"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Ok, so I'm a super senior in HS and am graduating but I dont know if I should walk across that stage..I feel like its something that I should have done last year. What do you guys think?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

By super senior, I'm guessing you mean you repeated.

Well I say this, unless you go across that stage you will never know that feeling of "I graduated".

From my experience, aniexty should be met with assertiveness. So if you feel weird, go for it. It seems you are thinking more of
"What will people say or think". Just don't care. Remember your graduation is about you. Go for it.

Love,

yeah you're right...I think my overall problem is that my normal routine of getting wasted and drinking gallons of alcohol won't be a possiblity...oooh I can already feel my hand shakin!

Nah,,I'm just a little nervous cuz of what ppl will say.. Most will be excited about it but what about my peers from my real class, they're gonna be like "WHAT THE F*CK!" nevertheless I was the last standing super senior out of like 35 or more kids who got held back..I blame it on Bush and his Don't leave a Child a Dime act.

Well Dimebag, it's better late than never! What's done is done you can't change that; I say rejoice over the fact that you'll be graduating for sure this time! Don't worry about what others say...since their criticisms/judgments wont determine whether you walk the stage or not.

As for Bush, everyone hates him, but for you to get wasted/drunk and party-hardy then jeopardize your first chance of graduating and then blaming it on Bush sounds like an excuse man. Even though you lost a year, big deal! You can finally move on into the bigger world now! I say be happy about that
