The Buzz is Finally Buzzin'

So yesterday we finally got out our first issue of our school newspaper of the new school year. I can't believe we actually made it to 10 pages! I had made a poster and put out a box of the newspaper underneath it. Some of the staff helped me pass out the paper during lunch and around senior balcony. Surprisingly many people were really excited about it, though many wondered when we started to have a school newspaper...(it's been around forever by the way). I think we were so much more organized and from now on our paper is going to be so much better. Hopefully this year our reader turnout will be much larger. Eventually we are just going to put out a box of the newspapers so people can just pick one up; of course this will have to be after we can be sure that we have a large audience. I am very excited about the newspaper this year and I hope it keeps getting better

So, This I Believe...This is Getting to be Repetative

So this essay is not finished yet!! Please help with suggestions, I feel like this is going no where.
Essay:
What do I believe? That should be an easy question since it's a thought that is coming from inside of me, my own opinion, my own head. For some reason I can't really come up with much. What I can come up with, however, is what I can't believe. I have come to a state where I can't really trust people too often. When people cancel plans with me at the last minute, I always feel that they have found something better to do with their time. If people tell me that they will pay me back, I know I'll never see that money again. Sometimes I even have trouble believing that my friends really are my friends.
Back in middle school I had a little situation that occured between me and three other friends; two were girls and the other was a boy. Now I'm going to go with the style of Gossip Girl and use their initials: the two girls are W and J, the boy is M. So me and W were best friends; we had been for two years. This year I had finally gotten into our school play and had started becoming closer friends with J and M. Eventually I developed a crush on M and told W about it because I tell her everything. I thought I could trust her to keep it a secret but I shouldn't have because she ended up telling M all about it. He approached me one night after play practice and told me that he just wanted to be friends and that he really liked W.

Ok, so this essay is lame, I need to come up with a new idea. I was thinking of how I tend to get upset and say I hate my life when I know that there are many people in the world that have a way worse life than I do.

This I Believe....again

So, I'm still struggling a bit about what I am going to write about for this This I Believe essay. Originally I wanted to write about how my mistakes have changed me, but I have finally decided that any of my stories that would go along with this topic are way too cliche. I ended up thinking about another idea that I had. Because of some prior events, I have a problem trusting people. What I was thinking was instead of what I believe I'll write about what I can't believe. I'll probably even put in one, or both, of my stories to make it more personal. I hope this is a better idea than my last one and not as cliche, or unoriginal.....

I'M STILL SO CONFUSED!!!

This I Believe?

I recently learned about an essay contest/compilation (don't know what to call it) dealing with essays written about, basically, what people believe. It took me such a long time to figure out what to write about. I kept coming up with such cliche ideas like: everything happens for a reason, love at first sight, you don't know what you have until it's gone and gobbledygook like that. Is it bad to not really know what I believe in? I mean I believe in so many things like treat others how you wish to be treated, allow people to have an abortion or gay people to be married, God, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny (well, maybe not the last two...ha ha) but I can't really write about any of those things.

I was thinking so hard about this all day today (no seriously I was!) and I came up with you have to learn from your mistakes. Now I know that this goes on my list of cliche but I do have a few stories that I can talk about that involve this topic. So:
a) boys...hm, there are a two stories I can think of here
b) about a paper i had written got a bad grade and rewrote (totally cliche if you ask me)
c) none of the above

If anyone has any suggestions, I am desperate; I have no clue what to write about!!!
