Stick to the Status Quo
Zeke:
You can bet
There's nothin' but net
When I am in a zone and on a roll
But I've got a confession
My own secret obsession
And it's making me lose control
Jocks:
Everybody gather 'round
Zeke(spoken):
Well if Troy can tell his secret than I can tell mine...I bake
Jock(spoken):
What?
Zeke(spoken):
I love to bake! Strudels, scones, even apple pandowdy
Jocks:
Not another sound
Zeke(spoken):
Someday I hope to make the perfect creme brulee
Jocks:
No, no, no, nooooooooooo
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
If you wanna be cool
Follow one simple rule
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo
Martha Cox:
Look at me And what do you see
Intelligence beyond compare
But inside I am stirring
Something strange is occuring
It's a secret I need to share
Brainiacs:
Open up, dig way down deep
Martha Cox(spoken):
Hip hop is my passion!
I love to pop and lock and jam and break!
Braniac(spoken):
Is that even legal?
Brainiacs:
Not another peep
Martha(spoken):
It's just dancing.
Sometimes I think it's cooler than homework.
Brainiacs:
No, no, no, noooooooooo
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
It is better by far
To keep things as they are
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo
Skaterdude:
Listen well I'm ready to tell
About a need that I cannot deny
Dude, there's no explanation
For this awesome sensation
But I'm ready to let it fly

I found the lyrics of this song from the show High School Musical. Actually, pH found them but neweiz what I wanted to say was that it's all wrong. Stupid status quio, does that even exist here in the Philippines? Maybe yes, maybe no, who knows? How about in our school? I guess status quo doesn't exist in MaSci. Though there may be distinctions bet. the GC's, the rakistas, the girly-girls, the choir and etc. I still don't see a status quo here. That's good becuase a person is not only limited to one thing. SO what if you play basketball and sing? I am GC yet my passion is dancing. That's why I highlighted those part of the song becuase I could relate. So what if you're a jock and you bake? Isn't it more amazing if you're versatile or multi-talented? Can't you be two or three people in one? I'm sure you can. I don't even like being labeled. I do accept it when people call me GC because that's what I am but I don't want to be labeled as only that because there's more to me than a girl who's concentrated on her studying. There's more to a person that what he/she shows in the outside. I fell lucky that status quo doesn't exist in MaSci. To be labeled and to concentrate on just one part of yourself is just wrong. One should feel free to be good and excell in as many things or in as many aspects as he/she can. Isn't that right? This song really made me think. Even if you're just one person you could still be a hundred in one. A person has many things to offer. He is not just limited to one talent or ability. The status quo is just a silly idea they made up in order to remain on top. Being versatile is still better than just being really good at one thing. That's what I believe in.
