It's troubling to see how many students these days have absolutely zero school pride. They don't bother about their community, they don't engage in activities, and they just seem apathetic. It's like they've disregarded what it means to be part of a team and cheer for their fellow students. This lack of passion is negative to the entire school environment.

This Beanie Is Off

Man, this cap just won't cooperate! I'm struggling to adjust it, but it still feels small. Maybe my head is just not meant for this. I guess it goes to show you that sometimes things don't work out.

This Isn't My Old School

When I see the words "alma mater|my old school|the place where I learned}", it doesn't spark feelings of warmth and nostalgia. For me, it's a vague concept. Maybe because my experience there were so different, or perhaps I simply haven't had the time to reflect. Whatever the reason, that phrase doesn't carry the same meaning for me as it does for others.

It's not that I haven't appreciated my time at school. It was a period of growth, just not one that feels familiar in the way many people describe.

Perhaps it's because I made my passions beyond the traditional school setting. Or maybe it's because my memories are defined by different experiences. Whatever the case, "Not My Alma Mater|My School Is Different|This Isn't My Old School", and that's perfectly okay.

I Am Bleeding Blue

The realm doesn't understand that I exude a different hue. They stare with disgust as I reveal the truth of my existence. My blood is a sign of {somethingdifferent that they can't perceive. They label me as alien, but I am simply different.

Seriously, school/the whole idea of/that thing they call "school spirit/spirit week/pep rallies" is about as appealing/relevant/interesting to me as a moldy sandwich/root canal/trip to the dentist. I'd rather be practicing my guitar/reading a good book/taking a nap than wearing my school colors and chanting slogans. Just let me learn and be
