Murphy's Law of Student FAILs

Murphy's Law of Student FAILs

By Lauren Passell

Man alive, doesn’t it seem like sometimes you just can’t catch a break? As Murphy’s Law states, if something can go wrong, it probably will. And when you’re going back to school, sometimes it seems the Curse of Murph applies doubly extra. Here’s the stuff that will probably go wrong this year.

  • You think you’re done with social studies? Not so fast! The classroom clock is 5 minutes fast. Or moving backwards.
  • You didn’t get the teacher you really wanted. Or you didand she just went on maternity leave. (What’s the big deal with babies, anyway?!)
  • There will be a test on that one thing you missed while you were watching the clock move backwards.
  • Notes you wrote during class will look like hieroglyphics at home. (King Tut did so not sign the Declaration of Independence. Or did he?)
  • That tricky math thing that took you 8 hours to master? (Eureka!) Yeah. It’s not on the test.
  • The day you don't have time to pack your lunch will be "Chicken Fryz" day in the cafeteria.
  • The later you are for school, the lower the chance you will be able to find matching socks.
  • Your new timpani will be three inches wider than all the doors in the school. ("You guys just go ahead without me. I'll be playing in the parking lot.")
  • There will be two gym uniforms left: the one that barely fits on your left leg and the one that looks like a muu-muu designed for Mr. Potato Head.
  • The day you bring your solar-powered calculator to class, your teacher insists on turning down the lights to conserve energy. In the words of Henry IV, “You scullion! Your rampallian! You fustilarian! I’ll tickle your catastrophe!
  • After years of successfully faking sick days, you actually get food poisoning the day your class is going to Six Flags. Yeah.

What’d we we forget? What will super definitely go wrong this year?
