I need some metaphors for overcrowding. I know that I know some, but I’m drawing a blank.?

I need to write an op-ed article utilizing metaphors, and I’m writing about overcrowded schools in my home town. However, all the metaphors that I know aren’t coming to me at the moment, and I have other assignments I need to do, so I can’t spend too much time on this.
