*Watch the sun rise while camping on the road trip with my friends
*Build a bonfire while camping on the road trip with my friends

Most high schooler's probably won't think these thing's are important but sooner or later they may become important in life. I liked the book because it gave tip's on how to the activity such as dine...more

I thought this book was really fun and I can see how many high school students would really enjoy it. It is simply a list of things you should do before graduating high school.

My rating: 3 out of 5
As a future high school teacher I thought that this book would be worth a look. I wanted to arm myself with suggestions and ideas of fun, practical and ambitious things my future students could do. Jenkins' and Stalder's list covers a wide range of suggestions for students to follow ranging from, Redo Your Bedroom (#1), Sing Karaoke (#21), and Bury a Time Capsule (#97). Along the way they offer tips on how to get started and tidbits of information in the "Did You Know?" sect...more

I bought this to see if there were some good tips for Daniel as he moves toward the teen years. Especially liked the idea of his having a pen pal. Good to help in writing skills and broaden his horizons.
It had some interesting ideas...
This book was really lame. Most of their suggestions were completely bogus and were things I would never do or I had already done in middle school. I couldn't even finish reading it. I just browsed to see if there would be any cool suggestions but there weren't any. Totally skip reading this book, I wouldn't recommend.

Short to the point and easy to read. loved suggestions such as: go skinny dipping and get a pen pal
I could see how this would be a fun book for teens to thumb through. I remember liking this kind of thing when I was in high school. It's ok. Eh.
