Last School Official Blog Post: Goodbye Spartan Nation

Four years ago my friend from kindergarten showed up at my house both with our skirts to long and our backpacks too big. It was the first time i hadn't ridden a bus to school, hadn't gone to school with my best friend, or had to wear a uniform. I remember I hadn't written my name in any of my books so my homeroom teacher made me pile all of them up on my desk. Every other kid had only a book or two and i had twelve. I remember sitting in the theater (a place that would become a second home to me) thinking about how i had to wear this awful uniform every day. We had field day i didn't officially know anyone in my homeroom except i had heard of Ellie so we both clung to each other. I got home went into my neighbors and new classmates kitchen (he would later become my best friend) and mispronounced the word both. I want it to be summer to stop worrying about homework and exams. I want to go to college to be out in the world out of my parents house. I just don't really want to leave St. Marks. Don't get me wrong this place drives me crazy. I mean no eating in the academic wing, i cant buy pop tarts anymore? The people here go on and off from being crazy to great. This place is still my home. I know how to get underneath the stage i know where the good paint and the old paint that is probably 40 years old is. I know the wood we use to build the set is probably from the first production of bye bye birdie. I know which teachers sit next to each other at mass. I know the mass has not ended until deacon bill has yelled it at us. i know Mrs. DeAscanis despises clapping at mass. I know that if you don't actually read the book you will fail Ingrams quizzes or you know if you do read them you will still fail. I know Mr. Carlton will literally make fun of everyone and still keeps alive that ancient projector. i know you need to say thank you to cookie for your fries. I know you can't get reception on the first floor.  i know so many more things about this school that i can't even mention right now. I know i have to leave i know its not going anywhere its solid concrete. I will always be a spartan and I'm so happy i showed up that first day coming to school everyday was not easy but i will always be thankful for my teachers and class i'm not going to say i love you all cause that's ungodly cheesy but thank you for making me the person i am now because i am so different from that kid that showed up four years ago.

I don't wannaa waaait for ooour liiiiiiives to be oveeeeeer

I have a confession to make i have an extremely bad guilty pleasure. My favorite show ever has to be Dawson's Creek. I know i know teenagers who can't get over anything that use too big of words. Honestly i like the big words bring it on Dawson with your thoughtful quizzical looks. i also like all of the 90s references where they use cassette tapes and VHS. I being an extremely big fan of supernatural found out Jensen was in an episode i watched it then continued to finish season six and watching the finale and cried like a baby. Then went back to season two and the rest is history. To anyone who says that show has no substance that show has every thing so many things happen and its not overly obnoxious well maybe but not as bad. Plus the characters get so much better as time goes on. Can we also mention how terrible a lot of their lives were i mean Jen's parents kicked her out, everyone hated her, her grandfather(the only one who loved her) died, her terrible satanic friend dies, her grandmother kicked her out, (senior year was not that bad) then she gets cheated on, then her best friend leaves her, then gets cheated on again, then her grandmother gets cancer, then she gets knocked up, then she dies. Oh and also her one soul mate is her gay best friend. That is a terrible life if all of those things happened in my life i would use big words too. The show does have some pretty terrible love connections literally everyone has dated each other but come to think of it they pretty much do that in every show. That 70's show all the couples get shuffled around. Almost every guy except Eric has dated Jackie  In How I met Your Mother Robin just keeps jumping from Ted to Barney. I swear to God if she gets back together with Ted i will kill someone. Back to Dawson's creek i think the love connections are just awkward because they bring it up all the time and the have literally tired every combination Joey+Dawson, Joey+Pacey, Joey+Jack, Jen+Dawson, Jen+Pacey, and they even tried Jen plus Jack after he was out of the closet. I know you were drunk at a ski lodge but really i mean yes people wanted them together but it just doesn't work. Fine yes they can be soul mates i know its kind of sad that they won't ever be together but every great show needs that a connection between two people that doesn't involve them together and it might cause them to be together but is not the main focus. I don't want to tune in because of the will they won't they but to see two characters work together perfectly and not romantically. And yes Dawson's creek has the sappy romance but enough sass and bite to be entertaining.
