The Overrated Case for ‘Perfectionism’ Anna Wolle Guest Columnist
Before you dive into this story, I ask you to keep something in mind. This article is not intended to be about me, but instead about how you can learn from the mistakes I have made and how we as teenagers and young adults can have a better outlook on life. My name is Anna Wolle, and I have anorexia. Three weeks and four days ago, I never would have suspected that this phrase could ring true. I was clueless. Ever since October, I have tried to lose weight, seeing it as a means to channel my inner drive and see quick and visible results. Unfortunately, I became quite good at weight loss. I ignored my parents’ worried comments, thinking my body was invincible. It
wasn’t until a friend of mine called to my attention the possibility of anorexia that I began to question my bad habits. Admitting our own imperfections can be agonizing but it is a necessary part of a healthy lifestyle. The presence of a physical, mental, or social issue in a person’s life doesn’t hinder them from goodness and success. How can society define ‘normal’ or ‘perfect’ when each and every one of us has such unique qualities, and each of us is also ‘flawed’ in a variety of ways? I hope that every student at this school refrains from defining themselves based on the standards society sets. Learn from the unhealthy path that approach thrust me towards. Instead, I ask that there be a mentality that these so-called ‘imperfections’ that we all have are not blemishes, but are instead the
attributes and conditions that make each one of us unique. Striving to improve can be positive, but remain true to who you are. I am not proud of my actions. My extreme calorie-cutting only made me unhealthy—unhealthy enough to lower my blood-pressure to a state where actions such as singing and walking brought about fatigue. I am proud of my successful road to recovery. In addition to both professional help and my parent’s careful monitoring of my food-intake, it is my change in outlook towards materialistic self-standards that has steered me towards a healthier lifestyle. The past eight months have taught me that society’s view of ‘perfect’ is absolutely overrated. Embrace your imperfections, and remain true to who you are.
What I Will Miss Eric Loeffelholz Business Manager To sum up the last four years of my life in one short article is no doubt impossible, honestly my goal is to write something that is half as well written as my fellow Surveyor members. I love Wash for that reason I’m constantly surrounded by great people that push me to work harder or even to work at all. Even if the encouragement is, in my eyes, trying not to come off unintelligent. From day one, Washington provides educators that were not
Sports Editor
only smart but for the most part interesting, and always excited to share their knowledge. The amazing people at Wash are not limited to the staff, I’ve learned just as much from the kids at Wash as I have from anything else. Every student brings something to offer and I’m glad I could go to a school that celebrates that. Trying new things at Wash is a must, even as a sub-par writer I signed up for Surveyor and after
Brandon Cullen
one year of late, dull stories I was still encouraged to come back, and although my writing hasn’t gotten much better I’ve still had fun. Join Surveyor, do a sport, join a club or just take some fun classes. That’s going to be what I miss most about Washington.

Don’t Hate, Appreciate Mikayla Frye Staff Writer
As often as the words “I hate everyone” cross my lips each day, I find it miraculous that writing this senior column actually stirred up sentimentality within me. With that being said, I probably won’t cry at graduation when some of my classmates are giving heartfelt speeches telling me “Today is the rest of the first day of my life,” or
“Don’t smile because it’s over, cry because it happened,” (or something along those lines). Instead, I’ll probably be hating everyone a little less that day. After four years of dragging myself to school half asleep and annoyed with everything, I deserve one day to actually appreciate everyone. So yes, teacher who never teaches us anything, I appreciate you. And you, classmate who never stops talking, I also appreciate you. Oh, and let’s not forget you, freshman in the hallway who walks 0.8 miles per hour, you are the glory of my existence.
I guess these people have taught me a few things during my time at Wash, if you choose to look at it that way. The less than adequate teacher taught me that maybe teaching is just as hard, if not harder, than learning. The jabber-mouth classmate taught me sometimes it’s better to listen to others than to voice your own opinion. The extremely slow students in the hall have taught me that patience is key, no matter the situation. So my parting words, at the risk of getting teary, are “Don’t ever remember to forget to dance.”
An Incredible Journey Cameron Williams Staff Writer It is hard to believe that the time has come to be writing my senior column. It is only now that I have realized that, although it seemed like it would last an eternity sitting in freshman year math class, four years goes so fast. Looking back on the time I’ve spent at Washington, I am amazed at by how much I’ve accomplished in such a short time. I’ve dabbled a bit in performing arts, took three years of guitar lessons, helped build a GSA club and have realized my dream by going to Japan. The most important part of my journey has been the time I’ve

