The Holidays: A List of Gifts and Not For Me Gifts

-


As the holidays are just around the corner, there is one things that always comes to one’s mind: Gifts. Gifts is what makes everyone look forward to the holidays. We are excited about what we will be getting from family and friends. However, though dreaming about what you are going to get is on the easy side, deciding what to give to your family and friends is not. You never want to give someone something they don’t even like or don’t use, it’s just a waste of money. Usually during this time, I make a list of things I want to get and then email or text it to my relatives, making it easier for them to find gifts, and also making it easier on me, since I know what I will most likely get, and won’t be pondering about it for 95% of my day, everyday until I get my gifts. That’s why this post is going to be my list of gifts I really want. Also, sometimes people might want to get you more than what you asked for, so I also made a list of want not to get for me. This also makes it easier for people since they will know what not to get you so that they can get you other things.

My List of Gifts:

1. Books: I love reading. I like to own books so that I can reread them anytime I want. I also prefer perfect condition books because they are so nice looking and perfect. Books bring me happiness because I can experience someone else’s life or world, and can just pass time reading them.

 2. Pens: I like writing in pen, especially gel pens that are in bright, fun colors. I like taking notes with them for school, and it brightens up everything. Notes in black ink look so boring, but when I write in different colors, it looks nicer and colorful. I enjoy using colorful pens because it makes my day brighter.
3. Journals: Since I want pens, I need to have something to write in. I like writing in journals to take notes and for random things as well. I also like having journals for different things, like one for notes, and another for drawing. With journals, I can stay organized as well. I want to get journals because they help me stay organized, and that makes me happy because I hate not staying organized and it makes me annoyed when things are messy.

My List of Not For Me Gifts:
1. Clothes: I don’t like my relatives getting me clothes for a few reasons. First, they sometimes get me something I don’t like. Most of the time it’s the style or design I don’t like. Second, they don’t get the right size. They might get clothes that are too small or too big. Third, I don’t really need clothes, since I already have plenty of clothes. So, I don’t get happy when relatives get me clothes because either I don’t want any or they don’t get the clothes I like.

2. Makeup: I never wear makeup. The most makeup I have ever worn was just lipstick. I just don’t like it and I think it is annoying. Some people like makeup, but I just don’t. So, I will not be happy if someone got me makeup as a gift because I just don’t like it.

3. Electronics: I don’t really hate getting electronics as a gift, but I don’t really need more of it. I already have my own laptop and phone, and that’s really all I need. I don’t play video games much, so I don’t need any gaming consoles. So, I wouldn't really enjoy getting any electronics because I don’t really need any more of it.

I recommend making lists like these for your family and friends to make it easier on them for when they are looking for gifts for you.

    I really liked how you explained why you want the gifts that you want for Christmas. What are some types of things that you like to write?

      I like writing stories, mainly fantasy. Sometimes when I get ideas, I like to write them down, so that I could remember them and write about them later.

The Outsiders: Ponyboy

-
Of all the characters in The Outsiders , I think that the one who I can connect to the most is Ponyboy. Ponyboy and I have some things in common. We both like to read, and go to school. He also likes to spend time alone, like at the movies, or reading a book. I enjoy spending time quietly doing my own things, like reading. I prefer to hang out in a quiet environment like my room, and I am usually in a better mood. Ponyboy seems to get lost in his thoughts when he is alone. At the beginning of the book, Ponyboy was walking home alone when some Socs attacked him. When his friends saved him, Darry said that Ponyboy never thinks. Most likely it’s just that Ponyboy is getting lost in his own thoughts and is not paying attention when he is alone. It doesn’t happen to me a lot when I am outside, but sometimes when I am inside, and have nothing to do, I might block out everything else, and think about random things. Ponyboy and I both get lost in our own thoughts, and we both like staying i...

  Margie Oppenheimer is a Holocaust survivor who has an interesting story about the three camps that she was sent to. First, she went to Riga Ghetto where she had to shovel snow. Though it seems like hard work, she said that it wasn't so hard, and she continued working hard so that she could survive. Not too long after she was sent to work at a rubber factory at Stutthof Concentration Camp. Some people think that everyone who watched over prisoners were bad because they were being cruel to their prisoners, but Margie’s boss at the factory wasn't like those stereotypes. He let his employees take pictures of themselves, and cook in his kitchen using his food. He had helped Margie and many others survive too. During a selection at this camp, Margie was chosen to die, but she didn't die thanks to her trusty friends Fanny and Rosaly. They pulled her under the fence and brought her to another barrack. Many things and people helped Margie survive through the Hol...

Endings and Beginnings

-
           As the end of the school year nears, I have created some goals that I want to achieve before it's over. One goal that I want to achieve is getting the best grades that I can possibly get. To me, grades are very important even though sometimes it doesn't matter what grades you get, but I still like to get the highest grades possible. Ways that I can do this is by working hard during class and on my homework. Another way I can do this is by doing extra credit. Some of my classes give extra credit, and I always do them. Another goal I have is to do well on my finals. I am going to study very hard, but not too hard that I'll have a mental breakdown. My goals for the end of the school year are getting the best grades, and doing well on my finals.             Also, I have goals for summer break as well. During winter break and spring break, I sometimes feel like I didn't make the most of my time, so one goal of mine durin...
