What crowd were you in High School?

It's kinda hard to figure out what crowd I was.

I graduated 6th in my class (and a friend of mine was very upset because I never studied. I did my homework, and took tests when I needed to, but I rarely if ever studied. She on the other hand studied 5-6 hours a night). I had a 4.0 GPA, so I guess I was part of the brain crowd.

I ran track, played basketball. I lettered in both sports. Also lifted a little bit of weights. I guess I was part of the jock crowd.

I played in the marching and concert band. I was 2nd string clarinet from 7th-10th grade (last year I played). I have medals from playing the clarinet, my most special one is my blue one I got for playing a solo in the 7th grade. I guess I was part of the nerd crowd.

I had friends in every crowd. Some close, some just polite friends. This includes the "weird" crowd, the "popular" crowd, and any other crowd.

Looking back, I kinda feel like I didn't really belong in any crowd. I never fit the "norm".
 
I floated lol

I knew everyone and everyone knew me. :) I wasnt the most popular of people by any means but I made it a point to know and be known. People would always tell me " Its so much fun walking the halls with you because you talk to EVERYONE"

As far as what I did....
Freshman year I was jock, sophmore and junior years I was a choir/Drama person and Senior year I discovered hockey and so I didnt relaly do anything with school after that ;)
 
I kind of fit into lots of different groups. I take advanced junior classes (i'm a sophomore) so I end up hanging out w/ lots of brainy kids because that's who I see all day. I'm also in marching band, and i'm becoming a huge band geek, but I don't really care.

But I have a group of friends who I've known for a long time, and even though we all have other friends too, we're closer to each other than anyone else I think. Most of us take advanced classes, and we're all involved in different activities, but we still hang out w/ each other.
 
I don't really know what "crowd" I fit into. I think I mix between the "brains that procastinate" (meaning we all take AP and honors classes but study as little as possible...haha) and the "band" crowd, even though I am not in band. And these two crowds overlap, too.
 

Well, living up here in the "sticks" of Northern Michigan, we had:

The Jerks & The Jocks
The Brains & The Band
The Freaks & The FARMERS!!!!

Where was I?

Cruising between them, I guess........... :rolleyes:
 
I was friends w/ nerds and jocks, but was in the band, so I hung out w/ mostly band people. So, I guess I was a Band Geek! :teeth:
 
I wasn't really a nerd (there was no such thing in my High School...I guess 30 students in my class made it too small for that.) I was in the group that got really good grades, was in AP classes, etc.
 
I didn't really belong to any cliques...I suppose I was considered a 'brain' since I made mostly A's with little studying, and I was basically a loner and felt invisible most of the time. I had one best friend throughout my first 3 years and a few other friends in various clicques, but I was never part of any 'group'. Then in my junior year, I 'blossomed', so to speak...I started dating and discovered I was much more popular with boys than with girls. I began hanging out with a much wilder crowd outside of school, drinking and partying...anything to fit in, I guess. :rolleyes:

All in all, it wasn't a particularly happy period in my life. I made a lot of mistakes, I have lots of regrets and there are times I wish I could do it all over again and do it right this time. On the other hand, those experiences made me who I am today (and I like that person very much - most of the time anyway!). Furthermore, I think as a result of my experiences, I will be a much better parent to my girls when those oh-so-difficult teen years roll around.

Funny, the Cheerleaders in our school aren't popular at all! They're aren't the most gorgeous girls in the school and most of the school has no respect for them. It's our Danceline/Kickline that gets the attention. :)

Currently, I'm still in High School. One more year left! YAY! Can't wait for college. I was quite ugly in middle school, and unfortunately, thats how most of my peers in my grade see me as. The year above me, the seniors that just graduated, well I hung out with the hockey boys and was accepted by them. I got attention, and for the first time I felt pretty.

Funny, they thought I was sweet, fun, caring, and pretty. The boys in my grade on the team wouldn't give me the time of day. I wonder how this year will turn out?

Last year I was in the jock/hockey guy group, but for the most part, I have friends who are band geeks as they affectionately call themselves. I'm an "art nerd", but I'm very much mainstream, which usually annoyed the art crowd. I don't know, I'm part of a few groups, yet I don't completely fit into any one of those groups.
