No ears? Must be a high school student.

Now that temperatures have dropped below zero, the method of distinguishing between high school students and university students standing at the bus stop has become even easier.

Never mind the fact that high school students are the ones with bulky, looks-like-they’re-a-Sherpa-about-to-climb-Mount-Everest book bags, having yet to discover the compact beauty of messenger bags.

Anybody who will let their ears turn white, then black, then crispy and at risk of falling off, before they’d be willing to wear something as uncool as a winter hat, must be a high school student.
