It can’t be that hard for 218 Senior Girls to reach one decision, right? Right?

Wrong.

My Facebook notifications went through the roof. My homework went out the window. It was all anyone could talk about. All senior girls seemed to be consumed by one thing—Controversy.

This heated debate started the week before spirit week, and got so intense that most of the senior class has dubbed it “WWXIV”. The twin day themes bounced from “Where’s Waldo” all the way to “Toddlers and Tiaras.” Soon, insults were being hurled at one another faster than girls could even text each other about it, causing absolute mayhem.

“It’s like something out of Mean Girls”, stated Meredith Hood ‘14. Although no Facebook accounts have been hacked, and no cliché scenes from Mean Girls have repeated themselves in the SHS hallways, I can tell you with certainty that Hood would not have been very surprised if they had. With girls this serious about spirit week, anything could happen.

With each new poll created, the tension rose, the posts got a little more passive aggressive, and I personally could not tear my eyes away from this quality drama.

I think if we senior girls take away anything from this weeklong saga, it’s that we need a leader to help the decision-making burden. By no means do 218 girls sharing their opinions mean that a consensus has been made. This process would have been over and done with in a fraction of the time if someone came forward and picked one of the various ideas that dominated my news feed.

But hey, where’s the fun in that?
