What to do, what to do?! Spring has sprung, and break's just around the corner, but your parents can't afford to take you anywhere for vacation, but all your friends get to go somewhere. What on earth can you possibly do for a whole week without friends to hang out with?!
I find myself in that dilemma most every spring break. What do I do to stay sane? Well, I'm not entirely sane, but hey, I have found some things to do during break.
Studying is one of the more responsible things to do, though nobody wants to do it. If you have your future in...

The Hunger Games Movie
The Hunger Games came out midnight on March 23, 2012. It consisted of love, death, bonds, friendship, and much more.
Personally, I thought that the scene where Katniss volunteered for Prim was the best scene in the movie. The emotion put into those words, “I volunteer as tribute” really showed that Katniss loved her sister more than anything. Prim crying and trying to get to Katniss after the guards took her up to the stage really got to me. This was one of the many times of the movie where I almost cried. The scene I didn’t really like was when...

How To Talk to your Parents (So they will listen)
Whether you want your parents to let you have a sleepover on a school day, get your ears pierced, get a dog, or just about anything else, it can be very hard to convince your parents to allow you.
Parents can be tricky to communicate with. They never seem to understand their kids. Oh, they say, "I was a kid once!" but then they go right ahead and ignore everything that you say to them. It can be very difficult, but yes, it is possible to talk to your parents and have them actually listen. Here are my tips on how to make it a whole lot easier.

Simple Websites to help the Poor
There are many websites out there that will actually give money or vaccines, etc to the poor when you do something. That can be anything from clicking a button and looking at some sponsors, to answering trivia! I love doing these, because it takes my free time, and makes them productive. I feel good, and I'm helping other people live happier, healthier, longer lives.
The first website I will show you is thenonprofits.com. It lists all the click to donate sites for different categories. I try to go through all of them once a day. Note that some...

Getting Novel Writing Ideas
Coming up with ideas for books and novels can be tricky. You have to really think, think about everything you want to be in the book. Think of the characters, the plot, the conflict, the setting, everything! This is what I do.
First, you should always decide how long you want your book to be. If you want it to be a children's picure book, then make sure your plot is simple enough that it can fit into a picture book.
Also, think about who your audience is. If you are writing for toddlers, then you wouldn't want to use difficult words they wouldn't...

The Sorcerer's Apprentice 2? Could there be a sequel?
The sorcerer's apprentice was a movie filmed in 2010, a family comedy, about a seemingly normal boy, Dave Stutler, who finds out he is destined to be a powerful sorcerer. He then goes on to many different adventures with his mentor, Belthazor, and finds out that he bit off more than he could chew.
The reason that I think that there may be a sequel, is that at the end, you see the main antagonist's hat on the pole, just after Dave and Belthazor have won, indicating that there is room for a sequel. Also, it could have a sequel, as it is based off...
Maximum Ride; Reasons I'm Team FAX (spoilers)
Ok, let me explain. Two of the main characters, Max, and Fang, fall in love (TEAM FAX), then they break up (kinda) and get caught up in a love triangle (square?). Max gets involved with Dylan [Team Mylan :( ], and Fang gets sorta involved with Maya, Max's clone. Creepy, right?
So, I am completely and totally, with all my heart, team Fax. Want to know why?
1. Best Friends Forever!
Max and Fang have been best...
