I am Ariel. And that’s all that you can ask me to be. I am liked and I am hated but I am still me. I happen to be a fairly average 17 year old girl. Huge aspirations I can only hope to achieve, but terrified to try because what if I don’t succeed. Quite emotional, but strong-willed. I am simply myself. I am stubborn and have a very sarcastic sense of humor that only some can truly understand and enjoy. I often times feels confused on who I am. I’m only 17, but I am working on defining myself as I want to be. I tend to be looked on, as mature for my age. I just don’t want to be ill prepared for dealing in the real world. I am who I choose to be. Not how I am told to be. I am a geek. I am a nerd. I am proud of who I am most of the time. I have a short attention span and have a tendency to be random, but excel in a lot. If its something I enjoy, I am a lot more willing to work hard for it. I am easily amused and love to laugh. I am paranoid and terrified of getting hurt. Which is why I have a tendency to not trust people or really let them get to know me real well. I try to get past it, but my guard does rise up often. I used to think little of myself and I didn’t believe I was capable of accomplishing my goals, but now I have learned otherwise. I still want to change the world. Make it better. I see no point in not trying. I am still beyond confused about my future. But I know my heart is in music. Not as a musician, but as the one who takes care of the musicians. The one who finds the bands that can change people’s lives. I’d really like to work for Epitaph Records. That is my dream job. I used to always want out of California, but that’s changed. I have found more and more reasons for staying out here. One being Epitaph is stationed out here. Another being my adorable new brother, who just makes me smile with one look. He’s so sweet and I just don’t want to stray from him. The last being my incredible boyfriend. He is just so amazing and perfect for me.
I am a typical student and Canyon High School, Home to The Awesomtacular Cowboys. Not that anyone really likes school all that much, but I think Canyon works well for me. I am for the most part an honors student and I am in the Ca-20063rd AFJROTC program at GVHS. I love rotc. It’s my safe haven basically. Something can be wrong elsewhere, but when I’m there, things just seem to be better again. It was the first thing I really ever did for myself. And I’ve never regretted it. An accomplishment in rotc actually gives me a sense of pride unlike the things I did to please my family.
It has taken a lot of time and some heartbreak, but I have found some of the greatest possible friends. I can be sure these people will always be there for me. Sophia and Brittney don’t even go to the same schools as me, but I have no doubt they will stay in my life. Amanda, despite previous issues thanks to grade A assholes, is still one of my best friends. Megan lives 1057.45 miles away from me and is no longer allowed to be friends with me because of mommy drama, we remain close friends. Taylor and the two Julias, Price and Groman, have come with a lot less complications thank goodness. Then my rotc friends are pretty awesome as well, like roche, who is pretty awesome actually. Things have changed, once again and those friends have made some realizations. And I am so glad for it. Thanks Peter. Those friends I have gained from my relationships really are quite important to me. All of them. Nick is lame. The guy I rely on most is Jake, well, more like the person I rely on most. Jake is the most incredible guy and I am quite glad to call him my guy. Few actually know and understand what a perfect match he is for me. He and I are actually really similar and have had to cope with some similar things. Therefore I can talk to him about anything without a second thought. We have definitely had some difficulties, but none of those things stop me from seeing how amazing he is and how I never want to not have him in my life. Jake is just....
