High School is rarely ever an easy experience. You are constantly trying to fit in while also trying to figure yourself out. Ladywood High School is an experience all on its own. I attended the all girl, Catholic high school for all four years of my high school career. Ladywood will give you some of the best and worst memories of you life. It can be a really fun experience and it can also be downright awful at times. The following list is a few tips to help you make your time at Ladywood more enjoyable than not. These rules are meant to be fun, but they also have a lot of truth to them. Though all of the ups and downs I am proud to be a Blazer and I am happy to share some words of advice for past, current, and future Blazers!


 * How to Survive Being a Ladywood Student **
 * 1) Never wear make-up. There is no one to impress. Don't waste your time.
 * 2) Nuns are always right, even when they are wrong (which is most of the time). Just do what you're told until they go away.
 * 3) Always wear shorts under your skirt. No one wants an unexpected mooning.
 * 4) Your bra is the best place to hide your cell phone, just make sure it's on silent.
 * 5) The messy bun is the best hairstyle.
 * 6) Don't be afraid to eat and eat a lot, especially at Taste Fest.
 * 7) Stay away from other girl's boyfriends. Unnecessary drama.
 * 8) Male teachers are not on the menu.
 * 9) Wash your skirt at least once a week and if possible own at least two.
 * 10) Take a shower AT LEAST once a week. Even if you're not trying to impress anyone, hygiene is good.
 * 11) The friends you make will become your sisters. Remember that. They will always be there for you.
 * 12) Pep rallies are dumb, but they are an excuse to get out of class just go with them.
 * 13) Homeroom will be the biggest waste of time, but again, just go with it.
 * 14) Don't bother bringing a date to opening dance, or even Homecoming. It's just a waste of money. You'll end up ditching him to hang out with your friends.
 * 15) The Auction is the biggest fundraiser and the Nuns are obsessed with it. Always donate and suck up whenever they are around.

Have you ever been a fan of something? Something that you love more than just about anything? Well for me that is the musical artist Josh Groban. I have been a fan of Josh Groban for that almost ten years. I own all his CDs, Concert DVDs, and countless other forms of merchandise. I have been to three of her concerts, which out of four tours is not too shabby. I was also granted the incredible, life changing experience of meeting him before one of his concerts last July. If you know me there is a very good chance that any time you hear the name "Josh Groban" you will most likely think of me. However, Josh Groban is exactly a household name yet, so a lot of people don't understand my love for him. This is a list to help the Josh Groban fans, or Grobanites as they are affectionately referred to. It is not always to be a fan of something but having the support and love of other fans always help.


 * How to Survive Being a Grobanite **
 * 1) Not everyone will believe Josh Groban is the best musical artist. Don't fight with them. You know you're right and that's all that matters.
 * 2) You will spend an arm and a leg on his concert tickets, just accept being broke for the best night of your life.
 * 3) Join FOJO. You will be updated on new music, and news before anyone else.
 * 4) Spend the extra $20 to upgrade your membership. You just might win the chance to meet him. I did. :)
 * 5) He will take at least 3 yrs to come out with a new CD. It will feel like forever, but it is ALWAYS worth it.
 * 6) You will constantly run into people who don't know who he is. That's okay, teach them.
 * 7) Follow him on Twitter and "Like" him on Facebook to get free updates.
 * 8) You don't have to know French, Latin, Spanish, Italian, or any other language to enjoy his music.
 * 9) You will more than likely be made fun of, just shrug it off. He's worth it.
 * 10) Once you start listening to his music, you will get hooked (and obsessed).
