High Expectations

You know what I don't get?
Why everyone who tells us what high school is like, they tell us it's amazing. They tell us that you were the best four years of their life! They tell us to have fun and enjoy it because it will be a great experience. They paint us this pretty picture of you, making it seem like it will be the most exciting and exhilarating experiences of our life! You know how people tell you about some new movie in the theaters? They tell you it's so awesome and you would be an idiot not to see it? They got all your expectations up high and once you see it your hopes are let down. Or a party you were so excited about? Turns out to be a waste of time. Or when your crush crushes your feelings? I suppose that's why they're called that... But You're kind of like that. 4 years of expectations being a complete let down. We are all fooled by the dances, cars, sleepovers, and the amazing moments that are held only on a screen. Maybe it would be different if they weren't so high ranked. If we didn't give you such a high label. I mean, it seems like some people's minds get stuck in the 4 years. Like, they think it's their whole life. 20 years from now you won't even remember all that happened. Everyone makes you a big deal?? why?? Why are you so important?
you are some messed up convoluting high expectation of high energized hormones of girls and boys trying to figure out life and who they are.
Someone would have to be harebrained to experience YOU all over again.

sincerely me
