Thanks Katy Kauffman, I really enjoyed the reminisce for your journal, and I hope that you keep writing along the same lines...we all need advice sometimes, even when we don't want it.

 

Key to life-

            Fill it with Passion-  do all things passionately.

            Love and loose, and suffer-  build, dream, overcome.

            Stand on your feet.  Life the world to your shoulders.  Feel the weight?  Its not yours- pass the globe.  But passionately understand that all things are bigger than you- that there are many views to one situation-

            Common sense is not a common thing to find- its something that is taught like patience.

            Teach PATIENCE as the second key to life.

            Smile, learn, have the drive to achieve, or the passion of disgrace in failing.

            Dont give up.

            Keep your faith- sometimes its all you possess.

            Know your morals and dont give in.  NO means no. Dont do something to please others- be firm and stand your ground.

            Rebelling is part of growing up but eliminate the amount of stupidity in your rebellious acts.
            Always have a designated driver.

            Know yourself- learn about yourself- its healthy and it relieves loneliness- even if there was no one else, your too important to yourself.

            Donate to charities.

            Dont forget those whove helped you along the way.

            Have a competitive attitude, but be a good teammate.  We all play together in the game of life.

            Vote.

            Think about life- whats happened- how you feel and what other affects its had on others.

            Daydream.

            Take pleasure in the simple things.

            Love life.

            Remember your past- even the painful parts- they are the key to your strength.

            Write.

            Read.  

            Read the Sunday comics.  Try to interpret them and praise the artist for their wit.

            Sleep in every once in a while and enjoy it.

            Have stuffed animals.

            Play your music real loud to REALLY FEEL it- vibrations and bass.  Enjoy music- Classical.

            Attempt to drive within the speed limit. Always BUCKLE UP.

            Burn candles.

            Love freely without restriction.

            Trust.

            Feel the Peace and attempt to bring peace to everyone around.

Nothing to do in this boring town

The smell of horse crap all around

Supermans not gonna save the day

Im breaking rules just 2 stay sane

 

School is really getting old

Dont wanna learn how to be controlled

Going mad in this boring class

I feel like doing something crass

So we pick up someones TV

And chuck it off the balcony

 

Look at these kids living inna dream

Mommy and daddy pay for everything

Their only concern is if the surfs up

Im so sick of these stoopid schmucks

 

Ive had  more than I can stand

Whens this semester gonna end?
