Writer's Block: Back to School

[partly]

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I would never go to high school again. Don't get me wrong, I didn't hate high school; I don't have any bad memories of it and I do have some good ones. But I would never want to be in that limbo of child/adult again. I would never voluntarily go back to that crazy emotional state that comes from being a teenager. It's hard enough being a parent of a high schooler and I'm only getting the crazy second hand.

Quite frankly, I don't know how anyone survives high school. I certainly don't know how anyone does it when they have chaos in their home life.

I like being an adult. You may have to work for everything you have, but no one can tell you that you can't stay up all night playing video games or that you can't go to a midnight movie. You don't have to ask permission to get a new dog or buy sea monkeys. You can put whatever you want up on your walls and go fishing every weekend.

Take it from me, adulthood is way cooler than high school.

I spent virtually all my time in high school wishing I were elsewhere. Thankfully there were a couple of classes that held my attention, including one that convinced me I was a creative; but in the main it was nothing but a prison.
