How To Not Be A High School Snake
someecards.com

High school is filled with some of the shadiest people, and you just might be one of them. But it's okay; you probably don't know you're being a crappy person because it's what everyone does -- it just seems normal. If you do any of the following, it's okay; just stop doing them!

1. Stop Talking Smack

Everyone complains about other people, it's really just human nature. It's obviously justifiable at times because you simply just need to rant about this girl you thought gave you a dirty look in the hallway. In the long run this so called "dirty look" you got probably took up .7 seconds of your time. But you're probably going to spend the rest of your day telling everyone you can about how rude she was and how you feel disrespected. OR you can let it roll off your shoulders and enjoy the rest of your day because you'll eventually forget it happened.

2. There Are Kind People Who Have A Resting B*tch Face

As someone who suffers from the permanent condition that is resting b*tch face I am telling those who do not have it to please give us a break. All of my friends have confessed that before we became friends they thought I was mean or intimidating, but this was before they talked to me. After talking to me, they realized that I was nothing like that. So lesson is: don't judge a book by its cover, and think about all the friendships you could have if you gave people with resting b*tch face a chance.

3. Don't Pretend To Be Friends With Someone You Don't Like

You should be kind to everyone and treat others the way you want to be treated. But do not make someone think you are their friend when you actually hate them. You don't have to go out of your way to let someone you know that they aren't your favorite person. But don't give them a false sense of friendship; it's a jerk move.

4. Be Straight Forward

If you have a problem with someone, take it up with them and tell them directly what is wrong instead of telling everyone else about it. It will save a lot of your time, avoid a lot of drama, and make everything a lot easier.

5. Make Sure Your Business Stays Your Business

It's YOUR business, not everyone else's. If you're beefin' with someone, it only needs to stay between the two of you. Don't put it on social media and don't tell everyone else about it.

6. Stay Out Of Other People's Business

This is really one of the worst things you can do; don't get involved with things that don't concern you. You are irrelevant to whatever is going on -- don't try and make yourself apart of it when you don't need to be. It's just not cool to pry into other people's business.

It's okay if you do these things and don't realize it. I'm just telling you now that you should probably stop.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
