Lindsay and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Year
"High school – the prime time of every kid's life, a dream come true, memories you'll never forget – "… I don't think so. Let's break it down from my view: Lindsay Callihan, a real 16-year-old kid living the real junior year, high school life. The ultimate goal of high school: build you up, break you down, and then build you up while simultaneously breaking you down again. So far, high school can be broken down into three different categories: the good, the bad, and the evil.
Of course, the good comes first. It acts as a curtain obstructing your view from what really lies ahead of you. Some ask, what is the good of high school? If you're a high schooler, that's right, you already guessed it – freshman and sophomore year. Although you're terrified and a little annoyed that you were pushed back to the bottom of the food chain once again, the classes are a breeze. No AP classes mean you get to experience a gift many of us juniors have forgotten about – a social life. Dare I say you actually get to go out on a weeknight. Yes, a weeknight. These years are transitions into a new phase and the teachers want to keep it a light breeze, after all, you're still pretty young. Sometimes it will start to thunder and maybe a little light rain will fall, but that's only once in a blue moon. Sophomores aren't the newbies trying not to get scared away; however, they need an easy break year to distract them from their impending doom.
