So, today was my first day of Junior year. As much as I was dreading it (as I always am) it actually turned out to be alright. As soon as I walked in to the doors I was bombarded my hugs and people asking me how my summer was…the norm. That is a thing that bugs me though. Like, a lot.
You know how there are always those people that during the school year, you’re friends, and at the end of the year you are both like “We SO have to hang out this summer! Call me!”? Well, you see none of them during the summer, and once the school year starts again, they either do not ackowledge your existence or they are so happy to see you. That’s what I don’t get. If you missed me SO much, why didn’t you make it a point to see me, or call me?
Now, I in no way am saying I call and hang out with every person I say I will, but I’m not that fake. I mean yeah, maybe I’ll say hi when I see them in the hallway or actually try to build an actual relationship with the person outside of school so that it’s a true friendship. Sometimes you just have to take the chance and be like hey “Wanna go to the movies this weekend?” instead of keeping an in-class relationship.
That’s my other goal for this year. I want to broden my friendships from outside of the classroom walls. I want to make friendships that I am going to remember and most of all, I just want to have fun. Like I said, I have two years left. I want to make the most of them.
