It is time to put away our childish things and join the league of young adults. Many freshmen wanted to blend in with the high school crowd and broke many uncool habits before the first day of school. I wanted to stop impressing my friends by clown- ing around in the classroom. I thought that was immature for a guy in high school, commented Chris Ussery. Some freshmen stated that their thoughts of entering high school were not the same as junior high. Breaking an immature habit can be pretty easy, but breaking a habit concerning mon- ey can be very difficult. 'SI love to spend money on worthless items I don't even need, said Michelle Gon- zales. Some matured to the point that making fun of a friend for a bad habit or even constantly bugging a friend about one change to the point of either accepting the person as he was or nev- er bringing up the subject agaih so a not to embarrass him. 'iMy friend nev- er stops rapping. I keep telling him he doesn't know how, but he continues it, so I've leanrd to live with it,i' said Todd Ellis. i Habits are sometimes goo and sometimes bad, but the hardest nes to get rid of are the bad ones.

Taking away privi- lieges usually hit the wrong-doers right where it hurt the most, but as in most cases the one puinished found loopholes to the system. Most freshmen tried to turn a bad situation into good. Some turned to television to occupy themselves. Others would rather be in their rooms listening to the radio to keep themselves busy. Ifi canit be on the phone I'd rather turn on the radio in my room. said Todd Ellis. A variety of freshmen turned to a less popular suggestion. Walking around my neighbor- hood helps me straighten out my thoughtsf, stated Sandra Ga- lindo. Other students thought of a better idea. I like waiting for my parents to leave the house so that I can pick up the phone and call my friends! exclaimed Da- vette Esparza.
