Advice to Juniors?

As I was looking through documents on my computer, I stumbled upon this one... I remember that Carolyn sent this to us after some sort of Mr.Hess seminar... just something to read:

Advice for juniors

1. take a free fourth block/ set up your senior year schedule so that you have the least amount of work possible
2. don’t worry about little things on your college applications- the sats don’t matter as much as I thought they did
3. go to the zoo
4. get a stumbleupon account
5. if you have incriminating things in your room, make sure you actually hide them instead of leaving them in your backpack or purse
6. make friends with teachers- you might need to eat lunch in their room second semester
7. buy urban decay primer
8. go to tufts
9. be nice to everyone
10. don’t get your eyebrows waxed if you’ve been using acne medication
11. revenge won’t necessarily make you feel better, but sometimes it does
12.  when you go to panera, order the bbq chopped chicken salad sometime
13.  if someone says that you’re singing the national anthem at 3:45, make sure you’re there by 3:40 at the latest
14.  only cut your own bangs when it’s absolutely necessary
15.  buy things on ebay
16. only paint your nails when you know you’ll just be sitting around for a while (like in government class)
17.  say what you actually mean
18.  have a bonding experience with your fellow classmates, preferably after the dance in someone’s basement
19.  when red things are spilled, clean them up now, not tomorrow morning
20.  don’t do things you know you’ll regret later just because you feel like it at the moment
21.  sometimes, being cute is more important that being smart
22.  schools don’t care if you take physics/calc 2. Even schools that are well known for their math and science. It’s okay if you want to take the copout route. See advice #1
23.  wear your retainer
24.  you can’t always assume that people are telling you the truth and/or the whole truth. Sometimes they’re lying, and you don’t even suspect it, so just be on the lookout. Even though it sucks.
25.  Time heals everything, even if it doesn’t feel like it at the time. It doesn’t feel like it at the time because time hasn’t passed yet duhh

Part Two

1. Drink at some point before you go to college. Otherwise your first time you won’t know what you’re doing and you won’t be with people you know that well and you’ll have a higher chance of having a bad experience
2. If you’re going to make a piece out of a plastic bottle, buy a drill bit- breathing in aluminum foil is bad for your brain. Being an mvgs student, I assume you value your brain.
3. If you feel like you want to puke, just puke. Holding it in will make you feel worse
4. Don’t have sex unless you know for 100% certain that you won’t regret it later. And by later, I mean ever in your life.
5. Don’t do it in a car.
6. Get a macbook
7. Don’t drink and drive. But really
8. Don’t smoke out of the window in your basement. No matter what you think, it will end up smelling
9. Figure out how you’re getting home before you leave your house
10.  Dedicate the shots you take to things and write them down in list form
