Fresh Out of Middle School
As a brand-spanking-new freshman recently thrown into the alternate universe of high school, I've got a lot to say. First of all, someone freaking tell the world that gingers have souls already. Second, yes, I am a leprechaun. Third, no one warns you for what goes on in this jungle we call schooling!

I chose the school I go to now because my brother goes there. It's pretty awesome to have a brother who's a senior because a) he can leave campus and go get me lunch at the various restaurants across the street (including frozen yogurt!) and b) I practically know half the student body already. But he also convinced me to join the cross country team that I love, but unfortunately gave me a stress fracture. So much for working harder. Although, I must say, I find my classes easy, and I'm at a super challenging school. I just have two of the world's coolest teachers on the face of the earth. But somehow, I still feel like a heaping pile of stress has just been dumped on my shoulders. Can't help but feel bad for Atlas. This will hopefully be my save-haven of sorts, apart from acting and baking. Yes, I have an obsession with both. Yes, you will hear about them. In fact, here's the first recipe I'm going to give you! I'll try to include one in every blog.

Nutella Cookies!
Ingredients:
1 cup Nutella
1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
Splash of milk
Mix ingredients together in whatever fashion you wish, roll into balls, place on a cookie sheet a few centimeters apart, and press down with your palm. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 7 minutes, let cool, and stuff or face. Or just eat one. Doesn't matter to me.

But anyway, I just need an escape where everyone on the web can read my thoughts. So I guess that's it for now.

Salutations,
Emma
