Sometimes people really piss me off. Especially when they constantly tell me how they don't like my friends and their reasons are entirely fucking untrue. I'm tired of being surrounded by a few people that always manage to find the bad in my decisions concerning friends and school and life in general. You don't like my friends? It doesn't fucking matter; they're my friends, not yours. You think I should take this class instead of that one? Fuck you and stop acting like my decisions concerning my high school schedule are going to affect my life in any way, adverse or otherwise. In talking to people about school, I have realized that I am the one that gives school more power over me than it deserves. I didn't have to write these essays, I just made myself think that because they have been brainwashing me since I went to my first day of preschool. When teachers convince people that the only way to be successful is to go to a 4 year college, they are lying. Their definitions of success and happiness are skewed and jaded. They measure their success in dollars because that's how they measure their happiness. I don't want my job to define my life. I want to have a job that doesn't make me miserable and that gives me enough money and free time to enjoy the millions of beautiful experiences this world has to offer. There are certain people out there that need to go to a 4 year to do what makes them happy and I respect that, but it just isn't for me. I still might take AP though, if only because most of the people that I like are going to be in there.
Question of the Day:
Do you have one thing that you really want, but don't have because maybe you're too scared to reach out and grab it? (Keep it clean)
Just gimme a scene where the music is free
And the beer is not the life of the party
There's no need to shit talk or impress
'Cause honesty and emotion are not looked down upon
And every promise that's made and bragged
is meant if not kept
