Confidence

  Word of the Year: Confidence (Because My Brain Needs to Chill) Alright, let’s talk about something I severely lack: confidence . No, seriously—I overthink EVERYTHING. Like, I’ll write an answer, stare at it for 10 minutes, rewrite it, doubt my entire existence, erase it, rewrite it again, and THEN still wonder if I’m completely wrong. And don’t even get me started on class participation—by the time I finally convince myself to raise my hand, the conversation has moved on, the semester is practically over, and I’m just sitting there like, “Welp, guess I’ll just suffer in silence.” So, yeah. Confidence is my Word of the Year because I need to start believing in myself, trusting my knowledge, and realizing that I actually do know what I’m talking about. Because let’s be honest—if I didn’t, would I really be putting in all this effort? NO. I study, I prepare, I do the work, and yet my brain still acts like I just rolled out of bed and guessed my way through life. Like, hello?? Give...

Blog Post 6 Bingo Card Update

 To start off I think that this year was honestly one of the best years that I have had even though it did have some ups and downs. But by far definitely a year that I will remember and one that I was able to get a lot accomplished and a lot out of.  Able to Get Done: Read at least three books each month: this was too easy I read around two books every single week I was doing double time. Run at least four miles each week: Also i underestimated myself here I was and am currently still doing around eight to nine miles every single weekend on saturdays around rock creek. Have a stable relationship with friends: Yes and I was also able to meet so many new people and make so many new friends while maintaining the relationships that I currently have with the people that mean the most to me. Watch at least one sports game live: I went to one of the University of Miami games with my uncle along with Miami Dolphins which we ended up winning. No eating out for a week straight: This is ...

Winter Spirit Week

 Okay so long story short this week was Winter Spirit Week. But also in a way it was quite literally the work week of my life. Monday 12/9:  Winter Gear Okay so for Monday I simply just did not go to school. I can justify this action by saying that I was sick. Because I was sick I was quite literally fighting for my life. I am the one person with the worst luck on the entire planet. And each time it is winter time I get extremely sick due to the weather change and that was quite evident on Monday and my mother quite literally told me, "stay ur a** at home" and so that  is what I did because I am a good daughter and I listen to my mother because according to that one song in Tangles (aka the best Disney princess movie ever) "Mother Knows Best." Even though that can be heavily questioned due to the fact that I think I am more right then she is sometimes. I will not be saying that to her face though because she scares the crap out of me when she gets angry, and I can n...

What are you Grateful for?

 Tis the day of Thanksgiving. Although I might get a lot of hate for this even though I already do from a lot of my friends and my family, but I am a Thanksgiving hater from the bottom of my heart. There has just always been something about Thanksgiving that I have always disliked with a burning passion within me ever since I was a little kid. When I bring this up to some of my friends they assume its something do with with culture and tradition but no. My family is the most western thing you will ever meet being in America for almost four generations. Then they assume it's an Arab thing but it is not. My family foes all out for every single holiday. We started Thanksgiving preparations last week with the food and everything and decorating the house. Why am I writing this now? It's because I realized that even though I have a passion of disliking this holiday it carries a lot of significance and holdys a very deep meaning of being grateful for the people around you and the thin...

What Kind of Leader Are You?

  The type of leader that I was given after taking the quiz was, "results-driven leader." In the blurb after taking the quiz and getting the results, it says that I am all about getting the job done. this is something that I agree with because I am someone that likes to get things done in an orderly manner. I do not really like to sit behind and wait to get things done. i prefer to get them done as soon as I can. It also says that i am focused, confident, and keep the end goal in mind. I would say that I am a focused person, but I do tend to honestly get distracted easily. Once I do notice that I am distracted I do act firm with myself so that I can get back on track to what I was doing in order to get it accomplished. As for confidence I do think that I have a lot of confidence but it often does not show since I do tend to undermine myself sometimes. But if I really do believe in something I will be as confident as I can till the very end. And I am someone that keeps the end...

Hoco Week 2024

 Homecoming Week is one of the most anticipated weeks within the school year. It is filled with a plethora of joyous events that brings everyone together. This years homecoming week was no exception. Tuesday October 15, 2024: Battle of the Colors (Purple) To kick off homecoming week, the first dress up day and probably the most basic was color wars. The color for Juniors is purple. Finding purple clothing was actually really hard. As someone who does not really like wearing flashy colors this one was a bit challenging for me. I personally prefer to wear very neutral colors such as brown, black, white, gray. Nothing that really stands out. And purple is just that, a very vibrant color that sticks out. As someone who is a avid hater of purple this dress up day pained me the most. But nonetheless, I showed out. I managed to find a purple shirt and just wore a pair of leggings because the purple was already too much for me. But at the same time I did not want to be too basic since this...

Who am I!

     Hi my name is Elina Baig and I am a Junior for this school year! This will be my second year as a class officer. Last year was my first year as the Corresponding Secretary. But this year I am the Recording Secretary.      This year I was really excited for a school year, but then slowly as the first day of school came to a pass I realized how much I am in fact not looking forward to this school year for only certain reasons.     Once the first week had passed I realized how much this school year was going to drain me. In the first week I already had fifteen assignments to do. It's been only six days and let me tell you I am already drained.     Though, this year might be on kind of the opposite end of excitement I will go to say that overall I am somewhat really excited for this school year. I am really excited for all the projects and things that we will be doing in SGA along with class projects. One thing that I am really looking ...
