1. Enjoy highschool...relax and have fun. College is soooooo much harder! Plus, being in the top 10 of your highschool class doesn't mean crap to getting a job in the real world.

2. Don't waste time with meaningless relationships. Your true love is your best male friend.

3. Spend as much time as possible with your grandparents...even if you don't think you have the time. They won't be around for long.

4. Don't blow money on meaningless material things. You may think you want it now, but next week, you may need that money for the ever increasing gas prices.

5. Forget looking at private colleges that are $30+ thousand a year and 3 hours away...you're not going there anyways even if you think it's the greatest college in the world. It's way to expensive, plus, the one closer to home is cheaper and you still get to see your boyfriend! And your best friend is going there too!

6. There's such thing as the freshman 15....but worse yet is the sophomore 20.

All but 6, 11, 18, and 22.
