High School

A scrapbook of sorts to explain the hidden truths of American public high school. Made with clips and photographs from my own awkward school years, reenactments, construction paper, yarn, magazines, newspapers, stolen clips from youtube, custom-made clips via Skype, and love.

    I’m in Colorado and what you said about flipflops is totally true. “Get a license and think they’re the first person to ever drive a car” Also true! I thought I was badass until the middle of sophomore year. Now driving is just driving. Pretty accurate video.

    I’m not too into senior year yet, so I only feel cocky, not nostalgic.

  11. Ah, high school.

    I …
    Ah, high school.

    I was testy, dangerous, charismatic – a king of beasts in a nasty jungle. Hundreds of people moved in concentric circles around my every whim and declaration. No one was happy when I was unhappy, nobody unhappy when I was pleased. Yet, through it all, I was … an insecure person with bad acne.

    Seriously, high school wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t great, either. I’m glad I’m past it, simply because I think my life is more interesting now that I’m older and (hopefully) wiser.

    I wasn’t expecting to see something that really could explain how I currently feel..I wasn’t thinking when I walked out of high school laughing and pointing at freshman telling them their “time in has only begun” that I would wish I were in their shoes starting to move on in life..
    I miss it. I miss my table with friends there every morning. I miss a couple teachers… I miss hanging out, I miss…everything..
    Ive only been graduated for 5months…
    Really were the best times of my life.
