SOS: stereotypes of Samo

Hawene Alomayehu, Staff Writer

Dear students, 

In short, this is a wake up call to all those who call themselves “Santa Monica High School students.” I hope this message brings you revelation rather than contempt towards the rest of us.

Poor Rich Kids

     You are simply annoying prestigious kids, who do not understand the rit and grit of the real world. As you waltz down the hallways of the multi-million dollar Discovering Building, and lounge in your modern cafeterias, remember this isn’t the real world. To be honest, I am addressing this as a concerned citizen. As an entrepreneur of the arts and all things concerning Samo, I would like to say money doesn’t buy everything.

New Language Unlocked 

        What is this word “slay”? After coming to the basketball game, it seems as if every conversation I had with someone ended with, “slayyy” or “that is so slayy.” Have you guys created a new dialect that the rest of us all seem unaware of? It is a New Year Samo, which means a fresh start. Let go of our embarrassing selves, and let it be replaced with happiness and logic.

Time is not on your side 

As someone from the outside, I almost feel sympathy for you! It is absolutely sickening to hear about your school’s bell schedule. It is another reason why I feel blessed to not attend your horrid institution. School ending at 3:31 p.m. not only is cruel and unusual punishment but ruins the traditional childhood memories of the 3 o’clock bell. However, you freaks definitely deserve this.

Doing it all for Love 

In an attempt to recreate your Euphoria High School dreams you guys have taken upon yourself to become druggies. How rich white kids obtain drugs, I don’t know, yet you guys have. And if there is anything we’ve taken from Euphoria, it’s that Rue is our least favorite character.

Happy Black History Month 

As a member of the Black community, I give my sincerest to the EIGHT percent of Black students in Samo. We all are standing behind as you fight the good fight! BLACK LIVES MATTER!

From, literally every single school in Los Angeles County
