The school hallways. We all walk in ‘em every day we’re here.
What concerns me is the amount of people I see running in them. I mean, honestly, I don’t think there’s a better form of social suicide. If you have the room to run, congratulations, but never, ever do it. Let me just set the scene: you, whoever you are, has a 20-40 pound backpack on and you’re trying to move all that, and your body weight to get somewhere that probably isn’t that important. You will be judged.
Maybe you already have to jog hills or laps around a track for a school sport after school, so save your energy sweetie. Stay swag-tastic and always look like nothing is wrong, even if you’re going to be late for class. Losing your “cool guy” or “cool girl” image is a shame, really. What would Justin Bieber do? He’d saunter like he owned the place. Whenever you feel like you’re going to panic, think, “What would Justin Bieber do?” and it will fail you every time except in this situation.
Worst case scenario ever is if you decide to flail your limbs when it’s just you and one other human. Especially if you’re small and you have bad running form in general, but then you add a backpack. I mean, thank you for giving me my laugh of the day, but today is advice column day here on Sarah Says and she says to never surpass the fast walk pace. Just don’t do it.
