Let these lovable items stand as the light against the dark, the yang against the yin, the Harry against the Voldy:
1. The last minute of 7th period.

3. 1st period Photo/Art
4. A close circle of friends.
5. Getting a compliment on your outfit.

7. Teachers who hand out extra credit like candy.
8. Teachers who hand out candy.
