During my first year of high school, I was pretty much a loner/reject kid. I hung out with maybe two or three people during lunch, and one or two during classes, but that was pretty much it. Total nerds/geeks get very little respect in the traditional school system, which focuses far too much on things that don't matter, like looks, money, or athletic ability.

From my second year of high school til I graduated with my Associate's in Arts degree, I was on the same campus, the local Community College, haha. Things were Totally different there. for all intents and purposes, I was popular, or at least respected. I fit in mostly with the weird kids, the gamer kids, and the geeks. We all gathered in the far corner of the campus grill during free periods and hung out, played games on our laptops or played cards and shit. I hung out with a couple of the kids who would be considered really popular in regular high schools, but they were alright. Pretty much everyone at my school came to get away from regular schools for some reason or another, so pretty much everyone was nice and cool. The older kids also hung out with the kids in lower grades too, though usually not freshman, since they were kept in an area of campus that we didn't typically go to, so there wasn't any of that class of 07, 08, etc competition.

But yeah. Pretty much I fit with the gamer/geek/weird people, haha.
