If anyone actually reads this, and you don't want to read something whiny today, you can just go ahead and skip this post. I've got some complaining to do, and I'm gonna do it.
I think when people say that high school is the best four years of your life, they're crazy. I mean, I guess for some people, the people who "peak" in high school, it could be. But if these have been the best four years of my life, I'm screwed. It's not like it's all been miserable, but I don't think I'd say that high school has been a cake walk for me.
The following is a list of some of the reasons high school sucks...bad:
The people. When I leave Greenwood High School behind forever, I really don't think I'll miss but, like, two people who go here. Yes, there are some people that don't absolutely make me want to throw up/cry/bang my head against a hard object, but really, I just haven't found that many people who I've wanted to build relationships with. The people I really focus on are people that go to my church, and stuff like that. Because, honestly, the people you meet in high school tend to be selfish, inconsiderate, annoying and sometimes just downright mean. I'll be honest, I'm not immune from being a typical high school student, with all the drama and boy trouble. But I really make an effort to rise above stuff that's childish and petty. I can't handle it, so I just try to set an example. It doesn't help, most of the time. But it's all fine and dandy, because I pick people in my life who make me a better version of me, and that's all that matters, in reality. That's why I don't think I'll miss the people who go to school here. Because, in leaving them behind, I leave all the crap that has followed me around the last four years. I know that leaving high school does not mean leaving behind drama altogether, but I'm getting rid of all the things that I've been dealing with from the same people for all of high school.
The boys, in general. Not only do the people here suck, the BOYS suck as well. You see, I want an extraordinary boy, and all the ones you meet in high school are ordinary. By ordinary, I mean immature. I know (because my mom tells me all the time) that boys never get better, just different. But, I think that if you find a man that things will get better. The guys you meet in high school are boys, and, really, they don't have much to offer. I mean, I've met a couple of boys that have the potential to be good, but I've just tried to avoid them altogether, because, there are more important things that I need to focus on than boys who are only gonna break my heart one day.
The classes. I can not wait, to go to college and pick what I want to study and stuff like that. I understand that I'll have to take the general education classes and stuff like that, but I mean when I really get into the last part of high school and I get to study classes for my career and stuff, I'll get to pick, and that's so exciting for me. I'm tired of having to take math and science classes to gain knowledge that I really don't think I'm gonna need later on. I mean, I'm tired of physics, and calculating the velocity. I have no idea why that will be useful later in life, and so I don't really see the point.
The homework. I think homework is so silly. I know, that's a typical thing to say. But seriously, I don't get it. WHY do we need to do work outside of school? We come to school for that mess, there's no reason to do it at home too. Honestly, homework doesn't help me at all. I understand that it's supposed to be an extension of you class work, but the homework that I have always seems to be an exact replica of what we do in class. So, if we do it in class why do we have to do it at home? I have MUCH better things to do in my time at home than the same things that I did at school.
I can think of so many more things, but I don't want to whine anymore, I want to try and change my attitude-- you know, make it a good one. So that's all I have to say about high school...for now. I'm just so glad that I'm almost done. I don't know what I would do if I wasn't. I just can't wait for the rest of my life, as corny as that sounds.
