book/film recommendation

SInce I read it almost 5 years ago, I have recommended the book, World Without End, to everyone who has been in need for a book. Written by Ken Follett, the books tells the story of a cathedral town in England throughout a bitter conflict between England and France. It is filled with drama, suspense, tragedy, and an amazing plot. The novel, is a little dense, so I would only suggest this book to those who have enough time to read or endurance to read a 1,000 page book.

Life List

What kind of chances can you take to life more fully?
1) Branch out and become friends with more new people.
2) Don't judge things at first glance.
3) Try new things (especially foods).
4) Exercise more to build  up my body.
5) Don't get stressed over the little things.

Cell Phone

My life would most likely change for the worse if I did not have a cell phone. Having a cell phone in this generation is the staple part of a teenagers culture. If I didn't have a cell phone, communication would literally be a struggle. Unless I was at home, I would not be able to be contacted by friends... at all. It's very different than not having a cell phone and being a teenage 10 years ago because NO ONE had a cell phone. While having a cell absent from my life could benefit me, the odds are slim to none.

Inanimate Objects

I'd like to say otherwise, but one of the biggest inanimate objects that I cling to is my phone. In the modern-day, to not have a smartphone is to fall behind, and to have a smartphone is terribly wonderful. With so many things able to be performed, there is never a dull moment on an iPhone. This also means that sometimes, real life can seem a little bland. Occasionally I wish I didn't have a phone, and not be subject to the whims of a technological device, but regardless it is an object I cling to.

24 Hours in the Day of Luke

The Graph of my Life is a grand compilation of the many things in my day. As it is seen, there are a variety of activities present in my life. 2 of those things consume it. With about 8 hours of sleep a night, and 6.5 hours of school a day, plus an added 2.5 hours of homework as a result, the bulk of my 24-hour day consists of things mandatory by my body, and the law. However the rest of the day is given to me to do with it what I please. Sometimes, it's nice to be reminded of that.

Puppy


Stressful

This word easily describes my past for a variety of reasons. Choosing a college can be one of the most difficult processes in a persons life, and yet teens are expected to do this at a very young age. In some cases, before we can even vote. Coming to a conclusion about  college, along with the application process has taken a drastic toll on my stress life. The added bonus of school doesn't help much either.
