2011 Graduates.
Congratulations. Greatness never takes a break, so you shouldn't either.
This time of year always makes me remember my high school days. It wasn't that long ago but jeeze I really miss high school. As most of you may know, despite how amazingly AMAZING I look now, I wasn't the coolest cat in high school. Actually, I was extremely awkward. I was tall, went to all of my classes, flat chested (like an ironing board) and had a BIG BUTT (some things never change). I am also convinced I started the whole "I'm-too-cool-for-my-clothes-to-match" trend. My motto was...
"Can't leave the door until i have 4 colors or more."
I may not have gotten 50 balloons on my birthday, but I'm glad to say the friends I had back then, I still have. And there are some other people who I wasn't so cool with back then who I'm cool with now (Thank you facebook). Well what does it even mean to be popular? Let's turn to Dictionary.com shall we?
Popular (adjective)
1.
regarded with favor, approval, or affection by people ingeneral:
Looking back, I always tell people I wasn't popular in high school, because I realize the "popular" people were the ones with the most haters. But then I realized everyone KNEW of me...
- Because I was the tallest black girl in the school.
- My best friend was just as tall as me so we were like twin towers.
- I sang a solo in chorus once. ♫"Far to distant lands theeee nightingale *INHALE*... now flyeth"♫

Songs that were hot while I was in high school:
- Pop, Lock and Drop it- Huey
- Wipe Me Down- Lil Boosie
- Pretty Ricky- Grind With (On) Me
- Did anyone else notice the "Grind With Me" clean version makes absolutely NO sense?
I like to call it the age of the one hit wonders. Smh.
