I would:

• not skimp on college research and apply to more schools. Transferring is a costly hassle, but the more I read about Knox, the more I think it would have been a better fit.
• defer admission
  • to take a much needed break from school,
  • to earn money toward tuition,
  • and to figure out what I want to do with my life.
• tell Boardman, "I was born in Florida, thank you very much."
• go to a few outrageous parties. My high school experience feels incomplete. But I still think alcohol is unnecessary.
• skip prom junior year so I wouldn't know it is a waste of money and would have no problem going with my friends as seniors.
• join the yearbook committee. And maybe beat Jepson out as editor.
• take math studies. Calculus, I hate you.
• try harder. Being a valedictorian is really not that tough.
• stay in Art HL???
  • The Biology HL exam was actually quite easy. I'm sure I could have scored a 6 had I studied.
• not do IB. I don't know . . . For the most part, the teachers alone are worth it.
  • No, I would definitely do IB again.
• try out for color guard.
• get the bulk of my CAS hours done in the summer.
• take the ACT.
• know and befriend everyone in the IB class of '09.
