A guide to coping with the summer heat

By Annabelle Ward (Y8)

Have you been the friend who’s been complaining about the cold all winter long and wishing summer would just hit right there and then? Well… same. Summer and spring are literally the best seasons. Although the hot chocolate and Halloween costumes were nice, swimming in the lake with your friends on a warm summer day is just peak life. Key word warm,
recently its been more than just warm, its been straight up boiling.. I don’t know about you but I love getting my tan in, but I can’t do that in the middle of tech! For some reason the UV is hitting 8 or 9 when in class but the second the weekend hits, it gives you an interesting flashback to mid january. WHAT THE HECK?!

I think we are all jealous of those students whose teachers let them play outside during double periods and if you are one of those students well, lucky you…..

Here are some things that can help you cope with the heat

The “Accidental” Spill

Spill freezing water on your shirt and act shocked while secretly enjoying the relief.

The Ice Pack Pillow

Convince the school nurse you have a mysterious, non-contagious ailment just to get
a cold compress for your forehead.

The Frozen Textbook

Freeze your thickest textbook overnight and rest your arms on it during class.

The Floor Migration

Accidentally drop your pencil every five minutes just to lie flat on the slightly cooler
linoleum floor.

The Fan Monopoly

Position your desk directly in the path of the one oscillating classroom fan and refuse
to move an inch. Or just keep moving you desk closer and closer when no one is
looking.

Tech Takeover

Okay this one is kind of just to well… skip a little bit of tech
Convince the teacher that the projector is “overheating” and needs to be shut off for
the rest of the period. This is gold.


Anyway its almost summer break so at least you don’t have to suffer the 30° when your listening to algebraic expressions.
