If like me, every Christmas, your family commits to large variety tubs of chocolate over an intense game of Monopoly, you will be very familiar with the chocolates you invariably pick first, and indeed, the chocolates others snatch up before you. You will also be familiar with the unwanted species, who, much like the least favourite child, get reluctantly picked at the end once your mouth has been coated in sugar, and so is not fully appreciated. Call this over-analysing, but (BuzzFeed quiz style) have you ever pondered what your favourite Celebration says about you?

You may not think that the way you handle the incoming email on your school account, presumably because someone has lost a pencil, particularly significant, but I hope you find the below document a comprehensive list on the deep inner psychology that stems from your Outlook.

Having spent much of my half term on a school trip to the US, I have had the privilege of lots of time to people-watch (think subways, long walks, mealtimes, and a whole lot more). Whilst I can of course now recite the beginning of the American Constitution and tell you everything you did (or didn’t) want to know about the Liberty Bell, I have also learnt a lot about the different kinds of people you will encounter on said school trips. So, for your general knowledge, here is a WHS school trip bingo, of sorts, of the kinds of people to look out for (and perhaps avoid, depending on your personality!)

We have now hit a crunch point in the year, which, sadly, there is no turning back from – the point where everyone begins to gradually lose all their worldly possessions, and the desperate pleas start flooding in.
So how, you may ask – nay, beg – can I possibly make people give even a tiny shred of attention to my lost item, when my email has to compete with so many others?
