Liberal arts 360

When students of a liberal arts college do a 360 degree scan to make sure that someone they know doesn't sneak up on them and eavesdrop on a conversation (read: gossip) about them, since apparently liberal arts colleges are tiny and you're always at risk of someone you don't like running into you
Kayleigh: Did you hear what Ashley did at the frat party last night!

Megan: Girl hold up! We go to Oberlin where there's less than 3000 people on campus and everyone knows each other! Do the liberal arts 360 first to make sure no one listens in!

Liberal Arts and Science Academy

A public magnet high school in Austin, Texas. Commonly abbreviated to "LASA" or "LASA HS" although the latter doesn't really make sense since "Academy High School" is redundant. Used to share a building with LBJ but moved to the former Eastside/Johnston campus to relieve overcrowding.

Historically the school is one of the best academically, consistently ranked top 50 in the US. Prospective students must submit an entrance application to demonstrate their prowess. The school boasts high test scores and near perfect rates of graduation and acceptance to colleges. However, there is concern that admin is letting in too many retards after the move to the new building and that the school will become less "elite".

The atmosphere is quite sleepy and studious for the most part; no fights or bomb threats unlike every other school in Austin ISD. However, depression is commonplace and sleep deprivation is a flex. It's rare to go a day without hearing "kill myself" multiple times.

There is a high percentage of zesty people and other degenerates. The classes are filled with Asians and Indians who carry everyone else. Luckily, the Blacks at this school are chill (all 4 of them). Ironically it is one of the most diverse high schools in the district since many of them are 80%+ Mexican.

But despite being a respectably sized 5A school and having such a prestigious (so far) reputation, no one outside of AISD actually knows about it. It is unknown why LASA is so mysterious in the public eye.
LASA Kid #1: "Yo how do you use the Banach-Alaoglu Theorem for the function that satisfies the Riesz Representation Theorem over the Compact Hausdorff Space for question #1?"
LASA Kid #2: "Skibidi Balls"
LASA Kid #1: "Aww, thank you so much for the help pookie bear! Pull up to my house tonight; let's finish our homework and have gay sex!!!"
LASA Kid #2: "Sorry, but I have 29 different extracurricular activities to attend. I need to be constantly busy, depressed, and sleep deprived so I can sell my soul to Harvard."
LASA Kid #1: "Awesome! I'm gonna kill myself at exactly 8:42 PM tonight by ingesting 750 milligrams of potassium cyanide, chemical formula KCN."
LASA Kid #2: "What a totally average and normal conversation here at the Liberal Arts and Science Academy."

Vikramaditya Kusika Dattachaudhuri: "I go to the Liberal Arts and Science Academy."
Jack Smith (Westlake student): "Never heard of it, where's that?"
Vikramaditya: "In Austin ISD"
Jack: "Is it a private school?"
Vikramaditya: "Erm... acktually☝️🤓, LASA's a public school. It's also the best one in the Austin area, according to USNEWS and Niche."
