So, I have an idea for a book. It's not so much a book as a list of guidelines for living in high school. I've been kinda tossing the idea around in my head for a while, and I think it was brought into a more realistic light by the movie Zombieland (which has NOTHING to do with high school at all) because the protagonist constantly remembers rules he thought up to survive in the United States of Zombieland.
So it would be a list of some things I learned in high school to be passed onto the next generation of students, possibly freshmen that could use advice (which would be pretty much all of them, haha) or even sophomores or juniors that could still take those pearls of wisdom to heart. I don't know everything about high school; in fact, I'm sure I'm very ignorant.
But! My idea is that the book doesn't end where I leave off. It's a continuous project, with things being added by the owner of the book out of experiences from their lives. The problem I see happening is that too many guidelines can be added, making the behavior pattern described in the book too specific and possibly changing the reader into being something they're not because of a situation that went sour for one person but may not always be a bad thing for another.
It's still an idea, but I'm hoping to start writing things so anything I've learned can be handed down to the next generation so they can learn from mistakes and successes I've witnessed firsthand. Wish me luck...
