Meade Senior High School Puns

Link to story I live very close to Meade High (Ft. Meade MD) and while I attend a private school I'm friends with many that go there both gay and straight. They are also protesting because these are the children of military families. Can we do something about this?

A couple weeks after donating blood, I got something in the mail from the Blood donation place saying that I not only have O-negative blood, but I also have cmv negative blood. I had no idea what that meant but it turns out that people with O-negative/CMV negative blood can donate blood to anyone (O-neg) but also cmv negative blood can be used in babies. Babies that have health conditions, or those involved in traumas can only get cmv negative blood. And apparently only about 3% of the population has this blood type. I intend to start donating regularly. But I also feel really bad because in the past I would self harm and I can’t help but think about all the blood I lost and wasted. Maybe that’s silly but it’s how I feel. Anyways, I thought it was cool and that maybe I will end up being important in some little way to someone by donating the blood that could save a life.

Melanie Suzanne Cooley left Nederland High School, where she was a senior, on April 15, 1975. She was last seen hitchhiking in Nederland, wearing jeans, a denim jacket and tan-colored boots.

A road maintenance worker found Melanie's body on May 2, 1975 in Coal Creek Canyon. She had been hit over the head repeatedly with a large rock, her face was badly beaten, and she’d been strangled. Her hands were tied in front with a yellow nylon cord - apparently “many, many feet of it, wrapped around and around."

Melanie lived with her family in the foothills halfway between Nederland and Boulder, on Magnolia Road. She was reportedly a good student; classmates and teachers alike either loved her or had a tough time getting along with her, as Suzi would speak her mind and didn’t always follow the rules, which got her in trouble at times.

Melanie took photographs for the high school yearbook, kept score for the basketball team, and worked at Eldora Ski Resort as a valet driver. She also did macrame, painted, made jewelry, wrote poetry, played guitar and sang. She embroidered a large eagle on the back of her denim jacket (the one she was wearing when last seen).

After school Melanie often hitchhiked home with neighbors who lived along Magnolia Road, as she apparently didn’t like riding the bus. Friends saw Melanie with her thumb out near the school the day of her disappearance.

She never made it home.

While gas receipts place notorious serial killer Ted Bundy in nearby Golden, CO a few days before Melanie disappeared, authorities continue to treat her homicide as a cold case.

Circumstantial factors linking Bundy to Melanie’s murder:

1. Her age and appearance are in line with his preferred victim type (high school to college age, pretty, slender, long brown hair).
2. Like Debbie Kent, Lynette Culver, and Kim Leach, Melanie may have been abducted shortly after leaving school.
3. Like Melissa Smith and Laura Aime, Melanie was a small-town girl apparently abducted from or near the community where she lived.
4. Also like Smith and Aime, her remains were found in the open and largely intact.
5. Melanie’s murder took place firmly within Ted’s "Colorado period."
6. She was known to hitchhike, and was actually seen with her thumb out that day. Ted was known to pick up hitchhikers.
7. Gas receipts place Ted in Golden, CO - less than an hour away - earlier that month, proving he was at least somewhat familiar with the area. Bundy lived in Salt Lake City, so this is sig

Look folks, hear me out. My parents are so fucking abusive and the never leave me the fuck alone. They constantly are screaming at me, talking about me behind my back, comparing me to others, and taking away all the things that make me happy.

Some people tell me, “Oh it’s just a fee months more of this.” I appreciate their effort but I don’t wanna live like this for another half a year. I don’t wanna feel suicidal every other day as I have for the past 3 years. I don’t wanna ruin all my relationships because of how depressed I am that my parents act like a holes.

What the hell do I do? Nothing has worked for the past 3 years. I have just had video games to distract me from wanting to kill myself and I don’t wanna live like this anymore.

Have fun with that, fellow elders.

Hey, so I applied to state and did a ton of digging. And I found out that most of the professors on the website (https://cals.ncsu.edu/molecular-and-structural-biochemistry/group/faculty/#AdjunctFaculty), except for 3-4 of them, had bad reviews on rate my professor. I know college will obviously be hard, and I will have to adapt, but my question is how much should I trust rate my professor? And to add to that, how good is the biochem department at state? Since I don't have any connections to anyone at State, this would be a great help. Also, I have one last question: how difficult is it to double major, in terms of coursework and whether or not you are accepted into the second major itself, because I've been thinking about it for some time now? Thanks for your help!

I don't have any other history of employment but I really need this job to help pay for my college. Do you think they will accept my app and offer me employment? I am only available evenings and weekends.

