Everybody was cool... at least once.
Lately I've been thinking about how much life has changed. I know I am not one with much experience on this thing we call life. But with my few years, I've noticed.. I'm not "cool" anymore. This whole thing starts when you first begin to find yourself. Elementary school. Yes, this is the place where you begin. Nobody knows you or what you are capable of. So we take advantage. Here we learned that you were 'cool' if you got perfect attendance, an A on that vocabulary test (of approx. 10 words) and if you got asked to play with on the playground.
Slowly middle school approaches, and again, you are new. A new school, new kids, and overall, a new outlook. You may be influenced to go different ways, be not who you were trained to be. This could be good or bad. It all depends if you are 'cool' or not. And by high school, the complete outlook has changed. You are only cool if you smoke "secretly" or decide to steal a drink from your parents. If you don't show up to class or decide to fail a class. This is the equation for 'cool'.
Call me old fashion. Call me lame. But I feel like everyone should go back to the elementary days of 'cool' and shape yourselves to become a better you. I'm proud to say that although I am in college, I go by the same 'cool' standards as elementary school. Be the best you can be. Be Cool.
