speech-less

No it's not that I'm at a loss for words. I just forgot to tell you guys that I didn't win the graduation speech. Obviously I'm a little bit bummed out, but as long as Josi or Krohm won I won't be too upset. Sure I would've loved to speak for our class as a whole, but you can't always get what you want. (Or at least that's what  Rolling Stones tell me.)

Looking back I'm not sure me speaking for our class as a whole would've been proper seeing as how I don't really care for our class as a whole. I'll miss most of our class, but that's only because each person plays some sort of role in my life.

First off I have my best friends who I keep around for the obvious reason that I love them.

Then there are the kids I don't really notice or who don't really affect me at all. I'll miss those kids because they've never bothered me, they just went about their business and it just so happened that our paths never crossed. You need kids like that because they keep everybody sane.

Then there are the kids I say I hate but in reality they just annoy the hell out of me and I don't hate them, just dislike them. These are the kind of kids you will miss only because you've become so accustomed to being annoyed by them that you'll have to find new people that annoy you. I can name several dozen of these kids off the top of my head. Luckily, contrary to popular belief among most of my classmates, college is full of just as many "fake" people as high school.

Kids are always saying, "I can't wait to get to college, kids here are too fake," or better yet, "I can't wait to get to college to meet new people, the people here are immature as hell."

I hate to break it to you guys, but where the hell do you think all the annoying, immature, "fake", kids from other schools go after high school? .......they go to college too.


College is going to be full of just as many "fake" people. Sure it isn't like high school where you're in the same building as them for six hours, but in reality you live on the same campus as them, 24 hours a day.

Hell, college is going to be great. But I refuse to look forward to college because there will be "more mature" people there, or because I'm tired of "these high school kids."

I look forward to it for other reasons. Like making something of myself. Like getting a degree that will get me a job. Like gaining enough knowledge and contacts to make a career out of writing. Sure I'm looking forward to meeting new people, who wouldn't be? I've come to accept the fact that college will be filled with self righteous, tool bag, materialistic people just like high school is.

The one thing a classmate of mine said in a tweet that I agree with wholeheartedly is this, "Everyone in high school is an emotional pussy." Not the most eloquent way of putting it, but it is by far the truest tweet I've ever read. 


If you don't believe that, just check most high school kid's tweets. I'm not marking myself as exempt because I'm sure that from time to time I'm an "emotional pussy." 


I'm not sure what the purpose of this blog was. Maybe to show people that everyone plays some part in our lives. Maybe it was to convince people that college if full of idiots too. Maybe it was just to vent. Maybe it's something much deeper and more philosophical...


You're right, it definitely isn't that.
