I was referring to the fact that high school sucks. I wasn't saying everyone needed to go to college, just that high school really doesn't do a daisies thing. If you do good in high school, alright. You don't really get anything for it. If you're perfect in high school and on your SAT's you get into places like Harvard. If you're just a smidge below perfect, better luck next time. Oh wait, there isn't a next time because you only have one life. So you can get into decent colleges at least, but still, you don't get anything for high school. Sure, there are a few awards, and maybe some scholarships if you get really lucky, but 90% of the crap they teach you you'll never use again unless you become a high school teacher. In college you actually learn about what you want to learn.

/stupid rant

Don't blame you if you tl;dr this. I just got bored. =P
And for the record, I wasn't born in '82, either. 1988 for me. I think I'm the second or third oldest on here, of the regulars at least, after AngelKate. But who's counting?

That's what she said.

And highschool is just prep for college, so I don't think it's that bad. People who go to highschool, though, notsomuch.

I always wondered if anybody actually questioned that or they just didn't care. XD It's an inside thing between me and my best friend. If you're a fan of the band Cake, specfically their song Daria, you might recognize what it is.

The teachers at my highschool are so crazy about drilling it into your brain that if you do bad in highschool, your life is over completely. This has seperated my school into 2 distinct halves; the half that doesn't give a crap and either never comes, skips, or just doesn't try, and the half that gets brainwashed and freaks out if they get a B. I'm pratically in the brainwashed half; If I don't know my marks 24/7, I automatically assume I'm failing my classes and have panic attacks. I'm not a straight A student by any means though, but I tend to get Bs. I'm actually satisfied as long as I pass though. Anyways, that's why I replied how I did to Einstein's comment, because if I'm spazzing now I'll end up dying in college. :| But I don't know what I want to do yet anyways, so I don't have any plans to go and waste my time and cheddar. I'm just fortunate I'm one of the lucky ones that has cheddar set aside for them, so I can wait. =D I also eat very little so maybe that'll save me some of my own cash.

I've forced myself to be compleeeeetly lax when it comes to schoolwork and stuff that usually induces stress. Stress isn't good for my body. At all. (AKA, when I get stressed I go through subconcious self-harm phases.)


It's gonna be hilarious when it comes to Year 12 exammes. I'll be so chilled out I won't do any work and completely fail and become a hobo.

Learn to do just enough work to get by. That way there's rarely any stress and you still get a worthless HS diploma.

It worked for me. :U

Believe it or not, I'm half-assing it now and somehow this doesn't make me feel better.
