Student Life is a bore, a complete bore. I mean, in the morning, ho hum classes and in the afternoon, sleepies - they're all boring. And since Student Life is just classes, lt's a bore. Right? Wrong! Student Life takes in all aspects of a student's life: academics, sports, the prom, summer, homecoming, pep rallies - I could go on and on. And if all those classes are so boring, how come we have so much to talk about? Like distilling alcohol in advanced chemistry, dissecting sharks and frogs in advanced biology, holding a mock election in American government, going on field trips in various classes, cooking and eating goodies in home ec., and discussing everything under the sun in English. I guess I don't need to say much about extracurricular activities or summer. Nobody can call conventions, summer camps, ballgames, bonfires, or banquets boring. So maybe the best way to describe Student Life is to say that it's the things students do together - working together, learning together, and kidding around together.
