How to Play The Game of High School 2022
Hey!
You're new here.
Welcome to High School
This is gonna be fun.
Wait, you're what?
You hang out with who?
You believe what?
And yo wear that?
You’ve got a lot you learn
So listen closely.
Everything you do defines you
What you believe in doesn't matter
Who you hang out with is your status
Eat, sleep, live and breathe it.
You will spend 185 days out of every year for 4 years,
At this concrete block.
Come for 8 hours
Listen to lectures
See people you don’t like
Have conversations you don’t want to have
Your topics are
Sex
Relationships
And drugs
Also careful of what you wear
Too conservitive
Too slutty
Find a middle
Some of them might even try to eat you up like Pac-Man
Spitting out just your eyes
Just wear what they wear
Say what they say
Don’t make one wrong move and you're fine
You say one wrong thing
To the wrong person
And everyone knows.
Eat the truth
Spit the lie
Just watch and learn
We’re masters in the art
It’s a process
A way of life
We hurt
We betray
We move on
Do you understand?
Wait, you don’t want to play anymore?
Sorry you’ve already started
And the game is still going
You may not leave the game until your 18
If you leave the game early
Your a drop out
A loser
You have no future
You become a nobody
You will live in a ditch somewhere
And you will die alone,
Or at least that’s what they tell us.
Wait, come back
We’re not done yet!
You still need to know about the actual school work.
The projects and presentations
Due dates and 50 page papers.
College transcripts and you must know what you want to do when you graduate.
Come to school with a smile.
A good attitude,
And don’t forget Integrity.
I think you're ready now.
Good luck,
In the game of high school, 2022
