Rebecca's List: Top ten things to do when your teacher thinks you're taking notes


Posted on 17 June 2010

The opinions presented in this article reflect those of the individual reporter, not of the Rank & File collectively.

 

1. Sporcle: Oh, Sporcle. Who knew trying to think of the seven most common dirty words on this quiz site could be so simultaneously fun and frustrating?

2. Robot Unicorn Attack: Self-explanatory in the most confusing way possible. You are a robot unicorn. Attacking stuff.

3. Tetris: I heard somewhere that the Russians invented Tetris during the Cold War to cut down on American productivity. It worked.

4. Run: Multi-dimensional space jumping. Even easier than it sounds.

5. Omegle: Talking to strangers online is fun when you don?t see stuff that makes you want to claw your eyes out.

6. Just talking to the person next to you: A novel concept, I know. But this age-old activity can make any class go by faster.

7. Hangman/Tic-tac-toe: Hopefully no one needs to have this one explained to them.

8. Papi Jump: A little blue blob bouncing onto higher and higher ledges until you inevitably fail and it falls to its doom. With a smile on its face that whole time.

9. Texting: Yes, teachers frown on this, but heck, none of these activities are productive. Just don?t text during the SOL and everything?s fine.

10. Old-school note passing: Does anyone even do this anymore? It?s fun, I promise.
