Ugh, I hated high school. I was sooo bored and restless all the time. I think I must have cut out early at least once a week. I did just enough work to slide by. I was in a lot of extra curriculars until my senior year, by then I was so burnt out that I didn't want to do anything extra to keep me in the building. I had a group of close friends that I loved dearly, but for the most part, I felt like nobody got me.
My family lived in this teeny little town where everyone seemed to be just alike. There was a group of girls who always made fun of me because I changed my hair color all the time. None of my friends ever wore makeup, where as I had been wearing it since I could see myself in a mirror, so I got harassed for that too. My parents were middle class in an area that was very poor and other kids always made fun of me for things like having new clothes and getting a car when I turned 16. It was very depressing for me. My best friend was a girl who was very much like me, so we were just the oddballs together for a few years.
College was completely different for me. I loved it. I got to choose what I wanted to study and met loads of friends. I did much better with classes too. My best friends today are the ones that I met at university.
