Does anyone else have trouble mustering up school spirit? I’m currently a high school senior and am being bombarded by obligations such as senior pictures, buying senior items, etc. I know I should appreciate my high school and whatnot, but i just have never cared. I study well and have decent extracurriculars, I just have never really held any interest in anything outside of academics, at least which pertain to my school. I know I wont be this way in college, as I will actually have had a choice in the school i am attending and can feel some kind of pride for it, but my feelings toward high school encompasses more than just “school spirit”. Like i said, i dont even have an interest to get senior pictures done, or even purchase a yearbook. I may come across as sounding horribly misanthropic and recluse, but i am actually very sociable in school. I just really dont care at all, i see high school as a nuisance, and only see it as an opportunity to get good grades and test scores and make myself on up to college.

High school has just been a huge disappointment in the social factor. Growing up watching so many shows and movies which glorified the high school experience has led me to become utterly disjointed from it now. I know college will be different, and even if it isnt as much, then theres no problem. Is this bad? A lot of people tell me that I may regret it in the future, but i am not one to hold regrets. So, have any of you had any sentiments which relate to mine?
