I remember being an edgy kid and writing “I hate life” on a table. I came back the next day and there was another person’s handwriting saying, “it gets better!” It was so wholesome

Advice for college:
• Don’t be scared to switch your major to something you’re more interested in
• Figure out the how you study best (groups, flash cards, lots of example problems, reading the book)
• Have a set time for homework/studying and turn your phone off during it
• Take advantage of every free thing they give away because your paying for it
• If you’re struggling in a class, go to your professor’s office hours or go to the tutoring center
• Workloads for classes peak at the same time (at my school at least), so know how to manage your time when it peaks

Honestly, I’d carry my baby if I had one at my graduation. Imagine birthing a child and raising them while still in highschool and you graduate. That’s an achievement

Man, Gen Z high school is just a mixture of depression,
stress,
Snapchat,
memes,
fear that the world will inevitably end before you are able to have a life,
gayness
and vaping

*oh god i forgot my baby’s in my graduation cap*

There was a time I was having a mental breakdown in class, I was a senior and I overheard a freshman comment saying that I was "too old to cry". Don't let people tell you that, there is nothing wrong with letting out emotions, people go through things and it's natural to let it out. It's also healthier to let it out rather than bottling it up and throwing it away. My advice tip for mental health with stable grades is to just seek help, nothing wrong with admitting that. Your mental stability matter much more than grades. :)

We had a few incidents that could be considered "the incident" at my high school.
1. One kid drowned in the school pool which resulted in a massive lawsuit
2. A state representative visited the school Republican Club, said an "inappropriate" comment, which made national news
3. 3 kids OD'd in the middle of class on cold medicine and had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance
4. Another kid died in front of the school was hit by a car after dark during a game of chicken and died

how to not get bullied in high school

step one: be the bully
step two: don’t wear red eyeshadow

[whyyyyyyyyy]

I know this is a year-old video, but I figured this could still be good advice for anyone going through the comments.

My brother graduated college a bit ago.
I once asked how he managed it all (only 20% of his class actually graduated; it's a tough school).

He told me that this one wallpaper he kept on his computer throughout all of college kept him from dropping out multiple times.
It was from a show he loved; it had a simple quote: “The moment you think of giving up, think of the reason you held on so long.”

*To anyone going to college soon (or is already in college), if you think it’ll help, you should get your own piece of motivation; something you can look at when you’re questioning whether you can get through this or not.*

It seemed to help my brother a lot when he needed it, so I figured it might be useful to at least 1 person.

FunFact! The whole *’My spoon is too big!’* is actually a line from the film ‘Rejected’ by Don Hertzefeld released in 2002. Considering your school probably took place in the early 2000s it makes sense why your teacher was obseesed with taht one piece of dialogue.

_(For those of you wondering, Rejected was like the early 2000s version of ASDF Movie)_

So, I just found my senior quote:

"Middle school is hard because you're dramatic"

And that's the tea sis

[qgar]

I swear to God if I hear Freshmen saying: "PERIODT", "SKSKSKS", "Anna oop", That's the tea sis", Imma drop out

My favorite memory from school was these popular boys were, like, “players” i guess. they would switch what their cush was every week, so me and my friends started joking around like, “oops guys, forgot to change my crush for today” or “guys, I’m sorry, i’ve had a crush on a girl for two days” and we’d all crack up and laugh until the bell rang for 6th period.

Y'all dropped this video a year before I started high school. Since then, I've watched it again after every year of high school, just to see how things held up and compared to my experiences. And now as of 2 weeks ago, I've graduated. It's just strange to me to think that it's all done already, like it feels like only yesterday that I was walking into the building for the first time in my sophomore year after COVID (because C.O. 2024 had our freshman year virtually.) And I know you probably won't see this, but thanks for being part of my annual tradition for the past 4 years :)
