around the school after volleyball conditioning. I'm going to be a freshman in the fall, and I've never attended a public school before. Private school, yes, but not public school. Needless to say I'm suffering from severe culture shock.
This is going to sound ridiculous, but I was honestly expecting something similar to the stuff you see in those Disney Channel movies we used to watch. Clean school, fun dances and pep rallies, popular girls, jocks, outcasts who somehow come out on top in the end [of the movie], etc. And while some of those stereotypes might be true, most are not, and it didn't take me long to discover this.
1. Mean girls? Sure, they're are people who can be rude, but for the most part, high school kids like keep to themselves and their posse and don't really care about what anyone else does.
2. Movie romances don't exist in high school.Some high schoolers go through a million and one significant others before graduation, and others never land a date their entire time in high school. But those sweet little romances just don't exist.
3. Going to a low-budget school can seriously suck. I never realized how spoiled we were at my old private school. We got nice uniforms, catered lunches, and none of our programs were ever even considered being cut. But my new school is dirty, drab, and falling apart around us, and pretty much everyone is from a low-income family. Well, at least I'll fit in a little bit more. It should be nice not having to deal with rich kids who think they should get everything handed to them on a silver platter.
I've decided that I've seen WAAAY too many Disney Channel movies.
