:.Hey x3My name is Emily and blah blah blah.
:.I have a lot of personal, family, and friend issues of my own so a lot of times, I can probably relate to you a lot of times if you have personal, family, and/or friend issues.
:.I can offer a lot of information, help, and advice on family and friend relationships, love lives, depression, stretching/flexibility, weight loss, violin, being organized, dog training, forensics (public speaking), keeping up with school/extracurricular activities, eating disorders, writing (stories and poems), and probably a lot of other random stuff like what to drink when you eat something spicy and why.
:.Although I can help a lot of you guys on the above subjects, I don't tend to take my own advice so it can become quite an awkward/ironic/contradicting situation for me or make myself sound like a complete and utter hypocrite.
:.Hannah Whitall Smith once said, "The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right." I agree 100% of it. Advice is advice and it is given when asked for. I give it and I leave it at that. It's up to the questioner/advice seeker to take it.
:.That point leads onto my philosophies in advice giving:
1. Advice is given when asked and no time else, unless your friend is about to irritate a black bear, then you should definitely advice your friend to back away and run for his or her life.
2. Advice is not critical, not judgmental, and definitely not biased. Advice is advice and should remain neutral.
3. Advice is to help, not to get 5s on every answer. As a result, my advice ends up being quite blunt and frank with a hint of rambling mixed in.
If you have general questions on the topics I can be a lot of help in (as listed above), most likely, they will be in my FORUM
If it is not, you can inbox me to request me to put it up.
:.If you want to ask me a question directly...
a)if it is not urgent and can wait a week or so, inbox me.
b)if it is an urgent question such as "I'm being eaten by a shark! What do I do???" first of all, I'm quite amazed that you can type while being eaten and second of all, e-mail me at cancel.life@gmail.com. I will answer you by midnight of that day (or if it's 11:55PM, probably by 3PM the following day).
advice
hey
this september, i'm going to be going into high school. i have a few questions. - you don't have to answer all of them; even if you can answer one, i'd be greatly appreciative.
1.) what's the FASTEST way to learn the map of my school? - besides getting a map & memorizing it
2.) how do i not become nervous the first few weeks when i'm getting accustomed? [like when i get lost, etc.]
3.) any tips on how to survive at least freshman year?
thanks so much, kidss.
1)Go to your school, and just memorize the first floor. Then the second floor. Or mark your classes on the map and try and look at it for a while. Then ditch your map and try and find your way around to your classes. Basically, you just need time to adjust. Also, try and find the quickest, most efficient way you can get to and from classes. Memorize different ways, too, just in case something happens to your normal route. It just takes some time. I've also learned the importance of looking at the map a whole freaking lot. Erm, look at the map, go around the school. While you look at the map, try and place what that part of the school looks like. But really, find more than one way to get to a class because you'll never know! Just try and go around the school as much as you can. Place what parts of the school looks like as you look at the map. Try and to and from classes to your locker to the cafetaria to the bus loop without your map if the school is accessible/
2)Oh my. I got lost when I went to the high school when I was in 8th grade for my Latin class [The schools are next to each other] Just remain calm, don't spaz, and ask a TEACHER as to how to get to your class. Keep a map with you until you've familiarized yourself with the school. And always keep a schedule with your teacher's name and room number with you. As for getting accustomed, it won't be much different from middle school. Just pretend like you're coming form elementary to middle school again. Your friends will be great comfort and even if you don't have any classes with them, you'll make new friends. Erm, if you have problems with nervousness, eat bananas. They're good beta blockers [they make you less nervous in other words].
3)Stay out of the bathrooms because you'll be caught for smoking. Keep clear of seniors because they'll dump you in the trash can. Avoid eye contact with the teachers or you'll get detention. Haha. JUST KIDDINNNGGG!!!
-Stay organized
-No attitude or cockiness
-Be yourself
-Act responsible and kind and what not to show off for teachers.
-Suck up to the principal of your school.
-Bring around quarters and dollars in your bag in case you need to make a phone call or you run out of lunch money or if that potato chip bag looks irresistible sitting in that vending machine.
-Keep your schedule w/ room numbers all the time
-Bring around a map until you're familiar with the school.
-Do not overload yourself with clubs
-Do all your homework and prepare ahead of time if possible.
-Stay organized. This is very important. Make a schedule if you need to. Organization is the key.
-Get enough rest!
-Have fun!
Freshman year is exciting because you get to start a new school. Don't worry about friends, making new friends, etc. It's easy and you'll have new friends in no time.
Everyone also says that upperclassmen [usually 11th and 12th graders] won't like freshies. I oppose that. A lot.
When I was a freshie last year, most of my friends were in 10th grade. I have 3 or 4 junior friends [all very nice] and I made friends with lots of seniors, though I regret it now that I'm going to miss that. Haha. But if they don't seem to like you, don't cling. Move on =)
(Rating: 5) haha your answer was funny & truthful. thanks!
