so uncool it's cool.

High school is this place where you get to meet all these new people. But high school is also this place where it stops you from meeting all these people because maybe they don't wear the right clothes or speak up in class or in general or aren't ranked as high as you are on the social food chain. Maybe this is only making sense to me but there are so many people I have gotten to know this year that I had never even seen before and it is incredible how many underrated people there are at this school. Its incredible how many overrated people there are too. But I think underrated people are my favorite people, because they are so cool and they are so oblivious to it that they don't get a big head and you don't wake up one day and suddenly they are "too cool" for you. You can trust underrated people. And they are almost like your secret cool people and suddenly high school is okay, because you don't compare yourself to all these cool people with their cool friends anymore. Because you've got all your secret cool friends and you feel sorry for all the cool kids because the don't even know what they are missing out on.
And then you graduate.
And then you have to leave your best friend from sixth grade.
And then you go from seeing her almost every single day to maybe once or twice a month on Skype.
And then you promise to write.
And then you don't.
And then  it's seven in the morning and you're 30 years old, making yourself a smoothie before you go to work at the office and your suddenly remember that one time you ditched school and went to Wendy's and they gave you a free burger, or that one time you went to a party in the woods, or that other time when you tried being a vegetarian and didn't even last a full day.
And then you call in sick for work and spend the rest of the day laying on your couch wondering why you were so worried about grades and why you didn't cause more trouble and why you didn't talk to that cute boy sitting across from you.
And then you remember your 30 and this is your life now, and adults don't go to parties in the woods or worry about grades.
And then you wish you had done more in high school. Wish you had talked to more in class and tried more things and worried less and smiled more.
But mostly you wish you had stayed in touch with all those people who used to make you feel so alive.

High school is this place where you get to meet all these new people.
High school is this place where by the time you get to know all of them, you have to leave.
