More observations from the front lines (aka, how to be cool in high school):
*Somehow it's cool again to shave half your head and leave the other side of your hair long
*curse as much as possible = really really cool
*if you laugh out loud, be sure to look nervously around at the rest of the students in your group to make sure they're laughing as well (if they're not, start sneezing or something to mask that you thought something was funny that nobody else did)
*If you're a jock (and male), be sure to wear gigantic athletic shorts (that come near your ankles), at least 2 pairs of shorts underneath those, and don't bother to tie your shoes
*Be against the man (who's the man? why, whoever you want of course) and ready to protest something, anything at any moment's notice
*make lots of noise, wander around the room, ask the teacher if she has anything to munch, and giggle obnoxiously - and then brag about being stoned (in a voice that surely no teacher could hear...if that teacher is 103 and completely deaf)
*when you're texting someone, hold your phone just below your backpack so that no teacher can see you (again, if that teacher is 103 and completely blind)
*nod and sing audibly to your ipod in the middle of class (don't worry, nobody knows you're way off) - if you're really into it, even break into a headbang every now and then
Ha, these kids crack me up! And to think of all the stuff we thought was cool in high school...oh how little it changes (except for the whole 80's hair comeback, sick and gross)
