FOODAnd why It Reminds me of Senior Year

Part ONE: MY FLAWLESS DEBATE TEAM

AppROX. 50% of prepping for competition consisted of food…1. saturday bagels2. monday subway sandwiches3. tuesday chinese take out4. wednesday pizza5. thursday donuts6. friday middle easternwith snacks in between

Our close bonds with each other were the result of a shared passion for good food.

Our teachers motivated us to win by playing to our sweet tooth

AND, in order to raise money to go to the capitol to compete in nationals we created a fund raiser where we sold food to teachers.

IT was a happy coincidence that it fell on one of our schools more memorable events which i will never have the pleasure of forgetting.Our own infamous Harlem Shake attempt

PART TWO: CALCULUS

equation: Leave school + buy chinese food + leisurely walk * five blocks + sneak into school unnoticed + walk into calculus ten minutes late = an extended gaze of disappointment from your calculus professor

PART THREE: COLLEGE COUNSELOR

Because college applications were stressful for the seniors and because handling 500 students was stressful, my college counselor kept four cabinets in her (quite large) desk dedicated to snacks.She also kept jolly ranchers in a container on her desk which I constantly grabbed handfuls from.

PART FOUR: YEARBOOK COMMITTEE

most of the time was spent either feeding our committee teacher- who made jokes about his peruvian wife and had an unhealthy obsession with shakira- or fruitlessly trying to work with our yearbook representative- who brought over stale Trader Joe’s gingerbread cookies to make up for his lack of effort.
