Let's be real, here, people. High school sucks.
To those who say that high school is the best years of your life are liars, in my opinion. I will admit, my high school experience was not terrible, or horrendous, or devastating. It was just okay. However, compared to college...college is way better. But that's not my point here.
My point is: high school has quite a few resemblances to a zombie apocalypse. Alright, after you've quit laughing (or crying because it's true), check out my list of reasons why.
1. Your Squad
Your high school squad is a lot like your zombie apocalypse squad. You stick together because you need to if you want to survive. Also because you're together almost every day. After the zombie apocalypse (or high school) is over, your squad will likely separate. There will be some friends where you're like, "Hey, we make a great team, this was awesome!" and you'll keep in touch. Then there are other friends where you're like, "Hey, thanks for sticking by me and saving my life a few times. I'm glad we were able to survive this apocalypse together. Good luck with your future endeavors." And then you give a friendly salute and go your separate ways.
2. Keeping Watch
In the zombie apocalypse, you'll likely need someone to alternate shifts between keeping watch at night so you're not attacked. Same thing in high school, except you have someone keeping watch for your teacher to come back while you do some stupid shit you're not supposed to be doing.
3. Scavenging For Food
In an apocalypse, food is likely scarce. You'll be scavenging continuously, eating food whenever you can. As for high school...I don't know if you've noticed, but high schoolers are obsessed with food. Especially free food. When you get free food during school, it's like the angels from heaven above have blessed you.
4. Physical Education
In high school, you're forced to take at least a few PE classes. In the zombie apocalypse, you have no choice. You're either fast, or you're dead. Good luck.
5. Adults
In high school, you likely have one teacher that you're tight with. You guys are chill, make jokes in class, and you probably call them by their first name. In the zombie apocalypse, you should also have at least one adult with you that you're cool with. They're the wise one that actually knows what they're doing, and can teach you how to fight and hunt and scavenge and stuff. They're also there to make sure you don't die, because you're pretty much civilization's last hope. Just like high school!
6. Stocking Up For A Fight
If there's a big fight that's coming up, or a large horde on the horizon, you're going to need to be prepared. So you gather as many weapons as possible, and train as much as you can before it happens. Same thing with a test; you study a lot so you can hopefully escape unscathed (or at least with minimal wounds).
Making more sense now? Yeah, I thought so. If you're in college, celebrate with me while we enjoy the freedom of not being in high school. If you're in high school, I'm sorry, you'll be gone soon. Enjoy(?) it while you can.
