that's soon to be celebrated. It's December and it's the month of celebration. Following the festivities comes present or gift. It doesn't matter how you say it, cause they're all a just of bundle of joy. But let me be honest finding and getting a gift is quite stressful sometimes. It can be expensive and you don't know what to get the other person. Thus this guide was built! :p

Just a couple of days ago, the sole winner of the $700 million lottery was just announced and with that lottery fever slowly died down. I might never see a sight such as an ordinary woman purchasing $200 worth of lottery tickets in a single day, or to see my father race around Chinatown to purchase a single lotto ticket from numerous stores for the fun of it. This will be an image that will probably stick with me till my untimely death, but hey I'm only like a teen! I got years to go... I hope... (That turned dark)

If you're curious about why I am talking about a lottery that no one can win, then I'll inform you. It made me think about this particular comment I read on Youtube one day which prompted a debate about this particular human being who happened to well known in the social media business and quite wealthy. This particular human being which I'm not going to name didn't feel contempt with their life at one point and felt pressured by society to act a certain way.  I noticed half of the replies to the comment was things such as, "Yes, because there are so many things to be depressed about when you made millions of dollars on stupid little things."


This led to me to become curious about a question that has no true answer.

                                           "Does being wealthy bring happiness?"

H-E double hockey sticks yes it does! (I'm basically saying Hell the way my Catholic school made us say it.) I mean I could pay off my loan, my mortgage, my house! Scratch that, I could sell my house and move into the nice part of New York City where thousands of tourist crowds around and there isn't any horrible traffic.  Wait that doesn't exist... New York traffic is cruddy. Plain cruddy.

 If you haven't caught on, I'm joking. I can't actually buy a lottery ticket now, can I? That would be an "illegal" action. Well unless I hire a certain somebody to make me a fake ID which I am of course joking again.  These are what I'm assuming are the thoughts that pass through the lottery buying human beings participating in this craze.
Out of all seriousness, the idea of having money is fascinating. The ideas seem to be endless when you have a cash flow for once. You could buy a nice fancy car, clothes or even friends that are real as a unicorn. There are always two sides to every story though.

My global teacher once told my small class a life lesson on greed and how it changed a family. I'm not actually sure if this story is actually true or false, but I'll tell you it anyway. There was a family who was like a tightly knitted glove, and by a miracle, they won a lottery.  This became the tipping point for the family. The once tightly knitted family that everyone knew broke and crumbled into pieces. Eventually, they became broke and homeless and the saddest part of all is when everything else failed they didn't have each other.

This basically shows how sometimes money isn't meant to be in the hands of a select few. It's probably why rich people remain rich people. It's not like they burn through their cash like some of us will. Money is like a flame. If you're not careful with it, the flame could manifest and become uncontrollably. It would consume everything in its path whether past relationship, friendship and your sanity. However, if you learn how to tame the flame, it could transform into a fire which can be a tool to your disposable and help you through life.

I'm now going to assume that not most of the human population is tempted or gullible enough to be consumed by the greed and think about what factors could being rich bring out. Here one, fake people.

We all had our share of fake people at one point in our life. It's something we can't control and sadly can't being out among the masses. If you were slightly richer than your peers, you might be surrounded by a few. People are attracted to wealth after all.


Negativity assigned, wealth can be a pretty neat thing as long as you're not a fool and spend it all in the first get-go. If you're surrounded by the right set of people and mindset than that's fine.



I hope this post happened to be randomly entertaining or didn't bore you death. This was my second attempt to write this post, so hopefully, everything made sense as I wrote this at 1 am and re-wrote this at 11.26 pm which is a bit late.... : I

Sleep. There are probably thousands of thing we would rather do than drift off to sleep. Instead of being productive for 24 hours, we are stuck in the cycle of sleep. Trapped inside our own dreams we weave of our perception of life rather than binge watching Goblin. What's the point of sleeping when there's coffee.

