Whats Important Depends On When By Heather Holick

-
Whats important to me really changes periodically. Yes, there are certain things that stay consistent such as family and friends but other then that it is constantly changing. Right now basketball is important to me. Basketball has given my a distraction from school and when

i'm playing it is like nothing else matters. It has also caused me to form some great friendships with people I wouldn't normally talk to. When my teammates and I are on the bus or watching a game we are constantly laughing. However, in a month when softball starts it will replace basketballs importance to me and become my new focus.

I'm not saying that things lose their importance simply because something else comes along. I'm saying that you have to know your priorities in your life during that specific time. For example, right now i'm sure school has its importance in all of our lives in one way or another but when school is over and summer begins other things will begin to prioritize over it until it starts again.

Family is forever which is why it will always have its importance to me, as well as my friends. In my opinion family and friends should always be prioritized over the things that change periodically in your life. My family and friends are always there for me and I can trust them with anything. I have had the some of the best moments of my life with them which is why they mean so much to me.

Whats important to you makes you who you are because those are the things/people you value the most. Prioritizing whats important to you will lead you to being happy.

    I also agree that family is everything and then other important things do come and go.

Not Fate, Just a Coincidence - Sila Paniker

The idea of fate confuses me. I don't really understand how something will happen no matter what you do. It just seems very unlikely. I think we're constantly making choices that lead to occurrences. We make so many decisions a day that it seems impossible that fate can find a way around it all.  Awhile ago, I saw something called the Butterfly Effect, which doesn't exactly relate to fate but it makes sense to me. The idea is that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado on the other side of the world. Essentially, small changes can have large impacts. In my head, this connects with the thousands of tiny decisions we subconsciously make each day. There are people I've met or things that have happened and it feels like it was meant to be but they're just a bunch of coincidences that had the ability to change everything. Thinking about it, there are reasons that can explain everything. For example, I met one of my closest friends a few years ago a

Grace vs. the Tortoise - by Grace McDonough

I haven't formed my thoughts about this school year yet because it's only the second day but my first day was straight fire. I got to reunite with the friends and meet my teachers and all the good stuff but I did burst into tears after school because I realized that I do actually have to go back every day. Not mentally prepared yet. I may have also just started sobbing because I woke up at 5:30 a.m. but I'm sure I'll have worse states of delirium as the year progresses. In all honesty, every first day of school has been the same for me since I became a sentient being somewhere around the second grade. All of the teachers ask if I'm related to my siblings who graduated long before me and have apparently left a legacy for me to fulfill. It does get a bit stressful, considering how my new teachers might adjust to me just not being as funny or creative or talented as my older brother and sister. School does have it's charming though. I desperately wanted summer to l

Goodbye 2010s - Grace McDonough

After a bit of pondering on what story I should put on display for the topic of creative writing, I realized that my idea bank is completely dry. So, as they say, write from experience! The holidays are fast approaching, as they always are and with it, a new decade. 2020. That's a big one. When we look back in time, it seems as if everything gets classified by the decade. The '70s are groovy, the '80s are colorful, the '90s are... slimy? All I can think of is Moon Shoes and Nickelodeon-gak. And Rugrats. For some reason, our culture has always been obsessed with nostalgia. The kids that got inspired grew up, and they draw from their childhood, which then inspires the next generation, who writes about their childhood and so forth. For us, that means our generation is going to reflect on the 2010s when we're our parents' age, just the same way they talk about the '80s. It's scary but it's true. Instead of comic books and magazines, we'll be
