Going off topic: Doing different things

It struck me the other day as I was sipping my morning tea and reading the paper. What am I doing with my life? And then I thought, "Oh yeah, I'm doing this." The usual boring things that every person my age is doing. Preparing for college and trying to get volunteer hours at house parties (never happens)  is what most people are doing. But me? Well I'm kind of doing the same thing, except the house party volunteering . I like to volunteer at places where I get cool stuff out of it. No not ACL or SXSW, that's for scrubs and freshman. And no, sorry soup kitchen and homeless shelter, my grandma has got that covered already (you get free lunch out of that I think). I'm talking about skills. Places where I can get skills, "mad skillz". But anyway, this high school thing is getting a little boring. There should really only be three years. Because really, what do you even do senior year? To me, it looks like a whole lot of nothing. Nothing and off campus lunch, big deal. AND junior year is the hardest year right? So, what's up with senior year. Not that I'm looking toward paying rent and stuff, but hey, that makes gap year a legitimate thing. That would give me some opportunities to actually do something. Like get some professional training or just go to college. But then where would I go? Then the whole college application thing would be different since everyone gets out junior year. But that's just going off topic.
