Birthday Posters

So, today was someone's birthday, and this reminded me to create this rant post.

A few months ago, one of my best friends had a birthday. So, some of my other best friends (I have a lot of really good friends) made a birthday poster for her. Of course it was cool and I signed it, and we were all happy, but 8 days later, it was my birthday. And they didn't. make. me. a. poster.

You can say I'm annoying or mean, or anything you want, but I am going to throw this out here: If they are my best friends, and they made a poster for this other best friend, shouldn't I get a poster as well?

I mean, I didn't say it at the time, but I was genuinely hurt. Is she a better friend than I am? Or do they just like her better? Or do they just hate me?

I really don't know, and I'm still not going to say anything about that. They'll probably think I'm overblowing the whole thing out of proportion, but I really think that I'm probably not as important, in their eyes. I'm not as important, so either they didn't bother to remember about my birthday, or they didn't care.

I guess they just didn't think about my feelings.

I will repeat this: I was, and am genuinely hurt.

This is why birthday posters are a bad idea.

Cammie- I think you can guess which friends I am talking about. Her Bday is Sept 1, mine is Sept 9th.

School?

I hate school.

I'll elaborate further in another post, but I'm so glad the holidays are coming soon.

Because I hate school.
I hate it.
There is no convincing me.

And I'm mad.

I'm pretty sure if the holidays weren't coming, I might run into school with a hammer and break everything.
But the holidays are coming. Thanks. Saved me from vandalism. :D

BTW, Cammie, what do you think about this topic?

Rant Post About School-Elly

Today's post is going to be about school.

There is not much use for school. All it does is cram facts into brains of children, then teach them that they are never going to have fun again. Until they're retired.

Video About Education

as explained perfectly by this video. I agree with most everything in this video- that when you're little, you can have hobbies, but slowly you have no time for them, and only when you get retired will you finally be able to do your hobbies again.

I mean, right now, all students are either making homework a higher priority than sleep, like I am, or not caring at all about schoolwork.

Honour roll seems like one of the most important things now, and that's not good. I agree with giving awards for people that get good grades/have good work habits, but it's really stressing some of us out.

Also, really? Two maths groups? Academic teams? Come on, you're splitting up groups of friends. Although that's exactly what you did when you separated us into houses. (I don't mind the houses, though)
Right now, I only get to eat lunch with my other friends (I have friends in my maths group as well) every six days.

School can be fun, but please, please, please treat us more like humans.

We are not robots that can remember/do everything perfectly.
