Alex | Broyles | Don’t be afraid to talk to the counselors if your schedule for a semester will be brutal, if you can spread out your classes so you don’t end up taking 3-4 honors or even AP classes in a single semester, try, I know a few people who are way too stressed out cramming all that work each and every day. |

Ryann | Redinger | My biggest piece of advice to underclassmen is to be kind to everyone. You never know what people are going through in their lives. A smile in the hallway may just brighten someone’s day even though it’s just a small gesture. |

Make new friends, join clubs, and do things that benefit YOU. And most of all, don’t compare yourself to others, just do you. |
Bailey | Birkholz | My advice for underclassmen is to never give up on yourself and find your true friends. High school is such a stressful and intense part of your life and it’s super important to stay happy and positive through it. Try to find people who share the same morals and goals as you and just stick with them. High school will seem so much easier and bearable with the right people by your side. Get involved and just have fun. |

Evelyn | Garcia | It’s okay to be selfish sometimes. Throughout high school I learned that you have to put yourself and your needs first. Sometimes a lot of us can be stuck in toxic relationships and we don’t have the courage to get out of them because we worry that we’ll hurt other people’s feelings. Sometimes our “friends” can prohibit us from excelling and hold us back instead. I’m not saying go out and be rude to people. I’m saying do what is best for you because you don’t want to get stuck in relationships that impede on your dreams. |
