Kyra Gines, freshman, imitates the life of a State High student during AP and finals week.
Everyone’s high school experience is always a full of both the good and bad moments. However, being a student at State High is an experience like no other. The good moments are even better, but the bad moments are much more terrible. In compliance with a variety of State High students, I have a compiled a list entitled “Terrible Moments at State High that Every Student Knows to be True.”
When…
your lunch account is empty and it’s your second PTO
your school is an active construction zone
your friends steal your Extra gum
the bathroom stall has no lock
you slip on ice crossing the street
the crossing guards make you wait
you get a tardy for arriving at 8:11
your school doesn’t have a floor
you have 8 minutes to get to class but it takes 10 to cross the street
Jason calls you to the office
you worship Bob O’Donnell in hopes of a snow day
school ends at 3:16 but you don’t get out of the parking lot until 3:45
you walk in your A day class on a B day
you forget your homeroom
the classroom temperatures range from the Tundra to the Sahara Desert
someone forgets deodorant at homecoming
the frozen yogurt machine is broken
you forget your gym clothes
you have 0/20 community service hours
you have to exit the South building to get to your class in the South building
you have AP exams and finals in the same week
getting a study hall in a classroom
having a study hall at the end of the day as a Senior
your teacher leaving the windows open even though it’s below freezing outside
being absent on turkey bowl day
Although it is fun to tear our school apart and make fun of all of the things wrong with it, if these our are only issues, we have it pretty well at State High. These twenty-five terrible moments don’t seem as terrible when you’re receiving a high quality education from wholesome teachers while being surrounded by all of your friends. State High junior, Sara Washell, describes the situation perfectly, “I get really heated when the frozen yogurt machine is broken but at the end of the day, I’m here for math class, not fro-yo.”
