Life and Other Disasters

There is a phase in every person's life when they can't help but wonder, "What have I done in all these years that has made a contribution to this world? Aren't we all just a tiny little speck of dust as compared to the universe which spreads infinitely? What am I doing with my life? Why am I here? And where did I come from?"
Yes, I took the quiz on FB and it turns out I'm from Neptune :|

It is in these few moments of introspection that we start to question most of the things around us and within us. These thoughts keep coming back to us during a boring Bio lecture, a never-ending Chem class, and most often while sitting blankly in front of an open book(a book so bulky that you break sweat just upon turning the pages)

When you're down in the dumps, when rock bottom seems so high up, when you're torn between trying to enjoy life and doing something worthwhile, when laughing at the littlest and the silliest things is as good as life can get, when you want to fly but are tied down to your responsibilities, when you literally keep begging for change, when you want to write happy blog post but are condemned to crib about life, when 'content' seems like a word used only in fairy tales, when you're born to party but forced to study, when death doesn't seem to be that bad of an idea, just say to yourself "It's just a phase, it will pass."

You know you're a 12th grader when...

You know you're a 12th grader when:

• your boards are less than a year away(which can go by in a blink of an eye) and the highest of your concerns is the pimple on your forehead
• 24x7x29 seems infinitesimally small
• your day's productiveness is measured by the number of hours you spent studying
• you miss watching cartoons like 'The Flintstones' & 'The Adam's family' and start tagging the 2nd std kids at your school as lucky
• you consider the feeling you get when you are given 4 days off from school as "Euphoria"
• the only thought on your mind, most of the time is "Why O' why didn't I get swine flu?!"
• your friends force you into entertainment and punish you for not having heard the latest hit song no MTV
• you start planning for college, what to do and what not to do at college and make a shopping list for the same
• you consider the song 'The Climb' by Miley Cyrus to be very inspirational. And shamelessly admit it too
• your facebook status reads "..." and has been that way for the past 3 months
• watching a movie like 'Fashion' on a Saturday evening is the highlight of your week
• completing the last mission of GTA SA seems more important to you, than getting yourself to study bio molecules
  
• you call up your friends at 5 in the morning and expect them to explain "Molecular Basis Of Inheritance" to you
• you're so desperate for a break that you sign up for an essay-writing competition, even though you are well aware that the topic is 'horticulture'
• you start making a list of all the things to do after boards
• you claim that you're sleep deprived even after sleeping through an entire math class.
• you're speechless when asked if you did anything yesterday that was worth mentioning
• you're constantly thinking about time travel
• you 're caught saying things like "I've been studying so much that I'm putting on weight"
• you're planning to write a book on "How To Send Your Parents/Teachers To Pluto"
• your blog posts have a typical biology answer touch to it( with big words, written point-wise, and make absolutely no sense but you hope beyond hope that it is well received)
• there isn't enough time for all the nothing you want to do!
