Situational Irony in My Life

About 10 months ago I interviewed to come to San Pascual Academy.Just 9 months ago I moved in to girls 2. Before I moved in I promised myself that I would not date anyone and will stay away from drama. That promise broke when I dated a guy who once lived in boys 7. Along with dating him came drama. I was so stressed out and wanted to leave SPA
because this was not what I came here for. Man, was I getting sick of the same thing going on every day. Everyone talking behind everyone's back. Even the closest people who called each other best friends talked about each other. I thought that dating a guy would not be so dramatic, but those around me thought that it should be huge. Lies were told, rumors spread around campus. I finally broke up with him and my life was calm and drama free. Then I dated him again and along came more drama and troubles. I thought this place was going to be great but instead it became my worst nightmare. Then I realized that this place only gets better when you make it better. You can't have a good day unless you tell yourself that you will have a good day.

"Irony & Ambiguity Notes"

“SPA Theme Song”

Hold On lyrics

I know this pain
Why do lock yourself up in these chains?
No one can change your life except for you
Don't ever let anyone step all over you
Just open your heart and your mind
Is it really fair to feel this way inside?

[Chorus:]
Some day somebody's gonna make you want to
Turn around and say goodbye
Until then baby are you going to let them
Hold you down and make you cry
Don't you know?
Don't you know things can change
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can you hold on for one more day
Things'll go your way
Hold on for one more day

You could sustain
Or are you comfortable with the pain?
You've got no one to blame for your unhappiness
You got yourself into your own mess
Lettin' your worries pass you by
Don't you think it's worth your time
To change your mind?

[Chorus]

I know that there is pain
But you hold on for one more day and
Break free the chains
Yeah I know that there is pain
But you hold on for one more day and you
Break free, break from the chains

Some day somebody's gonna make you want to
Turn around and say goodbye
Until then baby are you going to let them
Hold you down and make you cry
Don't you know?
Don't you know things can change
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day yeah
If you hold on

Don't you know things can change
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day,
If you hold on
Can you hold on
Hold on baby
Won't you tell me now
Hold on for one more day 'Cause
It's gonna go your way

Don't you know things can change
Things'll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can't you change it this time

Make up your mind
Hold on
Hold on
Baby hold on


This song called "Hold On" by Wilson Philips is related to SPA by telling me When things get, things can get better by the way you put it. If you want things to become better, you have to let yourself out of those chains and make up your mind. You just have to hold on and don't let people talk bad about you. When you let it bother you it just shows insecurity and it will never stop. It is not worth your time if you think of it. You are not going to let them hold you down and make you cry.There is always going to be pain in life, just don't let them cause your pain. SPA is a place where everyone likes to bring everyone down to make themselves feel good. SPA has a lot of insecure people who just don't know when to stop and let go.
