BOYS, BOYs, BOys, Boys, boys.......boys?

So. We're talking about boys this week eh? Boys, boys, boys. They're kinda the center of the universe in high school aren't they? I mean for girls...or gay boys too I suppose. But are they nicer than girls? Speaking in terms of an enormous generalization...you know what, I don't think I can make that generalization. I mean, everyone is so different, girls and boys, and I think a lot of the time when we think other people (male or female) are being mean or judgmental it's in our head. But I also think that in high school tensions run pretty damn high between girls and boys and so, because it's such an intense atmosphere, we tend to stick to our own sex? I mean maybe it's something to do with betrayal, like if a girl breaks up with her boyfriend, chances are all her female friends will side with her right? Same thing for a guy and his buds. It feels like there is some sort of dividing line between us all through high school that only starts to relax near the end...or at least that was my experience :P. I only started being comfortable enough to be friends with a guy in grade 11. But I mean, I've heard a lot of talk about boys maturity levels differing from a girls throughout middle school and then high school too. Maybe by the time we all hit university everyone's maturity levels have started to match so we're able to be friends with the guys who we always thought were sooooo immature! Also, a lot of people have had or still have a boyfriend or girlfriend at that point so maybe they feel comfortable enough with the opposite sex to be friends and stuff. Or MAYBE....haha maybe guys have just started to figure out that if you're nice to a girl she'll be nice back and they figure if they're nice to the right girls they'll get LAID :P.
Anywho, the reason I didn't post yesterday was because I was reading Harry Potter until THREE IN THE MORNING!! It was amazing, so good, can't even believe how intense it was :0. I won't say anything explicit here but it was the sixth (said with a VERY significant look). Crazy-ass ending right?? One more book to gooo!! Pretty exciting, I won't lie to you :D.
Now as for my favourite highschool moments :
From Commencement: Raphael's speech because it was SO.EPIC. and hilarious :D
Grade 9: Making new friends (I felt like I'd forgotten how so I actually went to an all girls camp during the summer between grade 8 and 9 to like, practice making friends. I seriously should have gone to a co-ed camp, I would have been much better prepared for the jungle that is high school :P) and the trip to Montreal!! That was the most exciting thing during grade 9, I loved it through and through. Oh! I almost forgot about fashion show, I hated the social side of it, like the dress rehearsal where I sat alone cuz I was terrified of everyone (socially inept? yes.) but actually dancing during rehearsal and then being on stage was really, really fun. Also knowing you guys were out there watching and stuff was cool.
Grade 10: Probably sitting as close as we could to that guy (Zachary something?) who was in grade 12 during lunch just so that we could stare at him :P Other than that I have like no memories from grade 10, either that or I'm mixing them up with other grades...
Grade 11: French Exchange babaayy! I love France, I loved my partner and I loved wandering the city so...what else is there to say? :D (OMG the bread was amazing...and Paris...I guess there is a little more to say :P)
Grade 12: Omg having a spare, wait scratch that, having TWO spares. Best thing ever. I would not have survived with more than 6 classes, which is why I dropped my seventh :D. And Prom because it's what you see in every.single.high school movie and it was surreal to finally experience it for myself. Oh! And Girl's Knight out...it was actually way fun. Like WAYY fun. The most fun in grade 12 I think.
Alright fine high school wasn't all bad. But I still say it's narrow minded and judgmental despite claiming otherwise...You know it's funny, grade 9 and 12 were the best. Interesting. I wonder what it means! :P
And now for next week's question:
If you guys, like me, had taken a year off instead of going to university what would you want to do with it? (And for my answer I'll say what I had planned to do this year before doing...well, nothing :P)
Tata for now!
Evie :D
