You wake up to your parents banging on the door and asking if you are ready to leave.
Surprise surprise, your alarm did not go off.
The outfit you were planning to wear is conveniently in the washer.
You look outside and it is pouring rain. Of course, your sibling stole your rain jacket.
You have no time to eat before you run out the door, not even sure if your bag is fully packed.
You are drive out of your neighborhood slowly, dodging the multiple garbage trucks that continuously stop in the middle of the road.
Then, you have to sit in terrible Charleston traffic, and get stuck behind the train.
When you finally get to school, the buses have already arrived, and you’re given a red tardy pass despite the train.
You walk into the first block: pop quiz. You didn’t do the reading because you fell asleep last night.
You imagine the tragic Powerschool notification that will pop up on your computer two hours later as you hand in your quiz.
You walk in the halls towards your second block class and you trip up the stairs on your Uggs. Everyone stares at you and you hear a laugh.
During second block, you are given an individual assignment, NO TALKING, and it takes the entire class.
You suddenly have a brain-splitting headache but the nurse says you are completely fine.
Third block, you have a unit test on simply the hardest unit you have ever learned. You give up half way through the test and surrender your grade.
Lunch time and you walk in the cafeteria to smell the Walking Taco. You feel like throwing up but it’s raining outside so there is no way to escape the smell. Some random kid is banging on the piano. They’ve never played the piano before. Clearly.
You walk to your fourth block, study hall! Thank goodness. You then hear your teacher say that you have an hour long lecture series.
The bell rings, and you get stuck behind all the students, meaning you will be stuck in the parking lot for the next hour. You pull out of your spot and someone almost hits you.
You are beyond tired, and all you want to do is take an afterschool nap. It is a Monday night and you still have 4 tests/quizzes to prepare for.
Even worse, the rain cleared right as your practice was supposed to start. Your coach tells you that this practice is only conditioning.
Your practice finally ends, and you drive home starving because you wouldn’t dare to eat the Walking Taco at lunch.
When you walk into the kitchen, you see the crockpot waiting for you.
After choking down that dinner, you just want to take a shower. Right as you are going to take one, your sibling gets into the shower. You have never felt such rage.
It is now 10 PM, and you have been staring at your notes for 2 hours, retaining absolutely nothing. Should you give up?
You end up falling asleep again in the midst of your schoolwork, with no alarm set for the next morning.
