Isn't it funny that for years and years of primary school we all had the same rules set out for us. Now, growing up I thought they were pretty self-explanatory, however as time has gone on I've noticed many don't see it the same way. Or maybe they have forgotten? Don't worry though because I have it right here! Rules of an elementary classroom that you should probably follow in college and life in general.
1. Say please
No one is required to do anything for you. Don't demand it, I don't care if they do it all the time.
2. Say thank you
Yeah, they didn't have to do that so be thankful...you'd be bitching if you didn't get one.
3. Hold the door open for the person behind you
It'd be cool to not let a door slam on someone's face
4. Keep your hands, feet and other objects to yourself
Don't smash that beer bottle over that person's head. I know it looks cool in movies, but it's really not.
5. Tell the truth (no half truths don't count)
Don't be shady my friends...it's not cute.
6. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all
Let's all remember how hard it was to be teased, would anyone like to recall the playground taunting or horrible middle school years? No. So, can we not
7. Treat others the way you would like to be treated
Would you like someone to sleep with your ex? Or would you like someone to stab you in the back? Would you like to be left out of plans and talked about? No, you wouldn't. So let's remember that.
8. Be respectful to yourself and others
Be respectful to yourself and don't be that person passed out on the floor at some house you don't know. Be respectful to others and don't take a picture of them passed out on the floor...unless you're their friend, then by all means snap away.
9. Respect other people's property
Do not take someones stuff, their alcohol, food, anything. Also, try not to put holes in people's walls.
10. Listen quietly while others are speaking
Hear them out.
11. Speak politely
Think about how others could be feeling
12. Do your best
You're gonna mess up, but just try and do what you can...that means a lot.
