kaneland 

A high school also known as cocaineland, full of crack heads and girls trying to get over a thousand followers on instagram. Half the kids will probably drop out to sell drugs, the other half is definitely going to be working at mcdonald’s. The best part about kaneland are the shooting threats that we get about every three weeks. The water here will probably give you led poisoning so don’t drink it. But we do have a 3,000 dollar dinosaur statue so i think that’s a necessity everyones school should have.
