Julia Explains "Shipping" to her Parents

So here we all are, sitting at the dinner table, having normal dinner conversations.  Which for my family means we were talking about the day in the future that my younger sister Erin will be asked to prom by my friend Ashley's brother Cole.  It is going to happen.  They are our OTP.  So I was like, "Ashley and I TOTALLY ship them."  And the table is quiet.

How to Bring Your Fandom on Vacation

Hey guys.  So I've been back in the US of A for about a week now, and I'm very avidly wishing I wasn't.  Don't get me wrong, I love my friends and my home, but foreign country = no responsibilities, and I'm not really in the mood for responsibilities right now.  I miss the summers where you could go for a week without getting out of your pajamas.  RESPONSIBILITIES ARE NOT FUN.  AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS.

But anyway.  Back to the trip.  We were in Norway, the country of Frozen and What Does the Fox Say, for a week and a half, and needless to say it was the most beautiful country I've ever been in.

But, as every fangirl knows, fandoms do not present themselves only when it is convenient.  Where you go, the feels follow.  You will be thinking about Hazel and Gus and Katniss and Peeta and Gale and Tris and Four and Gwendolyn and Gideon and everyone else. So, without further ado, here is:

You Know You're a High School Student When

Hi everyone!  It is fourth quarter, for those of you who didn't know.  Ha, who am I kidding, I'm pretty sure it's impossible not to know it's fourth quarter.  You know all those tests and projects and essays and stuff you've been doing all year?  Well, we thought that might let up a little bit fourth quarter.  Instead, it's gotten worse.

But if there's one thing we've gotten out of it, I feel like we freshmen have kind of bonded in some sort of let's all face the suckiness together party.  Or maybe I'm crazy.  But anyway, here's a list of things that, as a high school student, you have probably experienced.


YOU KNOW YOU'RE A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT WHEN...

In Case You Wanted to Know (Which You Probably Didn't)

Hi everyone.  So.  I've decided that this post should be about me, in case you wanted to know more about the psycho behind the blog that you are reading.  The thing is, you probably don't want to know. Consider yourself warned.

Brain Things in the Head

Words words words words words words words

Phew.  Got the opening sentence over with!

The SATs and ACTs are pretty much the funnest tests ever.  JUST KIDDING.  (And yes, I know 'funnest' isn't a word, but I'm a rebel and I do what I want.)  Anyway, I've taken each test twice, and I have friends who have taken them too.  Yep, we nerds party hard.

Nerd Problems

Bonjour!  In case you don't know me, or are just extremely oblivious, you know that I am a nerd and a bookworm.  Well, being a nerd presents completely different problems than being, uh, a normal person.  The things nerds enjoy can be strange, the problems they face are unique, and I have to say, I've found myself in positions of complete nerdiness multiple times.

Without further ado....  10 problems of being a nerd!
