Letter to a Young Contrarian

Alright miniature J-Labbers. There are a few things you need to know before occupying the post of senior editors on the newspaper staff. First and foremost, you shouldn’t care too much about newspaper. If, for some reason, you find yourself sacrificing your time and energy for the sake of newspaper, please take up some sort of hobby. I recommend following The Glasgow Celtic Football Club.

As a senior, you will want to get done with high school as quickly as possible and newspaper is an excellent way of making this happen. Newspaper is an easy class, provided you do what you are told, and is also a fun class. However, if the editor distances him- or herself from the staff, things become very uncomfortable and lame. Always accept input from other members of the staff. The primary reason for stories is that the author is not interested in what he or she has to write. So, editors, make them care.

Finally and most importantly, don’t ever date anyone on staff. Not that you should be dating at all in high school. Keep it in your fucking pants (no pun intended).
