Brian completes a survey.

I got a survey from my high school. It was a web based survey basically about my high school experience and what parts of it I use today. I anwsered everything truthfully until I got to the last three open ended questions. I couldn't help myself.

What would you have liked to learn in high school that you weren't taught?
2nd order differential equations, Critiques of gilded age post-romanticism art, Basic Rifle Marksmanship, Benford's law, The teachings of Jesus, Algebra, The fallacy of time travel in the Back to the Future series

What is the single best piece of advice you could give to a freshman beginning high school?
High school is 65% common sense, 10% hard work, 15% tomfoolery and 10% experimental drinking and sexual encounters.

Please describe a significant event in high school that made an impact on your life.
Once in 9th grade in order to get out of running during gym I decided to take a poo but there was no toilet paper and the toilet overflowed, needless to say it was miserable. Then one more time junior year, before a pep assembly I couldn't poo fast enough and instead of singing Hail to the Black and Gold, I spend the entire time making a mess in the toilet. It was possibly the foulest thing that has ever occurred. Since then I have been afraid to void my bowels in public. It is a determent to my professional career and physical well being.

I wonder if they are going to discount my entire survey. To be truthful my second answer is actually not the far off. But 10% hard work is pretty generous. That is unless your an idiot.
