My High-School Experience

A week and a half left...

So, I guess to explain my high-school experience I guess I should go ahead and start a couple weeks early. 

Just like anyone else, I want to be able to hang out with friends before school starts because I know the next time I'll be able to do anything special with them is either Fall Break (if I'm lucky) or Winter Break. Spring Break is a huge maybe 'cause a lot of my friends leave on vacation, or around that time of the school year I'm so tired and exhausted I just sleep. 

So over the summer I try to get together with my friends if I can, and I did. In fact just last night I had a sleepover with 2 friends. One slept the other pulled an all nighter with me. That was an interesting experience. 

Yes...I am typing this sleep deprived please excuse any mistakes that might occur v.v 

So a week and a half left until school starts. That's a very depressing thought actually. 

Like, how did July go by in 3 days?? 

Now it's August 1st and school starts on the the 12th, good Lord help me. 

I get my schedule on Wednesday at orientation which means last minute school shopping for the next 4 years.

Yay...

Not really any different for the past 9 years but...still...

Yeah, for those of you who read my book for my last year at middle school, I tend to be late a lot. Last year I had to leave at 8:15 to catch my bus, well I always woke up at 8 or 8:05 every morning, so my morning's would be:

Get up

Throw on a pair of jeans and a sweat shirt

Maybe eat something

Pull on shoes

Brush hair

Grab bag, phone and violin

Run out door

That was the story of my life...every...single....morning, sometimes I'd be running even later when I can't find something. 

Now, for high-school, I'll have to start waking up at 6 since I'll be going to school early with Laura (TheArcticPenguin) since we'll have that ability. 

If I'm running late one day then I'll take the bus. I'll be a bus rider in the afternoon too. 

Oh yeah, buses, I HAVE 2 DIFFERENT BUSES NEXT YEAR. One in the morning and a different one in the afternoon. And my bus stop isn't where I'm used to it being. Which means I need to keep my eyes open for where my stop is.

For all I know I could get on the wrong bus and have to call my mom

Me: Heyyyy mooooom

Mom: Where are you?

Me: See...there's this thing called 2 different buses which is hard for me to keep up with and-

Mom: *sighs* Again Nik?

Me: I'M SORRY! OH MY GOD HELP ME I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM! I THINK THIS IS [blank] PARK! I DON'T KNOW ANYONE HERE I'M SCARED HELP MEEEE!

(I'm pitiful) 

What demented school gives a student 2 different buses, do they understand how annoying that is going to be? Do they understand I have bad memory? Who does that? Who? 

So bus aside, don't get me started on the school itself. It's huge and made of a maze. I can hear it now

Construction worker: You know what would be funny?

Construction worker 2: What? *le derp face*

Construction worker 1: *troll face* We should make the school layout confusing so students get lost and late to class and embarrass themselves

Construction worker 2: *le troll face* Let's do it!

*First day of school*

Me: I think math is this way

Friend: No I'm pretty sure it's this way

Me: Wait maybe it's this way

*Both go that way*

Me: Wait is this Health?

Friend: Crap now where do we go?

*45 minutes later*

*Door opens* 

Me: WE DID IT!

Friend: WE SURVIVED

Teacher: You're late!

Story of my life.

Literally the teachers told us when we got a tour "you WILL get lost".

So much encouragement...

Then I met my orchestra teacher and he goes "with as many years as I have been here I still haven't figured out the layout of this school". The freshmen are doomed. Just doomed, I can get to the orchestra room and the cafeteria (well gym too but the gym is right next to the cafeteria so meh).

So in other words I'm screwed. We took a tour of the whole freaking school and all I got was "this hallway leads to that hallway and that hallway can lead to this hallway and that hallways leads back to this hallway avoid this hallway go to that hallway don't die good luck" and yes...I did intend to make that a run-on sentence. 

MY BRAIN WAS SPINNING IN CIRCLES BY THE TIME WE LEFT

LIKE GAWD

WHY

I'M GONNA DIE ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

DEATH WILL HAPPEN

THIS BOOK WILL NOT BE USED

CAUSE IMMA BE DEAD

*clears throat* Okay, okay I'm good. 

No positive thoughts, I'm not calm, but I'm lowering my panicked voice.

Now, high-school is where all the cliches start happening. When I went to orchestra camp the upperclassmen were giving us a bunch of warnings like (and I quote) "whatever you do don't use the bathroom, you WILL get beaten up". 

"Over here in this general area is where all the, *makes quotes* 'goth' people hang out." 

"Avoid this place right here, you will get stuck in traffic which leads to pushing and shoving which leads to fighting which leads to trouble." 

And there's me sitting there like "all the cliches and school hasn't even started yet." What makes it worse is that my life is basically one huge cliche, and now I'm going into high-school. 

Do you understand my problem here?

I'm gonna run into a cliche and walk away from life in shame. 

So all-in-all, a lot of my friends are so excited to go to high-school and then there's me and like 2 friends who are saying "nopenopenopenope why? No, I don't want to keep it away from me." 

So this is going to be an interesting 4 years of my life. 

I hope you find it hilarious and cliche. 

Luv ya peeps
