Creative Writing Class: Smells like Teen Spirit.
It's classic. Never changes. We think we're original. But we all say "legit"and "that's what she said". We all listen to the same things. I don't know a person who doesn't know all the words to "I Love College". We all hate the government - when we know absolutely nothing about politics. We've all become atheists. We all want to legalize marijuana. We all think we're so funny when we repeat the same jokes. We all wear the same clothes; hey there Hollister, Abecrombie&Fitch, TNA, American Eagle. Or, we become the kids that dye our hair black, smoke in the corner, wear all black and band t-shirts to music we think no one knows about and this makes us feel cooler. We go out with our boyfriends...and their friends who hate us. We take pictures and upload them to Facebook. We all admit to our love for music. We'll grow up to be obese. We believe we love our high school sweethearts, and try to change them from their player ways. And they'll say they change, but deep down they know we'll always be used. We dance. We laugh. We play. We'll ignore every message given to us by teachers, but reply to every message given to us through our cells. We will have the older generations calling us stupid and useless. Saying we're getting dumber and dumber. We constantly talk of alcohol, drugs and sex, because that's all we know. We suffer from anxiety and depression. We lack in self-esteem. We want to change the world. But we won't. It's classic. Never changes.

Wow. Just flat out wow. This piece definitely blew me away. It's true though; what older generations think of us as well as how teenagers are these days. We conform to be different. Funny how that works eh?
