18. Be cool to the younger kids. Reputations are built over a lifetime.
19. Keep your room clean. One day you'll have roommates.
20. Make curfew. Sneak out later to meet her. Don't make a habit of it. You'll miss the danger.
21. Believe it or not, a museum is a great place to beat a hangover. It's cool, quiet, and full of water fountains.
22. If you get yourself arrested, call me. You get one free pass.
23. When it comes to shoveling snow, the earlier you start, the easier the job.
24. Order the local specialty.
25. Drive across the country. Don't rush.
26. There's nothing wrong with musical theater. (Everything in moderation.)
27. Don't boo. Even the ref is somebody's son.
28. When singing karaoke, choose a song within your range.
29. Never post a picture online you wouldn't feel comfortable showing your mother, your boss, and the dean of admissions.
30. Read before bed every night. A book every two weeks is a good goal.
31. Don't throw sand or, when you're older, mud.
32. Choose a window seat and enjoy the view.
33. There is never an excuse for stealing someone's cab.
34. Take the stairs.
35. When handling a frog, be gentle.
