Good Advice

Edited from material handed out at freshman orientation at the University of Minnesota.
• Never give up because life gets harder as you get older. After preschool the road of life keeps getting bumpier and bumpier and bumpier - Angela, age 11
• Take risks. I mean, if you like this person and you don't know if they like you, ask them out and see what happens. I liked this girl and I asked her out. She said no and she hates me now, but I took that risk - Bruce, age 13
• A realist is more correct about things in life than an optimist. But the optimist seems to have more friends and much more fun. - Megan, age 14
• Don't think life is easy, because when you get older it is hard work. I used to think life was easy, now I have to do the dishes every other day. - Nick, age 9
•Never blow in a cat's ear because if you do, usually after three or four times, they will bite your lips! And they don't let go for at least a minute. - Lisa, age 9.
