National Honor Society Inductions!

by

On May 22nd I had the honor of inducting a new member into my chapter of the National Honor Society. An NHS induction is pretty cool because everyone gets to dress up really nice and get recognized one by one on stage. The whole thing makes you feel very impotant and superior (until you go back to school the next day and feel terribly ordinary again). The whole thing takes about an hour, and the current members and new members have to show up an hour before to practice the whole thing. After I had done my part in the practice run through my friend and I (like the truely superior and scholarly human beings we have come to be through the many trials and tribulations of high school) went into the lobby of the auditorium to steal cookies. If we’re being honest that was my third favorite part of the whole production.

My second favorite part was that you have to be super dressed up and beautiful (or hansome). So I got to wear my favorite black dress and my favorite pair of black wedges (they’re totally my moms shoes… not mine). Plus our induction fell on world goth day so I felt my completely black ensemble was more than apropo.

Lastly my most favorite thing about NHS induction is that you can pick whoever you want to induct! The person I wanted t induct was taken… So I went with Grace! This was up there in the top ten best decisions I’ve made in my 18 years. Why? Well because after Grace’s name was called and we went on stage and I said the infamous induction line and gave her my stole Grace leans over and whispers in my ear on stage, “We had our own Pearl Harbor here today Ashley Katchadourian.” (Which you wont understand unless you watch The Most Popular Girls in School so look it up on YouTube) I lost it on stage and Grace forgot to hug me so we successfully created the most awkward induction pair possible.

This is Grace:

And afterwards I ate a legal cookie and had some punch. Basically it was stellar.

Well Lets Talk About It…

by

Okay lets cut to the chase. I haven’t been very… Nealie lately. It’s terrible and trust me I don’t like it either. I didn’t even notice you could tell on my site until I was in class and someone mentioned to me that my blog had less and less content and more and more pictures. I could lie and say I’ve been busy. Honestly, I have been busy. However, I’ve been busy with tons of fun stuff that I should definitely be blogging about! Heck, just this year I went to Las Vegas and had my last tennis tournament. This weekend I’ll be in Cali, I’m nine days away from graduating, and I’m even headed to New York next month! That’s all stuff worth blogging about yet I just don’t feel like it. That’s because the truth is I’ve had a lot going on for the past couple months. Without getting into the nasty details I had a terrible break up followed by a mediocre make up. Said make up was not something approved of by my family so that led to issues and another terrible break up. At this point I decided we could all talk about it here in my little world because I’m feeling a lot better. I didn’t realize how many friends I’d missed out on hanging out with! I’d even been ditching my family. So I’m pretty sure this blog is just a formal apology to everyone for sucking at everything for about a year. I was really self centered. So a special I love you to Gabie, my baby sister, my dad, and my momma because I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t have y’all to deal with me being a teenager.

 

ON A POSITIVE NOTE THOUGH:

I hope you’re all ready for a series of very cool blog posts now that I’ve got my life together. I’ve been taking plenty of pictures and making sure to absorb every moment to regurgitate right here on NBN starting tonight!

 

XOXO,

Prom 2014 (Got 99 Promblems… Nah, Just One.)

by

Hey so it’s prom day!
It’s my senior prom (prom #3 for me) and I’m pretty excited to look like I’m not homeless for a solid 12 hours (yay me).

Anyway as usual life is life and I bought a white dress. So. It’s see-through-ish (I just invented my own hyphenated word, score). The sob story is I had nary a pair of underwear that couldn’t be seen through the dress.

Now I look really homeless and I’m at target buying underwear.

Wish me luck on not looking this exact way at prom.

XOXO

P.S. The target lady commented on my purchase awkwardly. Thank you human being for being as awk as I am.

Insert Appropriate Title Here!

So I while I was at work on Saturday this man came up to me and asked me what I was doing with the rest of my life. Okay. Big question coming from a stranger… I told him I was going into journalism with a minor in business at my first choice school. Shortly after all that jazz I was going to be an editor.

This guy literally laughed in my face and told me I would never make a living unless I did something with math. Naturally I was really hurt that someone had laughed at my life plan. After 18 years of trying different things, deciding what I would be good at, and then finally deciding on the one thing I could picture myself doing for the rest of my life… A complete stranger laughed in my face about it?

Due to the fact that I’m too sassy for my own good I said, “Sir all due respect, I’d rather live the rest of my life happy and penniless than have any sort of math based career. You can’t discredit all the creative jobs because we wouldn’t even be in this store right now without them.”

I haven’t quit thinking about that since.
