4, 5, and 6 A little late :/

Topic 4:
Sports! I personally love sports. I think they are a fun way to exercise and socialize with other people. Sure sports aren't for some people, which is okay, but when you play sports you're with people who have that in common with you. That goes for any school activity that you like to do. I also like watching sports, like football games, basketball games, and well, anything! I also like the Olympics, but only some events. I personally like the summer Olympics better than the winter, but both are good. It's fun to watch people who are amazing at what they do. Personally I love volleyball, but I like playing many other sports such as soccer, football, and basketball, even though I'm the worst basketball player ever. Either way, sports are fun competitively and non competitively.

Topic 6:
Groups and cliques. I don't really think our high school is that bad with this. Of course we have some groups, but I think everyone talks to who they want to talk to. Or at least I do. I'm not really a fan of all the clique drama and stuff and I don't get involved with any of that, but to me it's a part of high school and something that will make you appreciate college a lot more. Honestly I don't think that because you don't necessarily hangout with someone outside of your school that you can't be friends with them. That's how I look at it. I think that if people have certain cliques and groups and have that whole "I'm better than everyone but my friends" attitude, then they are judging people for no reason. Of course that's going to happen at this age, but not with me, I know that for sure. The way I look at it is that everyone is on good terms with me until you do something to really hurt my feelings or i guess hurt me in general. haha.

Topic 5:
Music. I love music, and I think that music is probably one of the best things on this planet! I find it amazing that music can alter your mood, and connect with people. Sometimes I try to think what the world would be like without it. EVERYTHING would be altered. Commercials, no radio, No ipods or stereos, any of that. I can't imagine anything without music. Music is so important. I heard someone say one time that music is like their meth which is ironic because meth releases the chemical in your brain that you get when you listen to a song you really like and feel like you have to repeat it... But that's kind of off topic, so I'll just continue. I think that I appreciate different things in different styles of music and I love that music is so diverse and can be anything you want it to be. I find if funny looking back at music and seeing how much it's changed and I wonder how it will be generations from now. I wonder what crazy music I'll tell my kids to turn off because I can't stand. It's kind of exciting to look forward to.
