Hear your own voice over the<br \/>\nPA system:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s because you\u2019re a<br \/>\nmember of the fabulous hot air staff or because you just begged your way into<br \/>\nmaking an announcement, nothing beats the feeling of hearing yourself<br \/>\nbroadcasted through the halls of NTCI. Sadly, only Laura has completed this<br \/>\nitem on our bucket list.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">2. Hunt someone down in Gotcha<br \/>\nand make a new Facebook friend:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For those of you who have never signed up for Gotcha because the thought of being stalked, even just within the halls of NT, really freaks you out, you are all missing out (but if it\u2019s at all comforting, Laura can relate to you!). By the end of your four<br \/>\nyears at NT, we challenge you all to hunt down someone you don\u2019t know in<br \/>\nGotcha. Creepy though you may feel, you just might gain a new Facebook friend<br \/>\nout of it.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">3. Be in at least one NT fashion<br \/>\nshow, and come and watch the rest:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a model or<br \/>\ndesigner, a member of aesthetics, accessories, or set design, an exec, or even<br \/>\na director for fashion show, everyone should experience the final fashion show<br \/>\nwalk-out at least once in their NT careers. When the night of the show finally<br \/>\narrives and everyone\u2019s hard work is shown off to a large audience, the final<br \/>\nwalk-out is when everyone shares that feeling of a job well done. If you can\u2019t<br \/>\nbe a part of that feeling, be one of the members of the audience giving it!<br \/>\nFashion shows at NT are so much fun.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">4. Get your name in Graffiti- preferably because you actually wrote something:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Graffiti is a wonderful thing. What<br \/>\nbetter way is there to share your opinion on an issue with the entire<br \/>\nschool that in Graffiti? Even if you don\u2019t consider yourself a writer, you<br \/>\nhave to admit that it\u2019s a rewarding feeling seeing your name in print, and<br \/>\nyou\u2019ll be able to boast that you\u2019ve written for the number one high school<br \/>\nnewspaper in Ontario (not that we\u2019re bragging or anything). So write for<br \/>\nGraffiti \u2013 it\u2019s a win-win situation!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">5. upport the Caf- buy breakfast sandwiches:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Although Laura\u2019s more of a pancake<br \/>\nperson, every morning I find myself envious of other people\u2019s breakfast<br \/>\nsandwiches from the cafeteria. Georgia always finds a way to make them<br \/>\nlook so deliciously greasy that on more than one occasion I have found<br \/>\nmyself drooling throughout homeroom at the thought of them. Support our<br \/>\nschool caf &#8211; don\u2019t do a Timmy\u2019s run, buy a breakfast sandwich.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">6. Be on Mr.Zohar\u2019s \u201cbest dressed\u201d list at Prom:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Many NT girls (the two of us<br \/>\nincluded) have been looking forward to prom for months. Endless amounts of time have gone into the planning process: searching for the perfect hair,<br \/>\nmakeup dress, shoes, date&#8230; While you boys may think us girls are crazy<br \/>\nand that no one actually cares, you couldn\u2019t be more wrong. There is one<br \/>\nperson ready to judge our prom look: Mr. Zohar! Every year he scours out a<br \/>\ngirl to add to his prom best-dressed list. Last year it was Veronica<br \/>\nBadali, and this year we hope for it to be one of us!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">7. Get your name on the<br \/>\nNo-More-Photos Yearbook list:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Yearbook staff creates a<br \/>\nlist every year of students who have been featured so many times in the<br \/>\nYearbook that once their name is put on the no-more-photos list, they are from<br \/>\nthen on forbidden from being in any more Yearbook photos. Being added to this<br \/>\nlist is not only a great accomplishment because it means you\u2019re enthusiastic<br \/>\nabout NT, but it is also a huge compliment because it means you are so<br \/>\nphotogenic that the Yearbook staff can\u2019t stop admiring your face!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">8. Go to the Grade Twelve Art<br \/>\nShowcase and buy a piece of art:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Other that Laura\u2019s one measly<br \/>\nyear of grade nine art (Lily took the drama route), neither of us have ever had<br \/>\nmuch to do with NT\u2019s art department. It wasn\u2019t until one of us accidentally<br \/>\nstumbled into the grade 12\u2019s art showcase that we really got to see the work of<br \/>\nour peers. It is incredible. Now we sincerely regret missing out on all the<br \/>\nprevious showcases. Look out for NT art &#8211; and don\u2019t forget to buy your<br \/>\nfavourite pieces.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">9. Though technically it isn\u2019t a<br \/>\npart of NT&#8230; Have the Starbucks Workers know your name:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Although Lily wishes she could<br \/>\nreach this level, she is no where near achieving \u2018Extreme Starbucks Customer\u2019<br \/>\nstatus. Myself, Mr. McNaughton, and Louise Castonguay are the only three true<br \/>\nStarbucks people I know of at this school. Why is this? Because the baristas actually<br \/>\nknow our names. Good luck at your next school Lils, at least you can call<br \/>\nyourself a gold rewards member.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">10. Paint your body fully red for<br \/>\nRed and Grey Day:<\/span><br \/>\nThough neither of us have ever done it, now that our Red and Grey Days are<br \/>\nover, we kind of wish that we had. Pulling an Alec Ray Sherman and painting<br \/>\nyour entire body red seems like the number one way to show off school spirit!<br \/>\nWho knows, maybe next year, our school colours will be more flattering than<br \/>\ntomato-red.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lily Ljubicic and Laura Murphy &nbsp; 1.
