Have you ever walked in the halls and wanted to scream your head off because someone is walking like a snail in front of you or someone is going up the downstairs? If everyone just walked in a timely fashion, would we have so many students fighting with passion?  

There might not be a specified rule book for the high school hallways. But there are definitely unspoken rules that everyone should follow.   

One rule everyone should follow is to maintain an appropriate walking pace. Don’t stand there like a statue and stop moving as slow as a snail. There are no stop lights in the hallways, so stop walking like there are no people trying to get to class. If you want to walk and talk to your friends, walk faster. Stop the traffic jams; hallways are not the interstate, so keep walking. 

Another unspoken hallway rule is stop the PDA. A little kiss before class is one thing, but the full blown make out sessions are another. We do not live in a high school romance movie, and the walking holding hands not letting anybody through is insane.  

My last and final unspoken rule is to stop eating and vaping in the bathroom during passing periods. The amount of time I see people eating a bag of chips or sharing the same vape — have you ever thought of a thing called sexually transmitted infections, or have you ever thought that people might actually have to pee? 

Those are my unspoken rules of the hallways that I think everyone should follow.
