If you died and got to relive that day 7 times, just like Sam did, what would you do? Would you confess things? Do wild things? Say goodbye to everyone you loved?

I think I would have confided in someone, as well. The situation would have been too weird for me to just keep it all bottled inside.
I also would tell those closest to me, and then I would try to spend as much time with the people I love, visit some places, pray, and probably eat a lot of really great (and greasy) food.
I probably would stay awayyyy from the car and the party-I mean hellooo if I see myself die over and over again in the same place then by the third day I would stick to staying home and taking a bus to school lol. I would definitely try to do as much of the things that I wanted to do before my time was up. I would dump Rob and talked to Kent maybe even confided in him, its not like they could put me in a hospital since the next day I would be back to square one. And I would be extremely depressed at the beginning, I would try to write everyone a good-bye letter everyday just in case I didnt get the chance to tell them I loved them or even leave something especially to Izzy since it would be the hardest on her .

She admires Sam so much.
I agree about the telling someone. At least one of those days I would've tried. I think one day I would freak out and not leave the house EVER. Then I would do crazy things..... I think that is just an automatic response. How much can one person get away with. Sometimes I think of my last day on the planet and I can say without a doubt I would want to spend it with family.
Tell someone, for sure! :D Then I would just enjoy every single day to the max, eat like there was no tomorrow, enjoy everything (even the simplest things), spend time with the people I love, and just do crazy things that I'd never do. :) By the end I would say goodbye to everyone I love, and be happy that I was able to spend my last 7 days wonderfully!
Of course, Sam never knew each day whether it would be truly her last. Each day she expected she might die and that might be it.
I am surprised there were no days there where she didn't just stay up all night. When I was her age I did it all the time. Stay up 36 hours straight. I probably would've done it because I was afraid to go to sleep.

I thought at least she should've told someone and nobody believed her. It would have been a lot more believable.
