19 minutes. ask a random kid today if she wants to be popular and she'll tell you no, even if the truth is that if she was in a desert dying of thirst and had the choice between a glass of water and instant popularity, she'll probably choose the latter. see, you can't admit to wanting it, because that makes you less cool. to be truly popular, its what you MAKE yourself. i wonder if anyone works any harder at anything than kids do at being popular. i mean, even air traffic controllers and the president of the United States take vacations. but look at your average high school student and you'll see someone who's putting in time twenty four hours a day, for the entire length of the school year. so how do you crack that inner sanctum? well, here's the catch: it's not up to you. what's important is what everyone else thinks of how you dress, what you eat for lunch, what shows you watch yon TIVO, what music is on your ipod. i've always sort of wondered though: if everyone's opinion is what matters, then do you ever really have one of your own?? jodi picoult - PLEASE BUY HER BOOKS FOR ME!!! im nuts about it!!! |
