Surviving the first night at your friends house.

How to survive the first night at a friends house.

     Everyone loves the thought of a sleepover. Staying up all night hyped on sugary products. However, what if the night is just you and one other friend, and it's your first night at this particular friend's house? What do you do? You want their family to like you, maybe even more than your friend and you want to have a ton of fun. It's so scary you curl up in your Scooby Doo sleeping bag and stay in a fetal position until your parents tell you that your friend is there to pick you up.
     How do we survive this?
Here's how.

     Step one: First we find the coolest pjs Walmart or any fine retailer has to offer.

     Step two: Then we pack our bags. If you feel nervous just remember there is a reason your friend asked you to come over so they must like your personality. Embrace that aspect of yourself.

     Step three: When you enter your friends vehicle be careful that your shoes are not too dirty.

     Step four: After you have invaded the confines of the house do not sit down. Greet the various members of the family. If they have a dog and that dog is barking at you do not fear the owner will tell you that the dog doesn't bite. The calmer you are the more likely the dog won't be aggressive.

     Step five: If you eat dinner there compliment the food and you will go to your friends room for most likely the rest of the night. Chillax and remember to act silly  or serious or however you feel like acting.

     Step six: You have survived the first night at your friends house, have fun.

And that is how you survive the first night at your friends house.

Surviving neglect from your sports " team".

How to cope with neglect from your sports team.
     Has your " team " made you feel as though you weren't wanted? That you weren't needed? That all you were was someone to order around.
     How do we survive this, here's how.

     Step one. Never go out for a team that doesn't feel like one. Unity on and off the field/court is essential to a winning team. What is more important winning or a team tat you can share happy losses with.

     Step two. If it was after you made the team that it became hostile. Try to ignore the bad feelings. If you can't talk to your coach about it then the best option would be to leave the sport. Even if you love the game there is no point.

     Step three. If the coaches are your main source of hostility. Vent to your friends chances are they can try to understand how you feel.

     Step four. Nothing is more important than how you feel about your team. So
don't let people take advantage of your want to be apart of something bigger than yourself.

     Step five. If you only feel angry around the people you're around. What is the point, however, if you do choose that these are the people you want in your life. Then take a little rubber ball and squeeze it. If that doesn't work throw the ball at the nearest coach/player and pretend it was an accident.

Everything you feel is mental and that will affect you worse in the long run. Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself.

How to survive ripping your pants (/-\)

How to survive hole  in your pants.                                                                                          

     Have you ever bent over to pick up your notes that you mistakenly  dropped on the floor? When you hear the "rrr" and instantly pull yourself ninja like to an upright position. You quickly but still horror struck reach for you rear end to discover that " yes that did just happen" you ripped your pants. At these moments we wish that we were cartoons. Where a character can rip off their pants to reveal a new perfectly pressed pair of pants. But we aren't so we have to live with these terrible situations. So how do we do it?
     Here is how we do it.

Step one: If your are one of the many who don't bring extra clothing to school then evaluate what you wore. Are you wearing a long shirt, or a jacket to wrap around your waist. Evaluate the type of pants you ripped. If you ripped leggings it is a lot easier to fix than jeans.

     Step two: Discreetly pull your pants up. If the hole is closer to your front pull them up in the front. If closer to the back then pull from the back. Creating a wedgie note : this method will work better with legging type material. With tight jeans this method will pull the fabric apart making the hole appear larger so you will need to pull them down. This will create slack in the material making the hole appear smaller.

     Step three: Don't tell anyone. Don't go over to your friend and say. " Hey I just tore my pants man this is so terrible." no that brings attention to the fact you ripped your pants chances are they won't even notice that you did it.

      Step four: If you have an open lunch. Go to the office call your mom and have her bring you a new pair. ( thank your mother profusely or father or older sibling, gosh you have a large family)

     Step five: If your shirt will cover the hole constantly pull at the ends. You will look awkward in this situation, if someone asks. Tell them your shirt is too short so you need to stretch it out. L

     Step six: The office is your friend. Go to the lost and found and grab an old pair of sweats and ride the rest of the day hole free.

       And that is how to survive a hole in your pants at school.
( yeah I know this one was less funny, but it's a serious matter.)

Surviving the ride to school

Surviving the school bus.  Ride to school.

      Many of us good ole fashion bus riders know that the time between going to school and coming back from school can be one of two things.
     First it could be a time full of laughter and Tom foolery. Or....not. By "not" I mean it could be a stressful half hour of rush homework completion and a time for replenishing stamina.
     For me I need to sleep on the bus or I will have a terrible day at school full of tear jerking yawns. So how do we survive a stressful bus ride.
              Here's how.

  Step one. In the mornings eat an apple or a banana. These foods will help maintain your energy and fuel your brain for that homework you "forgot" that you needed to do.

   Step two. Sit in the quietest spot on the bus ( yeah you might be next to a sleeping kindergartner. But trust me it's better than a teenager who just had a monster energy drink) and buckle down for those precious moments.

    Step three. Do your homework.

    Step four. Give yourself a congratulatory pat on the back . (pat pat)

    Added note : you won't need this if you do your homework in school. ( just saying )

     Step five. In the likely event that you finish before the ride is over then go to sleep (zzzzzzzzz) or hang out with your friends. (sup bro)

     And that's how you survive the ride to school.

Surviving high school lunch.

     Lunch. A place for socialization and daily nourishment ( if you call it that ).  But what if your school has more than one, and your friends aren't in your lunch. What do you do? Who do you sit with? What if your standing in the doorway staring with your mouth open, as you gaze upon the people your brain cant even recognize  as humans?
     What if you have to sit with the worst person in the entire school? And all you want is to take your lunch into the bathroom and cry into your ironic smiley fries? What do you do?
      Here's what you do.

Step one: Purchase your gruel with a smile so large sponge bob would jump out of the water and "face palm" .

Step two: Walk into the lunchroom with you mouth firmly closed and walk with stride. Your display of confidence will be your friend.

Step three: Go over to that person that you don't know but want to sit with and say " Hi do mind if I sit here. " ( Caution if you feel as though you will puke just at the sight of this person's awesomeness you should start with someone a little less cool.)

Step four: In the unlikely event that you fail, promptly turn around laughing as though everything you said was a joke but not obnoxiously. Find an empty table and sit. If you have a phone then at your own discretion ( depending on your school rules and your responsibility in following said rules.) Pretend to text.

     That is how you survive lunch with no friends.
