I literally cannot express my thankfulness and happiness that summer is just around the corner.
I’ve become this people-hating blonde monster. You think I’m kidding. I’m not. We have this patio inside our school, which is where a lot of people go in the morning to hang out…a lot of people who never stop to breathe. They just keep talking and talking. They never stop talking, ever.
I know they have freedom of speech, but can’t they have freedom of speech in a quieter voice? Why must they yell everything they say? I know too much about some guy’s girlfriend problems, and I now know where some kid in my math class gets his drugs. One would think they would want to keep that a secret from the police roaming the hallway? But they keep yelling, and I keep shaking my fist.
Even with some of my friends, I want to tell them that we should all just play the quiet game! I would really enjoy it if there were one day where everyone at school played the quiet game. It would be great.
Oh, and the lunch room is the worst. Everyone acts like a bunch of orangutans on acid! Everyone is all over the place. They’re yelling,dancing, throwing food, and scratching their buttocks! Shouldn’t you be eating? With your mouth closed? And sitting? Just keep eating! No need to talk! Y’all there are about two hundred people in my lunch, so it gets loud. Not kind of loud, but migraine in the making kind of loud. Oh my, I sound like a surly old man who wishes for the neighbor children to be abducted by aliens.
Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy talking to people..usually. But spending nine months with the same people, listening to them just endlessly talk, is mind-numbing. I wouldn’t mind if they talked about something interesting or if they were entertaining, but no. They talk about Manga, video games, and oh God…basketball. I just want to hit them upside the head with an iron skillet and tell them all to shh!
Only four more weeks, I can do this. I have faith. The force is with me.
Twilight Daydreams 
I totally relate to this post. I’m in grade 11 and there have been days where I get home and tell my family not to talk to me because I need ‘quite time’. I always look forward to when we change semesters because then I don’t have to listen to the same people talk about the same things. Thank god it’s almost summer!
I do the same thing when I get home! Oh how I can’t wait for summer to start:D
ohgosh. totally. I have been with literally the same 50 people in my grade for 6 years at my school. I hear exactly the same voices speaking and screaming at lunchtime. I still have two months left before summer :3
Oh my gosh, that sounds terrible! You need some new people at your school, like pronto. Hey, two months isn’t that far away! You’re almost there(:
I completely agree. I’m in 9th grade, and I tend to be very quiet- while, in contrast, my friends are constantly talking. Any moment of silence that descends is dubbed “awkward” and quickly dispersed with mindless chatter. God forbid that anyone should shut their mouths for a minute and try reading a book or merely sitting and thinking…. I’m looking forward to the summer too- don’t worry, we’ll make it!
I hate when people say that silence is awkward, it’s comfortable! Oh how I wish everyone read, I think there would be less mindless chatter that way. It would be great. Haha yes we will, I have faith in us!
Gosh, I feel the exact same way. I’m usually a major talker but I’m in 11th and it’s major AP stress time so I’m currently wishing I had more introverted friends so I could sit for two quiet minutes every now and then.
Having introverted friends around this time would be the best. I have my AP test next week, and I’m kind of freaking out about it. So having a couple of silent minutes would be wonderful. Good luck on your tests!(:
