What is the craziest thing you've ever done? My teammates and I got permission from the police to toilet paper our tennis coach during the middle of the afternoon! Helping a friend put a bra and a pair of underwear on a statue of Mary outside of my high school. My friends and I got a garbageman to give us a ride on the back of his truck. I invited myself into a complete stranger's home, trying to convince them that they knew me. I organized and helped put 6 chickens in our high school. I pissed out of my homeroom window with everyone watching. Senior prank-Hoisting a deer up the flagpole. I can't answer because all my attempts to hide my act from the FBI would be rendered futile. Let my professor sneak me into the Kremlin by telling the guys with the machine guns I was a Russian student (I don't speak Russian). Peed on the mayors parking space in a fit of rage after a city council meeting with an outcome I didn't care for. I called in a bomb threat to my high school from the pay phone outside the office. Going to Wooster. In 7th grade my science class was dissecting frogs. I was dared to eat the frog's foot. I said no . The boys said it was because I was a girl. I said, "Cut it off!" I ate the entire foot which had a wonderful taste. Whi le I was a t a camp one summer at Ohio State, I put a banana in a microwave in a dorm room and left. While I was gone, the banana started smoking and set off the smoke alarms, calling the fire department at 11 :30 at night. Played strip-pididle with 3 of my guy friends on the way home from a concert. Applied to one college. Traveling from the Seattle area to Wooster in an Izusu Trooper Il with a younger sibling & both parents. Once in a high-rise hotel in North Carolina, I spit over our balcony railing directly into the cup of the man who was holding his cup out over the edge of his balcony below us. I transferred to an all-girls catholic high school by choice. While in high school a group of friends and I wou ld leave Spam on our favorite teacher's doorstep once a month. We would carve the Spam into an interesting formation like a heart for Valentine's Day or a birthday cake for her birthday. Five people in togas, including me, went into someone's bedroom while he was sleeping, picked up the mattress he was on, and carried it outside. 48

Words of Wisdom from the Class of 2000 "It's better to regret something you did, then something you didn't do ." -Red Hot Chili Peppers "You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. Now. " -Joan Baez "Shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel." -James Taylor "Don't compromise yourself, you're all you've got. " -Janis Joplin Look both ways before you cross the street, up then down. Don't panic-just make sure you know where your towel is and everything will be fine. Dreaming permits each and every one of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives. Calories you eat with friends don't count. The trouble with following the herd is stepping in what is left behind. "Small is the number of them that see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts. " -Albert Einstein "If 'pro' is the opposite of 'con,' what is the opposite of 'progress'?" -Paul Harvey Take time to daydream, try new things, believe in yourself, never give up , keep smiling, speak up, listen to others, don't take yourself too seriously, and if one big tomato with fangs starts walking toward you, start running the other way. Never let a perfect stranger kiss your hand unless he's perfect. Problems are only solutions with thorns in them. Have as much fun in the next four years as possible. Vote Democratic. Everything happens for a reason. ".. .let it be." -The Beatles On the last day of your life, don't forget to die. It is best to have a few good friends rather than a group of friends who call themselves your friend. Being an independent person also means accepting the humility to believe you need other people in your life to help you along the way. No one can do life alone. Interdependence is more powerful than independence. A loser says "it might be possible, but it is too difficult. " A winner says "it might be difficult, but it is possible. " "Even a mosquito doesn't get a slap on the back until it starts to work" -Unknown Don't eat yellow snow! If the world couldn't laugh, we all would die. "No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of another. " -Charles Dickens 51
