Big Fish. Small Pond.

This year is unbelievably depressing. I can't believe how it's as though we, as Grade 12's, are treated in no different respect or regard as we were last year. The only thing that has changed is that this year counts and everybody knows it. I don't want to have to do anymore work than what I had to do last year, I don't want to have to deal with the fact that this year decides my future, but we all have to. If we don't work hard or care about our grades, we'll end up coming back or working in some dead-end job that never goes anywhere.

With age comes responsibility. Responsibility sucks cock. It's very unfortunate that we all have to accept the fact that we're getting shafted with responsibility. "R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B-I-L-I-T-Y" it's a big word, you can feel the shafting. If we're going to start being treated as adults, we have to act like them and we have to take responsibility for our own actions and the consequences that come with that. I can't get over the fact that I have to finally accept responsibility. For the past 17 years of my life, I, as well as everybody have been delaying the acceptance of this responsibility.

Along with that procrastination I've procrastinated actually working hard in school. "So what if I do poorly now? I'll work hard when I get to Grade 12." Well the time has come and I'm having a hard time getting used to it. Nobody ever really wants to grow up, it just happens. You either take it now and embrace it, or wait until you're thrown into the world and have to deal with it anyway. I just want to get this year over with, I'm gonna have to work hard and be a lot better in my studies than I was last year. For the sole reason that if I don't, and same goes for everyone, if we don't, we'll end up back in this hell hole for another year WITHOUT our friends.

I wish there was an easier way to do this.
