Q: How can I be happier in school?

Q: How can I be happier in school?

A: School sucks, doesn’t it? But don’t you worry, little future changer of the world, because soon the very nature of the way we are educated is going to improve!

At the moment the best you can do is try to avoid the people who make your day worse, and focus on things that put a smile on your face. Maybe you can make school into a game. Assign points for each class that you make it to on time, each homework assignment turned in, each bully avoided, and whatever else you can think of. Then try each day to get a better score than the day before. Or, maybe, you could take up some form of martial art and just kick the crap out of anyone that bothers you!Now, I wouldn’t normally advocate violence, but I have been testing this new margarita maker for the last couple of hours and I think it may have gone to my head a bit.

Beyond those things you will simply have to console yourself with the thought of how wonderful everything will be in the very near future. We will no longer have to attend class in small rooms with mean kids and unsympathic teachers. Information will be beamed wirelessly straight into our brains from our pocket computers! The closest we will come to human interaction will be holograms showing us various exercises for physical education, or possibly anatomy for physical sciences.

Until these amazing changes happen, I’m afraid you will have to deal with a certain amount of unpleasantness. I handle such things with a couple of cocktails, probably a Bloody Mary or two. You, of course, should find a suitable substitute if you don’t have access to your parents liquor cabinet. Maybe a soda, or some ice cream. Whatever helps you unwind and feel just a little more sane.
