MSJMCW Story

Story. Partner - Jason Yu

'Twas the night before Mission San Jose High School's multicultural week (thus the acronym MSJMCW). All the young freshmen noobies who knew nothing about multicultural week eagerly logged onto their computers to order meal tickets, salivating at the thought of mindlessly consuming the most random confections that came to their minds. Throughout the week of spring break before multicultural week, upperclassmen club members and council members had been posting the same semi-stimulating pictures of food with the same exact formats and and overused flyer layouts that have been repeatedly used for years, but the trick nevertheless still works on the noobies we call freshmen. The organizers of multicultural week grin their evil grins as they think about the hundreds of freshmen that will rush to purchase their far overpriced and overrated food products. Their grin becomes an evil sneer as they think about the hundreds of freshmen who will run out of time to refund their unused meal tickets at the end of lunch. They clap for the genius that came up with the idea of meal tickets. Then they go to sleep that night with smiles, knowing that it is going to be a good week.

On the other hand, the freshmeat..ahem freshmen, cannot sleep at night, hyperactive at the thought of a week of overindulgence and whimsical money spending. That morning, 98% percent of freshmen forget to eat breakfast, do their homework, and study for that upcoming geometry test. Snapchat stories are reaching the 30-minute mark as the kids just cannot contain their explosive excitement. Only hours later, the freshmen are lined up at their 4th period classrooms with only minutes before the bell marking the start of lunch.... The bell rings, freshmen charge like animals toward the horseshoe parking lot. Many are trampled as they stampede across campus. Fights break out. Teachers run for cover. The faculty and upperclassmen look at disgust at these mindless neanderthals, but the booth-organizers begin to smirk because now they know: it is going to be a good week.
