They've already taken away my spring break where I live. I cry.

My school's newspaper conducted an informal poll on this for our last issue. The top responses were "reload the school district website", "put a spoon in the freezer" and "sacrifice a goat." I'm not kidding you. A kid actually said that. I don't want to think how many poor goats were killed to get the snow we're…

Fun story: In history class we were learning about classical art and everybody was sort of all like "Whoa, lots and lots of naked dudes touching!" and generally being teenagers about it, and I leaned over to my friend and asked "On a scale of one to ancient Greece, how gay are you?" She laughed so hard she fell out of…

It's mostly about the erotic fan fiction now. Most teens I know would never dream of picking a romance novel when you can get so much smut on the internet without having to leave your bedroom.

OH MY GOD Bonding is insane but its great. Tbh a lot of Hermione/Minerva weirds me out mostly because Minerva was her teacher and is so much older but I'm a big fan of Minerva/Dumbledore and he was her teacher. I guess I'm a hypocrite but I don't care. I ship it.

I used to give myself nightmares worrying that, in the event of a fire, I wouldn't be able to save my stuffed animals. If I think about it too long now, I still get an overwhelming urge to run up to my bedroom and make sure they're all where they're supposed to be.

That was a pretty damn good video. I often think about what the world would be like if people stopped focusing their energy on other people's clothing. I feel we would at least have flying cars by now.

I have so many cardigans that they don't even fit into my closet space anymore. I literally have to wade through them to get to my bed some days.

As a high schooler, I've been through this with my peers and am now watching everybody actually move into sex and drugs, I think the whole thing started way earlier than it should have. I think it's absolutely normal to want to talk about puberty and sex when you're 12/13 because it's new and weird but there…

Doesn't everyone go through a Maggie Smith phase in high school? I'm in the middle of mine. Of course we're the cool kids. How could we not be?

Every character Maggie Smith has ever been is my role model for everything.

Richard Schiff may be too young for the list at 58, but I would've done him in his West Wing days and I would certainly do him now. His beard!

I hate to say it but Kate's hair is not looking as fabulous as it once did. But she is a new mom, so I'll let it slide. That coat is great, though.

Rolling backpacks really clog up the hallways. It's amazing how much people will slow down when they can't figure out how to avoid letting the wheels trip them.

As a student who occasionally uses online version of textbooks, I find them majorly inconvenient. They tend to be PDFs that are really hard to navigate in (especially in math; finding the problem and then locating the explanation without losing the problem completely takes up a lot of time) and they often don't load…

January 3rd and still in school, and as that tends to be the day everybody returns to school (at least in my area, I know some people go back on the 2nd), all my friends are too tired and too stressed out about the impending semester to remember to decorate my locker. I LOVE locker decorations (if not least because it…

The Lion in Winter was my first Peter O'Toole movie (also my first Katherine Hepburn— her Eleanor continues to inspire me in many ways) when I was 10, I think. Even then, with my limited understanding of good acting, this speech gave me chills. It still does. RIP.

Both me and my sister pooped blue stuff when we were little. Apparently it always happened after we ate blueberries. I think it's actually pretty common among babies and toddlers for their poop to be the color of whatever they eat.

Are you me? This was my life when I was 9. I even managed to get my hands on some real ink (fancy art stores) and real-looking parchment (yay weird tourist shops in Boston!).

Exactly! Winter is already so sad and boring, what with the snow and the sky constantly being that depressing gray color. We need some colored lights to liven things up.
