The anticipation of Summer breezes and swimming pools is too much to bear when you’re sitting inside of school in the cool thin air. The day is coming, so close but so far!
May 24th is the day for me, when sophomore year comes to a close. This past year i’ve learned a lot, not only educational lessons, but also life lessons. Here are a few lessons i’ve learned;
- Most of the friends you have will distance themselves from you very often. But they still love you just as much as they did.
- Finding a job is really hard, especially as a 15 year old in sophomore year when everyone else is 16. (eye roll emoji)
- Some days are harder than others. I know it feels as if you need to lash out at somebody, but that is a REALLY bad idea.
- The end of the school year is when you really just don’t care anymore and you cry hysterically at everything. The worst part about it is that it’s the most important and crying hysterically won’t do anything to help.
- Homework takes FOREVER. but it’s best to conquer it slow and steady, because that’s who wins the race in the end. 😉
- Being nice to people really isn’t that hard. Just a smile in the hallway can make someone feel better.
- On the contrary, people are really rude. I try to be nice to pretty much everyone but most won’t be nice back.
- Finally, social “groups” don’t mean anything when you get out of school. Especially after you graduate. Even the populars aren’t popular after school. Being popular in school won’t automatically earn you a college degree.
Anyways, I just hope Junior year is a little easier than this year was. I will carry these lessons with me throughout the rest of my life, or at least high school. No matter what I have my own back, and that’s all that matters to get me through.
