My first blog entry! Wow. A few hours ago, I wasn't really sure what I should write about. Everyone makes it seem so easy - just find a topic and type about it. Some people even said that I didn't need a topic to write about. So, as I stared at this intimidatingly huge text box, I was desperately searching for answers of what to write about. I mean, first impressions are important, right? I knew I couldn't mess this up. Then I knew that if people are going to even read my blog, they will probably want to know about the author first. So that's when I decided to write about myself (honestly, this is one of my favorite subjects; I can talk about myself for hours!). For today's blog entry, you'll get to learn a little bit about me. But, before you start, you should probably know that I'm thirteen years old.

What are some things you like to do in your free time?

There are lots of things I like to do. One of the most obvious things is what I'm doing now - writing. I write make-believe stories all the time; most of the time just for fun. I also love to read. Some of my most favorite books are a part of book series: the Harry Potter series, Twilight, the Hunger Games, and Divergent. There are obviously a lot of other books I favorite out there as well, but those are the ones I can name off of the top of my head.

I also like to watch tv. My favorite tv show of all time is Once Upon a Time (although the seventh season is awful). The show I am currently watching is Vampire Diaries. If you're watching it, please comment who your favorite character is. Mine is Damon Salvatore all the way.

What are some of your "Favorite Things"?

Honestly, most of my favorite things change within every day. It mainly depends on what mood I am in. For example, my favorite singer used to be Olivia Rodrigo (do you see the keywords, used to be?). Here are some of my current favorite things, though.

Color: Baby Blue
Animal: Elephants (always has been and always will be)
TV Show: Stranger Things
Movie: ???
Food: Ribs or anything that has sugar as an ingredient
Flowers: Daffodils
Store: Barnes and Noble
Drink: Water
Sport: Basketball (although I cannot play it)
Ice cream Flavor: Mint chocolate-chip

Who are your best friends? Why are these people your best friends?

I don't have any best friends at the moment, besides my mom. This school year is a fresh start for me, and I hope to find a couple of new, better friends for myself!

This is all for today. I hope you like this! Feel free to comment or give a review. Be as honest as you like, I love when people give me feedback!!

Love you guys :)

For today's blog entry, I am just going to vent a little bit, so if you aren't interested in hearing the troubles of a thirteen year old, this entry isn't really for you (in fact, this whole blog probably wouldn't be for you).

Yesterday, I went to Aspen's birthday party, which was horseback riding. Olivia and Makyla were both there, of course, since they are both Aspen's friends. I was one of the few people who didn't wear any form of boots (I just wore sneakers), because I don't own any pair of boots. I don't normally do stuff like horseback riding because my parents don't really have the time or money to do that, so that's why I don't have any boots. So what did Olivia and Makyla decide to say since I wasn't wearing any boots? They called me a "city girl" and told me that I wasn't "country" enough to be invited to anything like this.

Later, Olivia also said that the second I walked into the woods I would die. I started ignoring her after that. It wasn't the fact that I was mad at her, because I wasn't, it's the fact that she's just plain old annoying. For one, she always, ALWAYS, has to make herself seem better, even if that means overexaggerating or lying to do so. In PE, she's always telling me that she's stronger than me, better at kicking, running, whatever, than I am. Honestly, she's probably worse than me at all of those things than she is better (except kicking; she kicks me a lot, and trust me it HURTS).

Olivia also lies a lot which is super annoying. She told me and a couple of my friends that nine guys asked her out in a year, and when I asked her what their names were, she told me "I don't remember." I would think that if nine guys asked you out, you would remember at least one of their names. I really sometimes just want to take her and tell her that she doesn't have to lie to impress me or make me want to be her friend. She doesn't have to intimidate me or make up these cool lies about herself so that I'll like her more - because if anything, it makes me like her less and less.

Everytime I get mad at Olivia and take time away from her presence, she starts immediately talking bad about me behind my back. A couple weeks ago, I was walking directly behind Olivia and Makyla in the hallway and I heard Olivia say, "Yeah. Emma just needs to shut her big mouth. Don't you agree?" I almost started crying and didn't talk the rest of the day, her words constantly ringing in my ears, because I was worried that everyone else thought that I had a big mouth. I realized later after talking to my mom that I do not have a big mouth. If I did, many of the secrets Olivia has shared with me (and only me) would no longer be secrets. I don't brag in front of people either, because most of the time I am talking about the things I don't like about myself to others because it is easier than talking about the things I do like.

Olivia always acts like she knows me so well. I hate it. No one at school knows me at all. Everyday I walk into school, put a fake smile on my face (sometimes its genuine, but not usually) and pretend everything is okay. Pretend like I don't have my own troubles at home. I have no true best friend at school. I don't have anyone truly there for me at school, not yet anyway. The only person who has always been there for me is my mom. God, I love her.

I don't think that I can continue being friends with Olivia next school year. This is just a broad amount of things that Olivia has done to annoy or make me mad. I haven't included the many things that she has done to put me down or embarrass me in front of the whole school. My mom herself said that she has seen a change in myself since I've become friends with Olivia - I've become more defensive, sassy, sad, self-conscious, moody. All sorts of things.

I really need your guys' advice right now. Please let me know what to do.
