5 Ways to NOT Annoy the Seniors

Oh, come on, feelthesun012—stealing senior guys is the best part of being a freshman! —Sparkitors

As fall semester of my senior year draws near, I feel obligated to advise the younger generation on how to avoid annoying us seniors.

Note: take the following very seriously, and heed immediately.

1. Flush: Please, for my granny's hamster’s sake, do not forget to flush. Ew. Just… no. It doesn’t matter how late you are about to be to class. Please, please flush. I beg of you.

2. Don't curse: Standing in the hallway and calling each other As, Bs, Cs, and MFs is not cool. I understand that once upon a time in middle school it was, but not anymore. Burping the whole alphabet is still somewhat okay, but proving to others that you can cuss every letter of the English language? Sorry. It’s not classy; it’s immature.

3. Take a shower: Yeah, yeah, I know: seniors show up to school in sweatpants and tangled hair. But we're usually mostly clean. Showing up to school with greasy hair and stained, smelly gym clothes that haven’t been washed in a month was okay when you were in third grade, but by high school, you should know how to shower and do laundry. Just saying.

4. Don't steal our shine: You know how we seniors think we’re the best thing that’s ever happened? That’s because we are. For this year, at least. We’ve gone through four years of high school, love, and drama—and an endless college application process. We’ve taken and retaken our SATs and ACTs. We’ve cried over our AP classes. We were jealous of last year’s seniors’ awesome graduation. We’ve waited for this moment since we were in eighth grade. Now, finally, it’s our turn. So when we get the freshman stealing our ideas for the homecoming decorations and actually winning, we get understandably upset.

5. Don't steal our guys: There’s nothing wrong with being an underclassman in advanced calculus. That’s actually pretty cool, and we seniors tip our hats to you. What’s not okay, though, is flirting with that cute senior guy across the class, especially when he’s the only cute one there. Petty as it seems, when every senior and junior guy is dating a freshman or a sophomore, it’s a bit upsetting. Especially when the only guys left are the freshman and sophomores, who have yet to hit puberty. I stand a foot over most of them, and I’m only 5’4”. Dear freshman girls: lay off the senior men. (P.S. I mean no offense to any freshman/senior pairing that already exists.)

So there you have it: the top five things that annoy the seniors. Don’t worry; you’ll be a senior before you know it. Then you can rule supreme, too!

What do you think of these rules?
