I've always wondered though, why other organizations don't develop a similar fundraiser. Those over-priced cookies probably raise a large amount of money for the organization (although I think some of it goes towards Gold Award projects), so why haven't at least boy scouts followed? Just develop some kind of delicious branded treat, and sell when the girl scouts aren't selling.
As the picture above shows, it's girl scout cookie season! The time of year where you eat much more cookies than you usually do! This is also the time of year where girl scouts wish they lifted weights more, because believe it or not, girl scout cookies actually have mass before they go into your body and become fat. Shocking.

It's been quite a while since I made a post! What happened during this long gap? Nothing much really. Except I watched Frozen. So I guess everything. But you know the best part about a great movie? What comes from the fans afterwards.
I have realized this before, but I never actually wanted to acknowldege it. There will be people who let you down, push you down, and kick you while you're still on the ground. There will be people who bully you and make you feel absolutely worthless. They will make you feel as though your life is pointless and that you have no reason to live. Worst of all, these people can be the very people you are closest to. I want to let you all know that what they say and think about you is not true; what they do to you is only to hide the pain they themselvves are feeling. This may seem impossible, but don't let it affect you. Stay true to who you are and always remember that there is good in you and you matter to someone in this world. No matter what they say or what they do, stand strong. -Post by Kathleen

Funny how I've just described the average teenager's high school career, stereotypically speaking of course. But did you notice that this was all Frankenstein wanted too? I tend to watch videos on YouTube a lot, and my favorite channel without question is Jubilee Project. The purpose of this channel is spread awareness of different types of illnesses and disabilities. In this video, a guy is trying to talk to a girl he thinks is cute, but she won't talk to him and so he decides to use a different approach in talking to her. At the end of the video he learns of the reason why she wouldn't talk to him. While watching this video, I was thinking about how similar this is to children. If they want something, they most likely will not give up until they get it. That isn't the only thing that is similar though. Children tend to be more accepting than people who are older than them. They see the world through a more innocent standpoint, and because of this do not discriminate others because of one little thing that makes them different from everyone else. -Post by Kathleen
I was watching a YouTube video earlier, and it got me thinking about how much parents are willing to sacrafice for their children even if they are not appreciated at all. This video is about a single father raising a son, and it is based off of the Bible story "The Prodigal Son." I don't want to give any spoilers so I won't say more about the video but I will post it below. As children we like to believe that our parents will always be there for us and will always love us, but as we grow older, we begin to distance ourselves from them. We think that we can handle ourselves, and that they are wasting their time worrying about us. The truth of the matter is that they only worry because they care and they love us so much they are willing to sacrafice everything they have to see us succeed in life. Why is it so hard for us to appreciate that? And when we finally realize it, it seems as though it is too late. -Post by Kathleen
