Inspiration- People

People inspire me all the time.  Miley Cyrus inspires me (because she is the perfect human being), my family inspires me, great presidents and athletes inspire me, but most of all I am inspired by the people with whom I spend the majority of my day...my friends.  I pride myself on being a very self-aware person.  I am self-aware that as a teenager my priorities are probably not in the correct order (friends, gossip girl, boys, food, sports, family...........school), but I like that order for now so why not focus on that instead of pretending that everything I do is to be just like my mom (I love you, Mom).

Priya; you made that face, let me take a picture of it and now its on the internet...deal. :*

 My friends are weird and we do weird things together.  Whether this may be hanging all of my bras from my ceiling fan or walking in a huge group to Lehigh Pizza on Southside...while I'm wearing an Elmo onesie, they inspire me to do weird stuff.  Additionally, they have probably been the most integral people in shaping who I am.  I came to this school as a shy second grader from Georgia.  I had zero friends and was a huge tomboy.  Fast forward nine years and I have developed an actual personality.  I've made new friends, I've broken up with friends that I knew weren't good for me and I've stayed friends with some of those girls from second grade.  Without these people I might be a lonely genius who sits around and studies all day, but gets a full ride to Harvard.  Or I could be an anorexic party girl who is popular, but doesn't really have any friends.  My friends keep me grounded.

Okay, I get it...puns are never funny.

They actually keep me really grounded.  The call me out on my crap...a lot.  They tell me when I'm being stupid or mean.  They often tell me that I am not funny and that they aren't sure why I actually have friends.  As friends, we can be real with each other.  I am definitely a big believer in not being best friends with someone unless you insult them constantly.  What kind of fun would a friendship be if you had to walk around on eggshells with them.  I get into intense debates with my especially bright friends on topics such as "lesser" being a word (it is, I win), or if the movie Titanic actually happened (it did not, Rose and Jack are fictional characters, there was no piece of wood that they both had to fit on...duh I win).  In the end we can glare at each other for a lunch period, but by the next day we will have forgotten about it and I'll be asking for a sip of their iced coffee before class.  In conclusion, my friends rock, they are hilarious and smart and make me the best person that I can be.
