I thought the popular kids were the cool kids. I got caught up in that, and it was bogus. School is about finding who you are because thats more important than not being yourself.

Yo, thats illogical I cant have it!

I think you are the best you can be when you feel free, when you feel open. So I think keeping that mentality, keeping positive, is key.

Find things you're passionate about, and find others who are as passionate as you are and will focus on giving you an opportunity to shine and to have your moment where you can be in front of others to show what you can do.

You've got to avoid situations that make you uncomfortable.

When I was in school, my former roommate went through hazing. I heard the stories, but I don't think I've seen a movie that captures the stuff that goes on.

Life happens. Adapt. Embrace change, and make the most of everything that comes your way.
