Reality Checks, Farting & Watermelon

Where to start...

Schools out! I'm officially done with homework, quizzes, tests and sitting in boring classes all day. All of the people I never want to see, I never will. All the girls who really deserve a reality check and probably a whack in the face are out of sight. All of the boys who wear too much cologne and fart (lady like way of saying this: pass gas) because they think it's funny are history.

...For the next twelve weeks, anyway. 

And for the next twelve weeks I will be at the beach, with my friends, being silly, eating watermelon, listening to Taylor Swift and being a normal kid. 

Now that school is done there are some things I really need to get out there:

WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH SOME PEOPLE? 

Why are some people such genuinely mean people? There are people in school that don't understand why it's important to be kind to one another. This includes not talking about people behind their backs, making fun of someone, and doing things to intentionally put others down. Uh, hello, rude.

WHY DO PEOPLE CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK ABOUT THEM?

I do not, and will not ever understand why some people care what group of friends they hang out with. There are people in school who won't hang out with certain people, or who don't want to be seen with certain people because it doesn't fit their social status. I have never been one to have been on either side of the social spectrum- I'm pretty sure I've always been in the middle- but I've seen both sides, and I don't think I'd ever even think about going to the "top" if I was given all of the money in the world. The irony of my saying this is that I don't believe in the "social ladder" the way other kids do. To me, the kids on top are the really smart ones, and as you go down the ladder, so does the intelligence level. 

It's all really silly in the long run.

GIVE PEOPLE A CHANCE.

This ranges on so many different situations: from getting to know a new friend or taking back an old one, to not judging people before you know them, and to giving love, hope, and fun a chance. 

WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST BE THEMSELVES?

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." -Oscar Wilde

I am being completely honest when I say I could go on for pages about all of the things that are wrong with people and high school, but it would probably end up rude, offensive, and pointing at some of the people reading this right now. So, I won't. I want to, just like I want to hand out a lot of reality checks, but I won't. 

To conclude, I hope everyone has a blast this summer! Live on and be stupid like you're meant to be. Just don't be the idiot that jumps off the bridge during low tide screaming YOLO. That would be embarrassing. And sad. 

Until some other day that I decide to blog...

My Twenty Second Rant

Yes, I know. I haven't blogged in forever. You may judge me on my lack of "getting it together" if you must. 

It's finally the end of the year at school, and all that's left is a few days of finals and then we get the whole summer to be free! Now when I say free, I think of it as days at the beach, having a nice little job and getting to hang out with your friends and family all the time without the distraction of school work.

Well, that's what I thought. But all of a sudden, I have four books to read, programs to complete and papers to write- and a lot of them, too.

I do not like this. I do not like this. I do not like this.

Summer is supposed to be a break from school in which everybody can relax and have a good time without having to worry about getting an A+ on an assignment. I'd accept having maybe a few little projects to do, but having full out papers and ginormous books to read is plain old rude.

I understand that teachers want to keep our brains going during the summer, but assigning books, that are 400 pages long, on how to write a paper, is beating a dead horse. Not only is the majority of the class going to get bored with it during the summer, nobody is going to want to have work that goes along with it!

You'd think that the second teachers get back to school they're not going to want to have to correct an ungodly amount of papers. And they probably won't. You see, teachers have so much fun assigning work, but for some of them it's a miracle if the work is back to the students within a timely fashion. 

I do my homework. You do yours. 

That's enough of me bashing about what I know is good for me in the long run. Don't worry, I'll do my work.

I just wanted to touch upon one last thing before next Friday, when I'm officially out of school. This is more of a girly "boys are so stupid" rant, but it needs to be said. 

Now I know I'm not perfect just like the rest of the world. I also know that you can't force someone to like you (well, I guess you could, but good luck with that relationship). However, I do have eyes and I do know what is right in front of me. 

My twenty second rant: There is a boy at school whom I have liked for well over a year. (This is really hard because I don't want to say anything really stupid that could prevent us from being married- see, something like that, stupid). Not only do we have the perfect foundation for something more than friends, there's a ridiculous amount of people waiting for us to date/get married (yes, I'm one of them). I'm also the only girl in the whole world (besides his mommy) that gives a flying unicorn about him. 

He may think other girls do, but we all know they use him to get a good grade on their History test. (Which, by the way, is very rude).

Anyway, the mathematical equation would be:

                     Girl + Boy - Boy's Eyes = Boy Cannot See What Is Right In Front Of Him

It's the end of the year, and it's driving me crazy. So who knows, there's a very good chance I'll end up doing something silly. We shall see!

Hasta viernes, mis amigos.
