Get Out of the Way

Have you ever just had the sudden urge to bulldoze people in the hall as a last resort to getting to class? Have you ever felt that RHS needs to add a hallway traffic report to KVUE so you can find the quickest, most appropriate way to get to class? I feel like we should take it to that level, but if you would just get to class and not block the hallways, everything would be superb.


I hate the fact that I’m walking down the hallway to get to my locker and I see people in the hall either standing, talking about nothing, or swapping spit with each other. Did you miss them so much after one period that you have to hold them and make-out in the middle of the hallway? Sadly, I bet that relationship will only last a week, because your significant other will find another hallway to block with someone else.

A wise person once showed me a great way to navigate the halls. Stick your elbows out like a chicken and just plow through this massive group of people, but honestly, I’d rather not have to resort to looking ludicrous while trying to get to my class.

As far as I can see it’s disappointing to see high school students blocking the hallway because they think it’s absolutely cool. Obviously some of you have not realized that this isn’t middle school anymore, and blocking the halls with your nerd-herds and week long relationships goes out of style once you reach the over-capacitated hallways of high school.

It’s time to learn how not to block the hallways, and just get to class. Whip out a piece of paper and write them a note, “slap-hands” in the hallway, wave, wink, blow kisses, or do anything that doesn’t involve stopping the flow of traffic in the halls. You’ll see them later, or during the weekend, so just move your little bodies out of mine and everyone else’s way.
