One of the
most discussed question of all time: how does someone become cool? Well
I know we all want to know the highlights of being cool and part of the
in crowd. Well if you keep reading, you will shortly find out the highs
and lows of being cool.
Along
with wanting to know how to be cool, you might be wondering the details
like what do I need to wear? How do I need to act? What should I do in
order to be liked by the so-called popular kids?
Well I've taken the liberty
to answer that question in ten simple steps. They are the following: (the
order does not matter.)
1.
Be
rebellious; always show you don't care about anything.
2.
Act like you're the only person worth other peoples’ time.
3.
Slouch as much as you can.
4. Don't participate; you should only do it when
you're able to put down something or someone in a comical way.
5.
Grow your hair out long. Always know what the coolest
style is and copy it. (Unless it makes you look dorky)
6. Have baggy gangster clothes, large skater shoes, and dull colored, offensive
tee
shirts (For more information, click on rebellious).
Or if you can't handle that, then at least have a strong personality.
7.
Use slang terms like "wassup" or "that is whack" or other words that are
able to be growls and/or mumbles.
8. When you walk, do it with a slight limp on one leg. But only one, if
you try it with more than one two things will happen: you'll lose the effect
you have on some people. Also you'll look like a zombie doing it.
9.
Whenever you see a friend, always greet him with your "signature wave"
but this might take a little practicing. And don't forget that you want
to be cool so don't do anything too weird.
10. Have a friend that your really tight with be
a sort of back-up friend just in case you do something that might be a
minor step back to becoming cool. One thing you don't want is to have no
friends.
Now that
you know all the steps, it's time to put them into action. One way in doing
that is trying it around the house. Just so you are really good at being
cool when the time comes to show what you can do.
If that
doesn't work then it's time to start from the bottom up, getting as many
friends as possible to show the popular kids that you really are cool.
When that happens, then congratulations! You are now popular!
Now that
you are popular, you get to hang with the "in-crowd" and share gossip,
drama, laughs and okay times. And through all that, you come to realize:
there is no difference as being cool and being normal.
Whenever
people are called cool, it doesn't mean anything. The so-called cool crowd
is in fact sometimes not because all they do is make fun of everyone. They
are no different than you and I, no matter what they think. Even hanging
out with them sometimes can be a real pain. Especially people who create
drama, it is so lame how it's all about he said this and she
said that. If you're not in their group it's for the better.
That's
the problem with middle school; no matter if you're in the cool crowd or
the normal crowd, (I don't even know why the other kids are called normal,
because most of them are anything but that) they're both the same. Even
if you're not a person that everyone knows, or that has the latest fashions,
you still are a cool person because it's our individuality that makes us
cool.
