If "current-day you" were to have the opportunity to assemble a starter kit of sorts for "senior in high school you", what would you include in it, and why?

There'd be a boxing glove mounted on a large spring inside, so when I opened the box it would explode out and punch me in the face. Then there would be a classy note inside, written in detailed calligraphy on heavy card-stock that says "Don't be an idiot."

NCC has an elective course call DIY Living which is designed to prepare students for life after high school. Basic functions like balancing your checkbook, preparing a shopping list, setting a budget, basic sewing skills, doing laundry, car repairs, home repairs, how to file taxes, how to dress professionally, etc. etc. etc... Things that kids have no idea about until they are out on their own.

That's actually pretty awesome :thumb:

A piece of paper with these five things written:

 

1. Don't borrow money. Ever.

2. View people through the same lens you hope God views you.

3. Don't ignore or devalue the little things in life. Sometimes they are the most important.

4. Read, read, read.

5. Getslow is coming. Be prepared.

1. Good fake ID - have some fun

2. Blu-Ray of Requiem for a Dream - drugs can be REALLY bad.

3. Condom and/or birth control - don't be dumb.

4. A week of babysitting - the extra-strength version of #3

These subjects were dealt with when I was in school many moons ago. With all the technology today that kids deal with I think over the years we have strayed away from the basic tools of everyday life.

Is this class offered to the general public?? And, Oh so true!!

I'd leave myself a note with the following...

 

1 - Don't make excuses, it may not be easy but it is possible.

 

2 - Figure out who you can trust early on.

 

3 - Stay with the girl you are currently with (For the record, we're still together)

 

4 - Start a forum to discuss high school sports in the state of KY and retire early.

Took my allowance and bought Apple and Microsoft, and then would have retired and played golf starting at 30.....

5. Getslow is coming. Be prepared.

 

Take it easy, Ned Stark.
