Okay, so this is what I want to talk about today. What I don't get is the incredibly f***ed up school system. I'm not sure about other towns, but mine is like this. They give us insane amount of completely unnecessary work, and you know what else?
THEY MAKE SCIENCE FAIR MANDATORY.
Now, understand something. Science fair in this town is like a college football game in Texas. You don't build a volcano and win a stupid fricking ribbon. You have four lab reports that have to get turned in, and if you don't, you fail science, and then you have to spend tons of money on the project and get judged for it. They're considering making juniors do it now.
Do you know what that means?
That means that we'll have to put up with science fair, exhibition (it's a project that you have to pass in order to GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL), AP classes, and then they want us to have at least (15 hours??) of community service, and a bucket load of extra curricular activities. And on top of all that?
They tell us to "be happy" and "have a positive attitude."
I hate to break it to you, but it doesn't exactly work that way.
Fun Fact: the average stress level of a present day high school student is the same as a patient at a mental institution in the 1950's.
