As we are all well aware, I was minimally involved in high school. Aka: I did nothing. And I honestly, truly, 100% did not have a problem with it. I was positive that I would not regret it.
Well, here's the deal. I was wrong.
I do regret it. But not for the reasons you would think.
Actually I regret it for a pretty selfish, stupid reason and that reason is this:
I wish I would have done something just so I could say I did it. Because you would not believe how many times people say, "So what did you do in high school?"
Nothing.
Really?
Ya.
And it doesn't help that all my roomies were freakin overinvolved!
We just had our visiting teachers come over and they were like, "Let's just go around and say what we did in high school."
Miss C.: Well I was on drill all three years, and I did basketball Junior and Senior year, and softball the first two years, but not Senior year, I did track instead. And then Senior year I was on student government. . . . .
The Rock: I did basketball all three years and volleyball the first two years and track and student government and Senior year I did soccer. . . . .
Me: I did nothing. Actually I did golf one year. Oh ya, I volunteered. That's it.
Uh.
How flippin stupid is that?!
Why didn't I just become president of the recycling club or something? At least! What the freak.
A word of advice to all you high school attendees out there: Just do something. Even if you don't want to, just do it. It doesn't even matter what it is. You'll thank me in college when people don't think you were a backwards hermit who slept under a tree and ate crabs her whole high school existence.
