Hello world!
So, some of you have probably watched or seen those "relate" videos. I've watched a few that are based on school, like "the first day of school" or "embarrassing moments at school". And to be honest, I've rarely, if not never been in any kind of situation like the video mentions, so I can't relate to it most of the time which is too bad. The videos are fun to watch and they're funny, it's only that little piece of me not being able to relate that bothers me. But, I thought it'd be fun to make something of the sort on this blog! I'll be sharing the situations I've been through at school, in hopes that someone out there can relate to these!! I hope I'm not the only one here.
I'll start with this one. In class, we raise our hands if we want to participate. Sometimes when I have my hand up, it'll actually take a while for me to actually register exactly what I want to say, and then when the teacher actually calls on me, I kind of just freeze up there, forgetting everything I was about to say, and what I was going to say sounded extremely smart and deep! That frustrates me so much! Then I have to quickly improvise the whole thing, and it doesn't sound as good as the one I originally thought of. Plus, it takes longer to explain because you're still improvising and trying to prove your point AND it sometimes bores the class! Is that just me? Please don't let it be just me.
Another one related to class participation... When I raise my hand to call out an answer, the teacher looks in my direction and only, ONLY, says "yes" so obviously you think they acknowledged you, so when you start speaking, the person behind you starts talking too. Then you have a stuttering session, signalling to each other whether you should let the other person go before you. What's also awkward is when your teacher says "oh I called on (insert name)" so either you have to repeat your whole answer and/or explanation, or you gotta shut up for the other person... Yeah.
The hallway dance... oh dear. Don't even get me started on that! It's enough that the hallways are always crowded and students are trying to rush to class, but when you and someone else accidentally stand in each other's way, for some inexplicable reason, you both go in the same direction, therefore blocking each other's way again. I seriously don't understand how you and that person can have that much synchronization, but it magically happens. This "hallway dance" is so common, I honestly don't know how we keep doing it!
One awkward situation I've been in a few times is when one of my friends is friends with someone I don't really hang out with, or talk to. When they have a little chat in the hallway or anywhere really, I'll kind of just be there, not really adding anything to the conversation and instead, I'm probably doing something awkward like adjusting my binders and books, smile and laugh at anything funny, just for the sake of it!
I am always on time for class. However, there will be times when I have to be late, most of the time to help out teachers or other students. So here's a story: at my school, there's a special program called ACCESS, which is a class for students with mental and/or physical disabilities. I've been helping out with ACCESS since I attended this junior high, so I'm happy that I get to hang out with the class again for the last time, because this year is my last year at this school! Anyways, so a while ago, I helped the class take out all of the classes' recycling and bottle bins. And so we were on our last classroom when the bell rang. I had an option class, but because that didn't really matter to me, I decided to finish up the papers and juice bottles with my buddy. I wound up being about 5-8 minutes late to class, and when I went in, the whole class turned around and looked at me. Some went back to the teacher, who was pretty cool and let me slide in without questioning me, while some just kept staring at me until I reached a desk! So the whole point of this story: an awkward moment is when you're late to class and then everyone just stares at you!
This post is getting a little long, so I will stop here. This was only a few uncomfortable situations that occur during school, so there's a chance I'll write another one of these! Until next time friends!
Keep Smiling,

My Music Playlist #6
Hello everybody!
This post will be my sixth music playlist! I've been listening to these songs a lot lately, and I really like them so much! I can't stop replaying them!!
I have been listening to EXO a lot lately. EXO is a really popular boy group that sings in Korean and in Mandarin, if you haven't heard of them. I've been listening to them for a long time now, but it was only these past several months that I have been playing them nonstop! Their songs are so catchy like, wow! I love their newest album!! So the original album is Exodus, but they have this second repackage where they added like, four more songs to the album. There is not one song I don't like from the second repackage, and I could not choose which songs to write about because I love them all.
So originally, I was going to use the link I used to listen to their newest album, however that video didn't work because of its copyright problems. But then that video is viewable now, but because I already changed this whole post up, I'll just leave this as is, but still leave that video link. I'll also write about my absolute favourite songs from the album, even though there are several of them haha.
Love Me Right Repackage
1. Call Me Baby - EXO: I love this song so much! I first listened to Call Me Baby when it first came out because my friend had it on her phone. We played it during our lunch break and I was immediately hooked! I am definitely not tired of listening to it. Here is the link to their music video, because I think it's worth watching. Prepared to be blown away by their dancing.
