This year I started high school. I don't know what I expected, everyone randomly bursting into song or doing drugs in the bathrooms? In reality, my reality at least, high school isn't like the movies make it out to be. Sure, there is lots of couples holding hands and making-out, and there are definitely certain groups. However I haven't heard anything about guys holding stereo's above their heads, or girls falling in love with vampires.
I guess somehow I expected that when we all walked in everyone would couple off. This is not what happened at all. In my direct group of friends none of us have even started to date, let alone get the much-anticipated first kiss. This year I got my first slow-dance, but it was with a friend so I don't think it really counts. I think the point of freshman year is to learn that, first: middle school sucked; second: that high school isn't all about finding a gf/bf, but more about finding yourself. I have managed to at least partially find myself in the halls of my high school, and I have also managed to find new friends among the old.
The most interesting thing this year? Lunch. Our conversations are much different than last year, and in a weird way... I've got the best friends!
According to google, this is high school.
And this describes my life

I see you've had your awesome experience of freshman year. Hopefully you had fun in your first year of high school, because it's going to be one wild of a roller-coaster ride. What you stated about finding yourself is very true, and I support that 100%. If you want to find someone right for you, then you're going to have to find your ideal self first.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment! I wouldn't say my experience was awesome, but it certainly was enlightening. Not really looking forward to going back but that's more about the tests and homework then the overall atmosphere.
