Best of Week: Keeping it Chill

It's 4th quarter and all of the senior minds are just done with school. It the end of April, all we have to go through AP tests, and we're pretty much done!! But until then...we're not. We still have tests to study for, projects to work on, and daily homework to dreadfully deal with. We're almost there though, almost...

However, one critical concept that I observed during Humanities this week is to be chill. Mr. Allen understands us senioritis-diseased seniors and that we're all humans. So in order to get through school, all we have to do is be chill. If we get everything that needs to be done during class, we don't have to worry about it for homework. This is Mr. Allen's 4th quarter rule and I believe this rule should be applied to the rest of the classes containing seniors.

Even if a class doesn't follow this "regulation", I am still able to apply it to them. I can get a lot of homework done during class so I don't have to worry about when I see kids freely playing outside after school and I'm just locked in my room doing something not that fun. It is almost the end, and we can all get through this together. Yes we cannot wait to get out of high school forever, but we have to realize that we're NOT quite there yet.

But thanks to Mr. Allen, we can just look at this from an easier standpoint, and be chill.

  1. I totally agree with Agnes. I'm one of those seniors that is tryng hard to fight against senioritis, but if teachers understood 4th quarter minds better and somewhat adapted to our inability to function it would turn out better for everyone.
