Stock up your car or backpack with snacks so A) you don’t go hungry, and B) you don’t have to spend money at The Cove. Get to school early or you won’t find a parking spot. When school is out it will take you forever to leave. Join a sport with your best friend(s), it doesn’t matter if you’re great at it, just make memories together.
