Westridge is home to plenty of things that Hugh Jass and Ben Dover don’t approve of. On this edition of the column, we present our unwarranted advice that we think some of you really need to hear. Stay tuned for our Column throughout the year, where we’ll dive into all the things that make Westridge just so fun.

The Advice of Hugh and Ben:
· If you have “bad tiger dreams,” keep that in your subconscious
· If you want to wear a tail to school, don’t.
· Hygiene is NOT an option. #stopthestench.
· Grades don’t make good conversation! Try talking about anything else.
· Throw the dirty potato Uggs away, they’re tired.
· Just cause you yell in class doesn’t make you funny. No one likes clowns.
· Dear English office, AI is not your opp. ChatGPT warriors, rise up.
· Writing center, get helpful.
· If you’re still using a roller backpack, they’ve been out since 3rd grade. Get a backpack for your back.
· If you’re not on social media, you’re not better than anyone.
· The seniors this year fell off. Seniors, get interesting.
· Bring back fearing upperclassman. #bullyfreshman
· Underclassmen, learn to respect your elders.
· If you want highlights for the summer, you will regret it.
· To all teachers, allow more extensions.
· Live your life, party, and have fun! Westridge’s reputation seriously depends on it.
· Participate in spirit days! Being boring is embarrassing.
· It’s cuffing season! Lock in and drop that situationship.
· If you’re doing a sport just for P.E. credit, at least act interested. Sucking isn’t cool.
· Freshman, be quieter (especially in the commons).
If you have your own advice, we want to hear it! Send it to our email [email protected] and we’ll think about publishing it.
