After toiling away on multicolored worksheets for months, River Hill has recently received a large shipment of white paper. This influx of white paper has many students excited, yet some remain apprehensive.
“I’m glad we’re getting more white paper,” sophomore Jeremy Graham shared. “I’m tired of writing on green paper. Green is my least favorite color.” Without any white paper available, students have been forced to write on paper in any manner of colors, blue, yellow, pink, and of course, the infamous green. Complaints have been heard from all throughout the school, with some teachers expressing frustration over the multicolored mess decreasing efficiency in the classrooms.
“I can’t wait for the blank paper to come back!” junior Lily Potts intoned, explaining that her productivity has significantly decreased since the white paper shortage began in late fall. Her grades have dropped due to lack of motivation, and she laments, “What is the point of trying without white paper to support me?” Lily proclaims hope that she will see her grades rise once again now that white paper is more readily available.
However, not everyone is happy about the new shipment of supplies. Junior Benjamin Gray reproves, “I am despondent that we’re getting more white paper! Colorful paper is very functional and makes my paper airplanes look sophisticated.” When asked to elaborate, he enthusiastically enunciated, “I make all my differential equations worksheets into paper airplanes. School is more fun that way, and the colorful paper has better aerodynamic qualities. I particularly like the green ones.”
It seems Benjamin is not the only one in opposition of white paper. Senior Valerie Vianne Stanford heatedly avouched her views on the subject, lambosting, “I think white paper is an affront to society.” She refused to elaborate.
Though most students seem to be picking a side on this pressing topic, a rare few remain neutral:
“I don’t see what everyone is so excited about.” Freshman Juliana Walls said. “It’s just white paper.”
While it remains to be seen whether the influx of white paper will have a positive or negative impact on River Hill, students should be prepared for white paper to flood the hallways.
