There has been a noticeable increase in the amount of leaves lying around campus. Surprisingly, a Mount Carmel student has been reportedly spreading leaves throughout the school atmosphere in a wretched attempt to butter up his college applications. This became a big mystery for those who are attentive to their surroundings.
The student, junior Hunter Hawkins, was spotted strangely scattering leaves across campus. Other student witnesses say that Hawkins was extremely motivated to make the campus look as environmentally pleasing as possible. Although leaves from nearby trees were already falling naturally, Hawkins felt the absurd need to make this distribution.
Other students claim that this determination began when Hawkins realized that being a participant in school activities might not be enough to impress college admissions. He decided to take matters into his own hands to make a change. Rather than planting trees or donating to environmental activist organizations, Hawkins thought that the best possible course of action was to relocate leaves around five feet from each other.
“Honestly, I have never seen someone so determined to collect leaves in my lifetime,” senior Nick Gall said. “I thought that Hunter was only cleaning up the leaves at first, but now I can’t take a step without seeing a plethora of leaves.”
Hawkins is an exceptional student at MC. Although there may be some weird tendencies here and there, he is known for his dedication to academics as a whole.
Friends have constantly noticed Hawkins’s constant obsession with finding ways to improve his college application. Students usually spend their free time studying or playing sports, but Hawkins spends his time finding creative ways to make himself look impressive to college officers.
A lot of people noticed the increase in leaves around campus, but not many are fond of this. Questions began to rise about whether this movement actually benefits the environment or just creates more work for the maintenance staff.
“I thought the trees already had the leaves part figured out,” senior Wyatt Knight said.
Hawkins has no plans on reducing his environmental efforts despite the negative attention it has drawn.