Senior Columns
spent in my Japanese class. It was there that I found long lasting friendships. It was there I learned about bravery and leadership skills. It was there that I found that I have a passion for travel. It’s been an incredible journey. And looking back at my old self freshman year, I’ve come a long way. And I have a lot of that to be thankful for due to my friends, my girlfriend and all of the teachers that went the extra mile for me. I could never have done it without their support and encouragement along the way and, for that, I am truly grateful.
It’s hard to leave behind a period of your life that is commonly referred to as “the best years of your life,” especially when you have a feeling it very well might be. There’s definitely something frightening about having no plans for the foreseeable future, but there’s also something exciting about it. Although nostalgic and sad to leave, I have faith that ahead of me await equally exciting experiences and adventures.

Michael’s Ten Facts Michael Andersland News Editor In my time at Wash I’ve learned a lot, but a few facts seemed to stand out to me over the years. These facts may or may not be entirely true. See if you can find out which of these are actually true. 1. There are 1,289 trees on the Washington High School grounds. If all the leaves from these trees were stacked on top of each other they would reach to the Sun. 2. Dr. Terry Kahler has written and published his own book. 3. In the halls of Wash, you may hear your buddies say “DP.” Little did you know, this nifty little
acronym actually stands for “Dr. Plagman.” 4. You have no chill. Truuuuuuuuuuuu. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight? That’s what I’m sayyyyyyyyyyin. 5. Francis McMann, a Washington economics teacher, built these walls with his own bare hands, when he was ‘nought but a child. 6. The popular children’s television drama “Breaking Bad” is actually based on the life of Dr. Tom Schnoebelen, an esteemed member of our faculty. 7. Robert Throndson, a Washington math teacher, occasionally went to sleep with his
shoes on during his college days. 8. It is estimated that by the year 2020, at least seven AP classes will be offered to students at local elementary schools, and Wash will still be the number one AP high school in Iowa. 9. Seventeen United States presidents graduated from Washington High School. 10. It’s always a great day to be a Warrior!
Blast from the Past Elijah Wolter Staff Writer
Dear Freshman Me, Nice job since the end of freshman year. But there’s always room for improvement. Here’s some stuff I’ve learned the past few years that’ll make everything run smoother for the both of us. Pull out that trombone and learn all your major scales. Starting right now. Do it. Please. All 12 of ‘em. As soon as possible. It might seem monotonous, but it has to happen. And it’ll keep you from playing D instead of Db when you’re soloing in Ab major.
Sports Editor
That book about natural history your parents have recommended to you is actually really good and is going to tremendously alter your world view. It’s also kind of old so take better care of it than I did so that it doesn’t start falling apart. In general, make more time to read more books. Mahjong is super fun. Learn it sometime before the month before Evan and Brad leave for college so that you can actually get together and play it some. Your dad is way cooler than you think he is. Start going through his CD collection. CSPS has incredible shows and you can get five dollar tickets to most of them. Do that.
Brandon Cullen
There are lots of options to deal with situations other than bluntly stating what you take to be facts. When those situations are full of stuff like “other people’s feelings” and “emotions,” which at this point in time you don’t really seem to empathize with, those other options are probably better than coming off as an idiot. It’s not compromising your values to conform to society’s standards, it’s being a decent, respectful person. That being said, don’t be afraid to shake things up a bit. Love, Senior You

