A Coupe Of Handy Tips
Take it from us, we've seen the good and the bad of having too much fun. And, as such, we'll provide you with a couple of helpful bits of advice that you'll be able to put to good use for the best time of your life.
Safety First
Being young, wild and free is probably the greatest treasure found in life, and you often only realize it when it's almost gone. So take it from us: do what you can to make times memorable. This includes being responsible enough to ensure that you're capable of looking after your friends. These tips should help:
- Designate a meeting point: It's easy to get lost if you're in an unfamiliar place. By choosing a central point to meet (one easily found or seen) in case you and your friends get separated will make being lost or stuck in a bad situation a temporary occurrence.
- Avoid Trouble: You're out of school now, and that means you'll have to take care of yourself and those around you. Keep moderation in mind and, if trouble comes knocking, rather walk away. You'll be glad you did.
Money Matters…
Going hand-in-hand with 'Safety First', it's recommended to keep an additional small amount of money set aside for emergencies to ensure that you have enough for a telephone call (even of you have a cell phone), a taxi or even a meal. In case you didn't know, life can get really interesting at times and it's always a good idea to come prepared.
Bring Your ID!
What's in an ID? It says who you are and supplies a number of important facts about you. But, it's also your passport to some sensational events! Ensure that you have your identification card with you at all times to gain access to special Schoolies events. And in case you're wondering what they are, think in terms of dance parties, concerts, movies and of course - every school leaver's favourite - free meals!
On a Final Note...
Your parents have probably said this a thousands times, but take it from us - the biggest fun lovers on this planet! - they're right: drugs and alcohol more often than not spoil the event for everyone. Whether you're in a restaurant, bar or club, stay away from intoxicating substances. It'll diminish the possibility of regret and ensure that you have the best opportunity to have the time of your life.
