For Sale: A+ Average
July 4, 2016
I’m sick and tired of sitting back in the desk chewing the top of pencil right off as everyone else stares at their papers. I’m sick and tired of wasting seven hours every day to die of boredom. I’m sick and tired of being the archetype. Sick and tired of being the athlete. The aspiring author. The amazing artist. The advanced student. The accomplished wonder child of the 21st century. And I’m sick and tired of that A+ average!
