As a high school graduate and a not-so-great college student, today I figured I would bring you the full high school survival guide. How to get through high school. Yes, I know. I know a lot of you are in high school watching this, or you might be in middle school, or god forbid if you're a jit, you got many years ahead of you.
I'm never gonna hold you bro, but high school was it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had But what I can tell you is how to make high school a better experience for you because I know it sucks We all gotta go to school and it's trash Hopefully this video can help you make it just at least a little bit more bearable So you walk into the building? It's your first step into your high school. You don't know what to do You don't know who to talk to you don't know shit about the school. Well, don't
Don't worry, every other freshman in that room is just as lost as you. And those 6am wakeups, yeah, they suck. And everybody's pretty much in the same scenario, so... For most people, it's kinda hard to be in a social mood because you're walking around like a zombie and you're at a place that you hate. But the most bearable thing that you can do to make it less dreadful is to meet at least a few people in every one of your classes. And some people that you meet, you might not even continue to talk to.
First day of class is just so awkward. Because as soon as you walk in, the teacher's like pushing everybody to do this icebreaker thing. As soon as you sit down, you should say, what's good? To the person next to you. Like, as soon as you sit down. It's not like you gotta be best friends with them. Just someone to talk to, right? But of course, every circumstance is different. So if you sit down next to somebody and you say, what's good? To a person like this, haul ass across the classroom. As far away as possible from them. Yo, what's good, bro-
All right, well, I'm not sitting next to his ass because if I sit next to him, my head's gonna get bitten off in like the next couple of days. There's always gonna be weird kids wherever you go. It's best to just stay the hell away from them. Don't pick on them or anything either. Just stay out of their way. It's best for your own safety. You don't want little bro to spin for Vaughn because if he does, yo ass is first. It's best not to touch the weird kids with a 10-foot pole and just get to know some people in your class that might seem chill. And this will make the first few days a little bit bearable.
Some of you might have people like from your middle school already that you know. And it's best not to just stick with that one group because your friend group's just gonna end up getting smaller and smaller by senior year. I'm just telling you that. That's just what happens. Do your best to just branch out to different groups if you can. And if you're not the popular kid, bro, don't even worry about it because that motherfucker gonna lose his popularity at the end of senior year. So it doesn't even matter anyway. And some of you that are not so popular, y'all might get picked on by some kids that are quote-unquote popular. And the best lesson I can give to you
is never let anything slide, bro. Just don't let it- You don't have to fight him, but at least do something about it. Do not just let him pick on you, bro. Now, a lot of people in like their first couple of years of high school usually get in their first relationship at this point. And let me- let me break you the news. A lot of them aren't gonna last, bro. That's just what happens. A lot of people aren't even mature enough to be in a relationship yet. A lot of these couples, it's all happy, oh, sunshine, rainbows, and butterflies in like the first month. And then after that, they're just screaming at each other and throwing haymakers.
Like maybe in the first three, four months. Y'all couldn't even last four months without scrapping. That's insane. And if you're in a toxic relationship, do not feel guilty about just pulling the plug. You gotta do it. And some of you might be like, eeeep, eeeep.
Oh no, but I'm gonna miss my high school. Get that out of here, bro. Shut the hell up. They broke you up. Let's go. Gotta stay on that grind set, bro. Now as for extracurricular activities, this one's totally up to you. I don't know if you like have hobbies outside of school or something that you really enjoy doing, whether it's with the school or out of school, but just keep yourself busy. If you're completely new, definitely...
The best way to meet more people is by doing extracurricular activity. If you want your name known at the school, you gotta put yourself out there. Personally, for me in high school, I didn't do this enough, and that's maybe my only regret. But by the time I started finally getting out there, school was pretty much done, so I kind of fucked myself over.
Now, some of you might be concerned about your grades, but the classes, they're not super difficult. Unless you have a dickhead teacher, as long as you do your work, you'll pass pretty much. You don't have to have some crazy-ass GPA or anything. I mean, shoot for that if you want. But the main point is just try your best and get extra help if you need it.
