Hi everyone! How has your day been? It is the last day of 2016-wow! This year has been the best year of my entire life and I couldn't be happier to where I am today. This year has been a year of new friends, experiences and opportunities that I am so grateful for. Although the first half of this year wasn't the best for me blogging wise, the second half has been great with me rarely missing an upload! I use this blog to escape from the real world and let my mind and thoughts become free and write and do what ever I like to publish. I have loved your continuous support that I am ever so thankful for. I would like to take this time to say thank you. Thank you for always being there for me, reading my posts and hopefully enjoying them. You have been keeping by my side and coming with me on my journey. You guys make me ever so happy that words can not describe. I hope you guys have enjoyed our 2016 chapter and that only good and amazing things and opportunities come with our 2017 chapter!

New Years Resolutions!
Hi, everyone! How has your week been? Mine has been great! Now that this year is coming to a close *cries* I think that it is about time that we reflect on this year and how we can make the next even better. This year has honestly been the best year of my entire life and I am so happy to be able to document it and share it with you guys! I'm going to be looking back at me old resolutions and make new ones here now so that maybe you can be inspired! Let's do this!
Old Resolutions:
Work on this blog- I think that this is a tick for me. In the first half of this year, I was very sick and unable to post. In the summer, I planned out and organised my blog so that I have been able to post as often as possible and I ]have enjoyed every minute of it.
Start Dancing-This was a big no for me. I guess I just over thought it and gave up. However, I am still stretching because remaining flexible is very good!
Get My Hair Done- Tick! I did that after 10 months of waiting in the year! My hair has grown so much and I'm going to wait until it grows another 2 inches to get it cut again otherwise my hair is going to get way too long again.
Lose Weight- I have lost some weight however, I still feel fat. I hate my shoulders, thighs and stomach. I am ugly and no one has ever called me beautiful.
Getting over fears and anxieties/bad habits- I have been able to work on this a lot like getting involved with acting. I still have social anxiety however it has gotten better.
Not Caring About What Anyone Thinks About Me- I have sort of started this. Yet, I can be very self-conscious still.
New Resolutions:
Do More Of What Makes Me Happy
Lose Weight
Caring less to what others think of me
Getting over anxieties
Doing as well in school as possible!
All of these things (if I work on them) will help me become a better person, I hope I do well with these resolutions!

Merry Christmas + Things I Have Learned This Year! (The Best Year Of My Entire Life)
Hi, everyone! Guess what? This year has gone within a blink of an eye and my America event is now finished (I will make a new post about it in the new year) and it went so well! I want to cry because of how amazing it was! This week just went so quickly that I wish I breathed in more of it, I want to do it again! New friends, opportunities and everything! I just want to cry! I have loved it so much- it was worth every penny! It is now Christmas! This moment just feels so surreal. I can't believe it's here. I just want to wish you guys a very Merry Christmas and thank you for everything you do and for sticking with me! I love you.
Here I some things I have learned this year:
1. I can do anything!
I just performed in front of agents for acting! Something I thought I'd never do! I feel so happy and confident and proud. I want to cry!
2. Not to care as much!
I have stopped caring too much about what others think of me because if people can't except me for who I am, then why on earth should I care? I have grown my confidence so much that I want to cry.
3. Challenges are made for you because you can beat them.
I can't put this into words but these things wouldn't come your way for no reason, you will grow and you will learn.
4. You are made as you for a reason.
This is one I have come to terms with recently. The reason why I'm not another person in another family is because I was made this way for a reason, maybe I cannot recognise that reason just yet but I know it is something big.
I hope you guys have a very Merry Christmas that you all so deserve. What are things that you have learned this year? Leave them in the comments! Follow me on instagram, snapchat and twitter @itsjustthatgir1 for all updates. Thanks for making me have the best year of my entire life! Love you guys so much! *All the hugs and squeezes!*

Winter Essentials!
Hi Everyone! Guess what? I'm back and it's basically December now! What on earth I mean I can't believe it is December. I'm saying it's December just because of how close we are! I have such big things coming up that can change my life and I'm can't believe it's going to be new years yet. Time has flown way too quickly. I am back from my school trip! It was the best 10 days ever= overcoming many challenges and meeting new people and experiences. However, my flight was cancelled on the way back so I got to stay an extra 4 days (it felt like a vacation) so I ended up being away for 2 weeks! I am so relieved to be home! I was so tired and ready although I had an amazing time. Now, I just have to really really study and learn for my exams and practice for my auditions in America. Considering it's winter, my favourite time of the entire year, I thought it would be cool (get it, because cool, cold, winter? No? Yeah I think I'm funny...) to give you guys some winter essentials to have this winter! Let's get started!

