Live every day like it's your last...[/URL][/i][/b]
September has arrived and school has started! Which means a ton of classwork and then butt-load of homework when you get out at 2:50. Tests, quizzes, some pop and some not, don't fret or you'll make yourself even more nervous! You studied, right? The teachers you love, the teachers you love to hate, and the crazy cafeteria ladies who never make you forget that time you landed face first into your own tray of macaroni and potato salad. You're re-united with your old friends, you have a chance to make some new ones, and then you're face-to-face with your third-grade nemesis who always stole your the smelly markers from you while you're strolling down the hall, trying to figure out where Mr. Smith's Chemistry class is. Cliques get bigger and exes get bitter, but you're too pre-occupied with the cute guy two rows over and three seats up to even notice.
Make every second count
Lost time can't be reclaimed
Live every day like it's your last
And regret will have no meaning
Leave mistakes in the past
We live to learn and overcome
Yesterday has come and gone
Look ahead and embrace tomorrow[/b][/color]
It's time for you to brush your teeth and wash your face, plug your alarm clock into the wall for the first time in three months, hit the sack early and then wake up even earlier so you can catch the bus, hitch a ride, or drive yourself to school in the morning. You've already got your outfit laid out, have you? Wear the skinny jeans, they make you're butt look good. Oh! But don't wear that purple-polka dotted peasant top, you'll look like a scene from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. You've got people to impress this year, remember? You were going to wear it? Oh, well...I guess it's cool if you're planning your own funeral. Okay, okay...Calm down. Take a breath! You don't have to look perfect, nobody's perfect. Just remember to be yourself; you'll knock 'em dead if you be yourself. And if not, then you don't want to be with those people, anyway. Why hang out with people who don't even like you for who you are? Don't ever change for anyone, unless you have good reason, otherwise you're just a conformist, a sell-out, a poser even.
Everyday we rise and fall
Sometimes we lose our way
We take a chance with every breath
How can we win if there's nothing to lose
Leave mistakes in the past
We live to learn and overcome
Yesterday has come and gone
Look ahead and embrace tomorrow[/b][/color]
Be prepared with some pencils and extra paper. Have a scientific calculator, a protractor or a ruler handy for trig! Make sure you grabbed your dictionary so you don't mispell the easy words again and look like a fool in front of your eleventh grade English class like you did last year. That's probably why you're there again. Don't forget your P.E. uniform or Mr. Jensen's gonna mark you down for a non-suit. Are you positive you brought your lunch? You can drive? Oh good! You'll be able to sneak off campus for real food, then. And if you don't, well...you'll be subjected to whatever the lunch ladies have concocted in their secret lab--we mean cafeteria today. Then again, it's only the first day. Wipe your palms free of sweat, don't shuffle when you stand, walk with confidence, you're head held high, and you'll be sure to make band!
Everyday we rise and fall
Sometimes we look away
Yesterday has come and gone
Look ahead and embrace tomorrow
Everyday we rise and fall
Sometimes we look away
Yesterday has come and gone
Look ahead and embrace tomorrow[/b][/color]
Sure, high school sounds like a whole lot to take in, it sounds like a cruel and unusual punishment, but really...the four years you spend there are going to be the best four years of your life. Don't worry about everything little detail, don't plan your entire tomorrow out when today hasn't even ended, and don't buckle under the pressures of society. Be who you are, live like you want, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. This is your life. You've got one foot in the door, the other soon to follow, and sometimes you have to close your eyes, take a breath, and just jump into the unknown. Take chances, make risks, and don't sell yourself short.[/center]

Welcome to Surf City, U.S.A., better known as Huntington Beach - where the weather's always perfect, the surf is always best, the sun is shining and the waves are rolling; the sand is softer here than anywhere else! The smell of suntan lotion hangs in the air and ska music floats inside from the street corners. It always looks and feels and smells like summer here, but the students of Huntington Beach High School know better. Though they attend one of the - dare we say - coolest schools in the state of California, it's still a school and that doesn't change the fact that they'll have to get up each and every morning and spend five to six hours there doing whatever ungodly amount of work their teachers' see fit. It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it, and it'll lead to a window of opportunities for better jobs when they enter the real world. For now, though, as much as they'd like to think themselves as grown-ups and adults, they're still kids living in their own worlds where money, friends, crushes, and clothes matter most.
There comes a time for everyone
To fall back or stand your ground
Fight or flight - Do or die
You never fail if you try
Everyday we rise and fall
Sometimes we lose our way
Never bend to another's will
Courage is all we need
