Request reason:

This is my personal account. I graduated from Johns Hopkins in 2015. I am of the class of 2015. This is not a group account. Thanks to the overzealous editor who blocked my account. Please unblock this account. I'll remove the word 'class' from username if including that word is too much for the community to handle.

Decline reason:

The rules say usernames must not appear to be groups or organisations, so there's no need for calling someone overzealous for applying the rule. Changing to Johnshopkins2015 would be no better. It still appears to be an account representing an organisation. Note that us being told it's an individual's account doesn't affect the matter - it's what it looks like that counts.
