Freshman Blues

The first week as a freshman was terrible. I dislike it…very much. I had so much expectations for high school and maybe it’s too early in the school year to judge, but for now, it sucks. I had so many family members that said “High school will be the highlight of your life,” but it doesn’t seem that way. And I’ll admit, the first day of school was fun, but honestly it was the same as middle school for me. I was lost multiple times, looked for my friends at lunch, went over syllabi and finally, I went home. I mean yeah, it’s exciting, more people, more classes, and a bigger school. But school is school. Nothing has changed.

Maybe I just had too high of expectations that high school would be more like the movies and I know it sounds silly, but it’s true. In real life, Troy Bolton doesn’t burst out singing unfortunately. But school isn’t meant for fun in my opinion. School is meant for learning. And I AM learning. But that’s all I’m doing IS learning. And people who have already attended Poly said that “If school is so basic, join a club or a sport because it will make your years here more fun.” But honestly, I joined a sport and my feelings about it is “it’s cool and all but whatever” (not to sound unappreciative or anything) and who has time for a club? Not me.

Not to mention, my close friends don’t attend Poly high school so so there goes another con. Not to diss on Poly or anything, it’s a great school, but maybe not for me. Or maybe I am just thinking more about the cons than pros because I miss summer and I miss being lazy. Yeah that’s most likely it. I would much rather stay home and sleep in than wake up at 6 o’clock in the morning and attend school for eight hours. But who doesn’t? And at the same time, I want to have a stable job and a stable family in the future so I guess sleeping in all day  isn’t an option.

And it’s not like I’ll stop going to school or ditch just because I don’t like it. High school is still important if you want to go to college and get that dream job. That’s one pro I guess, but currently, high school still sucks.
