Hot: “One of the hots is to make friends and memories as long as possible before you graduate because you will eventually miss everyone when you graduate.”

Not: “Nots [are to] stay out of trouble so you can really enjoy high school, hang out with people that bring the best out of you — no messy drama — [and] focus on the right things so you can succeed.”

Celeste Cruz

Hot: “Talking to people who you used to be friends with [in middle school or elementary] and you’re just [friends again], and then it’s like the end of the year so everyone just talks to each other and hangs out with each other.”

Not: “Drop the beef.”

Mahin Hasani

Hot: “Stop doing things that you don’t want to do. Like, don’t do things just ‘cause you think that you’re gonna be missing out or that you do because of peer pressure.”

Not: “Stop being nonchalant ‘cause it’s not cool. You’re putting down your own feelings.” “Leave ALEX LE out of 2025.”

Joshua Robinson

Hot: “Being able to relax on my school work [so] you can do more senior activities. Start preparing to be more independent. Senior year, a lot of things are on your hands. My parents are that way to put [more responsibility] in my hands [to challenge me], my teachers are that way [as well, so]work is self paced. 

Not: “Being independent, because I have to be more responsible … people aren’t reminding me of many things, like certain classes, it’s like the work will just creep up on you.”

Kobe Bryant 

Hot: “Even though you should be [at school], you get a lot of days you get to miss. It’s just fun being around your peers, everybody [is] getting ready to graduate, everybody is having fun, it is just hanging out with each other.”

Not: “[Don’t miss] school a lot, you should get the class. Being a senior, you are ready to graduate, so you don’t really want to do the work. I feel like it’s important that you’re gonna get the work done on the front end, that way towards the end of the year, you’re really good.”
