I know my birthdays not for like, another 10 months or so, but Im planning my 13th birthday party. I call it my Sweet Thirteenth Party. Im gonna invite all my friends, and everyone in my classes. Im having it at this big place where we have school dances. It has 3 TVs, 2 of which are used for video games, a ping pong table, 2 pool tables, an air hockey table, and a computer WITH internet! Then, there's a HUGE dance area downstairs.

 Even when you make new ones, be sure to keep the old ones. New school? New town? None of your friends there? So, youve made some new friends. You should hang out with them! Definetley! But, dont forget about those old friends of yours! Dont think you can stay in touch? Is it too much work? Not really. Its plain and simple. Make a phone call, and catch up. Laugh, joke, and just talk! Make plans to get together. Maybe, youll email them instead! Or IM, or MySpace, or Facebook, or any other online communication you may have. Or, just text them. There are many ways to stay in touch, as long as both people are willing. Me and one of my very best friends decided that we're going to hang out every weekend. Saturday is out usual day. Me, her, and a few of my other friends are going to see Destroyed this weekend! Also, Im bringing one of my new friends! Thats another idea! Maybe, you can bring your new and old friends together! Who knows. You just may be adding one to the gang! My main point, dont forget about those other friends. Sometimes, it feels like they dropped off the face of the Earth, I know. But believe it or not, they havent. And theyre wondering how youve been, or if you really have dropped off the face of the earth. Pick up the phone, or open up the computer.

Im going to a new school this year. Its the same town, just  a different school from every single one of my friends. I only have two of my guy friends there, and theyre always hanging out with their group of guy friends. They feel unaprochable to me during a time such as lunch. The first few days, I sat by myself at lunch, and was quiet during PE. But now, day #4 of school, and I have a few friends. I met a girl from my Core (which is your three basic subjects, in which you stay with generally the same people those three periods), and went out to lunch with her on day #3. I ate with her, and one of her friends. Then, today, we sat with her other two friends, and before I knew it, I was surrounded by 4 other girls, talking and laughing at lunch. Ive also been talking with people in my Home Ec and Math classes. 
But see, by day #2, when I was still quiet all day (except for when answering a question, taking roll, and chorus, of course!) I wanted to transfer back to the other school where all my best friends and just plain friends were. But now I have a great time at lunch, Im not alone, Im finding myself able to talk to other kids in my other classes, and I personally think that I improved greatly.
Bottom line of this story, for anyone who doesnt know anyone at your school, or in your town for that matter, dont give up. Dont just automatically think, "This isnt working out! I want to go back home!" or, "I want to transfer to my friends school!" or something of that sort! My mom said, "Just finish this year, and if you still want to switch, then you can!" Dont give up on day #2, or day #3, or day #4, or day #10. You need to give it some time, and everything will be alright. 

 How is a person supposed to act calm, when really, they are completely nervous inside. How does a person give out an invitation as though they were only giving it to their friend, when it feels like they're giving it to Jesse McCartney or Jessica Alba? Well I know I suck at it. And I have no idea what to do about it. I mean, Im an actress. Why cant I act confident?! Its all so frustrating, so confusing. And there's nothing I can do about it...