EXO - Call Me Baby
Aaaaand, I just love the actual music in the song in general, without the lyrics! It sounds so cool, so I wanted to leave a link to the instrumental version of it.
Call Me Baby Instrumental
2. Beautiful - EXO: I like this song because it's a ballad and the tempo is slower. I love the beginning of the song and the chorus. The beginning sounds so... majestic haha. Don't know how else to describe it. I like this song when I just want to lie down and do nothing. It's super relaxing to listen to, to be honest. And I don't think it's a song you get tired of, or maybe it's just me ^-^.
EXO - Beautiful
3. Love Me Right - EXO: The melody of this song is like, whoooooa. It's a song I always find myself humming along to! I love the "na na na"! I love the rapping in here! And seriously, you could easily dance to this song. It has such a funky tune! I have nothing else to say except LISTEN TO IT.
EXO - Love Me Right
4. El Dorado - EXO: I love love love the beginning of the song, before the singing starts! The song has such a unique tune. To be honest, I didn't like the song at all at first, especially the lyrics ("Find the El Dorado"? Eh). But then I played it a couple times, and then it kinda grew on me. And again, I really love the rapping!
EXO - El Dorado
5. EXODUS - EXO: To be honest, I don't understand the meaning of this song, even when I read the translations! But I still love it! The melody, the beat, everythin'. They got me hooked right from the beginning! I can easily hum along to this song because it's so catchy. Check it out! And even if you don't understand anything at all, just enjoy the melody.
EXO - Exodus
6. Transformer - EXO: This song is so... man, I don't know how to explain it! At first I didn't feel the song until I listened to it a couple more times and then I couldn't help but enjoy listening to it. I don't know what it is about it, but I find it so catchy and ugh it's so indescribable! I know for sure that this won't be some people's cup of tea, but for me I find it super awesome.
EXO - Transformer
7. My Answer - EXO: This is another slow ballad. I especially love the chorus. I always sway to this song, no joke. At first, it might seem like the song has no... "uumph" to it, but then it slowly builds up which I love. What I also like about this song is that there's only piano playing in the background so in my point of view I think it makes the song even more lovable. It's easy to focus on the singing. Ah just listen to it.
EXO - My Answer
8. First Love - EXO: I'm not so crazy about the chorus, but the rest of the song is on point! I love- LOVE- the rapping in here, it's so groovy!! The whole song is groovy in general. I'm also loving the bridge of the song, it sounds really awesome. At the end of the song, it seems like they're saying "ow" which I find funny, so if you hear it don't so surprised. The song is awesome though haha.
EXO - First Love
9. Hurt - EXO: The beginning of this song seriously reminds me of like, a circus or carnival of some sort, which I find so funny! But the rhythm and the melody is to die for. I love the chorus!! When you listen to it, you'll see, you'll dance to the song. Well, if you like the song. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but give it a try.
EXO - Hurt
10. Promise - EXO: This is definitely one of my top favourites. This is a song that I know the group wrote for their fans. It has such a nice melody. I also find myself humming to this song. And once again, the rapping never fails to blow me away!! But the verses, chorus and bridge, perfect! I will also include the instrumental version of the song because it's super sick as well. I wanted one without all of the background vocals, and this was the only one I could find without it, but this version is pitched so it won't sound the same as the actual song so beware.!
EXO - Promise
Promise Instrumental
11. Fight Song - Rachel Platten: I first heard this song on the radio. At first I didn't like it, but then I kept hearing it, and eventually, well, I really enjoyed listening to it! I think this is a very motivational song to listen to. It has a good message too! I also like the fact that I always have the urge to sing along! I love songs that I want to sing along with!!
Rachel Platten - Fight Song
12. Locked Away - R. City feat. Adam Levine: I first heard this song on the radio and immediately fell in love with the song! I made sure to memorize at least one line in the song so that when I got back home, I would start listening to the song. I love the melody of the chorus!! The melody is not too slow, but also not too fast-paced. Check it out!!
R. City ft. Adam Levine - Locked Away
13. StudyMusicProject - This is a YouTube channel that has loads of playlists of study music. To be honest, there are some songs that sound more sad than anything, but it still has a nice soothing melody. Here are my favourites playlists.
