“When school first started, I didn’t think junior year would be as bad as people say, but within the first month I realized that they were right,” junior Molly Joyce said.

The logos quiz game is yet another reason why watching way too much TV (and therefore seeing way too many commercials) can be beneficial.

The result is a very awkward few seconds while you desperately shuffle some more to find a better song.
