I want to make sure that any young high schooler understands that they don’t have to have their college applications and all of that stuff done during their junior year. I love the gang but they are wrong about this. As someone who literally graduated early I did not have any of my applications done until my senior year and I do not know a single person that did. You should make sure you are taking your classes seriously and start beefing up your extra curriculars and do your college essay. Also during your junior year maybe check out a couple of colleges that interest you and do some research especially during the summer. The mindset that everything has to be done in your junior year is unrealistic. No hate to the gang but I want to make sure that nobody gains unrealistic and unreasonable expectations for themselves and their goals. ❤️❤️❤️

Senioritis is hitting SO BAD. I actually spent the whole day doing nothing in school, got home, watched Challengers for the second time this month, had a little (5 hour) nap and now I’m just finding out about a GODDAMN CALC EXAMN I HAVE TOMORROW AT 7 AM. 😕

Life is NOT good.

yall senioritis is real i thought the seniors last year were just being weak but they were just being HONEST

Watching a barely surviving Junior develop Senioritis is like being chained while your kid is dying of a common fever in the 1700s.

Girl, in your little personal ecosystem and economy... you can't afford this luxury.

Back to the damn mines with you.

Y’know I’ve always heard people talk about senioritis but I never truly understood how BAD it gets until now. Like every weekend that passes the idea of skipping school sounds more and more appealing… how am I supposed to do this for another three and a half months 😭😭

Be like my principal and drink more caffeine 🫠

Rant or Trauma Dump: Overblot Leona is Relatable as a Student in American Public School

Will keep this short as possible

Abstract: Leona's trauma = shared trauma but (American) 12th grader student edition. I share my experience. Am I allowed to say it's my trauma when it's just resentment?

Work count: 585

Leona expressed strong resentment at the idea of birth > skill so why r bother trying? Nobody cares. I understood it from a story writing standpoint at first then this came to me and I felt things.

Not sure how common this is around the globe but I went to an American public school for high school/secondary school education (why do I sound like a foreign exchange student haha) and every week of/before homecoming or winter break or some major event, there’s spirit week in which each grade level compete with themed outfits, lunch time activity\games, and assembly games. Win enough points to beat the other grade.

Off topic but my school’s Assembled Student Body have zero creativity for lip sync and themes because why do they keep doing Marvel and Disney? I might as well think we’re sponsored by Disney because we could’ve had HTTYD or Wonder Woman for crying out loud. Also there was a spirit day for “hype beast” in which you wear the high end stuff like Supreme. Well, I was bullied in elementary school for being NOT high income so I held resentment for those things.

Freshman year (9th grade), I did my best but we came in last place. Seniors won. Sophomore year, I felt bad for the freshmen who tried harder than us last year and they lost. Their side was decked out in white, it looked like Big Bear. Seniors won. Junior year, I figured it out it was pointless. Seniors won. Then came our turn. I noticed it. My fellow seniors would not bother trying because they knew they’d win anyway or would cheat the system like raising their hands for points even though they’re not wearing anything spirit (sometimes they be counting shoes). I hated it. I hated it more when the senior favoritism happens before your eyes.

Every winter assembly, there should be a sled race where one player is in a cardboard box and another pulls. Seniors never pull because their box has a giant hole so they can stand up and run to the finish line like a Grinch. I never saw that my senior year. Every assembly ever, there’s supposed to be a clapping game similar to Simon Says. The freshman are always duped on the first “clap” and the seniors don’t even play the game, it’s an applause! A standing ovation even! Even the seniors get to win the lip sync battle every time. Makes me wonder if they could stand in the corner then still win first place. In elective and math (above Algebra 1) classes, you would find mixed grade levels so not sure how much the point-counters scrutinize. They are not nit picky with seniors. If you raise your hand, we don’t check. Below seniors? They check. Yet, I think the cronyism is the main problem.

Seniors don’t need any skill set. They just need to be that class and bam, easy win. Any other class could try as they might and never win. I hated it more when people say, “let them win, they’re graduating.” Might as well give them all passing grades, senior year is the easiest anyways. No worries about senioritis. All the teachers love you because you’re mature baby-adults and about to leave. Hate the freshmen because they’re the hooligans. Let’s bully the freshmen.

Conclusion: Leona is relatable in the birth order > skill set resentment and not trying hard if nobody cares, because of the high school seniors favouritism I witnessed during spirit week.

Second week back at school got me like
