I fucking dare you to give this to your professor.

God, one day, I swear. I know one of my teachers who would AGREE WITH ALL OF THIS. He preaches it to us everyday. He is my favorite teacher. I should give this to the counselors. Lord knows they need it.

Oh god the counselors... “Colleges don’t like it when you graduate early, sweetie, they want you to stay in high school for as long as possible. I don’t give a fuck if you have the credits.”--I wonder why they do this? Is it maybe because they’re getting TAX DOLLARS for every second I am inside that fucking building?

Most likely. Ratings of the school. They are trained, no, brainwashed, just like everyone else. They believe that there is only one way to be successful. God forbid you take a different pathway. God forbid you be an individual.

Because we weren’t bred to be individuals. That’s not what we’re here for. We’re here to be brainless livestock.

Exactly. My counselors and mentor, and so many adults close to me are shunning me because I am taking a year off between high school and college.

Fuck them.

^What I tell myself every time I think of them. My school is renowned for 98 percent of the graduates going straight to college. But what about being happy? What about LEARNING?
