Today, while walking from school I passed a sign that had gas prices listed and behind that sign there is a cop on a motorcycle hiding behind it. I have walked through these streets for many years and never have a seen a cop standing there. He was looking at the traffic waiting for the next victim. I feel like they are the tigers and we are the pray and a little mistake they see they will flash their lights at us. So as I was walking, the cop suddenly drove out and flashed the lights at one car. Since this was a few feet away from where I was I could clearly see why the cop was going after this car. The driver was on the phone and quickly ended her conversation when she saw the cop. Now here in California, it is now against the law to talk/text while driving. I can consider myself a decent texter since I can text at a pretty good speed, but there are others that can text faster than me. I have seen a few around who are texting all the time and it looks like they have their phones glued to their hands. I started driving about a year ago and I have to be a cautious driver since I know my parents will hit the ceiling if I get a ticket. I am not the only out there that have started to drive there are other too. We can all drive now since we hit the wonderful age of 16 and have been able to get a permit. So this means no more rides from older friends, having to wait for mom and dad to come home to give us a ride, and best of all more freedom. Even though driving comes with a lot of privileges there are a lot of responsibilities too. Lately, there has been an increase in accidents involving people texting and driving and reports have show that most are teens. This is more than a simple ticket but texting/talking can lead to major accidents and even death. A single second can change a persons life forever. So if you want to text do it just not while driving and if you are going to talk buy a Bluetooth they may look funny, but it just may save your life.
Today is December 1. This means that there are 24 more days till Christmas and for many high school seniors a couple more months of anticipation as they wait to find out if they have been accepted into their dream school. Yesterday, November 30, was the last day to submit in all UC and CSU applications, but as we all know there is always some that wait till the last minute to submit their applications. With that said, best of luck to all the seniors and hope you all get accepted to wherever you wanted to go. The hardest part is now behind us and it is time to focus on our school work, prepare to live on campus (for those who plan to live on campus), fill out the EOP application, and apply for more scholarships. The more money one can get the better. There are lots of scholarships out there, I recommend filling out as many as possible. Remember, keep on doing well in school since there have been cases where a student lets their grades slip and their acceptance to their UC or CSU of choice is revoked. Don't let this happen to you but also do not forget to enjoy your senior year.
Its almost Christmas and the time for shopping has come. Stores are all promoting sales and bargain prices to attract more customers. Last Friday was the famous Black Friday and people go in for the best prices. Some people are lining up, making camp, and waiting for the stores to open at the middle of the night. I saw the lines on TV and was surprised by the number of people who actually go. Here are some pictures i found of people waiting for this one day event:
In my opinion, its crazy. I am a self-declared sleepy head, I love to sleep and no matter how good the deals are I doubt you will ever see me waiting in these massive lines. What I would recommend many of you to do is to shop online, I find it to be more convenient. I don't have to worry about lines, parking, and best all I don't need to sacrifice my slumber. Get a computer and go to the stores' website and look for the item and wholah! you can buy anything right then and there. Best of all, since some websites are competing with stores they offer FREE shipping. One more thing before I wrap this up, the best thing about the web is that one can Google an item and compare prices. This is what I am doing to avoid lines and still be able to buy my loved one and I our Christmas gifts ;)
For those who are close to graduating and is wondering how they will pay for college? It is time to think about scholarships. There are many scholarships out there but so few are presented to us, but don't be discouraged, here are some websites that can help you find scholarships, they are reliable and easy to use. All you need to do is fill out the form with your information and it will hook you up with the scholarships that you qualify for.
