I just had some thoughts I thought I'd write down here! See if you girls agree!! biggrin
Ten years back we'd look into the future and imagine the exactly perfect life for us...
we woul be 16. And therefore, we would have a boyfriend.
A perfect boyfriend who never argued, who we would be with, but never really needed to love, or hate, or give up anything for.
Cause we were 6, and those things didn't exist to us!
Our locker would be neat, and our school would be colourful, clean and would always smell nice!!
We would always be friends with our best friends, and any drama would be fun like it is in the movies.
We would be in love with the jock, be brilliant and defy petty-minded cheerleaders.
As friends, we would go to the mall and shop with that unlimitted credit card! No one would drink, smoke, do any type of drugs--that would be reserved for the people who would never make it. Those dark faces you just stayed away from in alley places, and never had to know as more than that.
Life would be simple, satisfying and perfect. Nothing less than amazing!
But now we get there, and we discover that it is so much more than what we thought. We didn't make our 'perect boyfriend' benchmark. That unlimitted credit card ran out after oh...about 3 pairs of earrings. We lost some friends along the way to fights and moving. A lot of us were knocked off at bad decisions. We can't say we don't know who's selling, who's buying, and who can't go a day without. -- our conscience won't allow us to write off the years of friendship. But through this we learned that it means so much more. Our time here wasn't just to get through. We had to learn how to make it ourselves, and ended up pulling some people through things they didn't think they could. Those cheerleaders weren't silly. They didn't spend every moment fussing over their manicures, and underneath all the stereotypes they were just regular people, as scared as you. And that jock--he became your best friend in all the world, but it was the nerd next door you always wanted. You learned to love, to live, to appreciate the flaws in life. It wasn't anything like what you'd imagined it to be--but the real world was so much deeper, so much more real.
And I wouldn't trade it for the world. <3

Joojoo Bug Ah, I miss the days when I saw the world through rose-colored glasses... Over the years I've become more cynical, more perceptive, just...everything that comes with more experience, I guess. I'm not unhappy being a teenager. I mean, life is harder, but it's also more rewarding. When I was 7 I probably thought I'd have had at least my first kiss by now. Not so. xD I'm totally reserved when it comes to that kind of thing. And I'm picky.
True. Lol, and yes I hvae to say I'm pretty picky when it comes to boys too...but really, I would rather be like this, 16 and not first date, than to have given in too easily and missed out on the guy who's better than them all. |

Haha. Yess. High school is nothing like the Disney Channel portrays it.
My little cousins think my school life is full of friendly banter, shopping, easy As, and flirting with cute boys -- not hours of homework and studying, total sleep deprivation, job/scholarship-hunting, coming home sore as hell from water polo practice, and trying to find some valuable alone time with my boyfriend -- which, between all the sports and clubs and schoolwork, is sadly a rarity. And, surprise surprise, my boyfriend is a very bright and caring tri-athlete jock who's obsessed with Halo and (though he won't admit it) likes to watch sappy chick flicks. Not to mention that my best friends have straight As and take all AP classes yet aren't social rejects. (some of them being not stupid cheerleaders!!) Oh, and those band geeks? Yeah, most of us do actually have a life and seriously detest those dorky marching uniforms.
As a senior I've come to realize that high school and all its stereotypes aren't so black and white as Hannah Montana and High School Musical ("stick to the status quot")make it.

Satil I'm living the life I expected to. Satil ... but I did that to myself for getting a Master's in something "safe" rather than what I really wanted. |

I think that that's what she's saying.
Some people don't expect to do what they want to do. I want to be an actress, but I don't expect that I'm going to be one professionally.
Anyways, 10 years back, I don't remember too well. But, I have realized at a young age that, when you get older, the world isn't all sunshine and rainbows.
