Grade 12 is pretty crazy. Here are a list of lessons I have learned since school started back up.
1. No matter how many times you tell yourself you can do EVERYTHING on your "To Do" list, you will fail.
2. Making friends is easier than it may appear.
3. Losing friends is easier than making friends.
4. Don't be creepy around your teachers.
5. I love speaking in front of the class.
6. Sometimes the people least like you, are the most like you. You will always hate them.
7. The grade 9s every year repeat themselves.
8. Sometimes you will say stupid things, and that is okay.
9. If you ignore a teacher in public once, don't try to wave to them the next time you see them in public, they won't expect it.
10. Grade 12 is stressful.
11. There is too much pressure put upon grade 12s.
12. The University process is too confusing.
13. People don't suddenly hate you, you are probably just interpreting one of their bad days, towards yourself. Don't do that.
14. Even if people hate what you wear, they honestly in the end, do not give a shit what you wear. Except me, if you are wearing sweatpants EVERY SINGLE DAY at school, I might punch you.
15. Its easier to make someone hate you, than make someone like you.
16. You can't make someone like you.
17. If you workout, protein powder isn't "the shit" because it really doesn't do much except help in recovery.
18. Act on impulse. But not always.
19. Even thought someone drives you crazy and you hate them, you can still be physically attracted to them.
20. I still love you.
21. People don't need alcohol and drugs to get through highschool. People who think they do, are the most naive.
22. Teenagers care most about themselves, and care less about others. So really, the way you look and what you do, they care less about than themselves. They will be all ears if you are talking about them.
23. Some of the smartest kids that seem really into charity, are actually the meanest, and make you feel the most insecure. The ones that seem like they would be the least judgemental, are the most.
Lessons I would like to teach YOU about highschool:
1. Don't care about anything, ever.
2. Care about what you want to care about, don't listen to #1.
3. Getting a bad grade on one or two tests, or one or two assignments is not the end of the world, try harder and get help on the next one. You can still end up with a good average.
4. Teachers are your best friend... but not all of them. Get to know them, and then talk to them, often.
5. You will always hate one person in every one of your classes, or at least be a little annoyed of them. You may have to work with them in a project, but you will get through it.
6. You will lose many friends. You can also make friends. Don't worry about it, it will happen. Not all of them will last as long.
7. If you want to do something daring, just do it, the second time you try to do it, it will be 2x as hard. Example: You want to ask your teacher for help after class, but you are unsure if you should or not. Do it, the next day you will be 2x as nervous, and less likely to do it.
8. If someone gives you alcohol, drink it. If someone gives you alcohol, don't drink it. Your life is your choice. Teenagers are not responsible people, but you are still expected to make the right choice. Either way, its your life, and your choice, and honestly... nobody cares.
9. Nobody cares about anything. DON'T CARE.
10. You will probably do something embarrassing at least once, i.e., fall down the stairs, get ketchup on your shirt, have a booger, fart, cell phone going off in class, ANYTHING. Something will happen, be ready. And remember: Nobody will remember in 5 years. Unless you like throw up and shit yourself everywhere, then that is kind of a hard thing to forget.
11. Don't sweat anything. Everything is easy once you get the hang of it.
12. You are going to sweat everything even though I said not to. It gets easier though.
13. Everyone is different. Take advantage of this.
1. No matter how many times you tell yourself you can do EVERYTHING on your "To Do" list, you will fail.
2. Making friends is easier than it may appear.
