Issue #2 OMG LET’S GOOOO!!! π
π Scripture of the Week
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” – Philippians 4:13
Ok sooo this verse is like… a pep talk from God. π₯Ή Literally me when I’m staring at a mountain of homework and I’m like “nah, can’t do it,” and then I remember this verse and I’m like π yes π I π can. Like even if I fail my math quiz, I didn’t actually fail because I tried my best, and that’s the point. Plus it makes me feel like a superhero ngl π¦Έ♀️.
π¬ Quote of the Week
“Be yourself, everyone else is already taken.” – Oscar Wilde
This quote slaps. Like why waste time trying to be someone else when I could just be ME (and me is already fabulous, tyvm π ). Sometimes I scroll on things and I’m like omg everyone looks so perfect and has like 10 million friends, but then I remember like… it’s probably filters and also I have my own vibe. Your vibe attracts your tribe, besties π.
π Birthstone of the Month & Cool Fact
August = Peridot π
It’s super shiny and green, like a fairy gem.
Ancient Egyptians legit called it the “gem of the sun.” ☀️
Fun fact: Some peridot actually comes from meteorites. Like, actual SPACE ROCKS. So if you have peridot jewelry you can basically say you’re wearing an alien treasure πΈ✨.
π Top 5 Meals of the Week (aka what I actually eat lol)
Pizza Bagels – they’re tiny pizzas but also bagels?? Literal best combo invented by mankind.
Ramen noodles – like, do not come at me, but I add a WHOLE second seasoning packet sometimes because the flavor needs to be dramatic π€.
Dino Nuggets – if you don’t eat them in order of species (T-Rex first obviously), you’re doing it wrong. π¦
Quesadillas – extra cheese, maybe dip in salsa if you’re feeling ✨spicy✨.
Mac & Cheese – but ONLY the Spongebob shapes because they somehow taste better?? Like science can’t explain it but it’s true.
Bonus: I made the best fried rice this week and I inhaled it in like 3.2 seconds so honorable mention goes there.
π¨ Craft of the Week
DIY Beaded Friendship Bracelets
Okay listen… once you start, you literally cannot stop. I made like 15 in one night and now I look like I robbed a bead store. You can spell out inside jokes like “LOL” or “slay” or just do random patterns. Plus if you go to concerts, everyone trades them and it’s like the cutest thing ever π₯Ί. I swear, friendship bracelets are basically a love language.
Tips:
Use stretchy string so you don’t accidentally snap it while tying.
Mix big beads + tiny beads for ✨aesthetic chaos✨.
Bonus points if you give them to your friends and they actually wear them π. ( No one I gave them too wore them… π Good Luck to all of y’all who tried!π)
π Top 5 Life Tips of the Week
Always carry lip balm. If your lips are dry, you literally can’t focus on anything else.
Drink water. I know soda tastes better but like your skin will THANK you. Plus water bottle clanks are a whole personality.
Don’t send the angry text. Just put your phone down, scream into a pillow, and then write in Notes app like it’s your diary.
Hype yourself up. Like actually say “omg I’m so pretty today” in the mirror because if you don’t, who will? π
Wear sunscreen. Even on cloudy days. Even in winter. Do you wanna look like a tomato?? No?Thought so.
Cool Story Happening in Meridian, Idaho
GUYS. So in Meridian, Idaho (which is actually kinda popping off rn π), they’re doing this massive waterpark expansion at Roaring Springs. Like new slides, wave pools, lazy rivers, EVERYTHING. Imagine running around in your swimsuit with churro sugar all over your fingers and screaming down slides with your friends—literally the dream. I’m convinced waterparks are just ✨summer paradise✨. We kids are lucky. <3
π Book Review of the Week
“Keeper of the Lost Cities” by Shannon Messenger
Okay so picture this: A girl named Sophie finds out she’s not even human (same lol). She’s like half-elf or whatever and she gets whisked away to this magical world full of sparkly people with crazy powers. And like of course there’s drama and secret crushes and evil people plotting stuff. It’s kinda like if Harry Potter and Percy Jackson had a sparkly baby with extra sass.
My review:
Sophie = relatable awkward girl queen π
Fitz = hot but also complicated π( I may or may not have a crush on him!….)
Keefe = literally the funniest character ever, I stan.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 9.5/10 (only not 10 because I wanted more romance lol).
π Holiday/Thing Happening This Month
Back to School Season (crying rn π)
Tips for surviving:
Get cute pens & highlighters. Your notes will look like Pinterest even if you don’t understand the math.
Lay out outfits the night before. Future you will thank you when you’re half-asleep in the morning.
Snacks in your bag = lifesaver. Nothing worse than hunger in 3rd period.
Talk to new people! Even if it’s just “I like your shoes,” boom, new friend potential unlocked.
Stay positive. Like yeah school can be boring but also it’s where your funniest memories happen.
