Here's what I've taken from my short 17 years here in the world...
We spend 6 years in elementary school getting ready for middle school.
3 years in middle school preparing for high school.
Then we spend 4 years in high school.
We take the PSAT's to prepare us for the SAT's.
The SAT's help get us into college.
We go to college to figure what we're supposed to do with the rest of our lives. That's 22 years of our lives already GONE.
After college we're expected to find a job, marry, have kids, and have our kids repeat the same cycle.
Can I ask where living our lives pressure free is supposed to come in?
Yes, you are short and 17 years old.
ReplyDeleteI had some serious $ in Elementary school. I played with my 'doh all day long.
3 years is like a life sentence. And there isn't any pressure. All you do is learn about sex.
Those 4 years are important. Drugs and alcohol become more accessible each year, and occasionally you get a kick ass teacher. Clearly, I mean Ms. Ivey.
These tests sound like a Volkswagen weight loss ad:
"The PaaSAT was fat and had to COP a SquAT in the middle of his game of Golf. "
If all you did was SAT, you wouldn't get anywhere.
NObody figures out what they want to do until after college when they reapply with a different major. Don't you watch Community?
After you graduate, and sober up, you find that your diploma will become a convenient impromptu diaper for your fat, and unsophisticated baby while on a road trip across Nevada. FYI- Never go to Nevada. All they have is corn.
Well, if you would shave your head, maybe you would feel lighter.
That's all I've got.
