Random Rants #4

Random Rants #4, by Madeline Perchiniak

Another week, another Random Rants! School has officially started, and I bet you can guess what I’m going to be writing about; annoying aspects of my school life thus far.  Hopefully my complaints bring some entertainment to your life. 

Beginning with an annoyance that probably effects a few of my fellow peers, seating charts. While I find that in certain times seating charts ARE necessary, I think that teachers should have us be seated with at least one friend. Sure, we should “branch out,” but if we’re doing a project in class and I have to work with someone I don’t get along with thats at my table, it just ruins my whole day. Again, I’m all for working with new people, but at least give us one friend at our table. Please?

Moving right along, lunch. I literally do  not understand why we only have thirty minutes! If we put it in perspective here, let's say that we get to lunch a little bit late because our class was  acting wrong, and then once we get to lunch you have to wait at the microwave, (we’re already ten minutes into lunch) and when we FINALLY get to our table, we find out we don’t have a fork. 15 minutes. At last, opening your lunchbox and you have ten minutes left, but wait! You have to go to the bathroom. Uh oh! You have two minutes left, guess you’re not eating lunch today! Sorry about your luck. Like no! Even ten more minutes would REALLY help with lunch, I swear by the time i sit down they’re already bringing the trashcan around. Lunch should not be stressful, and this timeline makes it very stress inducing. 

In this school themed rant, I have one more topic; lockers. There is nothing that angers me more than the end-of-the-day locker break. Why don’t we just end class ten minutes earlier and have bottom lockers and top lockers go out at different times?! I’m not exaggerating when I say I literally cannot move at this locker break. I have fifteen people surrounding me, and if I open my locker a little bit too much, I could quite possibly hit someone on the head. At this time of the day I have one goal and one goal only; get outside. 

While school has gotten us into the feel of a routine, these things still haunt me everyday. 

Hopefully new Random Rants next week!
