T-Swift

Alright, so all of you have probably heard of Taylor Swift if you don't live your life under a rock. She recently came out with her new album called Red. And let me just say, i think that it's one of her better albums she has ever made. While most of her songs can be repetitive, and it may only seem like all she talks about is guys, you can relate to all of them. It's like she's a mind reader. Well not really, she just relates well with girls, and i mean why shouldn't she? After all, she is a girl. The one thing i can't stand is when people say that she isn't talented. Okay so some of her songs are probably auto-tuned and what not, but honestly, name one singer whose songs aren't. That's right, there is none!
If you haven't listened to it yet, you should probably go look at it at this very second. My favorite two songs from the album are 22 and Stay Stay Stay. They are the most upbeat songs on this album. Most of the new songs are slower and have more meaning than her other ones which i like a lot. However, i find all of her songs extremely catchy and if i listen to them at some point in the morning, then they're usually stuck in my head all day! If you really want to listen to catchy song, i would recommend "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." I promise you, it'll be stuck in your head for weeks! Heck i just listened to it last week, and guess what! It's still stuck in my head after replaying her new album songs over and over again! So obviously, if you don't like Taylor Swift then you probably don't want to listen to this song.... But then again, if you listen to it, you might find a little tiny place in your heart for her.
Ohhh yeah, and another song that i forgot to mention is Red. This song describes the different emotions she feels as specific colors which is pretty interesting! I would recommend this album to pretty much any one because i still think if you're not a fan, you would probably still like the album!

Substitute teachers

Currently im sitting in the library with my friends becca and kaitlyn. We were casually talking about things that i could blog about when all of a sudden this substitute teacher comes up to us and says, "ladies, voices down!" Our first instinct was just to say okay and let it go. We continued talking and he comes over once again and tells us to be quiet. This happened FOUR times! What the heck has this world come to? I can't even talk int the library. Okay first of all, we're not even in his class, and second of all, we're not even talking loudly!!!! And plus the class that he's watching is talking too, and loudly might i add, so how in the world can he yell at us when the rest of his class is being loud and obnoxious and we're not even in his class! Clearly he's singling us out because he doesnt want us sitting with his class. Well guess what, there aren't any other computers open so i guess he's stuck with us for another half an hour. It's ridiculous. His class is playing a piano on the computers and its BOOMING throughout the library, ohhh no sorry that's not annoying at all let me just sit here and try to do my work while listening to the sounds of random keys being smashed releasing piano sounds. My goodness, it's people like him that really make me mad. I mean he's really grinding my gears right now. If you have a teacher like that, i suggest you just ignore them. Don't be rude though, be polite and just deal with it. They always say they're going to write you up and get you a detention, but let's be honest here, no teacher wants to do that and look like the bad guy and get hated forever. Especially the older ones. They always feel bad and usually have a soft spot unless they had like a rough childhood or something that turned them into a mean, grouchy old person, but usually that's not the case in these types of situations.
I sincerely hope that you guys never run into this problem because it can be very frustrating, believe me. I mean to try and help your friend out by giving them ideas only to get yelled at for being too loud by someone who isn't even your teacher, i mean come on now. And if you're a substitute teacher reading this, make sure you worry about your class only because that's all you're in charge of. Oh yeah, and remember to be quite in the library!

Slow Drivers

There's nothing i hate more than when im driving a tad over the speed limit and then have to come to a sudden halt when someone rudely pulls out in front of you. So, okay, whatever they pulled out in front of you, maybe they're in some huge hurry or something. ohhhhhh no. You've got it all wrong. They're actually driving 20 mph below the speed limit. I mean come on now! If you want to go slow at least make sure there's isnt anyone behind you so you dont hold them up in case those people are actually in a hurry to get somewhere. I mean this really just grinds my gears. I didnt realize how much this annoyed me until it happened to me this morning. And as if once isn't bad enough, it happened to me twice.
My brother goes to Kiski Prep which is a private school and it's about 20 minutes away. Since it's such a huge hassle for my brother to do his laundry, my mom insists on driving up there every week to get his dirty clothes. I know, it makes so much sense. Anyways, she made me drive up there this morning to drop his clothes off, and man was i in for a treat. I'm driving down some road off of sardis and I'm going a pretty reasonable speed for a back road until some bafoon pulls out of their driveway without looking and pulls out right in front of me!! I was outraged beyond belief. Literally, the speed limit is 35 on that road, i swear i was going a mere 20 mph. It took me almost 45 minutes to get there when is only supposed to take 20! I mean was it that hard to just look both ways before you pull out of your driveway? That guy is lucky i didnt hit him.
Well like i said, this little incident happened to me twice. Once on the way up, and then once on the way back. On the way back, i had to stop at Giant Eagle real quick to pick up a few things. After i finished, i continued making my way home and then BOOM, another bafoon is in front of me going 2 mph. Now, i wasn't in a huge hurry to get home, but i was sick of being in the car all day. I wanted to pass the guy sooooo bad.
So let me just tell you a little something. If you're pulling out of a street and someone is coming, even if you can make the turn without getting hit, be polite and let them go before you because chances are they're in a bigger hurry than you are. And if you dont drive at atleast the speed limit, you might want to speed up just a little bit so you dont make the drivers behind you angry, cause some road rage, and then get into a car accident.

