Oh honey, he's teasing you. Nobody has two bathrooms.
I can't see why they would add two toilets during construction..
The greatest country on this God-given Earth is obviously The United States of America. The only thing wrong with it is our liberal-biased media and the socialist that I have to call "President". [/REALAMERICAN]
Usually, it's natural for me to rack up posts. But since my post count is right below my Avatar I was forced to take it competitively
And my gear grinder is my life in high school. I'm in 8th grade. I'm on my 2nd semester. There is only 4 months left of school. The transition will be hugely major. High school finally gives the students a choice to follow their dreams, however not one runs every career field. So many will have to split to different dedicated high schools to make their dreams possible. And this, is what I'm afraid of. Not just the separation, but also my grasps into adulthood, and the obstacles that will be effective once I land on campus.
rb26xHigh school is awesome, it's just so much more independence. If you can't handle that, you will have trouble, as I slack when I try to motivate myself. But still, it is more independent and suited to your choices, so I think the responsibility is well worth it.
So, yesterday at school, we were all forced to attend this presentation called "Not My Kid" (No idea why it's called that). Our school makes us attend these things periodically throughout the year; they're usually about bullying and cyber-bullying, and one was about drugs and alcohol. This presentation was about depression. The presentation was very interesting; listening to the speaker's life story was intriguing but a bit scary, too, but the end really ground my gears. At the end of her big story, the lady says,"And so then I gave my life to Christ, and I've been so much happier since." No, no, no, you have it all wrong, lady, depression can't just be cured by taking up a religion and worshiping some random guy. No, depression is a serious thing; it can't be cured, at least not completely. No, you need good medication to clear it up somewhat, but saying that religion helped you get over it is a bunch of bull. You don't just get over depression, ok, lady? You obviously either take medication that helps, or you simply weren't depressed, but rather just unhappy with life itself. Some people are such idiots, and claiming that religion is the way out is bull, especially when it's being said to somebody like myself, who isn't exactly pro-religion. Geez...
^This. Is why I can't stand America. The only person that can cure your depression is yourself.
So true.
This is grinding my gears when I can't find the post I need to quote, but pretend I quoted the quote that rb26x did, this is what I'd say: High school seems scary. If you don't do it right, then it is. What do I mean? If you cut yourself off, and don't join some sort of club or group, you will be lost and depressed. Hell I joined a club and still feel lost, like I need to do more.
Don't screw off. I'm a freshman in a class with a lot of sophomores and they think I'm nerdy because I'm a year ahead. Well acres what they say. You said a lot about careers, well do good and you can get almost any career you want. Don't slack because you want to fit in. It's four years, and you will be able to deal with 4 years of crap so that you can get a good job when you grow up.
Those people who make fun of me for being smart grind my gears. I'm just a normal person. So what if I get A's and don't smoke weed like the 'cool' kids.
Oh ya, don't do drugs either Technicolors. High School provides several tempting opportunities for that.
This. My friend used to do drugs. The best advice he ever gave me was, "Don't do them. They 🤬 up your life and don't make you cool." 👍Oh ya, don't do drugs either Technicolors. High School provides several tempting opportunities for that.
