High School Stereotypes, part 3

So, this is the end of my series for high school stereotypes (finally!).  Today, I'm going to target my own kind: nerds.  Yes, those overachieving students who are always on time for class and sit in the front.  Honestly, I'll probably just be observing my own habits and just laughing at myself in this blog.  Although, my friend Tales of High School Bookworm said that I'm a pretty cool nerd, so give me some credit. ;)

So, the life of a nerd can vary.  Some nerds are really athletic or artistic as well as being smart (they're the lucky ones).  Some, on the other hand, are purely academic, and any other things that they are good at somehow relate back to academics.  That's the kind of nerd I am, although I really like to sing as well.  I'm not an athlete at all, and I can't draw to save my life.  Give me an essay to write, though, and I'll give you some A+ material. :)  See, even that right there was nerdy.  I can't escape myself, but that's ok because I'm completely confident in my nerdyness!

Now, don't get the wrong impression that nerds aren't fun because they definitely are, and they're usually some of the nicest people too.  That's why I love nerdy guys.  They (almost) always have their heads securely on their shoulders, and they're just really down-to-earth.  So, if there are any nerds out there reading this, stand up and be proud because there's nothing to be ashamed of.  My teacher once told me, "Nerds make the world go 'round." And I realized that she was absolutely right.  Where would be without nerds?  No computers?  No iPods?  No TV?  How would we survive?!?  Haha I'm saying this all to say that, no matter what group you consider yourself to be in, be proud of who you are because you wouldn't be you without it.

Comment below and tell me what group you think you fall under and 1 reason why you're proud to be in that group.

Sincerely,
A Very Proud, Self-Proclaimed Nerd

High school stereotypes, part 2

So, last time, I tackled the popular kids for High School Stereotypes.  This time around, I'm gonna talk about the anime fans.  Yes, you know who I'm talking about.  I think there's a group of them in every school, and they are quite obvious.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on the anime fans, but these are just...observations.

First of all, they all stick together...very closely.  That way, they can discuss the newest edition of their favorite anime book together because no one else really knows what they are talking about.  Have you ever really tried to understand what they are talking about?  It's like a big Japanese fest, and considering I don't understand a single word of Japanese, I feel like the best thing to do is just smile and nod because that's the only thing I know how to do.

Secondly, they usually have a really interesting fashion sense, inspired by Japanese culture.  And they aren't afraid to speak their mind, even if what's on their mind is a little off-topic.  It leaves a lot of people really confused.

But, I have to admit that the anime fans that I know are really nice and really easy to talk to.  Sure, sometimes they can be a little off-topic, but when you get used to it, they can be cool people.  Who knows, maybe they can even teach you how to say some phrases in Japanese... ;)
