Poll: Library Situation

The List

Last year, a group of students from the Class of 2008 drew up a list of the “Top Ten Things Incoming Freshman Should Know about LHS”. Currently, this list is hmmm…well…vague, innocent, and administration-happy. And now, it’s time for the Shrinking Quad to revise “The List”.

1. The amount of homework can be disgusting.

2. Dress appropriately for the weather. The lake that forms between the FoLang and Science buildings is unbearable. Can’t the school afford a drain?

3. Breathe. Live in the moment, not in the future.

4. The Quad may seem like this idyllic place, but when thousands of ugly benches and one too many trashcans block the brown grass, it’s not a utopia.

5. Understand that the official school newspaper can be inefficient in delivering news in a timely fashion, except for the final paper of the year, listing what the seniors will be doing the following year.

6. Be wary of school dances.

7. We have a dance studio and a dark room, but they’re hidden away.

8. Our school spirit sucks unless you’re on a sports team.

9. You’ll have a good time if you make it a good time.

10. Sometimes you will have an awful teacher, but the ones who inspire you will buffer the bad ones.

11. There is no weighted GPA.

12. The number of AP classes that you take DOES NOT define who you are, despite what some people think.

13. It is adolescent etiquette to not open the “half” door to the Science building just to be irritating to those who want to enter the building.

14. There are no mirrors in the bathrooms of the Science building. Learn to deal–use the reflection on the paper towel dispenser.

15. Be yourself.

And this is just the beginning……
