Surviving the last week of school.

A pure agony comes with the bliss of ending a successful year. You may have more or less friends than when you started. You may have gotten a dramatically different hair cut. In all respects "good for you" I'm sure it was a lot of work, but now it is ending. You're so close, yet so far. So, the question is how do we survive this. Here's how.

     Step 1: Finals. Did I hit a nerve on the top of your head that said "No". I'm sure I did. Finals are terrible. The studying can be endless. So grab an energy drink and sit down with the books. The more you study the easier those finals will be. Play games with it and grab a study group to make it more entertaining. You will learn more if you can explain it to someone else,

     Step 2: Suck up to your teachers for the last week. Even if you don't like them. They control your fate. It's like if you were to buy a bag of chips and the person checking you out was like "Uh NUH UH, You can't buy those" so you sweet talk  till they let you buy the chips. I don't know why they didn't want you to buy the chips but there you go.

     Step 3: Avoid drama in all circumstances. This will make the last few day of school terrifying. You don't want to go last day to "Yeah well Taylor said that Michael said that Brandi said that her third cousin Austin said that you called me dumb." Real mature right? Then you come back first day of school next year to "Yeah I'm not friends with Ashely now because her dog looked at me funny."

     Step 4: If you don't already have the numbers of your friends then you may need to get those. I know that previously I said to eliminate contact, that's only for medium breaks. like spring or fall break. Summer is a different story. That is when you develop your friendship.

     Step 5: Do a little extra house work to get ready for the grade sheet. (If you have bad grades) Your parent(s) will go easier on you. Maybe you'll only be grounded for half the rest of your life. Or like they won't kill you at least.

     Step 6: ENJOY YOUR SUMMER. You've earned it. (I'm serious about cleaning if you have bad grades. I just don't want you to die \(-_-)/ )

And that is how you will survive your last week of school.
