Friday August 30th

My main extra curricular activity related to school is debate and forensics. These activities are super nerdy and filled to the brim with nerds but they're FUN. They're really competitive and require a lot of both individual and team work and you also get to dress like a business person so it's all pretty great. I'm also  in various national honors societies and am an officer for the National Forensics League and National History Honors Society. This is enjoyable because I like bossing people around.
Outside of school I watch a ridiculous amount of TV and movies, mostly through Netflix but I also have HBO so the options are endless. My favorite movies are those directed by Quentin Tarantino, and my top three Tarantino movies are Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, and Pulp Fiction. Movies written by Martin McDonagh are also AMAAAHZING. So far he's created the movies In Bruges and and Seven Psychopaths, but he was a playwright first so that is also some quality reading material. It seems that all of my favorite films share the general trend of being really dark comedies.
I also like reading as well though I'd like to be better at making time for it. One of the authors I read the most of is Chuck Palahniuk who is most famous for Fight Club. Other books I really like are The Bell Jar, A Clockwork Orange, and books by Jeffrey Eugenides. For the most part these books are also really dark because apparently I'm a creep? I wasn't aware of this.
I also write sometimes but I've had major writer's block for a while. College applications have been sucking out all of my creative power for the time being.
But what I mostly do in my free time is hang out with my pals. I have  a group of friends that I'm really close; they're very odd people but I love them to death. We like gossiping and watching Friends and going to the mall and eating everything.
