I Recently Learned About The Arab Spring Too! Very Interesting Stuff!! Beautiful Notes Too

life update. 10.15.17.

hi, i’m sorry. i really haven’t been active lately and i really have no excuse. my main issue with having a studyblr is that i feel compelled to have very aesthetically pleasing notes/supplies/etc. and it slows down my studies by having me work 3hrs on two pages of notes just so it looks pretty. so instead i’ve simply been typing out a lot of my work and such. i don’t have an aesthetically pleasing study routine and i’m a bad procrastinater. these are things i am working on and yeah. it’s my junior year, i am 16 years old, and i have a lot to catch up on. i’ve recently joined a lot of clubs and plan to join more. i am now officially treasurer of the creative writing club at my school and i am also the historian of la raza unida. i am taking only one ap class this year and my grades are alright.

i am taking seven classes, i have two b’s, one c. the rest are different forms of a’s but a’s nonetheless. my goal for this semester is to end with all a’s. i have to study for the ACT and SAT. 

in short.

it will be a very busy year for me and my inactivity will continue until i learn how to balance managing a blog, extracurricular activities, and who knows, maybe one day i’ll be able to afford the pretty supplies people have and take pretty notes.

as of now, my studies, like myself, are messy.

Don’t worry about mistakes.

Make them in to something. I used to get mad and scrap every piece of paper until I was too frustrated to continue. Don’t do that. Make it in to art! Mistakes are a part of life, and you can turn them into something beautiful.

Donald Trump pledges to sign anti-LGBTQ 'First Amendment Defense Act'

The law would make anti-LGBTQ discrimination legal among employers, businesses, landlords and healthcare providers on the basis of a religious belief.

Donald Trump has been courting the LGBTQ vote throughout this presidential election, claiming he would be the better choice for the community than opponent Hillary Clinton and promising to protect us from terrorism in his Republican National Convention speech. That argument gets harder to believe by the week, as he gives speeches at anti-LGBTQ events, sticks up for homophobic and transphobic legislation and surrounds himself with bigoted politicians and advisers. Now we have a new offense to add to the list.

Trump has pledged to sign the First Amendment Defense Act (FADA), if passed by congress. It was first introduced in the House on June 17, 2015 and would effectively legalize anti-LGBTQ discrimination across the board, including among employers, businesses, landlords and healthcare providers, as long as they claim to be motivated by a firmly held religious beliefs.

It would act to overturn the executive order signed in 2014 by President Obama prohibiting anti-LGBTQ discrimination among federal contractors.

@ everyone who went through a period of having no friends, who ate alone, who had a point in their life where they were too embarrassed to tell their parents they had no one to play with after school: I love you. I know it hurts and I know it’s hard but it’s not your fault. Things will grow and change. You will find people who you click with and they will love you too. You deserve positive friendship relationships just like anyone else. And if you’re still going through this phase, you’re strong, and things will change for you too. You are not alone, there are people experiencing the same thing you are, find them, you deserve positivity and companionship. Keep your head up.

I hope that next year, you will motivate someone to start chasing their goals. next year, you will be admired for your kind nature and intelligent mind. next year, you will be praised by those you love and respect. next year, you will achieve your goals and prove them wrong. and that at this time next year, you’ll be sorry to see 2017 go, but will look forward to your future with a warm smile.

So I guess this is my first bujo post! I was inspired by @bluelahe monthly logs and I really like how it turned out even if I messed up a little!
