Rules For Survival
{by sara}

Eat when you are hungry. Don't eat when you're not hungry.

If your math teacher is talking about orbits and space, it's a pretty sure thing that you don't have to be paying attention.

You don't need to know half the stuff you learn in school. Learn it to pass the class, then immediately forget it, you won't need it again.

If the font has a whacked out name, chances are nobody else has it, so don't use it on your webpage, even if it looks cool.

When in doubt, duck. If you're sure, don't bother 'cause you're already screwed.

People are scary.

Voo Doo is weird, and very technical. So are bombs.

Go ahead, cry. Don't cry just for attention, cry 'cause you need to.

Music is god.

Blast the rock music as loud as possible. Who cares if you shake the ceiling of the room below you?

Build a webpage, if only to say you have one.

Fighting over something is dumb. Fighting because you have nothing better to do is a good idea.

Men are stupid.

Women are evil.

I guess then the rest of us are screwed, aren't we?

You think, therefore you are dangerous. Never let a government official know you can think.

If you ever think "What the hell is wrong with me?" chances are that you're perfectly sane, cause you noticed something in the first place.

We're all just a tad bit crazy. Some of us more than others, of course. But it's those who deny their craziness that you should worry about.

Girls have an incessant need to talk about their problems. Guys- deal with it.

Guys have it easier than girls; but we live longer.

If you want to sit and stare at the wall, sit and stare at the wall, and ignore those who give you weird looks.

Keep in touch with at least one former teacher. Besides being good conversationalists, they'll come in handy when you need college recommendations.

Find at least one person who can be your best friend for life. Then hold on to them, because most people can't find that person to begin with.

If you can't see, turn the mask around.

Eyes always go in the front, I don't care what kind of alien you are making. Eyes = front.

You think, therefore you can't sleep.

Adenine + Thymine = Double hydrogen bond. Cytosine + Guanine = Triple hydrogen bond. Remember this for freshman biology.

Build up an immunity to physical pain. Especially if you're in a martial art.

Learn to walk. It will serve you well.

If you're angry - hit something. If you're sad - cry. If you're happy - smile. But, if you're none of the above... sit there and laugh. If you're not angry, sad, or happy at any given time, you're crazy.

People suck. Avoid them at all costs.

Insomnia is the devil incarnate.

Any type of school or camp food is probably poisoned. Don't eat it.

If you see that there is no practical application in life (your life) in whatever you are learning, go ahead and zone out. If the teacher catches you, simply tell them "This is not going to affect my life in any major way, and I do not see the point in learning it."

Most anything you do up until the age of 18, when you can move out, will get you in trouble.

It is possible to live on donuts, bagels, and Salsa Verde chips.

Chocolate does not give you acne. Hormones do.

As much as you might think that things cannot get any worse, and you believe you have hit rock bottom, some dumb jackass will pull out a jackhammer.

You are a teenager. You are supposed to act this way.

Ignore any advice anyone who cannot be trusted gives you.

Ignore any advice anyone who can be trusted gives you.

Never lack an inner soundtrack.

It's SODA. Not POP.

If your wallet is empty, don't spend any more money.

Contrary to popular belief, Catcher in the Rye will not lead to destructive behaviour.

If the song "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks reflects your life, there's something seriously wrong with your family.

Goddesses (and people regarded as them) fall harder than most. Somebody should catch them, to avoid unnecessary bloodshed.

War is bad.

Peace means that something is going to happen.

If for some reason you don't know why the hell you're here, or who the hell is talking, or what the hell they're talking about, or even where the hell you are....congrats. You just discovered that we're not living in reality.

Always dream. Be worried if you aren't dreaming.

Life all but sucks up until the point when you can move out. Then it gets really good.

If you feel yourself going backwards into something bad, instead of forwards out of the something bad, go get help. Immediately.

For any given point in your life, have a song that means something to you. It will get you out of anything bad, guaranteed.
