It starts with one ant. Just one tiny little worker, casually marching across the cluster carpet like it’s on a mission from Ant HQ. You think, “No big deal.” But by lunchtime, it’s a full-on house party of ants. Welcome to the chaos: Ants in the Hallway.
Before you panic and start building a bug-proof bunker out of backpacks, here’s your official survival guide for dealing with these monsters trying to invade our amazing and wonderful school.
Ants are small, organized, and stupidly fast for their size. But they’re not here to take over the school (yet). Screaming won’t help. Also try to stomp them; unless you want to look like you’re doing a weird hallway dance. Breathe.
Ants have one goal: crumbs (not the cookie company). If you’re carrying cookies, chips, or anything remotely edible, congratulations, you’re now the most popular student in the ant world. Wrap it up, and whatever you do, don’t drop it. One fallen sugar atom can start an ant uprising.
Ants travel in lines like they’re late for class. If you spot a trail, follow it (carefully). It usually leads to their secret cave; a crack in the wall, under a locker, or behind trash cans where dreams and crumbs go to die.
This is a job for janitors, teachers, and me (Certified Crumb Protector). Report the invasion with honor and urgency. Bonus points if you say, “We’ve got a Code Crumb in Sector 3.” Janitorial Justice League are the unsung heroes of hallway hygiene, and they know how to shut down an ant rave fast.
Honestly, ants are kind of impressive. They work together, never complain, and carry stuff 50 times their size. Meanwhile, we struggle to carry our Chromebooks and remember our locker combos. Maybe we could learn a thing or two.
Next time you see ants in the hallway, don’t freak out—just follow the guide. Respect their hustle, protect your snacks, and maybe clean up that trail of cookie crumbs you left behind. After all, ants are just tiny students trying to get to lunch too.
