Recently, Phoebe and I were discussing the best out-of-context questions to ask someone to truly probe their sense of humour. So, we compiled a form to send out to the entire senior school student body, containing twelve questions and requesting just one thing – to give us “the most original, funny and strange replies”.
The bell rings (or at least metaphorically, because we don’t actually have a bell anymore). Your teacher doesn’t understand that even one minute of lateness has the potential to disrupt the entirety of your break-time canteen routine. You are released. Without realising, your stride gradually changes from a walk to a run. The power of the canteen now has a grip on you. Past the self-providing snack students you go, whist tripping up staff along the way and not holding the door for anyone. Crucially, you avoid eye contact that might spark conversation – keep your head down. Food is the priority, forget manners. In fact, just leave your moral compass in the pit, there are sausage rolls and steak here.
As Easter fast approaches, it can only mean one thing for Year 11s and 13s: Revision. And the beady eyed among you may be inclined to take up revision spotting for all types of reluctant revisers. So, scan your eyes over this easy guidebook on how to revision spot this Easter.
When you’re younger (and I mean that in the most non-patronising way possible), the general attitude towards school lunch is not an enthusiastic one. But oh, how times have changed. I, for one, now glide through the canteen, having meticulously planned the perfect route which allows me to advance past the novices.
Seeing the title of today’s article, you may have thought to yourself “Sasha, this is sooo 2020” and I would have to agree with you, except, being the overachiever that I am, I just had to catch Covid during the time when all restrictions have been lifted. In fact, I didn’t even catch it myself – my parents gave it to me, to which I say: advocating the “sharing is caring” ideology is NOT a smart move in all situations.
