• the Pacer
• teachers saying “this isn’t middle school anymore”
• broken air conditioning 
• classrooms that either feel like the arctic tundra or the pits of hell
• “wikipedia isn’t a reliable source”
• a shit ton of standardized tests
• “if someone dies during the final, everyone gets an A, so who’s gonna take one for the team?”
• “if the teacher is fifteen minutes late we can leave.”
• jeopardy
• quizlet
• the cha-cha slide
• “mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell”

• kahoot
• substitute teachers that are either loved immensely or are so old their phone numbers were one number
• “this is a college-level essay/class/quiz/test/assignment”
• MLA format
• school version of memes
• art classroom floors that are always wet
• “Good morning.” silence “…GOOD MORNING.” every voice replies ‘good morning’ in the same monotonous voice at the same time
• “let’s start by introducing ourselves by saying your name and one thing that makes you interesting”
• “are you the sub?”
• morning announcements
• screaming outside the classroom
• “please stand for the pledge”
