Students of Yushinkan Senior High School: Your weirdo awesomeness shatters my pancreas with joy!
We just gave an essay test to the first-years. Students had to write two one-paragraph responses, and could chose from a list of topics.
Prompts included “My Favorite Movie”, “My Favorite Food”, and “What I Did at the School Festival”, among others.
But glorious youth always trumps mediocrity! (Sometimes!)
My favorite essay response, reprinted here in it’s entirety (spelling corrected * , emphasis original author’s own):
Feelin’ good. – IT’S PARADISE!
Brilliant.
But mysterious.
And so I turn to you, my virtual friends: What the hell question was this the brilliant answer to?
Bonus Mystery Factor: He answered a second essay question quite well, ruling out lack of English or total test-apathy as motivating factors for this stunning creation.
The answer is out there. In the form of a question, please.
*Original author’s spelling: “Fellin’ good – IT’S PARADICE!”
