Gotta build that classroom library one way or another.
4. We have all been there at least once during Lit Block.

5. Each semester ends with a giant potluck.
The most challenging part of potlucks is remembering who made which dish—I just don't trust some people, if you know what I am saying.
6. Sticky Notes have taken over your life.
A picture is worth a thousand words.

15. It is you're, not your.
We try our best not to correct everyone's grammar, but sometimes we just can't help ourselves. For goodness sake, you have to learn the proper way to use "your" and "you're." If you need an example, please see the picture below.
16. And last but not least. When someone sits in your "unassigned" seat.
It is just a known fact that you better get a good seat on the first day of school, because this is where you will be sitting the rest of the year. No, it's not an assigned seat, but people will become very frustrated with you if you mix things up.
