This is the AnimePhilosophy List of things I, and others, wished we'd had known sooner. The original list is from CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE TEENAGE SOUL 2. I copied it, added my own, put some of my friends comments on it, and here it is. Some are serious, others light hearted, and some just funny, but you'll learn something from all of them. If you wish to contribute to the list, please E-mail me at soultaker21x@yahoo.com ^_^


2 new things added, they're after the first one.

+ God doesn't make junk!!!
+ If you're snowboarding, make sure to pay attention to what's ahead of you. You could crash into a tree. . . hehe.
+ If your friend talks about suicide, pay attention to him/her. He/She may be serious, and you may have to stop him/her from doing it.
+ Don't let your life wait for other people.
+ If it hurts, DON'T DO IT AGAIN!
+ That which does not kill you will ultimately make you stronger.
+ Ten years from now, most of what we freak out about now won't matter.
+ Never, ever, EVER let a member of the opposite sex make you compromise your standards.
+ If you start to like a girl, her roommate will immediately start liking you.
+ Your parents aren't around forever, treasure them while you still can.
+ Dreaming and doing go hand-in-hand.
+ Don't juggle knives, unless your really, REALLY good at it.
+ Hair is flammable. VERY FLAMMABLE.
+ You can't light fireworks in your basement and expect not to be caught.
+ If you can laugh at yourself, you're doing alright. If you allow others to laugh at you, you're doing great!
+ You never know when your making a memory. . .
+ Someday, you'll look back on this and it'll all seem funny.
+ Kissing is the most fun thing to do. Dancing is the second
+ If your intuition is telling you not to do something, then DON'T. Your intuition is not stupid.
+ Instead of waiting for your life to get better, do something about it.
+ Don't take the SAT twice if you had a good score in the first place.
+ Never trust a friend with a pair of scissors against your hair.
+ Dyeing your hair strawberry blond, when it's already strawberry blond, makes it pink.
+ Cereal is a vital, staple food for all college students. Who cares if your eating it at 7:30 p.m.?

+ Your mother WILL find out if you dye your hair purple.

+ Zits always pop up when you can't afford them to.
+ While driving a car through a gate, ALWAYS make sure the gate is open. Consequences can be fatal to your car.
+ Don't run around the pool in your Sunday clothes. You tend to fall in.
+ When in doubt, duck. When certain, don't bother, 'cause it's already too late.
+ NEVER pierce your belly button in the dark.
+ Just because someone flirts with you, it doesn't mean their interested.
+ If your calculus teacher tells you to quit talking after a test or he'll give you a zero, then stop. He means it, REALLY.
+ Sometimes relying on smart people can be a stupid decision.
+ Being nice to people will get you far.