Candles

My School Life Update!
What's up everyone? How has your week been? I hope you have all had a great week and if you haven't, don't worry, it's Friday and it's time to relax! I am having a very few busy months ahead of me and I'm going to be missing a post as I am going to be away on a very exciting school trip. Then as soon as I get back and then knuckle down for exams and then I'm off to America for my acting! So today I thought it would be cool to do a chatty post about school before things begin to get hectic. Let's get started!
I'll be honest with you guys, when it comes to school, I'm my worst enemy. I am so hard on myself and recently I have almost been too hard on myself so much that I haven't been doing so well in some specific subjects. I have been doing really well in another 2 subjects as well, including English, my ultimate favourite subject- but I could be doing maybe a tad better though. But I feel like I can't trust any teachers. I probably have just about 2-4 teachers who I sort of trust to tell anything to/ sorta like. I really miss my favourite teacher from last year. She taught me so so much that I can't even explain! She was kind and I could honestly go to her for anything. Not everyone love her from my class, but I did. I just wished she stayed. I have actually cried because I feel like I'm not good enough. I feel like that I should be doing so much better. My aim is for when I get back from my school trip, I'm going to be knuckling down so hard that I will be the best I can be.
Friends wise everything is going ok actually. I love my friends so much and I am SUPER excited to be spending time with them. It's going to be great. Make sure to look out for a blog post about my school trip!
*Remember Next Time I Come Back I Will Be Posting 2 Posts Because I Will Be Missing One!*
That is it today! Thank You guys ever so much for reading this post! It means the absolute world to me! What are your suggestions for me and school and how is school going for you? Make sure to leave them in the comments down below. I have actually planned blog posts for the rest of the year so get excited because they are good ones!

School Life Update!
Hi everyone! How has your week been? Sorry today's post isn't the longest, I just wanted to touch on some things. I hope you've had an amazing week, if not, don't worry, I haven't had the best one either. Why you may ask? Well, I haven't received the best grade in the whole world, in fact it's my worst, from a core subject and on the subject of school, I thought I would write a chatty school life update for you all. Let's begin!
Friends
Well I've been loving my friends. Bestie and I are as close as we used to be before the drama last year and I've made new besties as well. However, one of my good friends is dating (but they always claim they're not however I have heard them talking about planning dates) one of the people who I don't necessarily love. I trust this guy (one of my friends) however I know he's not the most trust worthy person in the whole world but I like him. So I'm confused. But my friends and I are close, I love them.
Grades, Work & Teachers
So this has been ok. Math has been terrible, I received the worst grade I have ever received in my entire life in anything. I have never been more mad at myself. I am normally an extremely smart person, now, I just feel stupid as can be and I hate myself for it. English is my best subject and I personally feel that I haven't been working so hard. I am so hard on myself that generally I'm my own worst enemy. I hold myself to such a high standard that if I don't get a really high grade, I will cry. I have no favourite teacher and I have no favourite subject. I said I liked english class, it's my best but I don't love it like I used to do last year. Last year, I had my favourite teacher in the entire world and now, she's gone. I don't know, it's just that I'm not loving school at the moment. I can't wait for a small break though. Yet, I have the anxiety of exams and trips coming up. What should I do?

