Back to School Sales

I HATE "Back to School Sales". It's that awful reminder that another year of debauchery is about to begin. You know when you turn on the radio or the tv and you CANNOT seem to get away from these stupid "Back to School Sale" commercials? Really, I want to smack the person who thought of this. I really want to run them over with my car, then back up, and run them over again. The most annoying part is that these people have the audacity to sound excited about it. They usually start of saying something along the lines of "It's that time of the year!!!" in a really fake eager voice, and excitedly, I start wondering what time of the year it is (the fool I am). I'm thinking to myself, it's Christmas!!! People usually don't sound this excited except during Christmas (screw political correctness for a minute)...nope. Halloween...nope. My birthday...I mean, it has to be my birthday since all other plausible options have been ruled out; and just as I'm getting excited thinking of all those wonderful gifts I'm about to receive, the annoying announcer crushes my dream with those fatal words, "It's BACK TO SCHOOL", and at this point, I'm absolutely vexed! Irate! I mean just fuming mad!. Are you kidding me? Who the heck gets excited about that? Okay granted, we're all excited at first. We're always so excited for when school starts. We have so many goals. We're all eager to meet new people, scan the crowds for cute faces, start our fun classes, new profs/teachers. It's all fun...for about the first WEEK, then you just can't WAIT for school to end! You're counting the days until each vacation, slowly going through the boring monotonous routine, eagerly awaiting summer! Yup, we all love school!

I LOVE learning and I wish that I could learn everything possible. I love school because I get to learn, but the amount of stress that I undergo during the school year makes me despise the beginning of school and treasure my lazy summer days. I can't even remember how many times I've contemplated suicide because of stress in school. It's really like a daily ritual for me. Okay, so I'll wake up this morning, and then I'll kill myself. I have my cyanide capsules in a locket tied around my neck. Okay kidding, it's not that bad, but really, the stress in school is mad! I mean, for some people it's not that bad, but for me, it's horrendous.

Like I said earlier, I love learning, but I hate exams. In my opinion, exams are in NO WAY an accurate representation of one's intelligence. I honestly feel that exams really test just how well you can regurgitate whatever you heard in class or is in your textbook. Yes, there's always that one "application" question but the majority of the questions are the same as what you've seen in your homework, with different numbers and maybe a bit more difficult and thus, I am subjected to spending all my days in the library like a mole because of the emphasis they put on these stupid exams (I need to maintain that 90 average).

During the school year (or university year for me), my sense of fashion goes out the door along with my sense of fun. It's sweatpants for me all day every day. It's so bad for me that I don't even bother with my hair. Basically, whatever state my hair is in the minute I wake up is the state my hair will be in for the rest of the day. Yup, I just LOVE school. I've officially disconnected myself from the rest of the world so I can avoid these horrid advertisements. I swear to PUT that if I hear one more thing about "Walmart having immense back to school sales" or I hear that you can "buy Notebooks for 99 cents at Walmart" (which is a good deal and I should check it out) or if I hear that "Sears is having a massive sale on clothes for kids with a lifetime warranty", I'm gonna smack someone. I'd rather enjoy the rest of my lazy summer days reading novels with no sense of time whatsoever and NOT have to be reminded that school is starting soon.

Stay Gorgeous!
