Woman Rediscovers Her List Of 'Do's And Don't's For 5th Grade'—And It's An Instant Classic

If you were to go through your old childhood room, what treasures do you think you would find?

One Twitter user found her very detailed "Do's And Don'ts For 5th Grade" list tucked away and shared it for all of posterity on Twitter.


It is simply amazing.

The list contains some sound advice. For example, #1 on the list: "Do not try out for anything you don't want to do, even though your friends want you to."

And some really great advice for people who need a wardrobe upgrade, #5: "Improve your wardrobe. Wear more sparkles & glitter. More attitude shirts."






Though Jamie Loftus, the user who wrote the note, did write a bit of a problematic sentence about substitute teachers when she suggested to not "give them the time of day."

Ironically, Loftus wrote that she grew up to be a substitute teacher.






Loftus inspired a few other people to share the lists that they created for themselves before the start of the school year:






For those of us lucky enough to be starting school years in the fall, let's read over this note and decide truly what advice we can still take. More glitter is always great. So is more attitude.

And, of course, don't be afraid to talk to boys. Speak up!

Trump Ripped After Posting Disturbing Parody Music Video About His Attack On Iran

President Donald Trump is facing harsh criticism after he shared a music video featuring the 1980 song "Bomb Iran"—a parody of The Regents song "Barbara Ann" that is best known for being covered by the Beach Boys—amid a ceasefire between Israel and Iran that could further inflame tensions in the Middle East.

The controversial parody song by Vince Vance & the Valiants plays over footage of B-2 stealth bombers, the same aircraft used to drop 14 GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs on Iranian nuclear facilities, including the Fordow enrichment plant, Natanz complex, and Isfahan site.

President Donald Trump lashed out at Zohran Mamdani after the 33-year-old democratic socialist handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday—only to be called out for projecting his own feelings of inadequacy onto the star candidate.
