A sprinkle of seriousness, one cup of immaturity, one pint of mischievousness acts and one gallon of fun memories-these things are the ingredients for a one of a kind high school experience. Seriousness for the stress that we encounter on our academics, immaturity for our childish decisions, mischievous acts for the troubles we get into and the fun memories that we can never forget.

 The first ingredient is a sprinkle of seriousness. As a high school student, we can’t avoid the stress that we suffer especially when we need to complete the requirements that our teachers give us like assignments, quizzes and projects. Even though we experience a hard time making these requirements and trying to pass it before the deadline, we have to admit that because of these, we’re able to figure out new ways to be creative, learn something new and have fun.

The second ingredient is one cup of immaturity. As a high school student, we can’t avoid being immature in different situations. Sometimes we give too much attention about the gibberish opinions that we hear from others instead of our own progress. Even though we experience failures due to our immaturity, we have to admit that because of these, we’re able to learn from our own mistakes.

The third ingredient is a pint of mischievous acts. As a high school student, we can’t avoid being mischievous and sometimes we get into trouble because of our mischief. For example, trying to run from the guard when he catches you entering the school without an I.D. Even though we can’t help ourselves in seeking for trouble, we have to admit that these bring unforgettable memories.

The last ingredient is a gallon of fun memories. As a high school student, creating special moments is the one that we should not miss. We can’t miss having a group of friends where we share our thoughts, feeling and our public display of abnormality. We can’t miss joining clubs and contests where we sometimes lose and where we sometimes win but the important thing that we experience from these contests is the lesson that we learn. We can’t also miss having our own crush who we can’t avoid stalking day by day. Even though sometimes it brings us a negative effect, it’s a memory that we have to treasure.

These ingredients are a perfect mix for a one of a kind high school experience. We can never deny that the memoirs that our high school life leaves us are worth treasuring even if sometimes, we tend to let it fade with the wind because of the pain it brought us but still, it values the experience that will forever remain in our hearts.

From all the insanity that we shared to our classmates to the clarity that we have obtained from our own experiences, we have to admit that these things will be remembered when we leave high school and by the time that we will have our own children, we have to admit that we will share this bittersweet recipe to our children.