I know it can be tough to work at chipotle because of demanding customers or unfair treatment but this location is the most convenient and is essentially the only fast food restaurant that's near me. I also desperately need the money.

Also, is it true that they give you free insurance and help pay for college tuition? What are the conditions?

Thanks!

Half of my sophomore year was impacted due to the pandemic and learning that last semester was a joke. I felt so incredibly bad for my teachers. They must’ve felt so scared for their students, and stressed about the pandemic and all of the changes that soon followed. Basically you had to turn in “work” and you would get a good grade

Anyways, coming back into the classroom parts of my Junior year and full time this Senior year…something has been really off. Like yeah the obvious is the masks, classroom protocols, etc. What I’ve mainly noticed and the reason I’m writing this post…there is absolutely zero life in the classroom. Last year was atrocious with how separated we were virtually. Coming back in the Winter was so odd, as absolutely no one would participate in class discussion. And virtually, no one would turn on a camera. The school was eerily quiet

And unfortunately, things have stayed the same. At lunch, my school along with many others put up dividers at the tables. This blocks social interaction and leaves Cafeterias looking like an isolated prison. I mean it’s truly sad, I remember how lively the lunch room was and now it’s been completely shut down. Class participation is better, but still extremely awkward in some cases. Many of my classes are quiet and have legitimately no student involvement, which is something you would never see at my high school pre-covid.

I can tell teachers lessons plans have taken a hit. I’ve never been assigned less in my life. I love it, but I know teachers wish we could be more engaged with more activities in class. That we obviously can’t do because of covid protocol limiting what hands on activities we can do. And I think we get a benefit out of that in our education, it’s truly something that’s been missed. Im not going to lie, I remember hating my Freshman and Sophomore years for how much “arts and crafts” type projects were involved in our core curriculum, but in hindsight it makes me appreciate that my teachers wanted us engaged in the content and wanted us to succeed on assessments and have a fuller understanding of content.

Now, teachers just do notes and assign minimal work…which leads to poor test performance. I truly understand it, I do. I understand that covid has exhausted all of us. Something that was extremely unacceptable to me however was my math teacher last year. EVERY class had the same format. Notes for 30-45 minutes, questions, “you may leave the meet”, repeat. The fact that teachers weren

He’s currently in the hospital with a tube in his chest, trying to reinflate his lung, and avoid permanent lung damage.

What’s crazy is that this happened AFTER he got back home to Colorado and complained of bubbling in his chest to his high school nurse, and they took him to the ER. He’s now suing Scott and the organizers for a million bucks, which honestly might cover his medical bills 😞

Melanie Suzanne Cooley was last seen attempting to hitch a ride near Nederland High School on April 15, 1975. Her body was found by road maintenance workers on May 2.

Melanie lived with her family in the foothills west of Boulder. Her dad was an airline pilot, her mom a University of Colorado student studying English and anthropology. The Cooley family was politically active, participating in marches, Vietnam War protests and civil rights demonstrations.

Melanie was an artistic girl who enjoyed reading, journaling, writing stories and poems, and playing guitar. She took photographs for the high school yearbook, kept score for the school’s basketball team and worked as a valet driver at a local ski resort. She loved nature and had an interest in Native American heritage and culture, and while she planned on going to college, she often expressed a desire see the world; “to get in a Jeep and just drive.”

Melanie had a contentious relationship with her parents, and especially her mom, toward the end of her life: she was even more skeptical of traditional small-town values than her folks, and had reportedly experimented with drugs, including marijuana; enjoyed hitchhiking, often accepting rides home from school because she didn’t like riding the bus; and either had or was planning to become sexually active.

Melanie was wearing a denim jacket with a large eagle embroidered on the back, jeans and knee-high leather boots when last seen. She had her long brown hair pinned up “in a kind of French roll,” according to her mother. When she didn’t call or come home after school her parents called the police, but were told by a Boulder County Sheriff’s Deputy that they could do nothing for at least 48 hours.

The following Thursday a man found Melanie’s wallet near his property and brought it into the school. A few days later her parents and four deputies searched the area where the wallet was found, which had formerly been the site of a hippie commune and had “sheds and outbuildings, piles of old lumber, barrels of trash and rusted auto bodies” strewn about. Melanie’s mom found her daughter’s birth control pills, in a personalized container bearing the name "Suzi," lying in the dirt a few feet from the side of the road.

Melanie’s body was later found, frozen and fully clothed, on Twin Spruce Road near Coal Creek Canyon. According to Sheriff Brad Leach:

*“She had been bludgeoned, perhaps with a stone. Her hands were tied in front with a yellow nylon cord; many
