Fridays

1- Is obviously because of the football games, I love to get out on the field and compete. As a football team we work hard all week to get ready and play that weeks opponent; and getting to take what you've done all week and apply it to the game is something I always look forward to.
2-Its the last day of school for that week.
3-Tomorrow is Saturday and I'll get to sleep a little later.
4-Friday nights after home games just hanging out with friends.
5-Fridays always seem to be more relaxed at school.
6-Pep rallies

Future

When you get to your junior and senior years of high school people start asking you things about what you want to do when you graduate; they all fail to understand that the only thing I'm looking forward to upon graduation is leaving. Its not a hatred for this town that most of my generation feel its a need to have freedom. I honestly don't know where I'll be when I'm 30. The truth is I don't ever think about it. Where would I like to be in 15 years? Hopefully I'll be married the girl of my dreams, be financially secure and maybe be starting a family. But maybe thats not how it turns out, maybe I'm broke, or maybe no kids. Whatever happens I know that I'm not going to waste my one life doing things I don't love. Living life pessimistically isn't for me, I'm an optimistic person. The cup isn't half empty its half full. In the end I don't care where I end up in 10, 15, 0r 20 years, as long as I'm happy.

Bonfire!

Your senior bonfire is something you look forward to all four years of your high school career. I never have really cared much, and in till this year I couldn't have cared less about the bonfire. Even me the guy thats never put a stick into the bonfire that past few years looked forward to going to my senior bonfire. Your senior bonfire (to football players anyway) is equivalent if not more important than your senior prom.

This is, in my opinion, just another way people in the generation above us (with some exceptions) think that they're making the world better by taking away privileges from the youth because they're so sure we're gunna screw it up or make the wrong decision. Because a few people are stupid enough to to mess around in the still smoldering ashes of a bonfire doesn't mean they should all be totally outlawed. More people die from tobacco than from bonfires, so why not outlaw that? What about driving? This is sort of how they took our hour long lunches from us last year. A few students were doing things they shouldn't have been and so what do they do? They punish everybody by taking our lunches, and then they say "well you still have 40 minutes. Ha thats a joke! try 35 minutes, and when it takes 10 to get outta the parking lot and 15 more waiting on food. That makes abouta 10 minute lunch brake. Those people that screw it up for the rest of us usually aren't going to say "well no bonfires so I guess I won't play with fire" or "only 10 minutes left of lunch, I guess I won't get stoned before I go back to school."
