Ugh, I feel like such a dork. This is not really me: from the outfit (I know Mabel said it was “super cute”, but I don’t care: she’s not the one dancing and shaking her bottom in public), to the entire “peppy, happy” attitude.
And it’s not like I don’t enjoy stuff. Of course I do, but trying to smile and cheer and yell and kick to support some guys beating other guys on a football field… it’s not really my scene. Whoever likes to do this kind of thing? Good for them, really. But to me? It’s just a matter of taste… and to be over with this.
SOME TIME LATER…
Not gonna lie… at first I wasn’t sure if this was really for me (and a part of me still thinks it’s sort of, you know, out of character for me), but believe it or not… I’m actually starting to see some perks to be part of the cheerleading squad.
First of all: like, IT’S HARD. Real effort and training. Good Lord, I know it should’ve been obvious since this is a physical activity and all, but I underestimate all the energy and discipline it takes to be competitive on this.
And that’s the weird part: I was a slacker! Just a couple of months ago, the idea I’d be so invested in this (or in anything, really) would be just INCONCEIVABLE. Like, I struggled to just work the very, VERY bare minimum at the shack, and now it’s part of my weekly routine to dedicate hours to train, exercise and practice dances and routines? Is the world upside down?
Then again, c’mon: this is Gravity Falls, is it really the strangest thing anyone has seen around here?
Well, judging by my friends and family’s reactions, it surely seems so! It’s almost a little offensive, you know? Like, they’re so shocked I actually put an effort in something for once.
BTW, did I say “months ago”? Good heaven, has already passed so much time? I was so sure it would be just a thing of a single week, and then, here I am, going with the rest of the girls to the games shouting my heart out.
It's fun to think about it, and well, where will this like, lead me?
IDK, it would be fun to figure out…
EVEN MORE TIME LATER…
I’m SOOOO super excited! My first day as a college cheerleader in USC will be today! Can you believe it! And to think this started as only some stupid bet, and then like, this, THIS, OF ALL THINGS was what got me a schoolarship! A future! Ha! I guess I won by losing!
Sometimes I look back at some old pictures: it’s almost as if that high school redhead slacker was a completely different person, you know? I was a total tomboy with NO fashion style. My skin was so white and pasty, ugh, but I guess living in California, it was just a matter of time I’d get a more sun kissed color (THANK GOD!)
I also can see how I changed my hair. IDK, I guess being with other girls kinda gave me motivation to sort of like, you know, be more playful with my looks. I started to dye it lighter and lighter. And then like, I went full blonde, and everybody was saying I looked so super duper cute!
It was kinda weird the last time I dyed my hair was like, almost a year ago and it stayed blonde, but hey: I guess that makes me a natural (or supernatural) blonde! LOL!
The only downside is that at college level, you're expected to get decent grades and stuff, but hey: my looks helped me before, I think I can still make them work for me. In part that’s why I love wearing my uniform even when there’s no game. I begged a teacher “PLEASE, HELP ME, IF MY GRADES DON’T GO UP I MIGHT BE KICKED OUT OF THE SQUAD, YOU DON’T WANT THAT, RIGHT?” :(
ANYWAY, I gotta go. I’ll write to you later about how everything went! GO TROJANS!
XOXO
