The Rules for School
April 30, 2021
First
The alarm goes off, you have to get up
You need food, eat breakfast, drink water
Get your stuff, you can’t be late
Then
Get in the car or the bus, talk with people
You get there and you head to class
You listen, you take notes, you learn things
Next
The things you learn aren’t important though
It’s just so that you can take a test
And have a good grade
After
After you’ve crammed your head with useless things
You go home, eat, sleep, then you get back up
And do all over again, and again, and again

I go to school every day, have been going since preschool. I'm now in 8th grade, because of school every day ends up being the same. And in my mind, if every day is the same do those days really count? People always say you only live once, so live your life to the fullest, but how am I supposed to do that? Whenever I express that I'm always told that I have to stay in so that I can go to college and get a job, then I can live my life. But that's not true, once I get a job my life will still be the same every day, just that I go to work instead of school.
