Money problems as well as other stuff

This is really just a small vent of sorts.

For the love of me, I hate my school sometimes. I want to graduate, don't get me wrong, but graduating is an accomplishment and yet they make us pay for our yearbook as well as our cap and gown. It makes one no longer give a flying fudge about ever waking the grass. It isn't even real grass(it's turf...fake grass)! Maybe I'm the only one flipping out but its been pretty stressful for me to pay for those things, altogether it's 100$, and with my family's current financial status, we don't have money to throw around. Now would would think...

Why not just graduate but not walk the grass? That way you don't need the cap and gown.

Haha, it's not the easy kind sir...or lady. See, if I don't pay that 100$ before I graduate...I don't graduate. YES, I AM BASICALLY PAYING MY SCHOOL TO LET ME GRADUATE. I swear, that cap, gown, and yearbook crap is a front, I just know it. It's a set-up. Even if I don't want them, I still have to pay? What the fudge!

Now, don't get me wrong, we can reduce those dues. By selling cheesecake, cookie dough, or...Tupperware?

Yes....&%$@ING TUPPERWARE!

Now, the more you sell, the more your dues are reduced, seems fair, but you only get almost 10% of the profits! And it's not something you get instantly either, consumers place the order and wait a few months for their product. If I wanted cheesecake or cookie dough, I'd just go to the market and spend a few bucks. These cheesecakes are not worth their price(20 for 12 slices) in disgusting flavors no less. Yeah right, I'll go to Path Mart and get a 12 slice Fudge Brownie cheesecake for 5$ thank you very much! (So obviously this means no one ever buys) It's the same deal with the cookie dough. By the time they get what they ordered, they have probably forgotten what they bought.

Then there is the matter of Tupperware. We all know what that is. Those huge sets of plastic containers that are meant to keep our food fresh that are always on sale in WalMart. Same deal as the former two, you place an order and in a few months you get your crap(expensive crap at that).

So why not just get it at the store?

Exactly. Now you're using common sense!

Either way, the senior class treasury looks like crap, with barely any sales to make prom free. Because that's what it's for, not only to reduce your dues, but reduce the price of prom, and the rest, which is a good deal, go to the school's pocket. I'm glad for this though, I don't have to go to prom, I could give less of a fudge about prom. It's going to be around 140$ a ticket. So if I wanted to bring a guest, I'd have to pay 280$ for the both of us...

Do you know how much I can stuff my face at Olive Garden for that much money? That's not a bad idea in fact!

I'd go on about how the school is trying to make us seniors pay out of our own pocket by comparing what we are able to sell to what the lowerclassmen sell, but then I'd probably get Carpel Tunnel after all the notes I had to write for Anatomy class. So I'll stop here.
