Wednesday Night Lights-Part 2
Last year, I was in the stands, spilling Cheetos on my lap and watching the football players lose pathetically. And this year, I was on the track, in a uniform and bow, cheering on a football team that won-not pathetically. My dear readers, this is Wednesday Night Lights, Part 2.
We got to the stadium an hour and a half before the game started, running through all of our chants, cheers, and dances. And, to be honest, most of us were nervous for the players. We were playing a notoriously good team. We'll call them CJH. So, it was RJH versus CJH in the epic Night Game of the 2013-2014 school year.
When the crowd finally started arriving, it was a little scary at first. I mean, you mess up, and all these people see you. And people talk. And have phones with cameras. Luckily, nothing too big of a deal happened to me, or any of the other girls, and it was like this rush of adrenaline. It was my first game ever as a cheerleader. And I was so, so, so happy. I thought back to the day of tryouts. Seriously, I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't made the squad, because it's such an amazing feeling to go out and perform for a crowd doing something that you really love.
And, to the best part. RJH won! I mean, it was 6 to 0, but still, we won. Can we just focus on the fact that CJH got ZERO POINTS!! CAN I GET A WHAT WHAT UP ON THIS BLOG?!?!?!?!
The day after at school, everyone was ecstatic. Some football players on my bus yelled "Yeah!" "Go cheerleaders!" at me. And I was all "Oh, thanks :)" Even a few people who don't usually talk to me complimented me on a few of our cheers.
Happy weekend!
XOXO
Maddie.

Marvelous Melodies of the Moment
Good music, good life.
End of story.
Counting Stars-OneRepublic: Can I even explain how absolutely perfect and amazing this song is in words? I listen to it on repeat. The lyrics are so packed with meaning, but the song is super catchy. My favorite lyrics from it are probably "And I don't think the world is sold on just doing what we're told," "Everything thing that drowns me makes me want to fly," and "No more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars." Aaaaahhhhh it's just so perfect.
Wake Me Up-Avicii: This is my workout jam!! The beat on this is super catchy and upbeat. It just makes you want to go run and dance and go frolick in a meadow of flowers. Haha. Does anyone else think of that?
Tiny Little Bows-Carly Rae Jepsen: This is such an adorable song. Legit, that's the only reason to describe it. The end.
Love Like Woe-The Ready Set: Um has anyone listened to this in the last...ever? It's so peppy and can always put a smile on my face, even after a long day at school.
Roar-Katy Perry: Not sure how marvelous this is, but it definitely gets you pumped up. I mean, after you listen to it, you're like: "Yeah, world! I've got the eye of the tiger! I'm a fighter! You're gonna hear me roar!"
Hope you enjoyed :) Let me know if you go and listen to any of these after reading this post!

What To Wear When You're Sick
Since the quote-unquote "cold and flu season" is among us, I thought now would be a perfect time to write a post like this. I, myself, am sick, along with 1/2 of my school. A ton of people caught this coldish-headachey virus or something.
Anyway, to the point of this post. I'm one of those people that tries to look presentable at school (in other words, I try not to come to school often in over-sized hoodies and sweatpants, no matter how tempting that sounds). So, I came up with a little outfit plan for you, including what to do with hair and makeup.
Hair: I like to leave my hair down. It's the most comfortable plus it keeps me warm #longhairdontcare
Makeup: Wear as little as possible. Your immune system is busy fighting that virus, so it doesn't really have time to keep your pimples at bay. It's really important to wear moisturizer, as well! I used my Hope In A Jar one from Philosophy because it's really thick and hydrates my skin nicely. For the rest of my makeup, I just used concealer on a few breakouts, curled my eyelashes and applied mascara, put on some lip balm, and then topped it with a lip gloss.
Top: I'm wearing a plain black "cami" tank top from H & M (super cheap and super cute), and an oversized white sweater from BP @ Nordstrom. It's a great sweater because it's not a thick knit. It gives you room to breathe.
Bottoms: I'm wearing some dark wash, distressed super skinny jeans. They are cute, but also comfy, and easy to move around in.
Shoes: Today, I chose to wear some black "booties" with a kitten heel. You could also wear some flats if that suits your fancy.
Accessories: I kept it minimal today by wearing a teal-ish green colored scarf with different sized dots on it. It's very abstract and adds a pop of color.
Or, you could also join the Scrub Club and wear a crewneck and leggings. The main thing is being comfy, darlings!