Ian’s Tips Ian Schweiger Sports Editor
Freshmen- Hopefully, you made this year count academically. You don’t want to spend the next three years playing catch-up because you didn’t care enough about school at that time. Also, as a freshman, do not think you’re above the upperclassmen, especially if you’re one of those freshmen that plays a varsity sport (yes, Parker, I’m looking at you). If you do, you could
end up getting posterized in a pickup game by Wes Washpun. Sophomores- Get involved with activities and clubs right away. This is the best way to branch outside your comfort zone and meet new people. As sophomores, you are also allowed to haze the freshmen as much as humanly possible, just don’t go too far over the line. Juniors -First, figure out colleges you’d consider attending and research or visit them, and take the ACT/SAT early. I cannot emphasize that enough. Second, think twice before you make decisions. These decisions can range from petty or life-changing. If you don’t think
twice, it can also cause you to get kicked out of football games. Seniors- Have fun this year and make your last moments of high school ones to remember (in a good way). With that, don’t succumb senioritis as you don’t want to make up things that may jeopardize your chances of entering your desired university, or even your graduation. I’ll end with a general statement about high school; make every moment and opportunity count. You’re only in high school once, so make lasting bonds and memories that you’ll remember for the rest of your life. But no pressure, right?
Struggles Elijah Wedel Staff Writer I don’t know where to begin, all I know is high school is one big journey filled with ups and downs, more downs than ups. This is dedicated to my friends and anyone who is going through some trials and tribulations. This may seem clichéd, but it does get better. I’ve hit rock bottom several times and I’ve climbed back up but with a lot of weight on my shoulders experiencing severe mental illness. My closest friends and family realize, as do I, that the stuff I’ve been through has made me a better and stronger person emotionally and mentally. Remember this; without bad situations there will be no good

ones. When I first started high school I was a shy and timid little freshman with only three or four friends. My sophomore year was my worst year mainly because of the people I hung out with. I was in and out of 3 East (the psych ward in St. Luke’s) after my 10th visit I was sent to Tanager Place which is a treatment facility for troubled teens and I lived there for eight months but I made it through and not only did I make it I thrived. My junior year was better, I had made better friends than before and I finally got and maintained good grades better than my previous two years. My senior year has gone by

so fast and mostly been ups more than downs. Basically what I want to say is if you’re going through something bad or you’re having a bad day look forward to the future there will always be ups and downs but the present will make you stronger. So keep fighting, and remember this; sometimes you’ve got to ruin yourself to the very foundation to build a better life. Elijah Wedel signing out.

Just Enjoy It Hannah Jonasson Photo & Managing Editor Time will fly by faster than you can catch it, so cherish every minute. Great...one sentence in and I already sound like an “Advice for Your Young Adult” book your parents would read. I am by no means an expert advice giver, but seriously guys...enjoy your time. I have two weeks left in my last year of high school- how did that happen? Where did all of my time go? I have no regrets with how I spent my last four years, minus that one time when I tripped and fell and slid across the length of the cafeteria floor and legitimately everyone saw it. Even that, no matter how embarrassing, is a memory I will
always have. “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” I wrote this phrase on the envelope filled with letters we wrote our freshman year that would be opened at the end of our senior year. I had forgotten all about that corny saying, but I am thanking my freshman self for including at least one piece of advice that is helping me now. Quoting one of my favorite The Head and the Heart songs... “A year from now we’ll all be gone, all our friends will move away.” Even though next year we will be at different schools, sitting in different classrooms, and missing all our high
school friends, we will always have the great memories. Like for me singing that song and many others at Jamnesty and PAM Slam. Four short years ago I graduated from eighth grade with a class of 16 (shout out to private school). Now I’m graduating from high school with a class much larger, and I know I will be smiling because of the memories and friends made at Washington.
Advice from Chris Chris Harrington Staff Writer
Your life will change. The 5’6”, 125 pound freshman that left McKinley is not the same guy leaving Wash. From now until you graduate, you will change. The friends you have will split off and find new ones and vice versa, the people you meet everyday will get more and more interesting and ‘out-there’, and the activities you get involved in will spark interests you would have never imagined. Through all of this change just remember one thing, Do You. Make sure you’re satisfied and happy and
Sports Editor
enjoying what you do. If you don’t enjoy it don’t do it, the point of high school is to find your happiness to go on and continue those things post-high school so make sure you enjoy what you do. There is no better place than Wash to find what makes you happy. You can literally do anything here: build a house, write novels, play instruments, make slime, solve impossible equations, play sports, start clubs, BE A ZOMBIE! Anything you can imagine…. Outside of that I have some smaller situation advice: 1. DP is God, he understands, knows, cares, and will do anything to help you out in any way. I mean
Brandon Cullen
any guy that will memorize every student’s name every year cares a whole awful lot. 2. Don’t worry about anything outside of your control. This came from my dad when I was in sixth grade. At the time it was in the context of baseball talk, but putting it into every aspect of life makes things flow a lot easier. If you couldn’t change it, there’s no use in being worried about it. 3. Drama will kill you and any type of happiness around you. Avoid it. Period. Good luck Class of 2014, good luck to the classes that will come after us, and enjoy your time at Wash.

