High school and it's social food chain

High school; it seems like a great time. Especially in the movies. Highschool Musical gives a perfect view of what Highschool is really like. Everyone gets along, flashmobs happen randomly, life is perfect. You never want to leave, Right? Wrong. Now don't get me wrong, I love my friends and (some of) my classes, but it can suck at times. Especially if you're a freshman. The freshman class is at the bottom of the totem pole. Nobody really cares about the freshman sports teams, you aren't able to do certain things, nobody likes you. Some teachers will refuse to teach freshman. Why? Because they're the youngest. They smell and don't know how things work. I am a freshman. Although, I'd like to believe that I don't smell. But who knows.
I would say pep rallies are the worst. Freshman always lose at everything in pep rallies. Doesn't matter what happens, the seniors will most likely win. They could do absolutely nothing and they could probably win. I once heard of some seniors complaining that they had to sit next to the freshman during a pep rally. But you know what, that's fine. They where freshman once too and we'll one day be seniors, complaining about the freshman.
I can't really give any advice to upcoming freshman; I'm only halfway through Freshman year. But you know that next July that I'll be giving advise, But if you are going to be a freshman in high school next year, all I can say for now is don't overthink everything. That first year, you can basically reshape your entire appearance. I did this. I started going by Eli instead of Elizabeth and I cut my hair super short, something I was terrified of doing in Middle school.
But hey, don't let me scare you. People start to respect you more in everyday life. Lots of people stop treating you like a kid, so that's an upside.

Art Supplies

As an artist, there are several different types of tools I use. Yes some of them can be expensive, but there are some cheaper alternatives. For example, I use Finecolour, TouchFive, and Prismacolor as alternatives to Copic alcohol based markers. There is a difference, but for beginning artists or artists with little money (like myself) they work fine. So here are some of the things I use in most of my drawings. If you couldn't tell, I use alcohol based markers. They can make traditional art look almost digital. Except for when the fine line decides it wants to bleed and ruin your freaking drawing. But it's just the type of fine lines I'm using. I know Copic makes fine liners and I'm sure there are other types of alcohol-based fine liners that won't make your pictures, that you spend hours on, bleed. There are other things that I use as well as markers. Gellpens, colored pencils, and washi tape are some other things that I use in drawings. Th...

Pets

Growing up, I have always had at least one pet in my life. Dogs and goldfish to be specific.I'd love to have a cat, but my mother is allergic to cats so we just have a bunch of dogs. In my life, I have had five dogs. Not sure how many goldfish. They don't live very long and we never gave them names because they all looked the same. Although, I can remember all the dogs I have had. The first being a dog named Koda. Named after the small bear from Brother Bear. I don't remember much of that dog, it ran away before I was old enough to remember. But the next dog we got I still have to this day. Her name is Isis (Iceis). Named after the Egyptian goddess. She is a black and white pitbull and I love her so much. She just turned 11 last July.  The next dog we didn't get until just 5 years ago. Ella is a pomeranian chihuahua that we kind of adopted. See, Ella was my great grandmother's dog and when we moved in with her, we became the ones to care for her. My grandfather...
