“Women who drink more study better”
I think this is a ridiculous article. It sounds like a thirteen year old boy wrote it. I don’t agree with this at all.

Satire: Do we really know how to manage our time?
Have you ever wondered where the time goes in one day? Suddenly looking at the clock every five minutes in school, turns to racing home to finish homework, or going to an after school activity. Most of the time and energy spent on work, sports, or clubs interferes with schoolwork. Sometimes we feel like our teachers aren’t being sympathetic to our schedules and we fall behind. Most teens feel that most of the problem they have in school is time management.
Most students have a set routine for things they are used to doing. Getting up from a late night, going to school, staying after for extracurricular activities, then racing to a part-time job, going home to do homework, and going to bed late. Some students feel they have too much on their plate and they can sometimes get away with doing assignments at a later date. Most of the seniors and juniors in high school have bonded with most of their teachers and can persuade them to give them a little bit more time to complete the work. This is very helpful now, but, what is to happen when we are in college and we have to balance a lot more like harder classes and a more demanding job to keep up with the payments for jobs?
The underlying problem is time management. While getting on time to work and doing well at an after-school practice is important, school is going to get us through life. Yes, life has a habit of giving us little favors and breaks that we kindly take, but life also gives us many rough choices that we need to be prepared to face. I don’t think a twenty-minute lecture on how sorry we are going to be if we don’t get assignments in is necessary. I think we know that now more than ever that the end of the easy road is approaching. We are going to have harder classes and more things to accomplish in very little time.
I feel like this is a top problem for students in school. They might have too much going on to focus on what’s really important, and sometimes teachers getting on our case just further irritates us. Life is full of lessons and time management is one of those lessons that we must teach ourselves.

Your satire sounds very good. Time management is a huge problem with teenagers today. The only part that i don’t understand is when you say” …a more demanding job to keep up with the payments for jobs.” What are payments for other jobs? Over all good job!

Satire: I heart the underclassman.
I love how underclassman know everything there is to know about everything. How it doesn’t matter that you are older and should get more privileges, they feel that they should get the same treatment. My favorite thing about underclassman is the respect they give the seniors. They are so selfless!! I think they should be allowed to stand in my way in the hall or make a comment about the skimpy shirt I am wearing and expect me not to want to punch them in the face. I think any rule should be changed for them, only if they get upset and have their parents call in and complain.
The underclassman’s opinions are very important to me. They, in turn, are experts on everything there is to know. For example, in my music theory class, the topic of debate has been my lack of expertise on choosing the right boy I should pursue. I walk in, being one of the two seniors in my class, to my immediate hell. As the teacher is making copies in the office I quietly brace myself for the argument. One of the boys, who obviously hasn’t had a seriously relationship his entire life, nor ever will, tells me that he wishes he were a complete total jerk because he would have a chance to date me. He goes on to go through my entire life of guys that I merely said hi to, and continues to bash their brains out. Then, the entire class decides to comment on my “lack of love life” and it turns into Jerry Springer. Keep in mind that the only time I talk to this boy, or anyone in my class, is in that class. Underclassmen know everything!!! I’m so glad we have them!!
My care for the underclassman grows more and more every day. I love how they can slide into my parking spot when I am running a few minutes late. If I’m not there the exact time everyday, then privileges get taken away, right? First come, first serve all the way!! It makes my day to see the young lovers “making love” in the hallway. When I fiercely reply, “Excuse me, can I get into my class?” they should look at me like it’s a hotel room and I’m the towel lady interrupting them! When I’m having a quiet conversation with my friend on how cold it is outside, it’s nice to have a junior girl who wears flannel shirts everyday, tell me that if I pulled my shirt down, I wouldn’t be so cold. When I walk pass a group of junior boys’ table to deliver office passes, it nice to have such poetic words said to me about my body parts, when I don’t even talk to them. What would I do without the help from my dear little friends?
I would die if we didn’t have the help from the underclassman. I need to comments everyday and the flagrant disregard for personal boundaries. I realized that I am way to mean to them and my behavior needs to change. When I was younger, what was I thinking getting out of the way when someone older needed to get through? I should embrace “monkey love” because it’s all over the television; why not experience it in a learning environment? IM CRYING RIGHT NOW OF THE THOUGHT OF LEAVING MY WONDERFUL UNDERCLASSMAN!

Satire: I Love the Underclassman
If you asked seniors what they thought about the underclassman, I’m sure their response would be the same as mine. We absolutely love the underclassman. My favorite thing is the respect they give to the older kids, their constant complaining, and their need to express exactly how they feel, even if it hurts my feelings. I wish I had acted the way they do, when I was an underclassman.
Respect isn’t a hard thing to expect out of someone that is younger than you. It’s obviously a little more challenging for the kids in this day and age. If I counted the many times I got pushed out of the way, just so a couple of young lovers can have a few more seconds together, I would be in the millions. I enjoy having a conversation with my friend and some girl interrupts to tell me that if I pulled my shirt down, I wouldn’t be so cold. I’m glad we have professional experts on what not to wear, and I’m also glad that a younger girl can have the nerve to say that in front of an older girl.
One of the classes I am taking is music theory. It is a new class with many underclassmen. I knew from the first day that we discussed our favorite types of music that I would probably be bashed in the ground. The underclassmen proceeded to tell me that I know nothing about good music and I should focus on other things. After that battle is taken care of, all of the guys I’ve dated are put into conversation, and they tell me how bad of a person I am. Are these experiences getting me ready to have severely annoying children?
I probably speak for the upper class by saying how much we enjoy the underclassmen. These experiences want to make us stay in High school forever.
