On Study Hall

I found this post just chilling in my list of drafts, so I figured I might as well post it.

It is an institution that most students get to experience. I, however, have not ever and will not ever be placed in a study hall. This leads an to an interesting outside perspective, I believe.

I cant for the life of me understand what it is people spend an entire period every day doing. High school students are not assigned nearly as much work as we make it out to be and have an over abundance of time to do it as long as we are not useless bafoons (some clearly are).

And then, what baffles me further is how some people manage two study halls a day. That is TWO WHOLE PERIODS of doing nothing every day. It is so utterly useless, and I am incapable of understanding whatever impetus drives them to think such is required. Do they really have so little care for academics as to shrug off the chance for at least one additional class?

All that being said... I wish I had a study hall. I like to sleep, and if for nothing else, it seems quite capable of providing an outlet for REM.
