 Low-Rise Pants
It’s far less common now to see
people wearing low-rise pants. They
were much more frequently seen
and purchased in past generations

and the earlier 2000’s. Leggings and

yoga pants have become much more
high-waisted as well.
Track Suits
Matching pants and jackets, such
as those for sports teams and those
from Juicy Couture, have become a
lot less popular in recent years. They
are a thing of the past, but can still
be worn without question. So, no
worries if your sports teams decide to
whip them out this season!

Bluetooth Speakers
Bluetooth speakers are not a rong.
However, kids, especially in middle
school, enjoyed playing loud music
while walking down the hallways.
However, it is both disruptive and
frustrating to people around them.
It never was cool, it is not currently
cool, and it never will be cool.
Devious Licks

Beanies were a big trend, especially
last school year, but are now less
commonly seen as an everyday fash-

a need-based basis such as for cold
mornings and winter days.

anymore, and especially not devious
licks.
No Senior Lot
Many seniors are upset by the fact
that parking is first come first serve
this year. Senior Coulson Dunning
is facing the problem first hand,
and he states “I am outraged by the
treatment of seniors this year. It is
completely unacceptable that we do
not have a senior lot. I do park in it
anyways because I am a senior and I
deserve this. It makes me obligerous-
ly sick to see what this administra-
tion is doing to me.”
