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 quite attainable for my family since they are all in the healthcare field and like to take precautions and eat good at all times.

Not crashing new car in the mailbox like the other one: Thankfully this did not happen.

Pick my DECA competition event: Food marketing or something like that I decided to do testing because I was already so busy and knew that I would not have time to do and write a 20 page paper this year.

Do at least 2 hours of SAT/ACT prep a week: Having the family I have they take this stuff really seriously so they were able to guide me and motivate me to do what I need to do for my future. 

Buy my 3000$ worth of shopping carts: #SavingQueenNot my parents got annoyed and just gave me their credit cards and told me to get what I want and needed since they did not care and I just bought everything and then some for my own personal satisfaction. 

Stay caught up with al my classwork: I usually hate procrastinating and like having me time so it is an easy motivational tactic to get me to do everything that I need.

Pass all my midterms: Having an Arab mom and dad is good motivation. 

Get all my little cousins their birthday wishlists: I wanted to see them happy since they mean the most to me and I am so happy and grateful of the fact knowing that I have a family where I am in the position to be able to provide these things to the people that mean the most to me. 

See at least one concert before the year ends: I went to Childish Gambino with one of my best friends and unlces and then we also ended up going to David Kushner with my best friend again back to back a few weeks apart from each other. 

Make it to 700 instagram followers: I to be fair do not even know that I did but I also do know that I am quite easy to find on insta.

Hang out with friends 2-3 times a month: We would always make sure to plan things out thoroughly and ask our parents beforehand to make sure that they were okay with it since we need social interactions.

Get all A's and B's 1 and 2 quarter: My mom would have disowned me that was my motivation.


Not Able to Get Done:

Sign up for one of the SAT dates: I felt unprepared and decided against it for now.

Finish my DECA Manual: this year was really busy so I decided against doing a manual.

Finishing the Throne of Glass book series: The last book that I need it has been out of stock for a really long time everywhere so I have not had the time or opportunity to find it and buy it.

Finish my online class: My teacher disappeared for a while and I was not able to finish due to her absence because I needed her to open some things up  but that was not possible with her gone for almost a month. 

No caffeine for a week straight: I drink at least one or two coffees a day I am obsessed I crave it and I cano not go long periods of time without my caffeine intake.

Stay locked in with the he who must not be named: Yeah no bye, too bad for my mental state of mind decided to end things with him after seven months but it is okay because I have someone way better than him now. 

No Celcius for two days in a row: I can not stay away it is just too good.

get my hair to my desired length: My mom decided to give me a haircut right as I was hitting my milestone goal.

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 ...

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...

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...
