As of right now (Eastern Standard Time), I do not give the school permission to give me a B. Oh, and since I declared it in writing, it’s totally true. Unfortunately, this is not how the world works.

But as with any system, there are always a few special, obnoxious people who cross the line and disturb the sacred balance. Meet the classic hallway disruptors: those […]
School-sponsored field trips come every year like clockwork. Upperclassmen relay stories to underclassmen of the pranks and incidents that occurred on their trips, creating a sense of entitlement among the younger students.