Someone Help Me Escape This Nightmare....
I can't take it anymore I just can't. Where do I even start, my family. They don't care about me. When they do something wrong and I kick up a fuss about it, it's always my fault. I'm currently writing with my eyes blurred with tears. A have an arsehole of a father. I don't even consider him a father figure. All he does is get mad at me. He's a fat lonely depressed hypocrite who I can't even stand. My family don't recognise my anxiety and thats killing me on the inside ever so lonely. I hate coming home. Wanna know why I love my bed, my phone and sleep so much? It's because I can escape. I feel like a time ticker when I get home. Just counting away every second until I explode and when I do. No one cares. No one cares if I don't eat, sleep, breathe, take one breath. I'm worthless to everyone around me. I love my friends but even my friends hate me. I'm a bitch. I won't ever stop singing and I'm terrible why everyone hates me. I think i'm so cool when I'm not. People think I fish for compliments when in actually I'm just being hard on myself. I can't take it any longer. What can I say about myself. Fat. Pimple faced. Stupid. Ugly. Gossiped about. Disgusting. Horrible. Not pretty. Alien. Anxiety crippled. Hideous. Vial. A liability to those around me. I need to get out. I need to escape. Somewhere just away from where I'm from. I feel like I'm drowning in a suffocating pool of compressed air that won't let me escape as if I'm living a nightmare. I feel like I can't be happy. I'm young. People shouldn't be thinking like this when they're this young. My heart is beating as if I'm having a panic attack. I can't breathe. I'm exploding and shattering into millions of pieces. My heart is racing with anxiety and how I have to start homework and assignments and if I don't get good grades I'm screwed. Someone help me. Please. I'm begging.

My Haircut!
Hi everyone! How are you doing? I hope you had an amazing week! Can I just say that I am absolutely shocked that it's October. I know I'm literally saying it in every post but it's true! I can't even come to terms that I don't feel like it's 2016 yet, in a couple of months, I will be writing 2017. That just sounds crazy! Today is gonna be a short post but I hope you enjoy it!
Guess what guys, I got a haircut! Yep, I actually did! Goodbye waist length hair hello just 3 inches above belly button, hair. I know you guys must be saying, what? It's still long. For me it's the shortest its ever been in like years! Plus, I had 9-10 inches cut off, that is a lot!
I was so so so nervous. What happened if it looks bad? What if I hate it? But if I'm honest, I had no reason at all to be so nervous. I love my new hair!
No, I couldn't donate it as much as I wanted to. This is because I didn't want to donate 10 inches of dead hair. I would rather donate 10 inches of healthy hair so it's quality.
Now, it's still long but it's so so much easier! My ponytail actually swings, it doesn't hang down! It's healthy, it's lighter and I'm just so so happy with it! It also looks so much better as well! To be honest I want to cut it even shorter! Not crazy but maybe possibly just below nipple length! Who knows, I want to get it trimmed and look nicer again before I go to America for my event!
I posted a pic on a personal social media platform of mine of my new hair which means the boys in my class saw it. One guy said I look completely different (which I totally don't, it's just guys being guys) and the next day, another guy actually said I look good and he started to touch it. I kinda like the boys in my year playing with my hair only because it's really funny + interesting to see what their opinions are!
Cutting my hair was also on my new year's resolutions list! Tick! Now I feel even better! Why didn't I do this before? I feel so much better now!

