Alex: I would practice in boomer mode and spend time on things you’re bad at in one hour increments. Lastly, just watch some YouTube videos.

Q: Advice on ending the rest of the year strong?

Alex: Most teachers will assign a lot of work at the end of year. Make sure you have assignments organized and create a list of assignments you wanna mainly focus on.

Q: Why do you look like Sheen?

Alex: Thank Jon Askew for that comparison, he said that in 8th grade and it’s never gone away. As for why I look like him? Gonna have to ask the man upstairs.

Q: What’s next?

Alex: What happens next? Story to be continued.

Q: Do you think it’s okay that Ronald McDonald ran over my best friend and I never attended her funeral?

Alex: Honestly, that’s pretty bad but what’s your friend gonna say about it? Just make sure they don’t come back to haunt you and cleanse your house.

Q: How to be successful in the future?

Alex: Take school and college seriously and find a job that you really enjoy. You wanna be able to go to work every day, not have to go to work every day.

Q: I’m still not sure what colleges I want to go to? Any way you can help me narrow my options down?

Alex: Don’t go to the college that all your friends want to go to. Focus on yourself and your goals. Do lots of research on your major and figure out which college provides the best classes for your major and what would overall just be a good fit for you.
