Strict Parents

Why are parents so strict and why do we have to struggle?

Strict parents only create sneaky children.

1. Most of the time you can't get away with anything. I mean yea we're sneaky but they always have some type of person out there that with go "tattle tale" on us.

2. Relationships are nonexistent. "When you graduate high school." What they actually mean is never, don't even speak of it or think about a relationship at all.

3. Sleepover, what are those? And I quote, "Why do you want to sleep over someone's house don't you have a bed here at home?" 😐

4. What's a social life?

5. This is for all the people with siblings, "You have to bring your sister/brother with you." "But they're like half my age and I want to hang out with my friends." "It's either you bring them or you're staying home and cleaning the whole house."

6. School is literally your Hunger Games. If you have anything below an A, R.I.P.

7. Having an attitude with your parents is like your asking for them to kill you.

8. Going out to eat turns into the biggest lecture about how you should be saving your money for college and all future expenses.

9. Your safe haven is your room in the corner pretending to do homework.

10. Everything is a struggle honestly.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