Snuggies

Well this blog here is going to be all about snuggies. Snuggies are the greatest things ever invented. For the longest time ever i would sit on the couch cuddled up in a blanket because i was freezing. However, when you're cuddled up in a blanket you kind of get a little hungry. My absolute biggest pet peeve used to be when i was under a blanket and then would have to stick my hands and arms out of the blanket to eat my goldfish or something because i just needed to eat. And for that moment of time when your hands were out of the blanket, you were absolutely freezing. Now, my biggest pet peeve here was shortly eliminated when the great snuggie was invented. For those of you who may live under a rock and not know what a snuggie is, a snuggie is basically a blanket with arm holes. That is all. It doesnt seem like much nut trust me, this thing is life changing. The snuggie has eliminated my biggest pet peeve of all. I am very thankful that i can now say i can watch TV and eat without having my arms and hands constantly being cold.
Snuggies are those one size fits all kind of deals, they are giant! So if you like extra big blankets, then these are definitely the things for you. They are long enough to go completely past my feet! Then again, I'm kind of short so it doesnt really take alot for anything to go past my toes. Also, the snuggie is extra soft! It really feels like you're cuddling agains a cloud. They are also very affordable with a cost of a whopping $9.99! Whatta bargain! Not to mention, this will be great for halloween since it's right around the corner! instead of using a regular old bed sheet to transform yourself into a ghost, why not just use a snuggie! it's WAY warmer, and you'll look very stylish.
Oh my goodness how could i forget! There is also a snuggie out there that can fit two people inside! The only difference is that it has three arm holes instead of two. This is great if you have separation anxiety with your boyfriend/girlfriend and hate using two snuggies for the both of you. Well, congratulations, you two can now share the same snuggie.
And for those dog lovers out there. Dont think i forgot about you guys. There are actually snuggies out there that are made especially for dogs. All sorts of dogs can use them. Small dogs, big dogs, fat dogs, skinny dogs, brown dogs, gray dogs, pink dogs, i mean the possibilities are just endless with these things!
I know you guys are probably wondering what patterns you can get them in. Well let me tell you, they have about every color you could ever imagine and they also come in a lot of patterns as well! This is definitely a buy that i would recommend. You definitely wont regret it. The snuggie is easily the best purchase that i have ever made. I will post the link below so that you guys can purchase your very own snuggie and wear it everywhere you go. I mean, they even have steelers ones that you can wear to the steeler game! who wouldn't want to do that?
Well i hope all of you enjoy your snuggies. Stay warm and cozy!

The world of Snapchatting

Okay so the majority of the kids in my school i would say have iphones. It's CRAZY! Literally i would say about 3 out of every five people have an iphone, or maybe even more than that. Anyways, there are constantly apps that are popular and that you have to get. A few years ago it was doodle jump, next was run, then fruit ninja, temple run, and now the biggest one of them all is snapchat. Now let me just tell you that this app is probably the best app ever created. You can send pictures back and forth to your friends in just a matter of seconds. Want to hear the best part? The pictures are only visible to the person you send them to for a matter of seconds and then disappear forever and you can never look at them ever again. Some people thought they would try and beat the system by taking a screen shot, but turns out, joke's on us because snapchat made it so that all screen shots are denied. Which in my opinion, is a good thing because i send some pretty embarrassing pictures of myself.
Anyways, this app is so popular at my school. Constantly there are people snapchatting everyone throughout the day. Which is great because school would be boring without it. You see kids in the hallways making faces at their phones and you just automatically know that they are snapchatting so you just dont think anything of it.
I can honestly say that i dont think i've ever seen an app more popular than this one. Well actually, angry birds was a pretty good one though i have to say. However, it involved some thought where as for snapchat, you can be dumb as a doornail and still be able to use it. It's just so entertaining! The best part is knowing that no matter how embarrassing the picture you send is, they can only see it for a few seconds anyways so who even cares! It's genius! i would personally like to meet the inventors of this wondrous app and just give them a little pat on the back for creating an even better past time for kids during school. I mean it's just absolutely great!
Here are some real life scenarios of when it's appropriate to take a snapchat.

