LAST WEEK'S QUESTION:

"So far, what was the worst day of your life, and what was the best day?"

The worst day of my life was when I did something really mean to my little sister and my parents found out; I got in huge trouble! I hated it. The best day of my life was when my little sister was born, even though I don't remember it that well, I still feel it was a very exciting and happy day.

The worst day of my life so far was the day my grandfather died. He was like my best friend and was so funny, and being there when the light left his eyes was the most difficult thing I've had to endure. The best day of my life so far was two weekends ago when my parents met my boyfriend for the first time. Even after seeing them at their most embarrassing, he accepted them for who they were. Plus, that night, he told me he loved me for the first time. My heart is still smiling; I love him so much!

The worst day of my life so far was when I came in fourth at my track meet last fall. If I came in third I still would have gotten a medal and been in the HS display case for eternity (or at least a few years lol) so I just missed out on that one. The best day of my life though, was when I made the track team in September. Last year I was really out of shape and if you told me I'd end up being a runner and making the track team I would have laughed at you. I worked so hard over the summer and got really into fitness. So I guess fourth place is still pretty good, even though that day was hard.

The worst day of my life was today. I had to take a five hour AP exam and it was so hard! I was totally unprepared and I couldn't concentrate and I totally tanked. The best day of my life was when I got tickets to see my favorite band in concert. They're only playing one show in the United States and I was so excited when I found out I actually get to see them!

So far, the worst day of my life was when I was in sixth grade and I found out that the guy I was in love with, my best friend, had just started going out with my other best friend. What really sucked was that I was planning to ask him out that same week, but she got there first. They broke up after about four or five months though, and then I seized my chance. He and I have been going out ever since and this month will be our one and a half year anniversary. The best day of my life was when he told me that he loved me. I'll never forget the way it felt! After all those months of waiting to hear the words, they finally came!

The worst day of my life was probably the day I spent alone. It was on a vacation in Florida, and I felt sick and didn't want to go anywhere. My family went to a theme park for the day so I had to stay inside our hotel room for the whole day with nothing to do. The best day of my life was probably the day I spent alone. Ironic, you say? But this time it was a beautiful sunny day at my house. My parents were at a wedding, my little sister was at my aunts and my brother was at a friends house. I got to spend the whole day playing with my dog, bouncing on the trampoline, eating popcorn and watching my fave movie.

The worst day of my life was when I was at one of my friend's houses for a sleepover with my other friends. It was at the end of last summer a week before school started and we'd be off to high school. My best friend ever was leaving for Pakistan for grade nine. She was leaving a few days after our sleepover. She wasn't allowed to sleep over, but she came over to my friend's house at night to say goodbye to all of us. It was so sad and we were all crying. I was going to miss her so much. but it got worse. One of my other friends who was there, had gotten in a fight with my best friend few days earlier and they weren't talking. My friend that wasn't leaving was acting so rudely and said so many rude things about my friend who was going away. It just made me so mad. My very best friend was being forced by her parents to go to a country where she would know no one and my other friend had no sympathy and was more interested in acting like a total b****. So after my bff left, I, along with my other 2 out of 3 friends that were sleeping over, got in a fight with my rude friend and we had a huge screaming match. I felt so disgusted with my "friend" that she could act that way towards my bff for no good reason. It wasnt fair. so by about midnight that night, we were all done crying and we were really angry. My rude friend called her mom who came to pick her up. That was the most miserable time in my whole life. Yes, I am still friends with my "rude" friend, however I do still wonder why sometimes. As for my friend who moved away, I miss her more than anything and can't wait to see her in a month, which is when she's coming home! And as for my best day ever, I don't think I've had THE best day ever of my life yet. However I know that when my bff comes home and I see her again, that will be a pretty awesome day!

The worst day of my life was the day that my grandpa died. My mother was at the hospital, and I she called me and told me the bad news. I huddled on the floor crying, pleading with my mom that it wasn't true. It felt like I was standing on a rug, and someone had pulled it under me. In contrast, the best day of my life was one I spent in Paris with a group of French students from my school. We went to the Louvre and saw all of the amazing works of art-the Mona Lisa, Winged Victory, Venus DeMilo, etc. That night we went to see the Eieffel Tower - it was incredible, all lit up. We rode all the way to the top, where we could see the most incredible view of Paris. We then ended the evening by taking a boat ride on the Siene river, seeing all the sights of Paris. I will never forget both days, because they taught me that even though life can be horrible at some points, it makes the best days all the better.

The worst day was when I found out my forever crush didn't like me back. I was obsessed with him all through grade 7 and half of 8 so it was like I put so much time into him, and it was a waste. The best day in my life was when I met my new boyfriend, who totally likes me back!

The worst day of my life would have to be when my friend said she hated my guts and told everyone in the school all of my secrets and who I liked. The best day in my life was when I got together with my boyfriend Cole.
