take the high road

When you 'take the high road' - it means doing the right thing even if its not popular or easy.

Not to be confused with the Scottish Song The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond - which no one seems able to really interpret in any case... But is a good tune to reference when you need to remember to 'take the high road'
If a person wrongs you, no need to go and seek revenge or let it worry you. "Take the high road" and let them take the low road. In the long run that person will have probably wronged many people and their reputation is tarnished (their road is rougher) - while if you don't let it bother you and stick to doing the right thing, life will more likely work out for you as you are not bothered by the negative stress and your reputation is better. Metaphorically speaking, like a High Road (aka freeway / highway) the view is often better and you can travel faster, while the low road is slower and has more obstacles and traffic lights.

It's also the correct path to take to becoming what is also known as a righteous dude

Frisco High School

Frisco High School where the bathrooms are juul rooms and where everyone’s faker than kim kardashian’s ass. That shits always dead and everywhere u step that hellholes cold as fuck, like fr that bitch colder than an igloo. Tons of kids come to school higher than their gpa and the staff never notices because they are oblivious. Frisco High “The Origanal” is definitely not the place to be.

Marvin Ridge High School

Marvin is 22 miles south of Charlotte. Recently it was unofficially dubbed the town full of the most rich people in the state of North Carolina. We have a fast growing population of 6,500. The rich kids (the families who make more than $350,000) attend Marvin Ridge, the richest, newest, and highest rated high school out of the thirteen in Union County.

A school dichotomized by two major factions -- nerds/aspiring students and the rest of the athletes /rich kids. Central is also paradoxical in many forms.

Case-in-points:

1) Our School is home to a kid who got no questions wrong on both the SAT and the ACT -- despite the fact that he was stoned during both tests.

2) Often a locus for great athleticism, Marvin Ridge routinely succeeds in football and basketball. After the sports games, it is not unusual to see a kid picked up in a Rolls Royce Phantom.

3) We are located in one of the wealthiest cities in the state of North Carolina, yet our school is always the last school to get new computers because the rich white kids will just tear them up in 3 months because they have Affluenza.

4) Finally, Marvin Ridge is horribly over-crowded. However, it's still better than sending your kids to a private school, as Marvin Ridge has better test scores than said school- probably.

Our motto is the Mavericks, and I'm sure the rich people at our school could win a lawsuit with Ford if needed.
Marvin Ridge High School is a raucous concrete jungle, but I sure as hell will not miss it.
I love the smell of money in Marvin Ridge High School.

At Marvin Ridge High School, it will not be uncommon to announce the winner of a national award, or a 36 ACT, and have the fire alarm pulled in the same day.

At MRHS, I saw many preppy kids, interspersed with nerds and stoners.

I wish our school had a pool, but I'm sure some rich white guy will have one installed someday because of how rich the school is.

The grafitti in the MRHS men's restroom indicates that our school is filled with many preppy, Republican, closet Neo-Nazis.

runner's high

Something that actually exists. After strenuous exercise endorphines are released creating a "high" feeling. Its not the same as a marijuana type high. Its more of a lightheaded feeling and you cant feel your body alowwing you to run even further. You wont get it if you run 5 minutes. Most feel the effect after 30-40 minutes of hard running.
Joe: Dude runner's high doesnt exist.

Bob: Thats because you only run a lap then give up you fucking pussy.

Joe: well how long do you have to run?

Bob: about half an hour.

Joe: fuck that.

exercise isnt for everyone.
