<p>There is good to growing up, you’re right ^^ :)</p>
<p>Welcome @redsfan!</p>
<p>So…yesterday was Freshman Friday.</p>
<p>Did anyone get his/her backpack zip-tied?</p>
<p>Zip-tied, seriously? </p>
<p>I hope that doesn’t happen!</p>
<p>^ It didn’t happen to me, but two of my friends (freshman & sophomore) got zip-tied. They tied together the backpack zippers, so the only way to open your backpack is to cut the zip-tie. Which is very hard to do. Lol</p>
<p>Oh wow, I haven’t heard of that happening before! </p>
<p>It’s clever, but not something I would want happening to me :D</p>
<p>I’m part of the class of 2017… wow time does sure fly…</p>
<p>Aww 
I remember being a freshie! I’m a Senior this year and you freshman all make me feel old! </p>
<p>The time really does go by SOOO fast, so make the best of it. Also, don’t take on more than you can handle.</p>
<p>Absolutely love my teachers this year. They are such an improvement from last year. The only one whom I expect a lot of work from is my American history teacher, but im excited for a challenge.</p>
<p>My school apperantly has a 11 point GPA scale. lol</p>
<p>Also I have basically two new obsessions.
- To make Junior Nationals before I am out of high school.
- Become Valedictorian.</p>
<p>I dont want Val. I need it. This cant be healthy…</p>
<p>@oboe I want to be Val, too. I’m not going to stress myself out about it too much though :).</p>
<p>One week till I start school :O</p>
<p>Lucky!! I want to start so bad 
.</p>
<p>Does everyone have their school supplies?</p>
<p>Don’t know exactly what I need, but I got the basic stuff. When do you start?</p>
<p>Haha… class of 2016 here. Good luck guys. And one word of advice: don’t be afraid to try take the initative, even if you guys are freshmen!!! I really limited myself to becoming #1, valedictorian, so my extracurriculars weren’t that impressive freshman year. So – if there’s a club you want to create in your school, or you want to do an internship/research position: I say go for it!!! Don’t be afraid that you will be shot down because you are an underclassman 
Good luck!!! :D</p>
<p>@ sg I start right after Labor Day. I had orientation tonight so I got my schedule/ locker info! </p>
<p>I have all my school supplies and am putting it all in my locker tomorrow. </p>
<p>^ thanks for the advice!</p>
<p>Anyone gonna watch the VMAs tomorrow?</p>
<p>I’m in the class of 2017! I can’t wait; the anticipation is driving me crazy. I start school in three weeks. My school only offers two honors courses and I got into Spanish 2 but not Geometry. Aw well, I’ll take online summer classes to skip into Alg. 2 Sophomore year.
I’m aiming for Valedictorian or Salutatorian. I think it’s crazy I take biochem the first 2 years and on top of that, having to take both an Environmental Studies & Chemistry Regents. I love Science so It doesn’t bother me.</p>
<p>@ sg I watched it! OMG, did you see Miley’s hair? 
</p>
<p>Oh, and the reaction from the crowd during her performance was priceless.</p>
<p>Yeah but thats not the main part the main was the twerking. I mean I don’t hate Miley but I think her growing up thing is being taken too far. I mean look at Selena Gomez, she’s growing up too and shes taking baby steps like a couple of movies she did are rate R. I think Miley should follow Selena</p>
<p>That’s true^ </p>
<p>I mean, in all honesty, I think she’s just looking for attention. The TV network (MTV) also probably wanted attention. They had to know what she was going to do! </p>
<p>Everyone just wants attention. Miley needs to get it somehow since she has no singing/ dancing potential.</p>
