10 Things I've Learned at Darlington: Katie

I've learned...

1. To become friends with as many people as I could! I didn’t realize this until my junior year, and I decided to branch out and really take advantage of the cool people at Darlington. Needless to say, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. 
2. To study, study, study—grades are important and Darlington offers lots of AP classes.
3. Not to obsess over grades. Have fun and enjoy high school! No one wants gray hair at age 18. 
4. That I don’t need to be super fast and competitive to join a sport. I am by no means a fast runner, but joining the Cross Country team was a great decision.
5. That assembly and chapel are actually interesting if I pay attention.
6. Eating too many chocolate chip cookies before a speed workout will not end up well.
7. How to make a boat out of cardboard…and that I’m bad at physics because my boat sank.
8. That making a robot is harder than it looks. #darbots
9. I can make 15 paper flowers in under 30 minutes at Fall for the Arts. 
10. The back of the library is the best place to take a nap.
