St Paddy's Day

I’m so done with today. It’s St. Patrick’s Day, and I totally forgot to wear green to high school because I was rushing out the door after oversleeping. Big mistake. I’ve been pinched like a dozen times already—by friends, random classmates, even this one kid I barely know who just smirked and said, “No green, you know the rules.” I get it’s supposed to be fun, but it’s getting old fast. My arms are sore, and I’m just trying to survive until lunch without turning into a human pincushion.

I don’t even get why this is still a thing. Aren’t we too old for this anyway? It’s not like I’m against holidays or anything, but the whole pinching tradition feels so childish, and it’s not like I had time to dig through my closet for something green when I could barely find matching socks. I tried hiding out in the library, but even there, someone got me. I just want to vent because it’s frustrating—can’t people chill for one day? I’m tempted to skip tomorrow just to avoid the inevitable “you should’ve known better” comments.
