Goodbye

It's been a good 4 (was it 4?) years, but I have to let you go and delete you from my bookmarks.

Karma

Usually I’m not that scared of spiders, unless they are super fast or they are huge. But today, I’m studying in the morning and I look up and there’s a spider crawling all over the ceiling, and now I’m scared. I mean this spider isn’t that big, but what happens if the spider decides he wants to fall on me? So every 2 minutes, I look up to see if it’s still there, what a waste of time. It then gets on the chandelier and I’m scared it’s going to come down, and then I shake it. That is when I noticed the second spider, I swear it just slingshotted there. I think to myself, why today of all days? The universe must hate me, or I have some really BAD karma. So now instead of studying, I’m staring at the (one) spider (just killed the other one), and blogging this. How productive, well I guess better than last night. So I’ve seen countless spiders, a caterpillar and loads of ladybugs. Should I be scared?

Shit, the spider's gone, it's not on the ceiling anymore. I don't think I can study anymore.

Before I go.

This girl is amazing. I think I love her. I've never heard of this song before, but she made me go youtube it.

Cute?

I'll puke first.

Waiting...

If you know me, I watch quite a lot of television. Most of them are about teenager's lives, gossip girl, one tree hill, the O.C., gilmore girls, smallville,veronica mars pretty little liars, glee and what not. Although I did not come from another planet (Krypton) I watched those thinking I can some day relate to those (in high school). Yet today's the last day of high school and I haven't really experienced much. Sure I've had crushes, drank a little, spoken to the cops and what not but not to the extremes in those shows.

Shootings, hooking up, getting into fights,going to jail, having sex all the time (maybe with more than one person), all the relationship drama or love triangles, no experiences with the same gendered sex, or having those crazy kegger/drinking parties, no road trips to mexico, getting totally wasted/overdosing, no talking to psychiatrist no pregnancy scares (tbh most of my friends haven't gone to first base,let alone having a baby), no long lost brother/sister showing up.

Are the things in the television show dougall boosted or do these things actually happen? I guess these things do happen, I just didn't hang out with that crowd (playing Never have I ever and discovered that some of those things mentioned above actually happen and hearing through the grape vines). I mean for most of my high school life I went to school and came home, I only went out very little and my mom didn't even let me sleep over at places, what made me think that the above would have happened. So what determines what a person does in high school, was it my parents, my age, my maturity, my friends? So having not experienced those things, I feel like my high school is more of a waste than anything I mean I have no cool stories to tell when I go to university, or if I ever play Never have I ever, well I guess I won't be drinking.

Then I think of the other kids of my school, kids who probably never drank at all or even dealt with anyone and barely went out, and wonder that must have been a boring 4 years.
I think I would really encourage my sister to live those four years of high school to the fullest and have fun but while still doing good in school and not totally ruining their life for their future.

To conclude this all I guess I didn't really have the "high school experience" and my high school life has actually been quite boring but I guess I have loads of other memories not necessarily possible if not done sober. So is not having the "high school experience" a good or bad thing?

Darren Cole

So, I like to think I'm involved in a lot of extra curriculars, SIA, Yearbook, Athletic Council, etc. However reading some of the stuff on student awards and Queen's Commerce Facebook page has made me feel less of myself.

Take this guy for example,


Darren Cole, founded his OWN charity, raising over $20,000 named top teen philanthropist, has built houses in China for a month and the list goes on. He has been on several radio stations and several television stations explaining and talking about his charity.
Going to Queen's, I'm scared that I'm going to feel less and I wonder how many more of these "Darren Coles" there are. I swear some probably own their own company already (on the upside these white rich boys aren't the ugliest) The only reason I think I made it is because of the scholarship I applied to where no one else applied.

Mentally Retarded

So, I was just chilling the other day and I found some old episodes of Mr. Bean and decided to pop it in. I remember watching these back in the days, and all I could think was "Is he mentally retarded." I couldn't tell, the stuff he does are hilarious, but is it making fun of retarded people? Just this voice in my head kept asking if he was mentally retarded, Merissa says that he has a social problem and I know it's a tv show but yeah....
I mean look at that picture and tell me he's not socially/mentally retarded.

Yearbook

So we got our yearbook today, and I have to say this yearbook is my style. I don't like the facebook/comic book crappy themes, that try to look good but look like a disaster. I like this years yearbook where their isn't a theme, but a simple yearbook, and doesn't have to fulfill the theme to class and make it look ugly. This is also the first year where the yearbook has come on time and I can actually get people to sign it, especially for grade 12.

Speaking of end of grade 12, it just hit me on how much closer we are to getting to the end. Signing people's yearbooks, I realize I've met many people, but only seen and know them from the surface, but on the other hand, for other people, I've had many to write about and lots of inside jokes to write about. Hopefully some of these friendships, I'll be able to keep through university and into the future.
