Missing someone

isn't about how long it's been since you've seen them, or the amount of time since you last talked. It's about that very moment when you're doing something and you wish that they were right there beside you.

I guess the grammar is a little awkward. But I thought it was cute.

7 days left in my high school career! Again, I suppose this is significant. ^.^ So I may as well dedicate a post or two to the topic. First, I thought I'd go with something you're ALLL probably wondering: what has our darling Emily learned throughout the course of these four golden years?!

I'll tell you.

- Opening combination locks is like dancing; you always start on the right and you get the best results if you hum to yourself.
- There is no such thing as a chair without gum stuck to the bottom.
- Students will only remember what "Hellenistic" means if they have damp stress balls thrown at their heads.
- Learning about STDs is more important than anything we'll ever have to know ever.
- If you're on good terms with your gym teacher, it's worth getting to the locker room a little late. It's less crowded so you won't end up saying "sorry" or "excuse me" or "my bad" every two seconds. Conservation of breath ftw.
- Pyromaniacs make bad lab partners.
- "Gun threats" make school a much safer place.
- If you enjoy being asked obvious questions, cut your hair.
- If you enjoy sleeping, don't take AP classes.
.- Searching for your guidance counselor is almost like hunting the white stag. Only... you aren't the queen of Narnia. And chances are you won't end up finding her anyway.
- Don't drink the water. Just don't.
- "Maoooo" is by far the best thing you could name a cat.
- Jocks really are dumb.
- But AP students are dumber than anyone else. Its just a secret.
- Enter all bathrooms at your own risk.
- Never enter bathrooms after 5th period.
- Girls return pens. Boys do not.
- If a boy does return your pen, suspect him of having ulterior motives.
- Utilize every and all secret passage ways. They don't just exist in Hogwarts.
- Sleep is the most beautiful and delicious comfort known to the human race.
- Birds really do start singing just before dawn...
- But sunrises never look quite as nice from a bus window.
- Most boys really don't know anything about sports. 500 Giants jerseys? Don't fall for it. It's a trap.
- On that note, under water basket weaving is indeed a sport.
- The second floor of the library smells like old books. Go there if you need rejuvenating.
- If you want to lose a little faith in the future of humanity, go to the cafeteria.
- If you want to see a fight, just find crowd where there shouldn't normally be one.
- Most fights are actually between two girls. Two white girls.
- Don't eat in a room that smells like cat juice.
- To earn a boy's love, do his health homework.
- To earn your English teacher's respect, shriek loudly.
- Coffee in the morning probably isn't as good an idea as it sounds.
- Half a carton of ice cream the night before AP exams is.
- Try to sing when you wake up. It'll open your lungs and make it easier to communicate when you eventually do make it over there....
And always remember...
Park in the back.