Rainy Day To Do's
On many a September mornings, outside waiting at my bus stop, you can hear me singing "Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day!" And on most of the days here in Washington, it's cloudy or rainy! I particularly love the rain, so I compiled a little(ish) list of things for you to do on a rainy day!
- If you live in a city or close to some sort of nature trail, grab your rain gear and take a stroll!
- Go shopping
- Listen to music
- Make hot cocoa
- Watch Netflix (post coming soon about the Top Teen TV Shows on Netflix)
- Have a sleepover
- Have a themed movie marathon (for example: Rom-Coms-The Proposal, 27 Dresses, ya know, the works)
- Or, just watch your favorite movie (Legally Blonde is my all time favorite!)
- Snooze
- Just sit and listen to the rain (believe me, it's relaxing)
- Go to the movies with some friends (okay there are quite a few things on here related with movies and TV, what can I say?!)
- Bake/cook something!
- Spend the day with family! Visit people that you seem to only see on major holidays
- If you can, go into the city if you live in the 'burbs (i.e. take the ferry to Seattle if you live in a place that has a ferry. Obviously this only applies to people in Washington)
- DO NOT sit around and be bored. Because the people who let themselves be bored tend to be the most boring ;)

LA-LAT-LATEPOST! Late post! Late post!
So much chaos has happened over the last days! Tons of homework and long cheer practices! So today, I will just be writing a quick update :)
For starters, I am no longer in the math class that I was in on Monday. We took pre tests for the class, and I ended up scoring pretty high on the pre test. Administration at my school got ahold of my math state standardized test scores from my 7th grade year. They recommended that I switch into a higher level math-9th grade math to be exact. And I did it! Now, I'm in Algebra 1 with a text book that has a questionable substance on the front cover from the last person who used it. Ummmm.....
Cheer has been HARD these last few days. The gym we practice in is probably about 95 degrees and super stuffy. Plus practicing the dance to our school's fight song and chants upon chants and jumps. But no matter how hard the work is, it's worth it. I love cheer ❤
And that's all for now :) back to homework...

Fall Bucket List
Even though the "first day of fall" hasn't technically happened, I would say that autumn is in full swing! Big sweaters, riding boots, and leggings are replacing muscle tanks, bandeaus, and high-waisted colorful shorts. Honestly, I am really excited for this fall season! It will be a good change of pace. And I know this is a little weird, but I will be so happy when it starts raining on a regular basis. We had such a beautiful, sunny summer, but this Washington girl needs a little, um, downpour of rain in her life. Luckily that won't be a problem for too much longer.
And don't get any naughty thoughts about those last couple of sentences. Believe me, I know all of the "that's what she said" jokes.
So now that that is covered, we can move on to my Fall 2013 Bucket List
- Volunteer at my old elementary school's fall "festival" of sorts called Harvest Hay Day. I volunteered last year and it was lots of fun :)
- Go to the pumpkin patch
- Run through a corn maze
- Dress up for Halloween (in good taste of course. Obviously I'm going to try and look cute ;). What? There's no shame in my game.)
- Jump in to a leaf pile
- Put away my summer clothes
- Burn through a candle, even if it's just a mini one
- Help make the food fabulous on Thanksgiving
- Try a Light Pumpkin Spice Frappucino at Starbucks (DONE!!!)
There were a couple more, but they were kinda personal, so I decided not to post them :)
What's one thing you're looking forward to this fall? Comment down below!

