A day in the life of Selina, wake up at 6:30, turn off alarm, wake up late, mom rushes me out the door we drop off Ethan & Molly maybe stop at McDonalds for a pineapple mango smoothie then go to school (West Kildonan Collegiate) spend 6 and a half hours doing **** all then go home, take a few rips, eat, watch movies. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursday you have football from 6-8, you absolutely hate football but you’re the best player & very important to the team so you have to stay, you’re pretty much failing school cause of it too & your mom is always on your *** about grades especially math but you suck at it. Right now you’d rather be learning important things you’re going to be using in life, something that’s important to you, when you’re in class you’re usually dreaming about getting out of your house, getting an apartment and living independently and living life to the fullest. Role model Uncle Justin has forever been my role model he’s so free does whatever he pleases, goes wherever he pleases and still manages to make a life even though you only see him every few years, talk to him maybe twice a year you’re still happy for him, he is somewhere having fun, not giving a ****, he’s your role model cause you want to be exactly like him, livin it up. Highlights of the year Transferring to West K Meeting Drenal Thomas (boyfriend) Becoming friends with Kat and Chiara Exploring abandoned houses Camping with Coral, Abby, Sam, Calvin and the cat we found Touchdown on first play of the year Driving Corals car Buying my first bong Mya summer party Halloween party Getting Rabbits Party you threw Making new friends at West K Fishing with Ginna & Abby Becoming friends with Natalia Cabin party (yikes!) Chillin with Rochelle, Abby and Coral all summer The coyotes football group summer 17 Getting over 70 on my test Winning football championships Family studies group (Karissa, Natalia, Aiden) Assiniboine park party Jets whiteout Lessons learned and advice You have a huge heart even though you come off hard you're not, you're actually very sensitive and only people that are really close to you will see it, you have always had lots of fakes in your life and end up hurt whether its friends or boys, stop letting people into your life so easy, your mom could always see fake people and always warned you about them when they would come into your life and even after they hurt you, you would still consider them friends, you need to stop being so forgiving and trusting with all the wrong people, you are also pretty judgemental so stop judging people at first glance of them and give them a chance. sometimes ur super not confident in yourself, even though you are super cute (remember that). You thought school was just ****** up at the beginning of this grade 9 year but only now with 20 days left you are starting to realize that this is probably something you are going to need in a couple years guaranteed. I hope you've found a job you enjoy instead of hating everyday like you did with school even though it is boring as hell and most classes are unnecessary & half the **** I am never gonna use. All in all I hope you are leading a happy life and you are content with how you have grown as a person and you have a decent job, got an apartment, maybe a dog, possibly a boyfriend.
