Back to School: 6 Ways to Recapture that Old Fall Feeling
Sneaking Behind the Tennis Courts
Every school has some designated spot for bad behavior, whether it’s trying to down a forty before Spanish class (seriously, try saying Señor Sarris when drunk, it’s hard!) or smoking a few American Spirits before gym. In my school, the spot was behind the tennis courts, where you had to be careful of running into teachers who were also back there trying to steal a quick nicotine fix.
There’s no real way to re-live this. I mean, we’re adults now! We can do what we want. Except not really. Because we’re not allowed to drink big sodas anymore or smoke in NYC parks. So, if you want to feel like a high school rebel again, grab a Big Gulp and smoke a cigarette while walking through Prospect Park.
And feel grateful that you’re not still in school. Unless you were one of those people who peaked in high school? In which case, sorry. I’m sorry for you. Good luck with everything else.