Sleep is actually important for us. It's not only a natural way to start the day fresh and energized rather than chugging caffeine loaded with cups of sugar; it can be a game changer when we are talking about our skin which is why we have the expression beauty sleep.

When you get your beauty sleep, you will be less likely to have wrinkles aka have fewer wrinkle. When we sleep, our skin produces new collagen which allows our skin to become plumper and prevents wrinkle. The more sleep you get, the less wrinkle you'll secum to. If you don't have enough beauty sleep, your skin will be left drier exposing the lines.

As we sleep, blood flows through our body including our skin. Sleeping allows the blood flow to make it's way to our skin giving us a healthy glow rather than looking like a ghost or dull. If you notice yourself having dull skin try getting more sleep

The most visible sign of lack of sleep are dark circles and bags under your eyes.  When you have enough sleep your dark circle will be less visible and your puffiness will decrease. You might be able to get away without wearing concealer. Just make sure to keep hydrated to help reduce swelling. Also, before you sleep keep out of contact with any electronic devices cause tey might irritate your eyes.

As you drift away to dream land, your skin is working it's job which is repairing itself. It is able to focus repairing since it's not distracted by the daytime factor like sun and harmful bacteria that you come in contact with through out the day.

Hello! I decided to do another school related post cause I'm here freaking out about taking an exam in a few days even though technically school starts next month. Oh, I'm going to be salty in this post... I think that is the term, but I probably will be extremely sarcastic.

Walking into freshman year I was petrified. I was honestly expecting the worst. Fights, drugs, a whole lot of indecency that can be called "youth"! No one really told me what to expect. The only advice my brother who was a senior was I think not to get into fights or something. I forgot...

I'll give you a list of tips based on my high school experience. I really do hope this helps.


Do Not Focus On Losing Your First Time 

I really wish I didn't have to type this out, but I think it needed to be said. I have met a fellow freshman who had a goal of losing their first time either by the end of freshman year or end of high school. At least pass biology or health first.... There was a girl in my school who wanted desperately lose her first time. She asked an older guy in our school to make out. He rejected the offer but got swoon in. Long story short, her nudes were spread around and the guy was either expelled or in jail.  Also, does it matter if I say they didn't actually use protection...Just saying.

Surround yourselves with good nature people. 
They can give you the most honest and helpful advice you can get. The girl that I mention had pretty nice friends. They told her it was a bad idea and tried to stop her. Words only get you so far though. She did it anyways and since that incident they have't been on each other good side. One of her friends even asked the guy not to spread it and delete it. In the end, their friendship got broken. I might be a bit bias considering I am friends with the ones who gave her the advice, but I really know that they cared for her to actually try to help her. They didn't fake it trying to help her if you might think that, since I bare witness to their long discuss which really should have been done in private...

Don't send your nudes. 
Please don't. It's a bad idea. Your nudes will either be spread around to the whole schools and you now have rumors about you spreading. Or your ex might have your nudes hanging about in his photos which is quite dangerous.

Friendship Aren't Forever 
When you start high school, you will probably have over a billion friends. Let me tell you this, by the end of your senior year you will probably only have 3 that you will still talk to. It's life and not every friendship last forever. Just live in the moment with your friends that my honest advice.


Dating a senior isn't the best idea.
If you made it work, great for you. No offense to senior, but they're usually either fooling around with you or in it for sex. Freshman after all the naivest of the bunch if I have to say.  I know someone who dated a senior and the boyfriend got called pedophile. In the end her heart was tragically broken...

Be active in clubs
I wouldn't say I did this at all, but I did join an academic contest if that counts. If your school does not tell you all the clubs that it features like mine did ask. Clubs is not only great for college, you do meet a lot of great people.

Get close to teachers
When you get close to teachers, things can go your way. If you're ditching one subject cause you don't feel well, head over to Mr.Glob class and claim to help out. It really does depend on what type of teacher this is cause it doesn't always work. In my case, I was able to change my schedule even further and get Ap Psychology which wasn't accessible for people in my age because I actually knew the person in charge of that.

