Favorite food

My favorite food is probably my moms homemade chicken noodle soup. It's so good. We usually have it every few weeks because I beg my mom to make it. The best part is that it only takes about 15 minutes to make. It's the greatest meal ever.
The smell of the broth always fills the whole house and it's delicious. The taste is so fulfilling and every bite tastes better than the last. Even just seeing the soup boil in the big kettle makes my mouth water. Just even hearing it boil and simmer is amazing. Although touching to kind of hurts because it's boiling hot soup.

Story 15

I can relate to the stress of being in front of people and talking or performing. It would usually happen every opening night of a theater performance. Right before I would go on for my first scene, I would get incredibly nervous, so nervous sometimes that I thought my legs were going to give out and I would have to crawl on stage.  The thing that stood out to me the most was that she did something about it. She took medication to try and make things better and it worked, instead of just living her life the way it was. She took the initiative to overcome her mental illness.
I can use this information to tell other people that despite having anxiety or depression or whatever it is, there are ways to overcome it. It doesn't have to take control of your life, because you can stop it, you just need the will to do it. You just have to fight it, and live your own life, and not stay clouded by the illness forever simply because you're too scared or you don't think you can beat it.

Spring break free write

I had a lot of fun over spring break, despite not really doing that much. My friend Donovan and I watched almost all of the 4 seasons of Spartacus on Netflix, and then once we finished it, we didn't really know what to do anymore. We would usually just go outside and throw the frisbee around.
On Friday, a few of us went to the school at 7 in the morning to start a Lord of The Rings marathon. It was actually pretty awesome. We watched it in the auditorium on the big projector screen. We took some of the couches out of the dressing rooms and set them up right in front of the projector. We watched the extended editions of the movies, so we were there pretty much all day.
