About Me

The H-Word. There's a lot of H-words around here. Honest, helpful, happy, hilarious, just to name a few. Also Hailey, my name, the real H-word.

I'm currently a high school teacher taking things one day at a time while making all kinds of plans for my future. That's something I like to do, plan things. Seriously, my bullet journal is detailed and amazing. This comes in handy since I'm a science teacher, who is also getting my masters in secondary education. Kids are one of my passions because they're so dang great. Some other things I love include iced coffee, baseball, sunshine, ice cream, and country music.

I am so excited to be writing this blog all about my life. It's funny that I have decided to do this thing considering how much I have hated writing for the majority of my life. This blog is for me to share about my experiences and adventures. I hope that sharing my stories can help people no matter what they're needing, whether it be encouragement or just a good laugh. 

Thanks for coming and be sure to check out the full story about the how and why I started this blog.

I'm sorry, I can't.

I'm sorry, I can't because I have to study. I'm sorry, I can't because I already have something else going on. I'm sorry, I can't go anymore, something came up. I'm sorry, I can't. I could not even begin to count the number of times these words have left my mouth or been typed by my fingers. It's not that I didn't want to go, either. It was that I genuinely, 100% felt like I couldn't go. I felt like I couldn't muster up the energy to get out of my bed and get ready to leave the house. I felt like I couldn't pretend like I was enjoying myself for hours. I felt like I couldn't go make conversations with people I didn't really know. Sometimes I even felt like I couldn't hang out with my best friends. Before I was diagnosed with depression, and even after, I was never the type of person that people would think is depressed. Not to say that there is a specific type of person that you look at think, "that person is depr

22 Things I've Learned by 22

Hey y'all! As my birthday is quickly approaching I thought it would be fun to write about some things I have learned over the years. It really hasn't hit me yet that it's almost my birthday. Normally I'm talking about it for weeks before it happens, but this time everyone else is reminding me it's almost my birthday. I'm really excited about this year because it's my "Taylor Swift year" aka I'm turning 22. Taylor Swift is my absolute favorite so I am thrilled to have a song to jam to for a whole year. Recently she did a piece with Elle Magazine about the 30 things she learned before her 30th birthday. I guess you could say she inspired me to write about the 22 things I have learned by 22. Say what you mean. There is no need to complicate things with lies and miscommunication. "Say what you mean and mean what you say" -Dr. Seuss  Hang out with your family.

Let's Do This Thing

I have had this crazy idea of starting a blog for several years now, however, something always stopped me from actually doing it. Recently though, I had been really feeling it. So of course I did what any person does when they want to do something new: look it up on the internet. Let me just tell you, those "How to Start a Blog in Five Easy Steps" articles are terrifying. So many of the tutorials seemed more like rules that you had to follow if you ever wanted anyone to read your blog. The articles would say stuff like, "if you don't have a niche people won't know what they're going to see so they just won't read it" or "if you don't have a focused idea you won't be able to keep writing articles that are interesting to your readers." Not to mention, they all talked about to make money from writing your blog. And I just thought to myself whoah, maybe this isn't for me after all.  But then it hit me, I don't really care if pe
