School sucks

The first day of my Freshman year was decent, all my friends were here, we had a good time. Everything was great, there was no drama, we left all of that in middle school. But we're never okay. I'm never okay. I feel like I wanna cry. Just nonstop. And I don't know why. I won't tell anyone because I don't like crying without a good reason. Crying is a sign of weakness, I hate it when people see me cry. I have to pretend everything is okay because I don't want to worry my friends. There's this one girl, she cries over everything, she always brings her drama to us. Over stupid things. She's annoying too. Then there's this guy. He likes me, but we haven't even known each other for more than a month. I'm not interested. I think it's retarded how fast people can fall in 'love', or overreact over something so small. If you get on my wrong side when we first meet you'll figure out I'm a bitch real fast. I won't bother acting nice to someone that I don't like. What's the point anyway? My grades are really bad, worse they've ever been. My mom asks me why I couldn't be like my sister. Well sorry that I've lost all the motivation I had left. Sorry that I couldn't get good grades like her. My mom tells me that she expects me to go to college. Why? My brother decided that he didn't want to go an she let him

Family Abuse

(Link for the article I referenced)

https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/06/us/hart-family-crash-inquest-searches/index.html

Honestly, this made me sick when I read it. The fact that these two parents allegedly killed their six children, which they adopted, off of a cliff. I think that you shouldn't adopt a kid, let alone six of them, if your not ready. These to parents definitely were not ready. I think people should go through a very thorough background check, and should be checked for any previous drug or alcohol abuse. Every child that's put up for adoption deserve the best chance at life, and that starts with the person that's going to adopt them. And if anyone even has a hunch on if a child is being abused they should report it immediately. It's always better to be safe than sorry, because you might have a child's life on your hands.

Executive Order 13769 should not exist

"Legal and political challenges have created obstacles for the administration’s efforts to punish “sanctuary cities,” end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), and proceed with the zero-tolerance policies at the border that have resulted in family separation.' Executive Order 13769 (a.k.a. Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States) has separated families, has taken visa cards away, and reduced the number of refugees that could be let in the U.S.

"On June 26, less than a week after the President’s order, a federal district court judge in San Diego ordered the administration to stop separating families and reunify each family. It gave the administration 14 days to reunite children under age 5 with their parents, and 30 days for those 5 and older. Before the judge’s ruling, it appeared that the administration was only reunifying families if the parents had agreed to be deported. As of June 23, just 522 children had been reunited with their parents." (https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/upholding-travel-ban-supreme-court-endorses-presidential-authority-while-leaving-door-open). Kids under the age of five have been separated from their parents, and the only reason why they reunifying families was because the parents agreed to be deported. Using a parent's child as leverage to deport them is just wrong.

"More than 100 travelers were held. They were held for hours without family or legal assistance. Up to 60,000 visas were taken away. Protests against the order took place in airports and cities.

The order was criticized by Democratic and Republic members of U.S. Congress, Catholic bishops, business leaders and universities." (https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_13769). A visa card is a permit given by a country to go to that country. If a person was already permitted to go to the U.S., then why are they taking away visa cards and not allowing that person to enter the U.S.?

"The order said that no more than 50,000 refugees could be be let into the United States. It stopped the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) for 120 days (about four months). After that 120 days, the program would start again for individual countries. The order also stopped the entry of refugees from Syria."

(https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_13769). I honestly don't think they should be reducing the refugees that are being let in the U.S. I get that they're trying to protect the U.S. from terrorists but they shouldn't decline refugees that really need help.

In conclusion, there shouldn't be an Executive Order 13769 because its hurting the refugee families. Children should not be separated from their families, and visa cards shouldn't taken away from people who've already had it. I know there are a lot of people who don't agree with President Trump's decision. There's a petition online to impeach him. I think we should do everything in our power to get rid of the order. So that families can come to a safe place.

Atychiphobia (Fear of Failure)

  

 My mom wants me to be perfect all the time. If I fail there's always a consequence, and you don't want to imagine it. I've gotten straight A's all throughout high school and graduated with honors, I was the top of my class. I wasn't allowed to have friends because they were just a "distraction." I've always wanted to be an artist, when I told my mom that she kicked me out. She told me to be 'realistic' and to get a job. I've been on my own for a couple of months. I've worked multiple jobs just so I can pay my rent. Everything was going decent until she showed up again.

I was getting ready for an interview until it felt like I was paralyzed. What if I don't get the job? What will I do? Before I knew it I was picking up my phone and dialing the interview number
"Hello?"
"Hi! It's Kim, I was supposed to come in for the interview today?" I said.
"Oh! How can I help you?"
"I'm so sorry but I have to postpone the interview again," I said.
"No problem Kim."
"Thanks! I'll call you later to reschedule," I said.
"Great! Talk to you soon!"
After I hung up I sighed
"Why do I keep doing this to myself?" I said as I covered my face. Then there was a soft knock at the door. I wasn't expecting any company today, who could it possibly be? I opened the door and I really wish I didn't.
"Mom!?" I said, shocked, "How did you find me? I didn't tell you or dad where I moved!"
"I have my ways sweetheart," she said as she looked around my apartment.
"Don't call me that," I said, why was she here?
"Remember when you were first old enough to get a bank account? Of course I couldn't let you have your own so we had a joint account," she said, smirking.
"Yeah I remember, but why are you mentioning that right now?" I said clenching my fists.
"Oh, you haven't realized it yet?" she said as she turned to me. I shook my head no and she laughed, "Why honey, I emptied your account."
"What!? I worked my ass off for that money! It was enough to cover me for a couple months rent!" I yelled. Why would she do this!? "I'm you're daughter! Can't you just trust me with my career choice and love me unconditionally like you're supposed to do?"
"Well I won't let you blindly chase after a unrealistic dream, speaking of which....." she said as she pulled out a folder and handed it to me, "You will apply for all of these colleges, once you've sent me proof then I will give you your money back. You will have no problem getting into these schools with the grades you've gotten." she then walked out of my apartment and closed the door. How could she do this? I grabbed my laptop but when I opened it there was an interesting recommendation.
"There's an art contest?" my eyes widened, "The winner gets $100,000!?" I squealed with excitement. I can't believe this! If I win I could move again so she can't find me again. And this time I'll make my own bank account, so she can't take my money again.
"Hmm let's see...."  I said as I looked further into the contest, "I have to draw an OC, that shouldn't be to hard. Oh! I can see other contestants!" I clicked on the link, these people are freaking good! I don't stand a chance against these people! Can I really do this? What if I fail? What will my mom think? I took a deep breath. No, I can't let her have that satisfaction. I'll just perfect my art so it's unbeatable. But even thought I'm saying this I'm still afraid of not succeeding.

I immediately started working on my OC, I pulled many all-nighters just trying to get it perfect. The day of the turn-in date arrived and I looked at my artwork. My OC turned out to be a cat girl with white hair but faded to purple in the middle. She had a flower crown and she was wearing a light purple kimono. I was about to click submit but I felt paralyzed again. I'm still not sure if I should do this. If I fail then all this hard work would be for nothing. I felt myself close the tab for the website and opened a new one and searched the first college my mother wanted me to apply to.

Honestly my biggest fear would probably be rollercoasters. I don't like that the only thing that's holding me down is just that bar thing. But then again I watched Final Destination 3 so I'm probably just being paranoid.

ZombieLand Saga Episode 1

The streaming site I used was CrunchyRoll, and I'll be re-watching the first episode because I really liked it. The creator of ZombieLand Saga is Munehisa Sakai, and it was made on October 4th, 2018. With a 96% approval rate ZombieLand Saga is counted as a comedy anime. The first episode is about a girl, Minamoto Sakura, dies by getting hit by a truck. Ten years later she is revived as a zombie with other girls. Though, Sakura is the only one that is 'awake'. The person who revived the group of girls, Kotaro, explains how they must turn into an idol group to save the city Saga. The group consists of Minamoto Sakura, Nikaido Saki, Konno Junko, Yugiri, Hoshikawa Lily, Mizuno Ai, and Yamada Tae. At the end of the episode all the girls except Tae is 'awake'. I really liked the first episode because it was very funny, especially with Tae jumping into the crowd trying to jump in the crowd in their first performance. I most definitely didn't find anything bad about it. The only recommendation I would make for Munehisa Sakai is that I think that Tae should be awake. I'm curious to what her personality is like.
