The hallway during the passing period is usually chaos; however, Central students have made the passing period a nightmare full of constant annoyances.
Walk faster. You’re walking slower than a turtle stuck in the mud. Some ways to walk faster are to put your right foot in front of the left and repeat until you’re at your class. Some other ways are to look up from your phone and pay attention to what’s in front of you. There is a whole world of lockers and interesting people. Plus, you might get to class on time.
Speaking of walking, please walk the correct way, which includes not going down the upstairs and up the downstairs. It is December now; you no longer have an excuse. It’s not that hard to remember, there are signs next to every staircase. Just look to the right when you’re going up if you see a wall you’re on the right staircase. If you see the next staircase then turn around and walk back to the floor you were just on and walk to the correct staircase. Then apply the same strategy I gave you before. Because it’s so hard to get past you especially when you don’t care about the other people on the stairs while on your phone.
To people who are conversing with the people in the hall whilst also taking up the whole hall: Guys, you have phones. Use them or at least walk while talking. This goes double for the courtyard. Stop forming a clump in the middle. I am just trying to get through and I have to push and squeeze past just to get to the vending machine, then to my class. I promise your friends will still be there after school.
Public displays of Affection more commonly known as PDA needs to stop. It is not just a quick kiss, this is school. Look, congratulations, you have a significant other you don’t need to show off, because no one cares. But you’re taking up the hallway and grossing everyone out with your tongue. It is a school hallway, there is nothing romantic about it. Also, to the PDA’ers who are going to say, “I can’t hold hands with my partner then,” shush, that’s not what I said. If you are walking to class and holding hands, that’s fine, but if you are making out by the lockers, just know everyone is silently judging you and wants to throw up into the nearest trashcan.
Also, quick notes on the bathrooms: It’s a bathroom. Stop eating, vaping or just chilling in there. It sucks, especially because it makes it 10 times harder to go to the bathroom, so please find somewhere else.
That’s all. I expect everyone who reads this to keep in mind in the halls, because please, it sucks trying to go not even 200 feet without squeezing past the slowest people in the world or vomiting into a trashcan because I saw another couple making out sloppy style in the hall.
Sincerely, a concerned hallway user
