Back-to-School Adventures---- Part 2

If you have not read the post before this, please do so.


OK, now that you've read the first part, we can move on to today's part. =-) Today I'm going to talk about our school's popularity system. (Please note that this is not intended to hurt anyone personally.)

Ah, our popularity system. The ranks. The classes. The cliques. The torture. You see them everywhere; the cheerleaders, the jocks, the preps, the skaters, emos, goths, nerds, freaks. I walk around campus deciphering who's on top and who's slowly becoming "unpopular". Have you ever wondered what I do as the "quiet person" who just stares at everyone? Well, now you know. One minute, you can be the coolest girl in school and then you get a bad haircut and you're just a freak- I've seen it a million times.

Popularity is practically based on who you hang out with, what you wear, what you do after school, who you're going out with, and how you act. OK, well the dictionary defines popularity as: the quality of being widely admired or accepted or sought after. That's pretty different than our definition, don't you think?

Frankly, I have no idea what the "populars" classify me as, but I think I have some ideas...

Recipe for Justine:

• 
  
  A pinch of shyness.


• 
  
  A cup of intelligence.


• 
  
  2 cups of kindness.


• 
  
  1 teaspoon of athleticism.


• 
  
  Add 2 cups of emo for the filling.


• 
  
  Sprinkle on some preppy.


• 
  
  Add some artistic Icing.

And WA-la! You have Justine Ala cake. =-)

I know who I am, do you? Whenever you find yourself bored or in a bad mood, try making a recipe for yourself. It's fun and inspiring! In fact if you do make one, send it to me via email so I can post it here! ;-)
