The Morning Meal Club

The Morning Meal Club

Any words come to mind when you hear the phrase, "high school"?
FUN                                                    PARTY 
                          YOUNG LOVE                   maybe YOLO?

 As seen in top-of-the-notch, non-fictional films such as High School Musical and Grease, you can concur that, in fact, that is true. We often break into perfect harmonies simultaneously in the most uneventful parts of the day, and the hardest thing you'll ever have to experience is only that on-set of 24 hours where your inhumanly large doubts  force you to believe that, that hunk-of-a-piece-of-man-candy likes the girl who is only 2.5% less ugly than you are. However, putting aside the fact that 15-18 years olds actually show the appearance of your typical 40 year-old man...high school pretty much sucks. Surprised? Don't worry. Feel free to go grab a shot of orange juice to let this really sink in. 'Cause it's true. For us (The Morning Meal Club), we've really struggled with this. Gabriella Montez has failed me completely. You actually have homework and studying before you can become the most successful chemist in the entire universe. So much of it actually, that no one even knows you exist. Was anyone else blind-sided by this? Because, like, I'm still suffering from the aftermath. I bet you also didn't know that painting trees doesn't actually give you detention credit and drag-racing will land you a nice, solid seat in jail. Seriously, take it from someone with first-hand experience. Society never prepared me for this. IT JUST DOESN'T WORK. Still don't believe it? Why don't you try skipping basketball practice to try out for your school musical? Yeah. That's right. Don't come crying to us from your disabilities rehab center when your legs fall off from those 169 ladder-sprints. What a b-slap of reality that'll be...BUT DON'T LOSE HOPE! Even if your summer job search did not land you at a ridiculously expensive country club, you can have new high school dreams to aspire to...may I refer you to our most favored, iconic movie: The Breakfast Club. That'll make you say good-morning to reality...'cause if you say anything else, there's a 99.679% chance you will be cussed-out. It's the perfect blend of people, drama, punishment, and as said by the man Andrew Clark, "You ask me one more question and I'm beating the s--- out of you." ...Sound familiar yet? Let this be your refreshing drink of cooled water. I bet you're saying to yourself, "Now this makes sense!" I couldn't have put it better myself. Welcome to high school!  Now you can feel prepared! And here, we will post all of our advice and experiences for moral support. Feeling disoriented? Feeling like your cheeks are being duct-taped together? Well here's one more token of truth from the one and only John Bender to consider before you get up for school again on that lovely Monday morning.

"Screws fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place."

It isn't great. It's actually awful. It's almost like having Carly Rae Jepsen rock you to sleep on a bed of fiery  nails while One Direction eats away at your eyebrows. But it works. Between times of severe awkward and heartache and just plain frustration, you can find a bit of funny and maybe even make it out alive...maybe.
