I know I don't post in here very often anymore but after the first few weeks of my Senior year, I've realized something very important to all you fellow High Schoolers..
Popularity..what is it and who decides what's popular? To me, it's just a select group of kids who run every organization and are active in just about everything. "What was that you said Jerky? Clubs make people popular?"
To a certain extent, most of the people that are considered popular in school are usually involved in numerous activities. Sports, Drama, Student Council, Key Club, Newspaper, Yearbook..the list goes on and on. No no no..by no means am I saying this is what makes everyone popular. Some people just are. Let's face it. There are always gonna be a few naturals everywhere. But if you're one of those people that thrive on trying to become popular, I suggest you get more active in school and meet some new people. For example, this year I'm part of the Tatler(school newspaper) Drama Club, Wrestling, Key Club, Crimestoppers, NHS officer, and I help out with Student Council. Some of the people I used to think we're snobs and were just st00pid aren't actually that bad. And believe me, it does make you a lot more prouder and popular when you actually feel like you're apart from the school.
I used to tell myself, "Ya know, I hate school. It's soo boring." Geez, I wonder why..it's because I didn't do anything besides go to school and go home! It was a continuous cycle everyday.
Probably the biggest thing I've learned so far in my HS years is to cherish it. Believe it or not guys, these are the best years of your life. I know some of you would argue but I believe whole heartedly it's true. The countown to settling down and working a real job gets closer every minute. The real world isn't going to be kind and I'm not in too big of a hurry to jump in. So everyone, make an effort to make the best of your years in HS. You'll miss them later.
