What is a crush?

Crushes. We all have them. You know who I'm talking about, every time you see them you turn into a giggly mess, you actually LOVE every little thing about them, they are PERFECT! Here I was, starting at my new school.

 Everything was just fine and dandy for a few months when BAM! Right in the middle of November 2015 everything changed. I had noticed him for a while, he was kinda hot and I may be guilty of staring at him a few *cough*bazillion*cough* times. I've had crushes before, but this one hit me harder than the morning after eating Taco Bell. Every time I saw him I smiled and giggled, then proceeded to feel awkward and power-walk away.

Luckily, I was somehow considered popular. One day the most popular girl in my class, arguably the most popular girl in our grade was also one of my best friends. She is super nice and at recess we always talk. She offered to talk to my crush for me, which is great. So, who was your first crush? Let me know in the comments below!

My Thoughts on Dress Code

For starters, I'm not against Dress Code. I think if a school wants to enforce some rules, go for it. When I start to have a problem with Dress Code is when something me, a 5th grader, wants to wear, is against dress code because it is thought of sexually. This is Elementary school!

 If someone looks at my exposed shoulder and it distracts them, that isn't my problem. If it's 95º out, I'm gonna wear a tank top. There is a difference between a girl wearing a tank top and shorts that are 3-inches above the knee when it's hot outside and a kid coming into school with a crop top and daisy dukes with holes in them. I think I've done enough ranting for now, so I'll just end this post before I go on a rampage and scream at every school administrator I see.