My Audition Experience!
Hey Everyone! Today's post is gonna be a long one as it's very important! Make sure to follow me on Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat @itsjustthatgir1I hope you enjoy and here you go!
Ever since I was a young girl, I have been always interested in television. Especially comedy. I love seeing people with a smile on their face because I just made them laugh or if something has made them laugh. If you didn't know this already. I have always been the one who knows what each television shows are about, behind the scenes things as well as which actors play in the show. I have also always been interested in writing. I find that it's an expressive way to convey your feelings. Not many people would expect me to do what I was planning to do, considering people's initial thoughts of me are quiet and shy. One of my earliest memories are watching Disney channel every morning before school, I would wonder, "Hey, I wonder what it's like to be on a television screen" and I would always keep that thought in my head. I was committed to try to fulfil that dream of knowing what it's like to be on a television screen. Over the last summer as I was relaxing in my room, being lazy and scrolling around on the Internet suddenly, an advert appeared on my screen. Not just any advert, but an advert for a program. This program was called 'Premiere Program' a program that helps kids get work in the television industry and the program was particularly known for working with Disney Channel. The program is a week long, with workshops as well as giving us an insight to what life is like in the industry. Did I mention that they also have talent scouts there watching you? If you were lucky, they'd come up to you offering you jobs. The program takes place at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. As I saw the ad popping up quite a few times, I thought that I should maybe do it. Just give it my best shot and see what happens, what ever happens, it's an experience. A couple of nights later- late at night, I decided to show my mum the advert and the website. I made sure to do my research first before I make my mum sign me up for anything. She looked around the website and she signed me up there and then. Next day during lunch, I got a phone call from the company to get me as what's known as an evaluation which is an audition. A couple weeks past and then school began. The audition was the first weekend that school began. The first 2 days of school felt weird as I was anxiously awaiting the audition day. I started to do my research and watch videos on what the auditions and the program looks like. The head and founder of the Program, Michael David Palance, would go over the top with the acting. Taking people's phones, taking their headbands, speaking in their face and so much more purposely to throw people of their lines to see who can make it and who will break it. I began thinking of ways that I can get through the program without breaking out of character. I was committed to try and do the best I can. Within a blink of an eye, it was the audition day. I arrived and looked at how many people were there. In the end, there were about 2000 kids from all over my area. I got my number (1685), my lines (which were from the Disney show, KC Undercover) and form to fill in. I entered the room and was given a talk with the rest of the 2000 aspiring actors from the head of the program, Michael David Palance, and were given the expectations and reality of the auditions and the program as well as the industry. One word that came up was commitment. I ended up having to wait about 2:30 hours to be escorted to be in the Audition room. If I were being honest, I was so nervous ( although I was trying my hardest to stay as cool as a cucumber) that it is all a blur to me and I only feel like I waited for about 30 minutes. It came to the time where I was being sat in the Audition room. There were about 40 aspiring actors in each audition room. I was sat in the front. In front of me were the panel. There was Peyton Meyer ( who has ever since that day become my new celebrity crush and I am absolutely loving him right now!), actor from the Disney Show, Girl Meets World, a spin off show from the iconic Boy Meets World as well has ABC Family's Hayden Byrely from The Fosters. Along with Dru West, talent coordinator of the program and another woman who runs the program. How the audition works is that Michael and you, the auditioner, will read through a short script and see how you react. I was the 3rd person to audition which was a good thing because it didn't give me time to think and to get even more nervous. I decided to be the first person that talks. That way I can take control and outsmart the person I was auditioning with ( which was the head of the program, Michael David Palance) The line was talking about how the air was running out so I decided to think outside the box. I started panting and shaking the head of the program. I could tell he was taking an interest because he then started to fall purposely on me, called my mum his wife as well as fist bumping my mum to see if any of us were that committed that we'd just go with the flow. He then reflected on the performers and made cuts then and there. I then found out that I made the first round! I was very excited. Next stage was to email them on the Monday morning, 9 am to be exact and see if they are still interested in you. The Sunday before that Monday was one of the worst days ever! I constantly felt butterflies in my stomach and I didn't eat all day because I was terrified I might be sick. It came to Monday morning, a school day and I was anxiously watching the clock. Watching the seconds go past ever so slowly but yet, as quick as a snap of a finger. Luckily and gratefully, they were still interested in me. That same Monday, I went back for my callback. Sod's law, I was sick but I was committed to push through and hopefully get invited to the program. As I arrived at the callback, it was completely empty. I was the first one to arrive with my mum. Such a huge shock compared to how the weekend was with numbers of people compared to 50. I was given a new script to practice. I was getting anxious because I was so fortunate enough to even be sitting there let alone fight for a place to get to the program. The clock struck 6 o'clock pm which meant it was audition time. As soon as I was sat down, Mr. Palance told me that I was going first. I was happy that it was the case because it meant that I couldn't think about it first. He then explained the rules and expectations. It came to my audition and Mr. Palance went absolutely mad! Spitting in my face, hugging me and just going absolutely mental! It was nothing that I had ever seen before! I decided to push through however I was taken a back because I will admit, I was slightly scared but I got through the audition and I then sat down to watch the others audition. They other performers were incredible! But still, Mr. Palance went even crazier with them as with one girl, he threw water in her face! I was starting to get a little bit nervous as I felt the competition levels rise. It came to the end of the auditions. At this stage, my stomach was in knots. Twisting and turning and flipping. I didn't know what to do with myself as he was evaluating each performer. He called my name and shook my hand saying congratulations. I didn't think I got through but then he started saying sorry to other performers and that's when I realised, I got into the program! I was extremely excited and I was absolutely shocked. I felt unstoppable and definitely an unforgettable experience. I said thank you to Mr Palance straight away. I then asked how many people will be going through and they answered 30. That meant I was 30/2000 performers that went through! I couldn't believe it! I then sat down with my mum at a table to talk about my different options with attending the program. Mr. Palance then came up to me and my mum to say congratulations. I couldn't possibly express how grateful I was. We ended up talking about my options and there was a comedy option that I was interested in. Mr. Palance then called me a goofball and that is probably up there with the best compliments I have ever received in my life. I then signed papers with my mum at it was Official, I'm heading to Orlando Florida Disney world to attend Premiere Program! I was so so grateful. I was given a booklet with everything I need for the program and that's when everything started to feel a bit surreal. The next day at 10:15 pm at night, I facetimed the talent coordinator, Dru West for a practice run with a script that looked similar to a script I would have to be performing during the program. The FaceTime went really well and I was told I take directions greatly and that I should keep doing what I'm doing. That is everything that has happened so far and I can't wait until I can update you guys again with even more news!

