We're all Freaks and Geeks.

Freaks and Geeks was all about the typical divided groups that are formed when we get to highschool. I deffinetely think that these groups still exist today, but are sometimes a little more subtle. There is the group of kids who don't care about school and never show up to class, let alone do their homework. Then, there are the jocks which always create their own category no matter what school you're in. They think they are superior because of their athletic ability and keep good grades to stay on the team. But in our school some of those groups mix together, but somehow we are all still trying to fit in. I believe that not many of us realize it when we're picking out clothes at the mall, or getting ready in the morning, we just think it makes us happy and secure. I personally love fashion and I am aware that wearing what is in style reflects that I want to fit in. But for me, I use it as a way of expression and creativity. We often don't take the time to think about why what we are wearing makes us feel a certain way, because we're just used to it. Then there are the people that say "I don't care what people think".. but they do. We like when we can relate ourselves to others because thats what helps us make friends and be social. Even people drinking and smoking is symbolic because if nobody did those things then why would anyone want to? They wouldn't be able to relate to anyone, so instead, they would go along with what others are(or aren't) doing. A lot of us base our decisions off of what others do or how they would react. We can't help it if we like being praised for good grades, fashionable clothes, or getting into the college of our dreams. I learn more and more each day to do what makes me happy; unfortunetely, sometimes it's just hard to differenciate between what makes me truely happy or something that gives me satisfaction because others accept it.
