I feel like part of my Senior year was robbed away

[Anarchist Angel]

Today they cancelled Grad Bash, which is an end of the year trip rewarding you for making it through high school or whatever.
Point is, it's literally the only way I'd ever been able to go to Universal.
And it's the first year it's been cancelled. The reason they canceled? "Lack of Interest" what the hell do you mean?

I feel like I'm being robbed of a reward for not killing myself or something.
Sorry, I just wanted to vent.

I was really disconnected from my senior year(not my classmates. Just the concept of being a senior).Mssed a chunk of it halfway through,came back and was diagnosed with senioritis(you try taking almost 2.5 months off from school, missing one whole quarter and the beginning of another, with school ending in just a month. Do you really intend to make up 2.5 months of work in the 1 month remaining?)

Not that important. There will be far more meaningful milestones in life. Like making it out of that horrid k-12 system.

This. As a sidenote, if you're talking about a Universal theme park, which one are you talking about?

Oh god, I want this so much. About another two years, and I'm done. Oh god, Nirvana achieved if I make it out of this. At least I can decide what I want to do in university.

'Lack of Interest' is a terrible excuse. They probably ran out of money or something and tried to hide it with a poor excuse.

A lot of schools in the United States are cutting back on a lot of stuff in favor of...... more standardized testing. Recess in elementary schools is getting cut back and instead are testing elementary school children much more tougher than it's ever been.

It's sad that people think testing can determine a person's every characteristic. Testing only determines a particular state of mind at a particular time.

Since when have harder tests proven beneficial to the national statistic of education? Pretty much never.
