After all, they're so rigid, and boring, and mundane. They're always following rules, following them no matter what, and are always spending their time doing things like finishing their homework and revising their studies instead of doing really FUN stuff. The worst part is when they feel the need to correct other people who aren't as rigid as them. I mean, it's not as if it's their responsibility to right what they think is wrong, right?
Right?
Everyone knows that, these days, it's much cooler being bad. It's awesome of you to diss your teachers, break the rules and have a heck-care attitude about the world in general. People would admire you then, because what you do is so brave.
I never realised that doing the things that you want to, and not the things that you have to, required so much courage.

This year is most probably the craziest year of my life. I say most probably because, as we all well know by now, nothing in life is absolute. I have a lot of my life left to live (I pray), so you can never be sure. For all I know, there would be many other crazy years yet to come. Still, this year would definitely be up there on the Mad Years list. And it's only been 5 months!
By crazy, I don't mean bad, or stressful, I just mean crazy. Like, a whole riot of openers. It's opened my eyes, and it's opened my mind. Well, okay, maybe that sounds a teensy but drastic and dramatic, but I am definitely learning something new everyday.
Not that it's made me more mature or intelligent. On the contrary, it's made me feel rather small and, well, kinda stupid. It's never truly hit me how plain and safe my life was until now. Everyday something happens that makes me think, "Wow. Really?"
Now, when I say my life used to safe, I don't mean that it's not safe anymore. Please don't picture me dying my hair and shooting up drugs with my classmates or anything, you drama mamas. Although, I must say that I wouldn't mind dying my hair. These days, I've been craving to dye my hair white. Don't ask me why. It's probably from watching three X-Men movies with Storm in them. Her white hair looks so cool. I imagine that, on me though, it will look incredibly freaky.
But I'm getting out of point here, which is that, honestly, I am still as innocent and blurr as ever. It's just that now I see a lot more and hear a lot more, which, to be honest, is tiring. You can only handle so many riots. At some point, you're going to need a break from all the surprises and just fall back into simple, ordinary routine.
Which is why I am celebrating - it's the end of the exams! This, of course, means that the following paragraph would be about me rejoicing the fact that I am now able to do all the things that I was previously no able to do, such as reading, playing the computer, staying up late, yada yada yada. I've said it, you all have heard it, so let's skip this part and just know that I am very, very happy.