Best Instagram Accounts
Hello there :)
If you don't already know, I am ADDICTED to Instagram. It's one of my favorite apps, and by far my favorite social media site, I guess you could call it. I've had my Instagram for about 5 months now, and I have found some of the coolest accounts with some amazing pictures!
Just a quick disclaimer: If you personally know me, know that I will not be mentioning anyone that is my friend, someone that I go to school with, or anything like that, for the sake of my privacy and theirs. Don't get your feelings hurt :)
Here are the accounts! Enjoy!
@haileyjunkin : I love her pictures! They are always well-edited. She's also a singer and she has a real gift! Go check her out on YouTube as well as on Instagram! Her YouTube username is haileyjoy14
@barkleysircharles : This adorable French Bulldog! I know, I'm kind of a dork! His owners made an account where they post pictures of him! He is just so cute! Go follow him if you LOVE sweet animals.
@starbucks : Aside from the fact that their drinks rock, they always post a bunch of cool pictures. There is rarely an advertisement posted. They take their pictures mostly in Washington state (Internet high five if you're a Washingtonian like myself)
@starbuckssecretss : A must-follow account if you're hooked on Starbucks drinks, especially frappuccinos. They give out all of these really cool recipes for drinks you can order while you're there, complete with a picture of what it will look like, and how to order it.
@mycheerwishlist : If you're a cheerleader, regardless of you cheer on an all-star team or on your school team, you need to follow this account! It's a really great cheer bucket list and I always enjoy seeing their posts appear on my Instagram feed.
@izkiz : I am not sure who runs this account, or if it's just an account run by a specific company, but this account has legitimately the most beautiful pictures. Complete editing genius behind these pics. They are so amazing. They have TONS of pictures as well. This is an account that I know will post frequently.
@bestsayingss : Quotes. Quotes. And more quotes. With cool fonts and backgrounds. All of the pictures are made with an app called PicLab (which by the way is also a great app). They usually post multiple times a day, and most of the quotes usually are motivational, and positive, to help you get your day started or if you just need a little mood boost.
@appsandapps : This account is so great! They reveal the apps that many popular Instagram users use to edit their pictures. I have found my favorite editing apps from this account.
@tipsforchicas : If you're a girl with an IG, go follow them ASAP. They have super cute tutorials, and obviously tips specifically for teen girls :) They post about pictures, makeup, hair, clothes, and so on! Nifty account.
Hope you liked the list! Again, this is all my personal opinion. If you have any favorite accounts, don't forget to leave their names in the comments below :)

This Year Is Gonna Be Better
So, it's 6:05 in the morning on September 4, 2013. Why am I up so early? Well, the sunny days and starry night are over for this girl. Today marks the first day of my eighth grade year. And I could not be more excited.
Today, I am proudly sporting red, black, and white, my school colors, by wearing my cheer uniform. We have this "first day back" assembly at my school, and the cheerleaders get to take part in it. I couldn't be more thrilled. I get to be a role model, someone for the seventh graders to look up to. Along with my cheer shell, which is the top that has the school's letters on it, and my skirt, which by the way is also adorable, I get to wear my cheer shoes and these super cute zebra print socks that say "CHEER" on them that the entire team got.
My nails are polished quite nicely, if I do say so myself. Hot pink with multicolored chunky glitter nail polish at the base of the nails.
But other than that, I am really pumped for my classes. I can't wait to see all the people I didn't see at all over summer break. Plus, I got tan, therefore, it looks like I had an amazing summer outside. Which, I did. Ain't no fake tan up in here (except for a teeny bit on my face, so that the color of my face matches the rest of my body).
I think my eighth grade year is going to be different. Mainly because of cheer, but also because I won't be the youngest grade in school. Maddog is movin' up in the world! I woke up at 5 this morning just so that would have enough time to get ready. Yeah, from now on, I think I can wake up at 5:30 and be fine :)
You know that nervous-excited feeling you get whenever something really big is going to happen, like on a rollercoaster, right before you shoot forward down the steep drop? Well, that's exactly how I feel right now. But luckily, I fastened my seatbelt, pulled down the safety bar, and threw my hands up in the air. I couldn't be more ready to be shot forward on the rollercoaster that is my 8th grade year.

Capture The Moment-Best Pics from Summer 2013
Straight from my iPhone Photo Library :)
This was taken at the beginning of July! I was super sunburnt at the time. My friend and I jumped off this dock into the best lake I have ever been to!
I was crabbing with my friend's family and when we stopped to drop the crab pots, we climbed on to the front of their boat and had a mini photo shoot
Went hiking with one of my best friends. There was a spectacular view!
An Ocean Shores beach picture! g∞d vibes!
My grandma's adorable cat, Sweet Pea
Went to Seattle, and took an amazing skyline pic! I used a reflection app to make it look like this.
Through the course of the entire summer, I took almost 400 pictures. For my privacy, I didn't post any selfies! Sorry :) But here ya go! Summer 2013 was one of the best summers I've had!
Comment below which of the pics is your favorite!
XOXO,

