What is the most interesting thing in the news right now?

Fashion week! It might be over already in America, but that doesn't mean it's not going on in Milan! Milan fashion week is still going strong and this is where some of the most epic trends are born. Fashion week in the pinnacle of the whole industry basically, and it's where people are free to bust out their best outfits! Personally, my favorite fashion icon is Olivia Palermo, she is so stylish and trendy! It's unbelievable! I want her outfits so badly! Yeah, Happy Fashion Week everyone.

What does "Work hard. Be nice." mean to me?

I think the meaning is pretty literal. It just tells me to work hard and be nice to people. Both of those things are the top two qualities that high school students lack the most. It's pretty good advice, but it kind of sounds funny when you put them together and use it as a motto. I think we should try something a bit more catchy... I can't really give an example right now so just pretend I said something cool. Think about that!

My Squirrel Experience!

This is probably the weirdest thing I'm going to share... Well, maybe not. I've been having these squirrel sightings (they're pretty rare, I know!) in the mornings and I'm pretty sure they have some sort of effect on fate! My first "squirrel experience" was about four days ago. I saw two cute little squirrels chasing each other up a tree and then scurrying up into the leaves. And then I was all, "AWWW!" That day soon turned out to be my first really good day for that week. My second "squirrel experience" was two days after that first one. This time, I saw an extra cute little squirrel cross the street and then run up a tree. Again, I said, "Aww," in an overly-dramatic fashion. That day turned out better than the first! That was my last squirrel experience so far. Thus, the question remains... Can squirrels really control the future? Or is it just my strange thinking processes that make me think that squirrels can control the future? That is the question. SQUIRREL!

De-stressify!

The best thing I do to relieve my stress includes yoga and a cup of hot chamomile tea. Yoga is super-relaxing, and the best way to top that off is with tea, nature, and zen music. I love writing too, and sometimes writing poems or writing in my diary is the best way to take a load off a hard day's work being Bianca.

XOXO, Bianca

I would like to thank...

The academy! Just kidding. Right now, I would actually like to thank all of my friends who decided to stick with me this year. I have a few friends that have really changed - and it's only been like three months! I mean how much can a person change in that little amount of time? Okay, I admit that it's enough time for life-changing things to happen, but still! They really have no reason to be acting the way they are to me right now, and they really were my good friends who I thought I would be with forever! A couple of those people and I even planned our weddings together! I mean, I thought it would be impossible to break up a friendship like that, but apparently I was wrong. I know this is exactly the kind of stuff that happens in high school, but I just can't accept the fact that I'm losing some realtionships that were really important to me. The many relationships that I have managed to keep are proving to be more important to me than ever. Thankfully, I'm making more new relationships than I am losing old ones, even though sometimes it feels like it's the other way around.

XOXO, Bianca
