1000 Things you learned from High School
Looking back on high school, there are many things of the utmost importance which are learned (or sorta-kinda-understood after failing epically many times in a row). Of course, all of that silly academic knowledge is not nearly as important as the basic facts of high school.....so I'll start the 1000 list with:

1) The prime time to write an essay is around 3:00 - 3:30 AM of the same day it is due.

2) The purpose of a glass beaker in a science lab is to drop it multiple times on the floor.

3) Eating pizza and watching action movies is much more important than studying for an exam.

If a girl is drunk she will either:

a) End up crying
b) Try to make out with you
c) Vomit on you while attempting to do b.

1) Eye goggles are necessary for any experiment, no matter how safe it is
2) Vending machines are serious business
3) It's always a good idea to tell someone their essay is good and that there are no mistakes no matter how crappy it is when they ask you to edit (avoids having to help them rewrite it)
4) Cheaters always prosper

Administration doesn't find grad pranks involved cow poop very funny. Same goes for releasing live animals in the caf.

Never say anything about anyone - good or bad. Because it will get back to you in a bad way. Even if you said nice things.

If you are up at 5-6 in the morning and you probably will, then opt for the couple hours of sleep instead of staying up the entire time >.<

Edit: Make that ALWAYS opt for napping/sleeping if you can.

Having a spare in a timeslot that gives you an extended lunch or allows you to leave early is bloody awesome.

1) Joining school clubs can get you out of class
2) Getting on a teachers good side can get you free marks
3) Almost anything mandatory can be avoided someway somehow

a.Either they dont make you do anything; thats why you like them
b. They act nice, meanwhile they're totally killing your mark
c. Based your mark on who you were
2) You would do anything to get out of class; join anything you have to

1) You never had to study to get good marks
2) You were 'smarter' than the other kids
3) University must be the time to eventually try

1) If ever you were in history class, talk politics to get real good marks
2) If you can't stuff your phone into your bra (you knew fully well of the health implications), use your uniform sweaters since they are huge and bulky.
3) You must learn to love coffee, for it is your way to look alive.