How To Deal With School Anxiety
What's up guys? How is everyone doing today? Today I thought I would give you guys 5 tips for surviving school anxiety because school has unfortunately started for most of us and I'm definitely having anxiety. I'm scared I won't do as well as last term and I don't know how I did it last term as well as one of my best friends are moving after this year and I will cry so much because I love my friend so so much! Anyways, let's get on with the post!
1. Homework/ Projects
So this ALWAYS causes me the most stress. Something I have learned though is to learn how to NOT procrastinate. As much of a pain as it sounds, do your homework as soon as you get it and start your project (or at least begin to research) as soon as you get it. Make sure to also always learn how to manage your time! Keep yourself on a steady, stress free pace.
2. Teachers
Teachers, Teachers, Teachers, *Tut, Tut, Tut*. I don't know about you guys but around some teachers, my social anxiety is at an all time peak. I always feel like I'm being judged by them and I just hate teachers and I'm so upset because the one I actually felt comfortable around has left. I always have slight confrontation with meeting new teachers, especially if they give me the slightest and impression because my guard is always up around new people and it takes me almost the whole year to get comfortable around teachers. I think thats where my anxiety comes in to be honest. At the end of the day, as much as you think they might be out to get you, they're not. It's basically their job to look out for you. Yes, teachers have their favourites, it's obvious but they aren't out to ruin your life. If you have serious trouble with a teacher, speak to your parents as well as speaking to your principal because they are the people who are gonna make the change.
3. Friends
Now, I love my friends, my true friends and I honestly can't live with out them. Something that I want to touch on is friend drama. About a year ago, you may or may not remember that I had big drama circling around me. I never like to say I was bullied because it was never like that, I say it was more of a confrontation of trying to find out who my true friends are because I'm happier than I ever have been with my current friends. If you do somehow get into friend drama, here's what you should do.
1. Never let it get to you, it's 100000000% NOT worth it.
2. Always ask for advice from parents
3. Talk it out ( if you're brave enough, I'm definitely not but it always helps to find the problem)
4. It's never a bad thing to let friends go, sometimes, it's not meant to be.
5. If it's with your best friend, definitely ask your parents for help and do something about it!
4. Waking up early
Weirdly enough, this gets me anxious because I'm always scared I'm gonna be late and I'm gonna wake up late and it actually stops me from getting sleep because the thought is constantly on rewind on my head. I recommend speaking to your parents about this if you're like me. What I did is that I talked to my parents and my mum has been giving me pills that relaxes my muscles from tensing from stress and that aids sleep. That has definitely been working for me. I always take them about 1.30 mins before I go to sleep so that it has time to kick in.
5. Overall/ Dealing with change.
Every school year comes change. New schedule, new class mates, new teachers, new expectations etc. Overall, remember, just breathe. Take a second to just bring yourself together, take your mind out of what you're doing. Remember not to lose yourself and if you're ever in somewhat of discomfort or trouble, talk to someone because it will get better. Remember to also allow yourself some time to get used to the changes ( something that I really need to learn how to do because I'm definitely not good at this) and remember, alway try your best and stay true to yourself.

My Summer In Photos!
Hi everyone! How are you? Since I am now back to school, settling in with the new changes, I have been reflecting a lot about how my summer went and I thought it would be cool to give you guys an insight of what my summer looked like through photos I took on my iPhone 6S. School has been so weird, I can't even explain if I'm truly honest. The whole school is literally replaced with renovations and teachers and I just don't know how I feel about everything yet. I'm not that comfortable if I'm honest but hey, I'll get used to it. After that sour note, let's get on with the post! Enjoy!

