100-word rant: I like the doors closed in classrooms October 3, 2023 — by Parav Manney One of the key purposes of a room is to keep the humans in it insulated from the outside elements. If, however, someone decided to blow a hole in the wall of a room you’re occupying, admitting cold drafts and outside ambience, much of this purpose would become diminished. As such, I’ve never understood why, […] read more » 100-word rant: What do people see in MacBooks anyway? September 29, 2023 — by Alec Guan There’s an infestation of Mac users. While there are other quality laptops on the market (ahem, Windows), somehow people choose the most expensive and least efficient option. MacBooks can cost upwards of $2,000, which is insane when you consider that a $2,600 Macbook Pro performs worse than a Windows laptop half its price in terms […] read more » 100-word rant: Teachers, please stop with the introduction games September 11, 2023 — by Skyler Mao Introduction games are utterly useless. Every teacher seems to have the irresistible urge for icebreaker activities on the first day of school: whether that be sharing a “fun fact,” or even worse, having students play a game like two truths and a lie.

To combat disagreements between students who like the feeling of their face melting off and those who like to be smacked in the face full-force by tundra winds, the […] read more » 100-word rant: Dear crows, please stop stealing my lunch August 31, 2023 — by Daniel Wu As a picky eater with food allergies, most school lunch options are simply off limits to me. Instead, my mother usually leaves my sack lunch at school by placing it with the many other lunches on an unassuming beige table near the school entrance. On one occasion, as I approached the table during lunch, I […] read more » 100-word rant: Restrooms should provide paper towels, not just dryers May 17, 2023 — by Parav Manney After I finish washing my hands in one of the restrooms at school, I just want a simple and quick way to dry them off. What I get instead is a motion-activated dryer that takes its precious time to charge up, only to then exert a narrow blast of hot air that unevenly (and slowly) […] read more »
