Question about semi colons?

Question

Okay, so is this how to use one.

My plans for the next four years are to move to California, make new friends, try to keep my good grades, and just do the whole high school experience; hopefully, without the really bad stuff.

That last part. is that how?

dont make fun of my paper. my teacher really loved it.

Answer 1

No, that's not really the right way.

A semicolon is used to put a pause in a continuing sentence. Here's an example.

Barry forgot to wear underwear this morning; he was going to be paranoid all day at school.

Cookies Suck; Cake Rocks.  

Answer 2

I think the semicolon would go in between are and to.

I think you use the semi colon when you are listing items.

It has been a while since I have taken a English class but think that is right.

My dad was also a English teacher for high school students many years ago.