First Day: I went to the beach with some of my best friends! Amazing Day!
Second Day: Went on a boat ride with family friends. Let me just say that it was one of the best days of summer! But I did have a very bad sunburn...oops!
.....
About a month and a half later, I went on Holiday so here are some photos of that!
'
And a BEAUTIFUL sunset marked the ending of a wonderful holiday!

Summer Night Time Routine
Hey everybody! How's it going? I'm doing pretty well at the moment if I say so myself. Considering it is nearly the end of Summer, (Hold up a second? End of Summer? WHAT!?! Where has the time gone, seriously!) I thought I would give you guys an insight of what a typical Summer night would look like for me, here it is!
7:00pm: Shower
I love showering I think it's the most relaxing time of the day and I especially love singing in the shower.
7:30-8pm (Time range meaning I'll start doing what I will be doing in those times) Eat Dinner:
I do eat dinner a little late because I wait for my parents to come home from work and they come home around these times.
8:30pm- Chill with family + watch T.V.
This is my favourite time of the night as I get to catch up with my family and we all get to relax and talk about things. Including a family holiday that is coming up! EEK!
10:30pm- Get ready for bed
So after spending two hours of doing nothing with my family, I now get ready for bed. What I do is:
-Wash my face
-Brush my teeth
-Brush my hair
11:00pm- Get in bed and stay up for hours watching stuff on my phone and computer
My favourite time where I do nothing and entertain myself watching movies and youtube videos etc. Normally I stay up and watch youtuber's new videos as soon as they come out so I'm one of the first people to ever watch them. Hardcore fangirl over here!
3:30am- Get to sleep
Yes, I know, super stupidly late but it's summer and I have nothing to do the next day so why not stay up late? But I do admit, I do have sleeping problems so it does take me a while to get to sleep. But, from staying up late, I do get a really good night's sleep.

Summer Morning Routine!
Haloha Everybody! How are you? Since it's Summer, I thought I would show you guys my Summer Morning Routine! Just saying now that whatever I write time wise is a time range because everyday is different and I wake up at different times everyday. I do get really lazy on Summer Mornings because I don't have anything to do since everyone clears out every summer ( except for my family of course) so I hope you enjoy reading this post!
11am-1pm: Wake up:
Yes I know, extremely late but, I do go to bed much later (like 3am) because it's Summer and I can get into what ever schedule I want especially since I will most likely stay at home and be doing nothing all day so I may as well do what I like when I like. Wow, most brattiest sentence I have ever written in my life!
11:15am-1pm: Eat Breakfast:
No, it doesn't take me 2 hours to eat breakfast, it's a time range. My average looks like; A glass of water and a bowl of Greek Yoghurt and either strawberries, pineapple or both.
11:45am- 1:30pm: Catch Up On YouTube Videos and T.V Shows:
Every morning I like to do this because it's definitely relaxing and it's entertainment
11:50am- 1:35pm: Wash Face:
Every morning, I've been setting myself a task/habit to wash my face everyday so I can have as healthy of a face as possible and I really want clear skin because I am going through a massive breakout right now and it is not fun at all!
11:55am- 1:40pm: Brush Teeth:
It may sound really weird but I LOVE brushing my teeth. I find it so relaxing but I just love it and I always love a fresh breath! Wow, I'm so weird!
12:00pm- 1:45 pm: Brush Hair:
Haha what a fun task. I recently bought a new hairbrush so that makes the job slightly easier haha. But my hair is so dead and damaged and long and I'm hopefully getting it cut in end of August- September time or maybe October. Such a long time away and I'm in desperate need of a cut but, I'll try to be as patient as possible.
12:15pm- 2pm: Get Dressed
Depending on the day and what I'm doing I will be wearing different outfits but the average outfit that I will wear are a pair of denim shorts, a t-shirt and flip flops because of how hot it is where I live.
12:20pm- 2:05pm: Pack My Bag:
I always bring a bag out with me wherever I go and what I will always bring with me are; A battery pack, wallet, phone & headphones, hair ties and a water bottle.
12:25pm- 2:10pm: Out The Door:
After all that, these are the time ranges I'll probably be out the door by and I will be off going where ever I will be going that day!
11am-1pm: Wake up:
Yes I know, extremely late but, I do go to bed much later (like 3am) because it's Summer and I can get into what ever schedule I want especially since I will most likely stay at home and be doing nothing all day so I may as well do what I like when I like.
