What is up my twig squad! In this blog I want to give 10 quotes that summarize what my school year has been like.
Quote 1: “You are the reason I wake up every morning, lol just kidding I have school.” When I was single the reason I would get out of bed on the daily was to get ready for school, otherwise I would wrap myself up like a taco and not get out of bed for most of the day.
Quote 2: “Dear teachers, please stop making us sleepy we have no bed in class.” This is not true for ALL teachers but to the teachers who pile on homework and give us a quiz on Wednesday and tests every Friday with homework every single day of the week, yes I have a teacher or two like that, this quote applies to those teachers. Ever since school has started my sleep schedule has been everywhere, my mom even had to put me on these special vitamins because when I get home after school I crash and then I’m up late studying or doing homework.
Quote 3: “Popularity gets you nowhere after high school” Honestly, my mom warned me about clicks and popular groups and bullies and stuff at high school but over all there isn’t much of that at my high school. If anything I have made countless new friends who have become more like a second family and nobody really competes for popularity. Maybe its just this high school or maybe its just who I hang around but yeah.
Quote 4: “In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson.” Too bad in school we have to study our butts off and compete for the highest overall average.
Quote 5: “You know, sometimes kids get bad grades in school because the class moves too slow for them. Einstein got D’s in school. Well guess what, I get F’s!!!” Just a question, how come in school I can stay up and study through the night but still never pass the tests given. How is it I make C’s and D’s in classes I turn all my work in for? I just don’t understand it?
Quote 6: “Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.” If this is true why do teachers tell you a day or two before a test over the stuff you’ve only been learning for a day or two. See, I just don’t understand grades.
Quote 7: “You can drag my body to school but my spirit refuses to go.” My stepdad always tells me school isn’t meant to be fun. But the problem with that is everyone wants to have fun so if we made school a little more fun, more activities and less sitting at a desk with a pen and paper and dozing off to sleep from sleep deprivation then maybe, just maybe students would learn a thing or two. Like memorizing definitions word for word is so boring but you turn into a song or a short skit or scene then it makes it just a little more fun to ‘get into character’ and a little more fun to memorize.
Quote 8: “it’s back to school time. or as home-schoolers call it, stay-where-you-are time.” For real though. Its like as soon as 3:30 hits to leave school we can all go home and do more school. It seems like school is following me everywhere. When I get home from school I have “homework” which is also just school work. When my friends ask me to go out, sorry I cant I got to finish my homework. Honestly though school is so time consuming. Ever heard of the quote 9: “SCHOOL, Seven Cruel Hours Of Our Lives!” I feel like its more than seven, Seven hours at school, yes but plus the hours of studying at home and doing homework its more like fourteen or more cruel hours of our lives.
Quote 10: “Sometimes, it’s better to bunk a class and enjoy with friends, because now, when I look back, marks never make me laugh, but memories do.” If this year has taught me anything it is that the point, of my life at least, is to be happy. My friends make me so happy and spending time with my family and getting to know them better is so much better than making an A on the test tomorrow that at the end of the day wont even matter because mid-term and EOC and finals can bring your grade down from an A to a C in two seconds or a C to an A so tell me what is the point? I mean don’t get me wrong I still try but I have decided not to let school run my life. I will fit study time into my schedule where it fits and if there is no time then thirty minutes in the mornings after I wake up will have to be enough study time. I’d much rather I rule my life then school. Just my opinion though. Keep on Twiggin.
TWIG OUT!
