Find what you really like to do and running with it. I’ve been able to explore what I really love throughout my four years here at North Allegheny, but more importantly I’ve been able to explore what I don’t love. I have had clubs in the past that I thought would be my favorite thing but ended up being clubs that I quit because I didn’t like them. Don’t be afraid of something new — be afraid of being stuck doing something you hate. If you like art, find ways to get involved in art. If you like science, join some clubs about science. It’s really not that complicated. And don’t worry how it will look on a college application, because life is so much more than college applications. However, my biggest piece of advice is to talk to people. And maybe it’s awkward because you don’t know them, but it’s only awkward if you make it awkward. There are 700 kids in my graduating class, and I don’t think I know even half of them. Don’t take everything so seriously, because you want to remember your years here at North Allegheny as fondly as I do.
