Top 5 ways to skip school (and why they’re disastrous)
Sometimes you just need a day off from school. Whether you need a day to catch up on your schoolwork or just to relax, it’s common and it’s not the worst thing in the world. A day off once or twice a year is fine, a day off once or twice a week is not. [...]
Know how to clean
Just like with laundry, some high school grads haven’t learned about the joy of cleaning. Okay, so most people hate cleaning. I, on the other hand, love it! For me, cleaning is a form of stress relief. During exam time my room was always spotless. The reason being, a clean and organized environment calms me. [...]
Know How to do Laundry
Some people just don’t get how to do laundry. Usually those people don’t know how to do laundry because they’ve had someone to do it for them. It’s actually not that hard! The Process: Start by separating your clothes into lights and darks. Okay, I’ll admit it, I NEVER separate my lights and darks. Every [...]
The Pot and the Kettle: Bullying
I read about a study a while ago which found that people who are cyberbullied are more likely to turn the tables and become cyberbullies. The study noted: “Child psychologist Shane Gallagher of Cambridgeshire Educational Psychology Service in the U.K. surveyed 239 teens (128 boys and 101 girls) aged 11 to 16 and their parents. [...]
Out this weekend: Fast Five
It turns out someone out there still thinks Vin Diesel is cool? I must have missed the memo, but apparently the supersized mini-me/ Mr. Clean wannabe is still considered cool enough to be racing cars, blowing things up and spewing lame lines as if he’s reading them off the back of his hand. Oh wait, [...]
To avoid the government yelling at you during tax time.
If you don’t want the Canadian government to send you hate mail or mock you on the phone when you do your taxes, learn from my personal struggles. When I was little I used to save everything. Broken toys, old clothes and even a pop tart for over a year (hidden in my underwear drawer [...]
Out this weekend: Arthur
I went to an advance screening of Arthur last night and was very surprised with the film. I walked in assuming that Arthur, starring Russell Brand, would be a non-stop barrage of vulgar comedy (much like Get Him to the Greek), and it was funny, but it was much more than just a comedy. Sure, [...]
Out this weekend: Sucker Punch
I went to an advanced screening of Sucker Punch last night. Though the trailer made the film look visually stunning, I had a feeling it would be all flash and no substance. Unfortunately I was correct. Emily Browning plays a girl named ‘Baby Doll’ whose mom dies. What started as a strong storyline as Baby [...]
GSA’s and Religion
I read an article this morning about Gay Straight Alliances and Catholic Schools. It’s not the first time we here at FYIHigh have commented on the issue. This time around, the news isn’t specifically about a school not supporting a GSA; it’s about Ontario’s Premier Dalton McGuinty not enforcing the specific presence of a GSA [...]
Who’s cheating who?
It’s no secret that students share notes. While some teachers see it as a student’s decision to share, others see it as cheating. According to this article, there are websites run by former students that allow you to upload and download your own notes onto a database and make money by selling copies of them [...]
