Dear Nobody,

I regret to inform you of this fact, however, school is about to begin for most of us. Or it's already started. 

School
/hel/
noun

a place regarded in various religions as a spiritual realm of evil and suffering, often traditionally depicted as a place of perpetual fire beneath the earth where the wicked are punished after death.

That's my level of funny for this post. I'm currently in the Hell known as high school. I had the opportunity to leave the building and be taught from home due to medical issues. Let me tell you, it is both easier and harder being homebound. 

Let's go through the positives! I didn't have to deal with anyone in person that I didn't want to. I worked at my own pace which was faster than the classes. I had an amazing teacher who inspired me to pursue editing and took my grade in English and allowed me to end the year as high as possible. If I wasn't feeling well my teacher made sure not to over work me. I got to take a step back and actually look at my future. And lastly, I didn't have to wear pant's until my teacher came.

Cons. You never realize how truly stupid your teachers can be until you have to rely solely on email to contact them. It's incredibly easy to fall behind. TEACHERS FORGET THAT THEY DIDN'T GIVE YOU AN ASSIGNMENT. Shit gets lost. It's really easy to fall into depression. Possibly the worst thing is you can be completely abandoned by people you care about.

I'm going back to school this year and taking a subject that I have absolutely no interest in but I need it. I'm in Honors English because AP would be "too hard". Really the only thing I'm scared of is I have no friends in my grade anymore. I have a few in the grades below me but none of my classes are offered to them. So, the feeling of loneliness is creeping up on me. One of my classes, however, will be with someone who abandoned me and really hurt me and I'm kind of panicking. 

Basically... this year does not look positive. 

I have a huge crush on this girl and she's straight (but questioning [just kill me]) and I kinda want to run repeatedly headfirst into a wall. 

My plan this year that's going to last about 2.5 seconds- be quiet, pay attention, take notes, and don't sass the teacher.

My tips!

Reading under your desk is a great way to avoid paying attention, learn where you can get away with this. Writing your crushes name down at all is the stupidest most cliche trope of them all, don't. Write or doodle on the margins of your paper, a tree died for that shit use it. Don't sit in the back, don't sit in the front, sit on the floor, roll up, and cry. When in doubt read Harry Potter. If you want to know if anyone in your class is a nerd make an obscure reference, if they freak out, nerd. 

Thanks for listening to me,
