That zit on your cheek literally does not matter Skipping class one time will not ruin your entire life The boy you’re trying so hard to impress will mean nothing to you in a year Bring coffee to school and ignore people who make fun of it Bring a snack, too. Don’t care if people hear you eating in class. Being popular isn’t and will never be something that seriously defines who you are Appreciate your teachers Doing/not doing drugs doesn’t make you cooler than anyone else. Neither does drinking Talk to the kid sitting alone; even though it may not change your life it could drastically change theirs Participate in school events Wear sweatpants everyday Or wear a dress everyday Wear whatever makes you comfortable Nobody will laugh at you if you sit alone at your lunch table for five minutes Utilize the library Don’t wait 20 minutes to text someone back just to seem cool Tell your friends how much you love them Cherish your free textbooks… seriously Help confused freshmen, be nice to them. Remember how much you would have appreciated it a couple years ago Compliment the other girls in the bathroom That fight you had with your mom really isn’t that big of a deal It’s okay to cry Don’t let your desire for a romantic relationship stop you from forming platonic relationships Remember that life does go on (I couldnt find the source for this text... but i didnt write it ;);)) But its GREAT advice... infact some of these i wish i had remembered/told myself before.  I used to be SOOO scared of sitting alone at a lunch table if say my friends were going to get something to eat or get some water. Also... those spots you see on your face... nobody else sees them!! And nobody really cares what you wear - not unless you are going to some super prestigious schoool where fashion is more important than school work. Focus on school, focus on your grades. But dont panic if you oversleep one day or you need a mental health day and decide to skip a day of school... we've all been there, we've all had to do it. Also remember... school isnt forever, one of the most forgotten things when youa re in school. Its easy to feel like you will sit behind a school bench forever... that you will never be able to liv your life the way you want. But i am sure, once you are done with school you will miss it. The comfort of the routine, schedule, teachers and friends you see everyday. Once you are on your own, there is no timetable, schedule, people you know you can go to..... So do try to make memories and cherish the time you have in school. If you hate it, its not forever if you love it... great, but also know that things will eventually change!
