97 Things to Do Before You Finish High School

  • Interest Level: Grade 8 - Grade 12
  • Reading Level: Grade 8

Being in high school is about a lot more than going to high school.

It’s about discovering new places, new hobbies, and new people—and opening your eyes to the world. This book is about the stuff they don’t teach you in high school, like how to host a film festival, plan your first road trip, make a podcast, or write a manifesto. Want to make a time capsule? Spend a day in silence? Learn how to make beats like a DJ? Or shut down your house party before the police do?

Whatever your creative, social, or academic inclinations, you’ll find 97 ways on these pages to amuse, educate, and interest yourself, and your friends. Because your life doesn’t stop at 3pm each day—it just gets started.

“Make your high school experience the best possible with this brilliant book.” –Justine Magazine
