To The People Who Aren't Considered "Smart"

I am writing this because I feel this way a lot and I bet some people feel the same way. At my high school, we have different classes based on your academics. So it can vary from "English" to "Humanities" where it is english and history combined because you can manage both in one class. If you're in humanities, you're automatically looked at as the smartest students ever because you have been chosen for this program and other kids can't be in it.

To the kids who aren't in the humanities programs, AP classes, honors classes, or etc,

You are smart. You are important and no matter what class you are in, you make a huge impact. I'm tired of hearing that "just because I'm not in AP classes means I won't go to a good college" or just because "I am not in an honors class, so people are going to think I'm stupid." Just because you may be in a lesser english or history class, does not mean you are stupid or dumb. Even if your not in that class, you may an "honors" artist, athlete, debater, singer even though you may not be an "honors student".

So, even though you may not be in those "honors" classes, you are so smart and you'll succeed no matter what class you are in.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