And if you're really struggling, bro, if you're really down in the trenches, just use chat GPT. Don't completely copy it or else your response is gonna sound like a fucking bot. Like, at least revise it. And if you cheat on exams and stuff, yo ass has gotta be careful, bro. You're a D student and you give yourself an A, and then the teacher's just like, huh, that's weird. Nah, you gotta give yourself-
a C or a B, so it doesn't look as suspicious. Personally, I never really had the balls to cheat in school. I mean, only in Spanish class for Google Translate. Other than that, I never really cheated. If you're feeling ballsy, risking it all, you really gotta play your cards right. You gotta make sure your teacher is not an opposition about that shit. For that, you really gotta be careful, cause...
they're gonna probably give you a zero if you get caught. Just be hella careful. I'm not gonna sit here and be like your parents, like, "Ey, ey, kiddo! You need to study every night for your biology." You don't have to if you don't want to, bro. It's your choice at the end of the day. And this, unfortunately, might be the toughest part of the video. A lot of you might be sitting there like, "Bro, what if I have to go to the bathroom? Like, do I hold my shit? Like, what do I do?" Like, I'm not trying to sit on those toilets. I'm not trying to risk, like, someone knocking on the door and be like,
"Are you shitting in there, man?" You just gotta go. Like, if you gotta go, just go. You might run into some ops in the bathroom. You really gotta stay ten toes to make sure your ass doesn't get harassed while you're taking a shit. And some kids might be down astronomical and just bring substances in the bathroom, bro.
Don't be an idiot, bro. Do not take anything from them. If it's some rando you barely even know, you don't know what that shit's laced with. And whatever you do, do not start vaping either. That shit's booty cheeks. Do not. It's really hard to quit. I made a whole ass video on that already. But yeah, just be careful in the bathrooms, man. You don't know what kind of people be lurking around. And now if you're popular enough, you will get invited to parties. You'll be popping out at people's houses and shit. And it might be just some random dude's house. And that
no matter where you go, always have an escape plan because people always be calling 12. Like it doesn't matter. There's that one Karen neighbor that always calls 12. And if you get busted with alcohol, you're screwed. And whoever provided that they're even more screwed. Even if you don't get invited to the parties. Oh, well, I mean, they're a bit overrated anyway. Everyone hypes them up. Like they're the craziest thing on earth. They're not. I mean, I never got invited to parties in high school and that probably doesn't support
Surprise anybody because i'm doing youtube. But anyways, the one college party I went to was dog shit You're at the function bro. Always hang on to your drink Do not leave your drink anywhere because people are gonna put some shit in that and plus there's like a hundred people Crammed into this house. So you don't know who is an op like that and always stay strapped You know what? I mean, you're not trying to have little timmies running around when you're in high school, bro That's just the l of the century right there now as for skipping school
You gotta have like an escape plan bro. If you try to dip for the day They got paul blart the goddamn mall cop lurking around in the hallway So you gotta be careful like which way you go out, but it depends on their build You can easily outrun that motherfucker now as for like being absent for the entire day Don't skip too many days to the point where you can't graduate but skip enough to the point where you're well rested That's what i'd say personally. You gotta find that middle ground
And sometimes the principals and teachers, they all- they're always like, up in your business. Like, if you have to miss school for some reason, they're like, "Um, excuse me, Jimmy, why haven't you been in school?" It's none of your goddamn business, that's for Jimmy to figure out, bro. Like, who are you to say, like,
Um, why haven't you been in school, bro? You're not his mom. Like, leave him the fuck alone. Now, things are going pretty good. You're in your junior year, and you unfortunately have to take a standardized test. They're all garbage. They don't actually measure intelligence. It's all bullshit. Don't sweat it. Some colleges, you can opt out of putting it on your application if you want to go to college. Don't be, like, sweating buckets over this shit, because it really isn't that. As for picking schools, it's your choice. Whatever you want to do, it's your life at the end of the day.
Now you're a senior. You're almost done with high school. You made your friends. You've done everything that you pretty much wanted to do. Or you could be like me and have a shit ton of regrets. And the whole graduation rehearsal and all that bullshit, it's a bitch to get through. But oh my god, it was so worth it when I got that diploma on stage. I felt like a fucking boss, bro, walking on that stage. Like a
could have hit a goddamn backflip if I wanted to, bro. Stay tight with your homies, all right? Make sure you got people's contact info and shit. If people that are like your opposition start to start beef with you still, they got bigger fish to fry, bro. Like seriously, why are you trying to start beef with people outside of high school? High school is over, dog. What are you doing?
That's crazy to me, bro, that people would even do that. And I should have mentioned this sometime throughout the video, but try to find something you're passionate about, like, throughout your entire high school journey, I guess. And do everything you can to try and turn that into a career. Want another video to watch? Watch this video on screen. Anyways, I'm out. Bye.
