Terribleness

So we meet again, dear readers. It's been some time, hasn't it? High school is a little bit more time-consuming than planned.

Pictured: my life expectancy.

Apologies for my extended absence. There's a couple things I'll talk about later that'll cover why, but I think you committed readers out there are due an apology nevertheless. I'm super uber sorry for being a doo-doo head and not posting in forever.

...lest you need reminding...

Here's a little insight into how I make a post: I can usually just sit at a computer for a few hours and knock out whatever's on my mind. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, this has had to change a little bit. I have to plan ahead (*wipes tears away*). This post had a draft. No, I'm not kidding. I sat on the couch with a notebook while Jeopardy was on, listened to some music, and planned what I am writing (typing?).

I'd like to thank my family...

Anyway, I have a burning need to share some stuff about high school with you. Particularly, terribleness There's a great big terribleness  all over high school that I keep on seeing everywhere.It's not really what you're probably thinking it is. All that bullcrap they feed to you about 'high school is whatever you want it to be' is sorta getting to me. I don't intend to sound judgemental or anything, but if you expect yourself to have a terrible 4 years, it pretty much happens like that. However, if you set high expectations for yourself, nobody is stopping you. High school is supposed to be big imposed soial hierarchy with your stereotypical jocks and cheerleaders at the top, and freaks n' geeks at the bottom, but it isn't. It's the first time since a while back where things are changing. People want to be outgoing. People are courageous, willing to branch out. But anyway. Back to terribleness (terocity?). People are shutting themselves down more too. It's bittersweet. That group of kids who look at high school like a bowl of cold mashed potatoes don't understand that this is very real. If you expect high school to be something, it will be. If you are terrible, you expect high school to be terribleness, and it will be. You have to believe that something, anything, great will happen.

Terrible worms blossom into terrible butterflies.

I've set some high expectations for high school, and I hope everyone else has too. Having an optimistic attitude is key to enjoying high school.  Heck, being positive is the only way to skate by sometimes. Having a good outlook is really the only way to have a pleasant 4 years.

Anyhoo, that's the first 'actually-drafted-and-proofread' post of Makin' A Blog. I would especially like feedback about this whole shebang, if you could. That's all.
