5 Types Of Texts Every High-Schooler Has Sent Or Received During The School Year

Whether it's the night before one big test or just before summer vacation comes to a grueling end, the subject of school becomes a major subject of texting on group chats, DMs or just personally on the phone. It could be the pang of panic when finding of a pop quiz, furious ranting about a teacher or just that one kid who always wants to "check" his or her homework with you. (Because obviously, they want to check a completion homework for accuracy at 11 p.m. at night). And, without a doubt, by the time May rolls around, you become a pro at answering these kinds of messages (it's usually with a read receipt). Texts about the struggles, and texts about the joys, our phones capture the busy, bustling lives of high schoolers perfectly. So for anyone who has graduated high school or is in it right now, sit back as this article walks you through the daily life as a high schooler through technology in 2017.

1. The midnight maniac

Because sometimes late at night, the kid who never does his homework always seems to want a picture of your homework. Or this could possibly be a text from a procrastinator who waits till 9 p.m. to start working. Either way, you make sure to leave them a reply, usually a read receipt.



2. Fire fingers (aka checking answers after a test with your friends)

As soon as you make it back to your desk after turning in the test, you whip out your phone from your bag and furiously start typing. Your fingers start tapping the screen at the speed of light. What could be so important you ask? It's usually the answer comparison ritual with a friend or on a group chat, where all speak of the horrors of the test. What was the answer to #4? A or B?!?! What was the formula again?!?! WHY WAS THE TEST SO CONFUSING?!?!


3. "Wait,we had homework?!?"

The title pretty much explains it. It's always that one day you decide there's no homework when all of sudden before bedtime friend texts you about the assignment. Needless to say, you either A) went to sleep hoping the homework would be magically completed by morning or B) did not, in fact, get eight hours of sleep at night.


4. Teacher rants

During your four years of high school, you're going so have many teachers. Some of which you adore, and others...not so much. Maybe it was your old boring math teacher, or it could've been the rude history teacher who would count the right answers wrong on your tests. Either way, what better way to let out all the emotions, than to just text them? 30 minutes and 10 paragraphs later, you seem to have made your point. Shout out to the friend who listens all the way through, or at least pretends to...


5. The mini celebration over a rescheduled exam

Euphoria is the best way to describe it. Shout out to the teacher who never covers all the material on time. Because thanks to them, I now have an extra time to procrast- uh I mean study.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
