I have learned a lot during my 3.75 years here at Oak Grove High School, whether from my own mistakes or from others’. Watching people make these mistakes time and again can get frustrating, so I feel it is my duty in this column not only to tell you what you should do during high school, but also what you should not do. Here it is: a list of things not to do before you graduate, or after you graduate, or really ever at all, from a wise and experienced senior.
Do not, under any circumstances, let a parent into the student parking lot.
Don’t be fooled; yellow polo dresses are out of dress code even though yellow polos are fine. That doesn’t make sense, you say? Well it is a rule, so it doesn’t matter.
Don’t choose any hall pass other than the apple. It’s okay if you drop it.
Don’t take an AP class just to say you took an AP class. Trust me.
Don’t use A or B halls, the busiest halls, to get to your classes, if at all possible.
Don’t park in someone else’s parking spot. They will find you. They will make you sorry.
Don’t worry about dressing up every day for school; we all look basically the same in our uniforms. If you wear the same sweatshirt and khaki shorts for a week straight, no one will notice.
Don’t enter the girls’ bathroom if a “wet floor” sign is outside the door. There is a good chance that there might be a man in there.
Don’t walk barefoot in the gym, or anywhere in the school, for that matter.
Don’t pull an all-nighter doing schoolwork; it’s not worth it. Save that for college.
Don’t step on the Warrior Head. Ever.
