Well, my days are dwindling down within these halls. It is bitter sweet to wave goodbye to the Otis cookies, awkward dances, Writers Workshop, and friends. I wanted to leave you remaining students with some advice so here’s a random list to keep in mind.

• Never write quotes on the bathroom walls. Your inspiration doesn’t convey while we’re in the stalls.
• If you’re playing music on the computer, keep in mind that the rest of the room may not want to hear ‘Talk Dirty to Me” an unreasonable amount of times. Be considerate.
• Why are you clumping in the middle of Times Square? Your clique isn’t as important as my Derch test that I’m late for.
• If you’re going to spend money at a sporting event, you might as well cheer. This is not just a juvenile social event.
• Stop saying “Or Nah”…it isn’t funny anymore.
• They say procrastinating is bad, but you got to do what you got to do. Don’t feel shameful.
• Branch out of your friend group. If you think people are not good enough for your friend group then you should just pause for a minute.
• Take Writers Workshop because sometimes we all need a hug.
• Don’t tell a student photographer to take your picture because we hate it, it is annoying, and we can’t use non-candid photos anyways.
• Regarding the last bullet, do not use obscene hand gestures in pictures intended for yearbook, newspaper, or website. If you do, contemplate your maturity level.
• And finally, bring headphones to school so you can go with your own flow.
