-"I've had great success being a total idiot."~ Jerry Lewis
I've been getting told off recently, for being happy for my friends' successes and not ever getting anywhere myself. I do enjoy my fairly carefree life. And I'm not very happy with the idea that, just because I'm not doing anything that will ever 'get me anywhere in life' in my parents opinion, I'll never actually get anywhere. I'm starting to wonder how many school kids on average get told they'll be total failures on a regular basis. I know I'm just being childish and that I should stop complaining about a lot of these things, but really, is it all that bad that I've dropped Maths and Sciences for the HSC? I was never any good at them anyways. On the other hand, I do actually enjoy my other subjects, and wouldn't it be better to continue something I'm doing well in and enjoy rather than take up some subjects I completely fail at and hate?
My brothers say to take risks while you're young, so you don't regret it when you get older. My parents only seem to want to force their expectations on me. *sigh* Oh the trials of my life, so trivial and insignificant in comparison to the rest of the world.
Well, I think I'm done rambling for the moment.
