Venting (GG1 and GG2)

Lately I've been so unmotivated to go to school. Going to school means seeing people who I could care less about seeing for the rest of my life. Going to school means dealing with the people who just dropped you like you were nothing over something stupid. Going to school means dealing with all the bull crap that no one wants to deal with. I guess what I am trying to get at is being in high school is a buzz kill. Especially senior year, when all you want to do is graduate and actually start your life. I am so sick of people telling me how much of a negative person I am. I am not a negative person, and it is funny because the only people who actually say that, are the people who never see me outside of school. When I am not stuck in school I am a very outgoing, happy person. Of course I am not the happiest person, I do have those days where nothing seems to be going right, but most of the time I am pretty content. People in high school are so quick to judge, "Oh she doesn't do sports or participate in anything school related, she is such a negative person". It becomes ridiculous when you see people crying over the fact that high school is over. Your life hasn't even began yet, so why are you so scared to leave this place. It doesn't make sense to me. Why are people so hung up on high school? Maybe it is because high school was their glory days and they are afraid of reality. Because soon enough they are going to realize they won't be a hot shot in the real world. You actually have to work for what you want. Mommy and Daddy aren't going to be around forever to buy you nice clothes and nice cars. Eventually you are going to have to fend for yourself. Not everybody is going to like you, and in all honesty, I believe that that is why some people are so afraid of leaving high school. They are afraid of rejection or even failure. It is just such a huge reality check once people leave high school. Most of the time you are never going to see your high school best friend after high school. People go their separate ways and that is okay. Life after high school is so exciting, it is when you decide the life you want to live. You make your own decisions, you start your own life. In my opinion I can not wait to graduate high school and start my life. I love meeting new people and experiencing new things. People need to realize there is more to life than high school. A high school break up, isn’t the end of the world. Failing a class, isn’t the end of the world. Losing your best friend, isn’t the end of the world. Actually in high school people start to realize who their real friends truly are. Most of the time the truth is shocking, and of course it will be painful. Nobody ever said life was going to be easy, it is what you make of it. Graduating high school is important. It gives you the chance to become the person you’ve always wanted to be. Yes, growing up involves you actually having responsibilities. Growing up means doing what you want, but you actually have to deal with the consequences on your own. Growing up means maturing. Growing up will lead you to be the kind of person you want to be.  Moral of the story is, don't be sad about high school ending, your life is just beginning!
