ROHS Proposed Rule Change (Existentialism)

I propose an ROHS rule that will let upperclassmen be able to leave for lunch every year, and to have the dress code be more lenient than it is at the moment. Despite the attempt of the creation of students becoming more pour soi I would rather attempt to make this rule keep us being en soi. The principals want to have their own rules for us, but what about how we think? I understand that there’s going to be some obvious rules that the school board will want us to follow, but these two rules used to be more in favor of the students. We should all be able to do what we want, and that includes upperclassmen being able to go out for lunch and have a better dress code. The lunchrooms are going to be way more crowded if the principals don’t allow upperclassmen to leave for lunch. Rumors are said that they’ll have another room to eat, but wouldn’t it just be way easier to just let us leave for lunch? I really don’t get it. We should be able to leave anyway. And about the dress code, people will still be breaking it when the weather gets warmer. Even with these new rules, people will still wear shorts that are too short, or tank tops, or hats, or whatever. What’s the point of having this rule if people will still break it? We the students, are still going to continue to do what we think is right for us. Of course we would follow the biggest rules, but we should be able to have more freedoms with where we go to eat, or what we wear. It’s what we want to do, and it’s what we should do.

On Cookie Dough

My mother never let me have cookie dough when I was a child. She was afraid that I would get sick from too much of that sweetness. As a child I would get sick a lot from different things, but seriously, I really wanted to try some cookie dough. I always heard stories about about how delectable it was, however I was stuck with the baked form of the food. Which isn’t bad obviously, but I really wanted the cookie form of it too. I haven’t been even close to forgetting that desire, and to this day, I haven’t been able to taste the sweet embracing treat that is cookie dough.

I felt like I was being tortured, always hearing about this sweet, sugary goodness that my mean mother would never let me have. When I was younger, I used to help my mom make cookies a lot, and it would get pretty frustrating, because I couldn't even get a lick of that scrumptious cookie dough. I would dream about eating it, even just getting the slightest taste of it. But any chance I thought I could get would be taken away from me. Now that I’m older, I’m able to go to the store and buy a big tub of cookie dough, but I’d have to sneak it in by my mother, who still believes that I will get sick from it.

If there’s a lesson in this, it’s that my mom has ruined my childhood. Although I did have fun memories in my childhood, such as going to disney world and having a bunch of toys, this prevention of cookie dough consumption from my mother absolutely ruins it. Every kid deserves something sweet in order not to be narcissistic about the world. When I have children, they will not be shut out from the world and will be given choices. The only thing that makes people human is from choice. They can make their own choices in where they want to go to college, or what they want to work as in the future, who they want to marry and when, and so on. Rules will obviously be placed, but in the end, my child will be free.
