To all you people who had a rough time in high school because you were your quirky beautiful self, didn't acquire "fake friends", wasn't the class clown and enjoyed learning, didn't share your homework, wasn't athletic, wasn't prom queen, etc.
WHO CARES? THOSE 4 YEARS ARE OVER!
YES. THAT'S RIGHT. TAKE IT IN. BREATHE IN THE FRESH TASTE OF FREEDOM.
YOU. ARE. DONE. WITH. HIGH. SCHOOL.
I want you all right now to thank your lucky stars, and every 11:11 wish you ever made, that you didn't peak in high school. Take it from somebody who just finished her freshman year of college after coming out of a high school where I literally had two good friends, and was surrounded by people who spent more time judging me than talking to me.
I GOT NEWS FOR YA
YOUR LIFE IS ABOUT TO GET SO MUCH BETTER!!!
Once you leave the four walls of your tiny community you were forced to call home for 4 years, you meet your people.
The people you can sit in a room with for more than 4 hours without getting annoyed with them.
The people that talk to you, and don't find it weird to compliment you.
The people who you can become friends with one wild night downtown.
The people who wipe your tears, know how to make you laugh, sit in the library with you for 8 hours, sing on the top of your lungs with you, and dance with you.
The people who have random dance parties at 3 a.m. with you.
You begin to find your place in the world.
Instead of sitting through 45 minutes of geometry, when you definitely don't want to be a mathematician when you're older, you get to sit in hour long classes WITH PEOPLE WHO DON'T CRACK IMMATURE JOKES IN THE MIDDLE OF CLASS, ANNOY EVERYONE, AND DISRUPT THE CLASS learning about something that sparks your interest!
As a criminal justice and philosophy major (because apparently pre law isn't a real major), I hated learning about the Pythagorean theory and proofs. I fell asleep 15 minutes into class. BUT MAN LET ME TELL YOU, I took 2 criminal justice classes and 1 philosophy class last semester and my grades skyrocketed, and my passion flourished. BECAUSE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL YOU CAN TAKE WHATEVER CLASSES YOU WANT, AND STUDY WHATEVER YOU WELL PLEASE
HOW GREAT IS THAT!
You begin to feel purpose.
People start to rely on you.
Internships start to make you feel intelligent and useful.
The people who bullied you in high school are nothing.
They do not matter to you anymore.
You become better and happier than them.
You win.
LIFE BECOMES SO MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL WHEN YOUR LIFE BEGINS AFTER HIGHSCHOOL!!!!!! I HOPE YOU'RE ALL SO EXCITED TO START THE FIRST CHAPTER OF YOUR NEW LIFE AND LEAVE THE PAST IN THE PAST!
