As our hallways clear out, it’s time to come clean. In the May poll, Tatler asked the student body to confess the secrets they’ve been keeping all year (or all their lives). Luckily, Lakesiders did not disappoint. Here are some student confessions that we’ve compiled for the paper. Read on with a handy reminder from the Scottish: “Open confession is good for the soul.”

1. I left home at midnight to see my partner
2. I spit out of the bliss windows on people when its rainy
3. I have committed countless atrocities in Sarajevo
4. I talked about the answers to the AP calc bc exam with people during the bathroom break #collegeboardcapitalism
5. When trying to ask out someone to the dance, I panicked and asked if their friend was free instead–big mess, do not know how to backtrack from that.
6. i miss my guy best friend who ghosted me and won’t communicate with me now 🙁 i don’t even know why it happened bc we’re not even talking anymore and i just hope everything’s okay

If there is anything to take away from this article, remember to wear a pad to concerts, take cover under the windows of Bliss, and have a good summer!
