Do you find yourself going to first hour on one side of the school and second hour on the other side? Does it take you 7 minutes just to cross the sea of students? Well, guess what, you’re only one of thousands of BHS students with this problem, and most have no idea how to avoid it.

If you’re smart, go upstairs when going across the school. They’re like a tunnel network except aboveground. You don’t have to swim through countless stressed souls to get to English from social studies, just go up through math-land and cross science-world. This is the solution to your problem, as it takes about half the time to travel across the school, but it’s not without its flaws, i.e, other students.

The upstairs level of Blaine is usually pretty empty as most unfortunate fellows go the normal main-level way and get caught up in the wall of students. The only congested parts are the stairs themselves, and wouldn’t be if people weren’t big jerks. Most people know how a road works, two lanes, one going one way, the other the opposite way. That’s how the halls at BHS should be, but somehow you have each stairwell covered by downpouring students that hog the stairs and push everyone going upstairs into the corner. It’s called SPACE people, learn to give everyone their fair share.

This makes going upstairs a hassle, and the only solution to this problem is for more students to travel across the upstairs. Right now there is 30% of stair users going up and 70% going down, we need a proper 50-50 split. If the same amount of people are going up as they’re going down, then it would flow and no one would be late to class (as if getting stuck in the halls is any excuse).

I know I’m not the only one with this problem, and here are a few students with the same opinion:

And if you also identify as a modern teenager, then you should agree with this quote:

So let’s get smart people, go upstairs and help fix the disparity between people going up and down, this is your mission, and you choose to accept it.
