Contradictory

I'm in high school at the moment, which means I'm on Facebook.  And it's winter time, which means the Winter Formal is coming up.  How do these relate?  Many girls I'm 'friends' with are advertising themselves for Formal.

Same thing, right?

I have never seen this desperation before.  On Facebook, at least; because let's face it, no creature is more needy or desperate than a high school girl.  Maybe a baby sea turtle.

Anyway, these are the same girls who are all "No, you make me a sammich," and "I'm independent and happy to be single."  What happens between late November and early January that drives these wannabe suffrage movement young women to stereotypes in those Valentine's Day movies?

How I hate this movie...

I'm legitimately confused.  Yes, girls can be particularly fickle at times, but to pull a 180 like that?  And only for a few months?  It's like they never even...

Cue the hipster light bulb.

Such masks they wear, that they can hide so cleverly!  How did I not see it before?  Of course they care, of course they want to be asked out to Formal so badly that they'll advertise themselves on Facebook.  Here I was, pitying them for their seemingly contradictory state and believing they couldn't choose a frame of mind.  You win this round, high school girls.  You win this round...


Stay colorful,