An Apology. And Some News. And Maybe A Little Surprise.
Could you tell that I was winging it with the title? Yeah.
The Bad Blogger Award goes to me. It has been almost 9 months since my last post. And you might wonder, why? Because I simply forgot. I got lazy. And all of these other stupid reasons. And I am sorry. And you have absolutely no reason to be reading this. Why should you? It's not like this in an "active blog" or anything. So, to anyone who ever checked from time to time and only saw that same old post from some time in early December of 2012. So, I am going to give you a brief summary (from what I remember) of all of the months that I didn't blog
January: 2013 started off good for me. This month I finished up one of the electives that I hated at first, but really enjoyed at the end-Wood Shop. I got this oversized cobalt blue sweater from Hollister that, to this day, I still love. And had my first ever junior high Finals Week. Or, as lots of people like to call it, Hell Week.
February: Not much happened this month. I was ready for winter to be over. My favorite song, as I distinctly remember, was Tiny Little Bows by Carly Rae Jepsen. I listened to that song OVER AND OVER.
March: This was a kind-of-exciting month. The sun finally started to peek out from behind the cloud cover that had taken over the Washington sky for the past months. And, at the end of the month, right before Spring Break started, my best friends decorated my locker. They took up two lockers. And I was so happy! I remember that during math that day, my friend Taylor and I drew pictures of each other driving white vans. It's an inside joke.
April: This was a good month. Spring Break was much-needed. And then, three of my friends started to do track. It was mainly bad because one of them rode the bus with me. And during my seventh grade year, my bus flat-out SUCKED. They had practice every day, and she was NEVER on the bus. But, no fear, I was able to handle it!
May: One of my best months. I made my school's cheer squad! I am a cheerleader!!! That was the main highlight from that month.
June: Great month. It was amazing during the end of school. Our school puts on this big show called the Variety Show and it is one of the most amazing things. All of these students audition and they pick the best acts, and they perform. They have a huge set, and props, music, and lighting. It's one of the moments that I realize how happy I am to go to the school that I do. And the last day was a giant celebration!! Everyone was ECSTATIC for summer
July: This month was great!! At the beginning of the month, I thought I had lost a friendship permanently, but by the end of the month, everything was fine. I went to so many different lakes and had such an amazing time. A great kickoff to summer
August: I went to Ocean Shores with my cousin and family. It was amazing. And by the end of the month, I was ready to go back to school.
And now. School starts in two days, and I will proudly be sporting my ADORABLE cheer uniform like the rest of the cheerleaders. I have had an amazing summer. And I am so ready to start eighth grade.
And now, for the most important thing. I don't know if I can honestly say "I will post 'X' times a week on this blog." I will be committing myself to one blog, and that is Anonymously Ours, the blog my friend (you might know her as Rhodo) and I started at the end of our 6th grade year. This does not mean that I am giving up. I will try my hardest to post at least once a week on here.
That's all for now.

I got this oversized cobalt blue sweater from Hollister that, to this day, I still love. And had my first ever junior high Finals Week. Or, as lots of people like to call it, Hell Week.
February: Not much happened this month. I was ready for winter to be over. My favorite song, as I distinctly remember, was Tiny Little Bows by Carly Rae Jepsen. I listened to that song OVER AND OVER.
March: This was a kind-of-exciting month. The sun finally started to peek out from behind the cloud cover that had taken over the Washington sky for the past months. And, at the end of the month, right before Spring Break started, my best friends decorated my locker. They took up two lockers. And I was so happy! I remember that during math that day, my friend Taylor and I drew pictures of each other driving white vans. It's an inside joke.
April: This was a good month. Spring Break was much-needed. And then, three of my friends started to do track. It was mainly bad because one of them rode the bus with me. And during my seventh grade year, my bus flat-out SUCKED. They had practice every day, and she was NEVER on the bus. But, no fear, I was able to handle it!
May: One of my best months. I made my school's cheer squad! I am a cheerleader!!! That was the main highlight from that month.
June: Great month. It was amazing during the end of school. Our school puts on this big show called the Variety Show and it is one of the most amazing things. All of these students audition and they pick the best acts, and they perform. They have a huge set, and props, music, and lighting. It's one of the moments that I realize how happy I am to go to the school that I do. And the last day was a giant celebration!! Everyone was ECSTATIC for summer
July: This month was great!! At the beginning of the month, I thought I had lost a friendship permanently, but by the end of the month, everything was fine. I went to so many different lakes and had such an amazing time. A great kickoff to summer
August: I went to Ocean Shores with my cousin and family. It was amazing. And by the end of the month, I was ready to go back to school.
And now. School starts in two days, and I will proudly be sporting my ADORABLE cheer uniform like the rest of the cheerleaders. I have had an amazing summer. And I am so ready to start eighth grade.
And now, for the most important thing. I don't know if I can honestly say "I will post 'X' times a week on this blog." I will be committing myself to one blog, and that is Anonymously Ours, the blog my friend (you might know her as Rhodo) and I started at the end of our 6th grade year. This does not mean that I am giving up. I will try my hardest to post at least once a week on here.
That's all for now.
