It’s as if the whole school traveled in a time machine back to the 2012 days. Many of us feel as if we are back in middle school again. Why, you may ask? Oh, I don’t know, maybe because we have to sign out to use the bathroom. Is the school that concerned about when our bladder fills and it’s our time to go? Urination should be done on our own watches, not on the school’s, too. Let me pee in peace, please!

Doesn’t everyone want to hit the snooze button at least three times every morning? Each week it seems as if people are showing up to school earlier and earlier. Lately, if you want a prime pull-through parking spot, you must shun the snooze and hit the gas earlier to ensure at least a 7:05 am arrival.

Why is it an automatic assumption by teachers that every student in NASH takes a study hall? Shouldn’t they be willing to find time to help a student? When those who do not have the luxury of a study hall talk to a teacher, most become seemingly frustrated as if they do not want to help a student further their understanding. It is not students’ faults that they scheduled an elective or an extra science class instead of a study hall. So please, teachers, be understanding of those who do not have a study hall.

Who runs the world? The female half! Congratulations to the North Allegheny Girls’ Varsity Basketball team as they stand undefeated.

So, free up some time in your schedule and go watch some killer basketball players, to watch the Lady Tigers compete in pursuit of an undefeated season!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! The recent cancellation and delays were just what everyone needed in their schedule. There is nothing better than sleeping in and having a shortened schedule — or better yet, sleeping in and staying in your pajamas all day. The luxury is nothing short of amazing, and there is no room to complain. So, Dr. Scherrer, please do us a favor and call some more!

A favorite tradition of all NASH students, dodgeball is on its way! Keep your eye out for the upcoming promotion video, and be prepared to bring your best dodgeball skills to the court to do what you can for Project Water.
