Senioritis & Socialites

Senioritis. It's the one all-consuming disease that can strike without a warning and dangerously affect your educational future. Ironically, this plague hasn't hit me as hard as it has hit everyone else. People walk into class saying, "What?! There's a test today?" Others are saying they "had no idea that project was due in two days!" Then, there's the long standing expression about homework: "Due tomorrow? Do tomorrow." That one is my favorite, and applies to me more often than not. But hey, at least I actually do my homework, which is more than I can say for a good 2/3rds of the senior class. Surprisingly, senioritis hasn't affected me nearly as much as I thought it would. In the second semester of my senior year, for the first time ever, I, Simonne Cheung, have...wait for it...STRAIGHT A's! It's pretty exciting. Though senioritis hasn't hit me as hard, the rising hierarchy of the socialites, on the other hand, has. I was switched into a 2nd period English class this semester and it's absolutely terrible. It's the class with all the preps, and they've all got their dumb inside jokes, while I'm just sitting there like "hey." Also, there's a girl, who is supposedly my friend. And were totes chill, and on hangout level, and everything. But turns out she's thrown 3 parties this month already, and no, I was not on the invite list for any of them. I mean, normally I'm obviously not a party girl, but it would be nice to experiment in high school. Before I get into college and show up as a rookie. Just some inner thoughts there. However, there's also the looming presence of prom being just around the corner. I, being me, don't expect to get a date. Never have, never will. Except junior year formal...but that's a different story. It is a little unsightly seeing all the preps ask the other preps to be their dates. On top of that, my best friend just told me she's not going, and instead is attending the 2014 Weenie Roast (basically a gathering of a bunch of really awesome bands at the Verizon Wireless Ampitheatre). Top notch bands are playing, and I was debating on going, but I probably won't. It's Senior Prom and I don't want to miss it. Anyways, the point was that I'm simply fed up with all of the socialites at school. All the kids giving off their douchebag vibes, and the girls showing off their designer clothes and faaaaaabulous hair. It's sickening. I'm just glad I've been able to stick it out, and not conform completely.
