Do I Really Know What I Want to Do?

Hello World Wide Web! Let's talk about 20 Time or as I like to call it, "the bane of every indecisive person's existence." There are so many possible things to do that I can't choose. I think I might've narrowed it down to two choices, but I don't know which one to pick. It's so hard to choose. Okay, so choice number 1 is to create a short Hunger Games musical parody. That would require a lot of work, but I would be completely into it because of the experience I would get with filming, writing, directing, editing, etc. If you don't really know what I mean by a musical parody, watch WinterSpringPro's parody below. It's really funny.

Anyway, so that's one option. My other is to write a song and be able to perform it in front of people. I don't really have stage fright, but at the same time, I don't like singing in front of people because I'm afraid of embarrassment and being judged. The problems with that would be that either 1) I would have to learn how to play an instrument or 2) I would have to learn how to use a music software that can be downloaded onto a computer, so I don't really know about that option either. Now that I think about it though, I just came up with another option. (I told you I was indecisive.) So, I lied before. Now, there are going to be three choices. My other choice would be to create a YouTube channel and "vlog" or video blog something new each week or just create a new video each week on YouTube. That would be fun, but I have horrible time management. Also, it's such a cliché project. I want to do something a little more unique than everyone else. This is so hard. Gosh, what am I going to do?! Looks like I have the one week of break left to decide. Hopefully, I can come up with something. Jazz is out!

Starting 20 Time

Hi, I'm Jasmine and I'm starting this project called 20 Time. The whole concept is that 20% of my time in class is contributed to any project of my choice. Yes, I know, my English teacher is amazing! This project should give students an amazing opportunity to pursue their most realistic goals or their most unrealistic dreams. No matter how much someone might think that they will fail or succeed, it doesn't matter. Nothing is too big. It's all about the learning experience, not your results. As the famous quote says, "It's about the journey not the destination." I think that this project will be a great thing for everyone, and I hope everyone has amazing ideas and projects that they're looking forward to doing. Some people in my class may know exactly what they're doing. I, on the other hand, do not. Don't get me wrong, I am most definitely looking forward to this, but I don't know what I'm going to do at all. I have so many ideas floating around inside my head that I don't know how to deal with it all! I'm so worried that I won't learn anything or get any progress done. Simply, I'm afraid to fail. It's a constant battle to try and remind myself that it's not about success or failure. I am excited though to possibly be able to use my ideas for a greater purpose or just to do something that I've always wanted to do. I honestly can't wait for this wild ride and stress that this project will take me on. Jazz is out! P.S. Below is a quick video introduction to 20 Time:
