Yo!

Lol...hello....

What's up, people? How's life. Find everything ok?

I'm posting randomly, btw, no tips or any sort. Hahahhaha!

Oh wait, I do have one.

In SN right, there are many times when popularity would get you somewhere, or get somebody else somewhere. I used to find this very hard to cope with because I think it is absolutely unfair and stupid, and thus emo for a very long time. I'm still irked by popularity votes now, but I don't take it to heart. Popularity is inevitable, but what's important is that you don't let those decisions made by teachers/classmates annoy you, or make you sad. Because it's not worth it, nobody can fight against popularity, you just have to mind your own business, and life goes on. You'll forget about it soon enough. :)

Another thing. Cliques are, and I hate to say this, abudant, in SN. Most of you are probably in cliques already as you read this post, but I'd like to caution against being too attached to one whilst still in your Secondary One year. Who knows, you might get dumped, sooner or later. The more attached you are to a group of people, the more the hurt. Most cliques formed in Sec One don't usually go on into the next four years of secondary school life, you will drift off, eventually, and once that happens, you might find that you won't have anyone else to be with in your class anymore, because all this while you've been so closely knitted within your clique that you've failed to socialise among your other classmates.

When you finally realize that, it's too late to catch up, because then everyone would have already found their own friends, and it's usually hard to get people to know you again, to strip away their initial impression of you, I mean, like once they see you they think: Oh I associate her with so and so and who and blah.

So it's always the best to mix around, and don't too glued onto a certain group of people. Be friends with everyone, so when you finally break away from your original clique, you'll have lots more company to receive you. Gladly. :)

I've been meaning to tell you guys the above since like, I started UGGSS. But I never got to say it until now, I didn't write about it in the beginning because I didn't want to scare anyone into thinking that making friends is hard in SN, I just want to let you know that getting dumped is part and parcel of SN life, and once you DO get dumped, it's not good to be depressed for the rest of the year. So that's why you should start socializing with everyone, and try not to get into the clique trend. :)

Hahhaha, that's all I guess.

How's Drama for all of you? Everytime I see those purple files I get tingles all over cos it remidned me of my sec one drama days. Oh yeah, I'll post a quick note on how to get into DEP later on. :)

Until then, peace be with you.

Love,

SN Girl 1
