OOH OOOOh AH Ah

 Coffee is constantly running through my family’s blood. Even growing up- me, my sister Gabrielle, and my cousin Sarah would get babysat at my grandma’s and she would serve us coffee with a bunch of milk in it. But you see, I’m built different. I was born with more energy than a goddamn power plant. I never enjoyed the taste or feeling of caffeine. Of course today I use caffeine in my hectic schedule: school, run, lifetime, work, homework. In the beginning of the year I would take a light caffeine pre-workout, but by the time I got to work I felt like I was going to bite the customers. I heard the caffeine in my voice. Scary. Since I have been off the nasty shit, I’ve been straight chillin except for this last wednesday. It was the hottest day yet of 2021 and I went for a 10 mile run. I’m talking salty sweat in my eyes, and stinging blood running down my legs from chafing. And to think it gets worse… I head to the gym where I hit shoulders, chest, and biceps. A dear classmate of mine Trevor gives me Gorilla Mode pre workout. After drinking it I feel invincible, ready to punch anything in my way. I hit the bench and BOOM. Eyes fade, starting to go black, and the fugly loser juniors that clearly know I go to Troy High watch me at the bench to my left. And some man runs over to me and saves me from the bar ready to fall over on me while my eyes roll to the back of my head. Nothing is like more defeat than a girl needing a male savior… I of course get off and work on some lighter weight stuff like I am unfazed but the shaking was getting out of control so I left. Just my luck, I rode my bike and I was blessed with a flat tire on my way home. I firmly believe this day was cursed due to caffeine and on my mama I am never taking that shit again.

25 Dollars

  Last Thursday Trevor came into my work place, “Detroit Wing Company” at around eight pm. In our chatter, our favorite class “12 AP English” was brought up. Mostly we conversed on Nav’s stupid beanie (just kidding). We actually talked about who would win the debate, negative or affirmative. We of course rooted for our home teams and made a 25 dollar bet one who would win. In this blog post, I am writing about what I would do with that gorgeous amount of cash. First of all, I would make it very clear that I won. I would take a video of him handing me the money with me laughing in the background. Then, I would take some selfies with the money via snapchat and send them his way. After that gets old, I will put the 25 dollars in my tip jar. Hopefully at the end of the month I will deposit the whole jar to my bank account. One day when me and the gals want to grab a nice bite I will go get Thai food or Indian (TBD) and I will spend about 15 on the meal leaving at three dollar tip. “Viv...

PLEASE DON'T READ THIS! NOT MY BEST WORK

  Vivienne François Mrs. Knudson 12 AP English 13 October 2020 Lyric Essay: Complex Characters In human nature, people tend to feel more purposeful when they find that someone that can make them say “same,” a song you scream that’s a “mood,” or that book that makes you finally unlock a deep self realization. In both “Oedipus the King” and “Saving Sourdi” authors compose complex characters to prove no one stands alone in our relatable universe and to emphasize the theme that truth can be fatal in many ways given character emotion.  “Saving Sourdi” author May-Lee Chai had me at “Sometimes we locked ourselves in the bathroom” (Chai paragraph 21). Similar to the complex character Nea , my older sister and I would lock ourselves in bathrooms, and call the times we shared in their “girl parties.” Chai established the archetype of the “mother older sister.” The sister that falls in the footsteps of a strong mother figure who the younger sister strives to keep their head above water t...

Q

            My sister is a sophomore in college and she’s absolutely thriving. She never really enjoyed high school, and she was the quiet, unproblematic type with the close friends from elementary school. There was never a specific instance or reason to hate Troy High for her. I’ve actually had good times, and sometimes I get scared if I’m currently peaking because of her.  I think a big part of her happiness from college is having new friends, a downtown area, and a boyfriend. Boyfriend. I don't really have trust issues but I heavily don’t mess with this mofo… There’s some off juju about him and I have no evidence to present a solid motive to dislike the dude. I always bring him up because she is too shy to say anything but I will just be spacing out during a conversation and be like why did I even ask. He’s also not ugly, but I just don’t like his face, if that makes sense. And the worst of it all is his name is Quinton, not that it matters, bu...
