Each year we come to school and receive many new things. Some are paid for and others are simply given to us. Students are given books, notes, and some are given strange looks. But one thing we are all given is a locker.

With this space of nothing by nothing, we are expected to put books and notebooks for eight classes, pens, coats, purses, gymbags, and lunches. Some students may choose to put up a few pictures to keep the resemblance of sanity. You also have to remember there is one person on each side of you going through the exact same squeezing you are. Breathing room is even scarce some days.

There are people who can keep their lockers organized throughout the school year; yet, there are some who are so messy, they can't tell their lunch from their math assignment.

Then there are some days when you seem to be missing five assignments that had previously been in your book. The next day, they all magically appear where you placed them. This scares many students into believing in the "Locker Goblin." He has bad breath and picks his victims at random. So be careful! The next time you see a hopelessly repulsive locker.
