Being a student at Columbia high school is hard, most days it's a struggle between keeping up with all   of the work and still staying in the social loop. However, even though most of my days at Columbia high school can be explained by the picture above, it is the quirky humor, unique phrases, inside jokes, the ridicule that is CCN, and the overall hilarious culture of a high school environment that's gets me through my days here.

By far the Biggest inside joke among Columbia High school students is the phrase "meet me at Chyz at 3:01" In our school if there a fight it is a tradition to fight a Chyzowitz field which is right down the street from the school and when these fights happen the school gets so riled up because it only ever happens once in a blue moon. And from this the phrase was born. School gets out at 3:01, and Chyz is right down the street so you better be there at 3:01 on the dot, and it is never acceptable to be late.

Although Columbia can sometimes feel like the worst place in the world, it's own unique lingo, the forged family between security guards and students, the slip ups on CCN that help to brighten up your day, and the overall culture of Columbia High School help to numb the pain of high school and in general. Although, Columbia definitely has its downside the overarching feeling that everyone is part of a family here makes me grateful of all of the school I attend; even with all of its flaws.
