Ridgeline High School

I mean, It functions. There's some nice folks there. Follow my instagram @Megaskizzen

Normally, people sit across the empty lot and watch the school kids through a monocular. But here, the kids sit across the empty lot and watch me. Pretty awesome. Also the staff appear like nice/good people might appear

This place is cool it's just that I lost a large key while I was there and nobody helped me find it. Its either gold or bronze, and starts with a lot of jagged edges goes flat for about 1/4 inch and has 3 flat spikes on the inner part. If you see it tell me. Meet me in the parking lot. I have a box of tictacs in my car so I will pay you in full.

There is one thing that will never leave you. One thing that will always be there for you. One thing, that even though it may, on occasion, be a little smelly and gross, will always be something that you can count on. And that one thing is: a bathroom. A bathroom is there for you to enjoy. Somewhere that you can get some peace and quiet, some alone time (insert winky face). Because of the massive importance of a bathroom, they must be held up to a certain standard. Today, we’ll see how our very own Ridgeline High School’s bathrooms hold up against this standard. There is a total amount of five public restrooms at Ridgeline High School. Six if you count the gender neutral one. In general, the bathrooms here at Ridgeline High School are tended to very well. Hardly ever does one have to stop themself from doing their business due to the uncleanliness of the bathroom. The floors are kept clean and the toilets themselves are always shining as the sun itself was bathing the toilet in its sun rays. The bathrooms are always kept stocked with all the toilet paper one could need. In the men’s restrooms, the urinals always have a fresh cake in them, helping to combat the stench that may arise on occasion. The mirrors are always clear as day and you are able to see and groom yourself as you please. The hand soap is almost always stocked and ready to go when you need it. However, while there is all these great things about these bathrooms, there is one grievance that one can have. That grievance is, the lack of paper towels. After you are done with washing your hands after your business has been taken care of, you only have one option of drying your hands. That option is a fancy hand dryer. Some would say that this is the better alternative to paper towels. That by using hand dryers, you are helping to save paper and by saving paper, you are saving trees. While saving trees is important, by the time the paper towels would have made it to the area of storage that it was headed, many new tree seedlings would have been planted. And these hand dryer machines are lackluster at best. At first it was a cool idea. Having to barely use any effort and your hands are dry in a couple of seconds sounds amazing. Unfortunately, these hand dryers do not do this. One must almost scrape their hands against the edges of the blowers of the hand dryer to get the majority of the water and moisture off. But, there is still a shocking amount of wetness left over. After you are done with your business in the restroom, and you have tried drying your hands, you might go out and shake a friend's hand. A friend, who will be disgusted at the amount of wetness that is now on their hand. They may even question if you did wash your hands and that the wetness on your hands wasn’t even water, that it was something else. This whole situation could be avoided if one were just able to use two or three paper towels and thoroughly dry their hands. The bathrooms at Ridgeline High School are one of the best around. They meet up quite nicely with the standard of bathrooms. Unfortunately, due to the hand drying problem, I have to rate them ⅘. Still a nice score though, but there is room for improvement.

This review will be about Mr. Stockett’s English 11 Writing class. Be warned-strange music will be playing throughout the trimester. If you enjoy writing, you will most likely enjoy this class; however, if you hate writing prepare for anxiety and a rough 3 months. You will feel strangely warm in this class. I mean it's a weird warm caress of heat on your skin. The classroom also has a variety of smells that you can’t place. I am pretty sure no one gets the same smell out the place. If you had a tough tri and want to forget about him, you will have to avoid the entire English hallway, because you can hear his laugh echoing down the hallway. You should also be warned that he is a tough grader, but he more than prepares you for the assignment if you pay attention. I had low self-esteem to begin this class, and at the end I had even lower self-esteem. So be forewarned if you have low self-esteem don’t take this class. You also shouldn’t be overly sensitive because his jokes can seem a bit crude if you aren’t used to them, but as the trimester goes on you get used to it and realize he does have a unique sense of humor. This class, like it says in the title of this class, is all about writing; if you don’t enjoy writing don’t take this class. If you don’t like him to begin with, give him a few days and just maybe you will begin to like him, but it's a big maybe. This class has taught me a lot about writing, and I feel like everyone can learn a thing or two from Stockett. He is a very intellectual guy when it comes to writing, and I enjoyed his class deeply and will miss it. Engl219.C.L.
