Normalcy?
So, I think that the whole normal thing is overrated. From senior superlatives to the homecoming court... Why such cliche people all the time? I predicted the exact people for everything. What ever happened to rooting for the underdog? Because rooting for the underdog gives me greater satisfaction. If they win, kudos to them. If not, good for them for at least trying and having been the underdog. But seriously, when I heard the names being read aloud for all such nominations I couldn't stop myself from groaning to my best freind seated beside me. It was everyone we thought it would be. They are all the same... How boring? Wait. Let me excuse myself. Cause if you were to ask them, they are all so unique with their senses of fashion and hairstyles and views/beliefs on the world today. I don't think they've yet to realize that even their 'unique' characteristics are still carbon copies of the person sitting to the right of them. Or at least the same as all 1183 of their 'friends'. And it doesn't get me upset or angry, it just makes me wonder... Why? Why them? What makes them so cool? But, I guess I can't really complain cause I love just being myself. Silly, sarcastic, loud, obnixous, determined, me. As once said by the brillaint Dr. Suess "Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you."

I absolutely agree. For superlatives I had no intentions of winning anything nor did I have a longing to be homecoming queen. I feel like there are so many deserving people in our school for those sorts of things, and yet out of the 431 students in the senior class the same 30 people win everything. At homecoming when I looked down at that little yellow sheet of paper and read the names off I was tempted to put the paper back down and skip out on voting. Our senior class is so divided. I went to the South vs. East game this year. A lot of the seniors were there. I was standing with a huge group of mostly seniors towards the bottom of the bleachers. I was with all sorts of people who I knew but was never really good friends with. I felt so accepted and comfortable cheering for our school with them. A couple rows above us was that group of the 30 people that win everything. It shouldn't have been like that. We are the senior class. It's not a big school. We should have all been together, unified, cheering. It's just so crappy, but this is the way it's been. What can we do to change it, right?
