I'm The Virgin Who's "Slept With The Whole School"

“Sarah did this, and Sarah did that, and you won’t believe what Sarah said to me today.”

To those of you that say high school will be the best years of my life, I so desperately hope you’re wrong because it was and is a battlefield on my mental sanity.

That my friends have become the epitome of my life. I was always told high school was hard, but I can’t believe it really is this hard for some people.

I thought senior year would be a breeze. It would be the best year of my life because after this I was done. I could leave. I could prosper, and I could run away from all the pain high school has caused me.

It didn’t matter what hurtful rumors have been spread about me, or the countless amounts of “hate groups.” It didn’t matter that my best friends were turning into ex-best friends. It would all be okay I thought, it’ll all be okay. Just so many more days…

BUT Y’ALL. IT IS NOT OKAY.

I am not a bad kid. I’ve never gotten drunk, I’ve never done any drugs, and I’ve never had sex. Sure…I’ve made some mistakes. I’ve done the wrong things in my relationships, or I’ve chosen the wrong relationships. Whatever it may be, I’ve messed up because I am not perfect. No human is.

However, as a freshman, I had a rumor going around about how I had aggressive sexual relations and my butt wouldn’t stop bleeding. As a sophomore, half my class thought I was sleeping with my best friend and the other half thought I was giving inappropriate sex acts to dudes in a parking lot.

Junior year my best friend and I got into a gigantic yelling argument; they put it on Snapchat and made jokes about it. And for senior year…well, they’ve saved the best for last.

I’m the class joke. I sneeze and I’m laughed at. I say one word and I’m made fun of. A teacher makes one comment about my grades, and I catch it for a week. This list doesn’t even contain the minor offenses or the things I don’t know. But trust me when I say it, I’m the most hated person in my class ask anyone in it, they’ll probably agree.

BUT IT IS NOT OKAY.

Kids are mean. They tease you because you’re a Christian, or they claim that you’re a slut. You could be the valedictorian, but you’re still a stupid white girl who doesn’t know anything.

This is why suicide rates in schools are high. Schools are not full of love, learning, and growth. They are full of hate, bitterness, and destruction.

I try not to gossip. I try to speak positivity, kindness, and compassion. I try to remove myself from drama, and I try my hardest to learn everything I can in school. I don’t want to be stuck. I want a better future for my kids and for me. I don’t want to go to hell. I don’t want to be miserable. I don’t want to become what this world is, and for that, I am tormented. I am broken. I am belittled.

No one deserves to be pushed to this point. It’s hurtful, it causes anger, and even the strongest people have trouble combatting it. Now imagine all of those who are mentally and emotionally weak.

I’ve been there.

I understand. I’ve faced depression, homelessness, neglect, abuse. My life has been very far from perfect, but I thank God every day for getting me through it.

They say you are the seven people you hang out with. So, who are you? Are you a Sarah? Or are you one of the ones that hurt Sarah?

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
