What do I do about the EPIDEMIC of freshman cutting in line? I haven’t been to the caf once this year when 0 freshman have cut me in line… It’s a PROBLEM.
I KNOW. Back in my day (freshman year), I used to feel a possibly irrational level of fear when interacting with the upperclassmen. I looked forward to the day that I could one day instill that level of fear in those around me. It seems as though that time may never come. This is proven to me every day by the absolute onslaught of freshmen who gallop before me in the cafeteria line. I honestly think that the only way to deal with this problem is to forget about all concepts of maturity or playing by the rules. There is no more taking the high road. As individuals who have been overtaken time and time again by the ravenous freshmen, I think that it’s time we start fighting back. I plan to end this year by stooping to new lows, and I urge you to join me. For example, I will insist on cutting people off, not just in the cafeteria, but while walking into other rooms as well. Instead of holding doors open for people, I will go back and close them quickly behind me. I’m sure that through the little things, such as inconveniencing everyone around us, we can truly bring the Chadwick community together.
My dreams all have songs by Steely Dan playing in the background. Should I go back to the world of 17776?
I mean, technically speaking, the world of 17776 will become our own on April 7, 2026, so all you have to do is wait! This is an if you know you know (#read my last article in The Mainsheet about 17776 and then read 17776).
Dear Hope, How do I reduce the usage of memes (6-7, etc) in my middle school drama classes? Every other word I say has the students yelling out random words or phrases, and it is confusing my train of thought. Signed, Concerned Theater Teacher with a Mustache
If I were you, I would start contributing to the problem by yelling out random words or phrases as well. Of course, it’s difficult for a teacher to focus on teaching when students are always screaming about memes, but students may not always realize the level of disruption they are causing to your class. It’s a completely different level of distraction when the teacher starts yelling random stuff when the students are trying to focus. Every once in a while, just yell a collection of numbers, words, and phrases. Eventually, your students will naturally come to the conclusion that they are getting a taste of their own medicine, and they’ll simply stop doing what they’re doing.
Everyone always tells me that I smell really bad and that I don’t shower. I do shower and carry deodorant around in my backpack, but it doesn’t work. What do I do?
You KNOW it’s bad when other people have to tell you that you smell. That’s a really uncomfortable conversation to have, and I just want to give a shoutout to the brave friends who are looking out for you in this difficult time. Anyway, if the typical hygiene solutions for a human aren’t working for you, you could try using products that are more commonly used to improve the smell of a home or business. Maybe invest in some scented candles or incense and just carry them around with you everywhere you go.
None of my friends have TikTok and they won’t download it to watch my awesome TikToks. What do I do? 🙁
You could try printing out the individual frames of all of your TikTok videos and making little flip books. Let’s bring analog back!
How do I deal with my stress related to the “clock of doom” with the seconds counting down on the Middle School building?
The clock is forever. You are temporary.
