The Axiomatic Musings of a Teen who is loving senior year so far.

But then I still have over a month until college application deadlines start, so I can't be too sure just yet. Anyway. Today I was inspired to make a list.

THINGS ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO BY THEIR SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL:

• Identify the quickest route to each of one's classes on the first day by simply looking at one's schedule.
• Identify the cleanest bathrooms and the coldest water fountains in the school. 
• Know which bathroom stalls lock and which ones haven't been fixed since your freshman year. (Any girls reading this right now know exactly what I'm talking about, although obviously I don't know about the guys' bathrooms)
• Successfully BS responses in class even when one hasn't done the homework.
• Forge a parent's signature. (Okay I know this is very wrong but let's be honest here, no one wants a 0/10 on the first homework assignment of the semester for forgetting to show your parents the list of class rules)
• Stay up until 1am or later doing homework but still be at least 80% compos mentis by 7:30am.
• Text without looking.
• Hackey-sack. (Because we all looked out our Comparative Cultures class in freshman year watching the super-cool seniors playing hackey-sack on the senior walk and couldn't wait to be them)
• Correctly use your and you're. (Yeah I'll go there)
• Multi-task (I currently have 9 open tabs in Chrome right now. Granted 5 of them are ear cuffs on Etsy that I want but I digress)
• Write an essay the night before it's due and still get a good grade. 
• Take off a hoodie while carrying a backpack without dropping the backpack (Extra points if you don't have to put down your coffee, either)
• Laugh at how stupid one was in middle school.
• Relax once in a while, because by now one has figured out that not everything is the end of the world, and sometimes things end up pretty damn okay. :)
