Ever since school closed, JD students and teachers have felt increased pressure to look cool on Zoom calls. Many members of the JD community have decorated a single wall of their house in hopes of showing their peers, students, and teachers that they have an interesting and exciting life outside of school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
JD freshman, Meghan Christian, decorated the wall behind her desk with an array of old trophies that had been in a box in her attic for seven years. \u201cI just want to look successful,\u201d she said as she straightened a soccer participation trophy, \u201cSo many people have congratulated me on my new decor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Global teacher, Anna Delaney, spent hours printing pictures of Saint Stephen\u2019s Basilica in Budapest, which she framed and hung on a previously blank wall in her house. \u201cI\u2019ve never even been to Budapest! I got these pictures from Google Images,\u201d the teacher stated in a recent interview, \u201cNow, if you\u2019ll excuse me, I\u2019ve got to go photoshop myself into a picture of the Dalai Lama!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Others, however, have had to do the opposite and remove decor from their walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI had to take down all of my One Direction posters,\u201d Mr. Gasparini said, gazing tearfully at a life-size cutout of the group, \u201cIt\u2019s like losing Zayn all over again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo many students have contacted me in need of help and support with their wall decorations,\u201d counselor Laura Bond said, \u201cI even had to redecorate my wall with all these incoming Zoom calls,\u201d she finished, gesturing at a Nobel Peace Prize on the wall behind her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Others have been seen with walls adorned with electric guitars, signed playbills, priceless paintings, and solid gold bars. However, no one really noticed these decorations because everyone was too busy trying to figure out why their microphone wasn\u2019t working.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
