Overview
Being in high school is about a lot more than going to high school. It's about discovering new places, hobbies, and people—and opening your eyes to the world. This book teaches the stuff teens won’t learn in high school, like how to host a film festival, plan a first road trip, or write a manifesto. Want to spend a day in silence? Learn how to make beats like a DJ? Or shut down a house party before the police do? Whatever your creative, social, or academic inclinations, these pages will offer you 99 ways to amuse, educate, and interest yourself and your friends. Because your life doesn’t stop at 3 p.m. each day—it just gets started. Newly revised, this edition reimagines the bestseller with updated text and brand new ""side quests"" to satisfy adventurous young minds who can't wait for the end-of-the-day bell to ring.