• If you are bored in class
• If you are bored at home
• in the car
• brushing your teeth 
• eating lunch
• getting dressed
• watching tv
• laying in bed
• doing homework

At basically any time of the day it's perfectly normal to snapchat an incredibly embarasing picture of yourself. So here's my advice for all of you people out there with iphones. GET SNAPCHAT. it will complete your life and give you pure happiness. If you are looking for friends to snapchat, i am always snapchatting so you can "snap" me anytime at kaylagrieco

Get out of the way

Okay well this post is more of a rant more than anything. Basically it's just about the one thing that goes on in my school that i absolutely can not stand at all. I'll start off by telling you that i go to franklin regional high school. I have many complaints about this place that i could just go off on, but the one thing that bothers me the most is when people rush through the hallways and trample over people like their life depends on getting to class on time. I mean okay, it's one thing if you are in a hurry and are casually brushing past people, but it's not okay if you are physically pushing people out of your way to get past them. i mean it's completely ridiculous and i cant stand it. Im fairly little so i get knocked around alot. For example, today i was casually strolling along to my fourth period study hall when all of a sudden this giant kid comes sprinting through the hallway taking out everyone and everything in his class just so he can get to his class. CALM YOURSELF. My goodness, this just really makes me mad for some reason. Honestly, i could just rage.
This hasn't started this year. ohhhhhh no. this started as early as my freshman year which was almost four years ago. This one skinny kid would always run on the wrong side of the hallway (you know, the side where people are walking the opposite direction as you) knocking out anyone in his way just to get to his girlfriend. Really? Im sure you can go a period without seeing or touching each other. UGH. it just makes me soooo mad.
Seriously, have some respect for other people that are walking through the hallway, and try not to implant them into lockers or the walls. People are just insane. This happens to me multiple time throughout the day, and it's not by the same person each time, which means there are many people that have this problem! So for all of you people in a rush out there, here's a little tiny bit of useful advice, just slow down and try not to run into other people. Use some manners and respect other people's personal space in the hallways.
Im not sure why all of that just came to mind, but hey you know what, it's okay. it's just something that has bothered me for a while and i thought i'd just throw it out there. I people in other schools can relate to the pain im feeling towards this right now. You know how people say its sometimes good to go against the crowd? Yeah well, in this situation, it's better to go with the flow of the crowd and not on the opposite side of the hallway.

Upest Niece

Okay well we all have relatives that we consider to be our favorites right? Well i certainly do! My Aunt Meghan has always been my favorite relative by far. She is the funniest and silliest person in the whole entire world, and she's just so much fun to be around. She married my Uncle Patrick a few years ago, and let me just say, they are the cutest people together ever! My aunt waited so long to get married, and clearly, she made the right choice, because they're just absolutely perfect for each other.My aunt is a closet designer. I know what youre thinking.. "who the heck cares if she designs closets, that sounds dumb." Well guess what? She was the one that was chosen to design all of the closets for HGTV's dream house last year, so yeah that was a pretty big thing for her.  My Uncle Patrick is really into big designer stores and clothing line. He's the guy who designs where all of the clothes go out on the floor for Banana Republic. He's pretty big news for those "banana people" which is why they are constantly moving. He keeps getting promoted and each time he gets promoted, they move farther and farther away! They currently live all the way in Atlanta and we only get to see them about twice a year. So each time we see them is special, and we make sure it's something we'll remember. They always come to us though, not once have i ever been to their house before. This kind of makes me a little sad because i've seen pictures of it and it just looks so pretty there. They live next to a farmer and he gives them fresh vegetables and eggs and everything and the town seems just so serene and quaint. Their house looks spotless and everything is in perfect shape, which makes complete sense considering the fact that they dont have any kids right now.
Anyways, like i said, they live really far away and they're constantly moving. Well, my mom told me yesterday that my uncle had gotten transferred all the way across the country to California. I heard this and i wanted to cry. Now I'm just scared that I'll never see them anymore which absolutely sucks when it's your most favorite aunt and uncle! Not to mention that my favorite cousins live all the way in Oklahoma! Why cant there be a law that keeps families moving away from each other? It's just not fair at all.
