Movie Review

By Anonymous -


Today I went to the movies and saw Before I Fall with one of my friends. I recently saw the commercial for this movie and I needed to see it, it sounded so good. This movie was actually based on a book by Lauren Oliver, and I highly suggest reading it, it's one of my favorite books, and if you don't like reading, just go see the movie.

This movie is about a girl, Samantha Kingston, who keeps re-living the day of her death. She's stuck re-living this day for seven days. She keeps re-living the same day until she figures out what she has to do to get out. This day happens to be her favorite day which is Valentines Day (which they call Cupid Day) and what's kinda weird is that Valentines Day is February 12th in the movie and in the book.

This movie was overall pretty good. I liked it, but as always when a book is turned into a movie, they left out some details that I thought were pretty important (I'm not going to list them because I don't want to spoil anything, but if you read the book before seeing the movie, you'd know what I'm talking about.) I would definitely watch this movie again. I really love how Samantha realized what kind of person she was and once she kept re-living the same day over and over again, she realized that she had to be nice to people and value her friendships and family. She realized that her friends were really rude to people and that she wasn't a nice person.

My Life Quotes

By Anonymous -

Hello! These are my three life quotes that explain me very well! I picked the quote "Spread Happiness" -Colleen Ballinger/Evans because, there is lots of hate in the world, and everyone needs to share their happiness, and spread more happiness! This really describes me because it feels so amazing to make people's day better, and make them smile and laugh. I also picked the quote "She turned her can'ts into cans and her dreams into plans" because, I am a very determined person. I put lots of effort into all my school projects/school work, and I am determined to do the best that I possibly can. For my last quote, I picked "Winners don't always win... They just don't give up." This describes me very well because I play softball, and whenever I have a game/practice I try my absolute best to do everything almost perfect. Also I never give up, and cheer for my teammates.

13 Reasons Why

This week's blog post topic is either free write or about PARCC testing. So for free write I decided to write about one of my recent favorite Netflix shows, which is based on one of my favorite books. Thirteen Reasons Why is by far one of the best Netflix shows I've ever watched. First of all the actors are amazing. Dylan Minnete and Katherine Langford look exactly how I imagined Clay and Hannah while reading the book. Although, I will say the show is pretty graphic, and some parts I had to skip through. When I was reading the book, I didn't want to put it down, it was so good.  Thirteen Reasons Why is about a girl named Hannah Baker who makes seven tapes. On the seven tapes are two sides, and each side is "a reason." The reasons are about why she committed suicide. If you like suspenseful books and shows, I highly recommend both the book and the show.  (SPOILERS BELOW) So while watching the show I realized many things that were different than in t...

Graduation Speech

By Anonymous -
Hello all family, friends, teachers and Golf Middle School graduates. I can't believe our time at District 67 has come to an end. Even though our time here is over, the memories will stay with us forever. I want to thank my friends, family, teachers and classmates. My friends have helped me come out of my comfort zone and made me laugh non-stop. This year my friends helped me come out of my comfort zone so much that they discovered I was the one distracting my table in Mrs. Joyner's class. All the friendships I've had in these nine years at District 67 have made me the person that I am today. Throughout kindergarten to eighth grade at District 67, with new and old friends, I have made so many amazing memories that I'll never forget. Next, I'd like to thank my family for always being there for me and for supporting me. I wouldn't be anywhere without them, especially my parents. My parents always push me to do the best I can possibly do, and no matter what I ...
