High school during lunch

A high school experience told through mozzarella sticks.

High school during lunch


Yay, I'm so excited!! My first lunch period in High school. I heard great things about it. I also heard they give large portions, and it's hard to eat them. But my parents said this school has the best lunch, so I went along with what they said. Before going to the cafeteria, I watched many YouTube videos on how to eat effectively and calmly. Some things I learned is that you can't eat it straight away. You got to divide the time and can't procrastinate in eating it since we have limited time.



The lunch lady gave me my lunch tray with four big mozzarella sticks, some fruits, some dessert, and some green vegetables, which I hated. I couldn't believe the size of them. In other schools, they are medium size, but these are BIG. They were filled with lots of materials( double layers of bread with a golden top and inside was (from what I have heard) filled in with hot white cheese that melts your mouth. Let's see if I can finish them.

Mozzarella #1: This one was easy and delicious. It didn't have a lot of bread on top. I enjoyed it because I made new friends and quite a while to finish. My friends and I exchanged snacks and helped each other out with anything.

Mozzarella #2: This one was a bit big. And I was getting a bit full. Some of my friends tried to hide it because they are already too lazy to finish it. But the lunch lady caught them and yelled at them. She gave them the whole speech on how this is important for students and you don't eat, you are going to be hungry all the time, and you are going to beg people for a piece of food. I hate this because this is so annoying. They say the same thing over and over again. If I had a penny for how many times they asked me what I'll have for dinner, I'd be rich!! Like how am I supposed to know that? I just started eating my mozzarella stick. Give us a break!!!

Mozzarella #3: Ok, so I know I said before that they were all big, but THIS was big. There were many materials on it, and they gave us a small amount of time to finish it. On top of that, we had to eat that disgusting, wretched blob of vegetables. Apparently, according to the lunch ladies, it's essential to eat it, and it's going to help you during your dinner.

I almost threw away this material. My body was hurting, and my mind was disorganized and stressed out. I cried because it was too much. I was mad that the lunch lady expected us to finish all this in a short amount of time. AND FOR WHAT?!? So parents can see you did food and give you a good dinner. I just can't anymore. I almost gave up until my friends gave me reinforcement. After I was finished, my friends told me that the next one would be a lot easier.

I'm looking forward to that.

Mozzarella #4: This was the most excellent mozzarella stick I ever had. Even better than the first one. The lunch ladies gave us a small amount since they sat how much we ate. Some people got mozzarella-itis. They got lazy and procrastinated on eating it. I kind of got it and didn't care since all the hard work was counted in the first 3. This last one was a piece of cake. (they also gave us a piece of cake). Savored the last and bite and thought about this lunch period and the four sticks I ate. I thank all the lunch lady and friends that helped through the way.

If you don't feel like you can finish your mozzarella stick, don't give up fight hard. Ask for help. Everything will be alright.

The bell rang, and lunchtime was over. Time to go to college and eat excellent stuff : )

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