Take advantage of your free period
I'm not sure if all high schools have these free period classes that students get. I think people basically call them study hall? If your high school happens to have those classes, don't waste time playing game on the computer. It not the best use of your time. If you know you have an exam coming up, or didn't do your homework you should focus on those first.

Be yourself
You really shouldn't change your personality for someone else. It doesn't matter if they happen to be your boyfriend or friend. There really shouldn't be any circumstance where you need to change the way you act. Just be yourself and original. The more you force yourself to go with the other person flow the more miserable you'll be.

Upperclassman Won't Harm You 
When I went to high school, the people who were consider seniors were my brother age. Honestly, I had people his age who were jokingly scared of me. That was an interesting thing to say. The upperclassman won't hurt you unless you annoy them. I see a lot of freshman who I  wasn't acquainted with go run around screaming for NO REASON AT ALL! It's annoying and someone might curse you out to stop.

Some of these were way depressing to type out. Freshman year can either be a positive or negative experience depending on your attitude. Remain positive and try your best.   You got 4 years of high-school. They will go by in a breeze..

I'm laying down on my lopsided bed with my dog snuggling next to me eagerly awaiting her 5th birthday.

                                                                     "I need cash fast."


No matter what we need money for, it's a no-brainer that we all want it. Sometimes as a kid we are restricted on getting access to it. We aren't allowed to get a job due to our young age or simply get rejected in the vast job market.

Here a solution 8 different ways to make money as a teenager without having to get a job.



                                                                         ₲₳₥ɆⱤ ₳₱₱ⱤØ₳₵Ⱨ
                                                              For passionate gamers who play more than 3 hours of games each. 





⌲Sell your skills-
    Talented at a game? There is someone who will probably ask you to take care of their account or             get to a certain rank for a fee. This will work best if you have a reputation of being a good                player. This comes with a risk for both side being banned, so be warned.

⌲ Downloading Rewards App-
    This is time-consuming, but when you have nothing else to do just pull out the app and complete           the offers.

     data-ad-slot="7991940550">


⌲ Selling your account/items-
     In certain games, people will request a rare item in exchange for a gift card with an xxx amount of        money. It would be rare for people to offer you actually money if you did this in a kid oriented          game such as woozworld.



                                                                          ₳Ɽ₮ł₴₮ ₳₱₱Ø₳₵Ⱨ
                                                                                        For passionate and talented artists


⌲ Selling your artwork     There are different forms on how you can sell your art. It could be on a canvas, sticker or even a           mug. You can even do a custom artwork for a client and charge extra. You should be aware of the cost of all the materials before starting it.

⌲ Sell your DIYS
   DIYS such as polymer clay charms, bracelets and necklaces could make you a pretty penny. Those      are just a few DIYS you could do and sell.  I wold recommend using the website Etsy if you were to do any of the 2 approaches.




                                                                          ₲Ɇ₦ɆⱤ₳Ⱡ ₳₱₱ⱤØ₳₵Ⱨ




⌲ Sell your old clothes
   The ones you are going to either throw away or donate keep them if they are in perfect/decent condition. You can sell them on numerous apps and website like depop


⌲ Middle Man
   Buy trendy items you think people would want or like when they are on sale or discounted. Then sell this at the original price or a few dollars below the original price. Try doing this on eBay.

⌲ Candy
   Buy a box of candy from Costco or your city version of Costco. Sell each candy individually for a          higher price usually a dollar. Don't overcharge for a candy or people will complain meaning don't        sell an Airheads for twice the original amount.  It's best to go for popular candy brand and do this          inside a school or around parks where kids are mostly generally around.


There are obviously more ways to make money as a teenager such a tutoring and babysiting. I wanted to give a different approach in those jobs. Hope this list helped you!