Being a Sappy Senior MJ Kamin Editor-in-Chief
Four years of high school, four years of four sports. I’m known for my heavy involvement in athletics, but The Surveyor has been my balance. I’ve always enjoyed writing. When I was in elementary school, I told my teachers and mom I wanted to become a writer one day. Next year, I’m going to leave that dream in the dust and pursue a career oriented in math and science. I feel as if my life will come full circle one day. Everything I’ve done in high school has been preparation
for my future life - my involvement in sports, the classes I’ve taken - and I look forward to the days when I will write when I am older. Being able to express yourself through words is a lifelong skill that most of us take for granted. If you stop and think about how much you’ve learned because of reading and writing, it’s truly amazing. Now that I’ve covered what writing means to me - and still have more space to reminisce - it’s time to add some helpful tips for success in high school (and life): Get organized. Seriously. Nothing is more annoying to a teacher (or future boss) than someone who can’t keep track of their things. Clean out your backpack. Recycle unwanted papers. My mild case of OCD has shown over the past four years - I’ve
made note cards for every class and organized all my assignments into separate binders. Make friends - but not just a few or a small group - make all sorts of friends. Camaraderie throughout a graduation class really begins to show as a senior, but one of the best things I did during high school was become friends with different people from different groups. Eat a lot of ice cream. If you’re ever experiencing trouble - with friends, school, sports, teachers, anything - it seems like there is nothing that will help. That’s where you’re wrong: ice cream helps. And no, nobody cares if you go back and get another scoop (or three). Finally, join Surveyor. It’ll only be the best decision you make EVER.
I Hope You Mess Up A Lot
Michelle Zumhof A&E Editor
In my letter to myself from freshman year, I told myself “I hope you mess up a lot. I hope you mess up SO MUCH.” Sound weird? Well, I did follow it with, “...Okay not mess up your entire life, but enough to learn from the experiences.” I also hoped to “take advantage of every single opportunity possible” ...As much as I wish I could say that I’ve fulfilled that second one, looking back I now realize that it’s definitely easier said than done.

I regret the countless times I avoided situations solely because of the fear of failure. In a way, my freshman year self was onto the right track though-- it’s more important to take chances and learn from them than to not do so at all. At this point in my mind, I envision the experience of high school sort of like a heart monitor, constantly alternating between drastic highs and lows. Is it realistic to love every minute of it? Nope. But as a
whole it’s kind of a beautiful mess of experiences. I’ve learned that if you solely seek happiness, that’s probably the last thing you’ll find. I’ve learned that it’s important to embrace the entire range of thought and emotion, because there’s wisdom to gain from it all-- the good, the bad, and everything in between.
