Man I can't wait for my sis to get vale and use her speech as a chance to talk shit about IB and show complete ambivalence to the hamster wheel
Wait until you get the diploma at the end of this year and it's something you could photoshop in 10 minutes. Doubly painful when you're 4 months into college. This girl at my HS had a party and people had to show her their diploma to get in. IB is a bizarro universe where Mean Girls is real.
I saw them last year, it was seriously demoralizing. All this stress for that? Ugh. I totally agree on the Mean Girls thing. The clique dynamics are unbearable. There's also a lot of weird sexual tension, too, since a lot of people only hang out with the same 30 kids from IB. There's bound to be some crossing lines eventually, right?
