I just finished my last day of high school. Well, aren’t any of you going to congratulate me? Where the hell is my cake? Or the graduation money that I specifically wrote in the invitation for each of you to bring? What a bunch of lazy bums. I can’t count on anyone, can I?
It’s funny. I started this blog before senior year, and I am still writing on it after senior year has ended; although–I am sure–there are some of you out there who wish I would have stopped this blog a while ago. Been a lot of changes to it since June, not all of them the best decisions I’ve made for this blog, but, you gotta give a guy props, right?
See, when I was sitting in my math class today, with the last high school final I will ever have to take, I thought about how silly high school is, and how when you get out into the real world, it is an insignificant part of your life. I know, it seems like four years would be memorable until you’re fifty, but, considering I’m getting up in my age at eighteen, I have a seasoned view of the world.
You look at the social class system in any high school, and you realize it could not have happened any other way. Put a bunch of hormonally charged teenagers under one roof, with authority figures they disrespect, making no one special-er than the other person, what else is gonna happen? They’re going to form cliques to make sense of the craziness of their school work, like those five page math homework assignments, or an essay due by Friday, assigned on Thursday.
People make it seem so damned important, when, honestly, it’s like being King of Shit Mountain. Sure, you have your toilet paper rolls, but none of that is going to wipe off the stuff on your shoes–it’s permanent, dude. And you stay up there long enough, the fumes’ll get to ya. Trust me, I–actually, I don’t know. I try to steer clear of the likes of Shit Mountain and Piss Lake, since, you know, they’re bad for my hygiene.
Anyways, on to college and a whole bunch of new experiences and yay-college-is-so-fun!
Geez, I hope college isn’t just a revamped high school…yikes.

Thank you for writing about your days at high school and your last day even which I know you must have waited for. We all have gone through these days. Like the saying goes “School days are the best days of our lives.” it is true! I have a 21 year old daughter who graduated last year from University. I know what you are going through. But my advice to you is to go further with your studies, take the courage and energy, you rather pick up the thorns now, while you are young, you will sure find Roses at the end of that journey, trust me. And keep writing your blog, don’t let it go, you may need it one day when you turn yourself into a profession, it will be a great place for you to share the next chapter of your life. You are sweet and keep up hope! All the best in your life, and good luck as you seeks new horizons!

Thank your for your response. I am happy for you, you reminded me of my daughter when she was going through that level of life. I think it is exciting at the same time. Good Luck with everything. You will win what you are looking for!
