The Torture that is High School: It Never Ends

One of my favourite bands of all time, Bowling for Soup, have a song named “High school never ends”. And not only is the song good, but there have never been truer words spoken.I think it must suck to suffer right through high school, then graduate thinking you would get away from “those people”. You find a job, and walk in prepared for the mature adult world.

Ha freaking Ha.

“4 Years and  you think for sure

That’s all you’ve got to endure

All the total dicks, all the stuck-up chicks

So superficial, so immature.

Then when you graduate

You take a look around and you say “Hey wait!”

This is the same as where I just came from

I thought it was over

Well that’s just great”

Your boss is the typical head boy or girl. They demand respect and are deemed the smartest and most responsible people in the office. Top of the food chain. You, just starting an internship or job shadowing, are the rookie. The Fetch-me-coffee-twerp rookie. You could just, if you stand on your toes, see the bottom of the food chain.

Welcome to the corporate business world.

Your colleagues will be like your classmates. There will be the typical jocks, their sport glory days just visible after all this time. They will talk about upcoming games and matches. Then you will find the anti-social people. They are like the loners in high school. They never come to business functions, and say little to nothing about themselves. Very mysterious-like.

You will also find the “nerds”. People with unusual, or different hobbies. The people that are excluded for no reason. The populars have to grace the office with an appearance of course, perfectly groomed. They will be either very nice, or snobbish beyond. And then, luckily, you get the people. No descriptions, or add-ons. Just normal, nice, every day people who come to work to make a living.

And the conversations in the office will be just like the song:

” The whole damn world is just as obsessed with who's the best dressed

And who's having sex.

Who's got the money, who gets the honeys, who's kinda cute

And who's just a mess.

And you still don’t have the right look, and you don’t have the right friends.

Nothing changes but the faces, the names and the trends...

High School Never Ends.”

Guess we should get used to it while we can then..
