Daniel Cheon, 10 – One item needed to survive at BV | Energy drink

“I get tired, and all my friends get tired — energy drinks are the best thing ever. Energy drinks allow you to power through the long classes. They also allow you to perform better in sports, too. If you are a busy person who cannot get enough sleep, it’s the only solution.

One Tip to Survive at BV | “You need to stay alert just like in the wild. Find priorities, whether they are focusing on lectures, finishing homework, or studying for a test.”

AJ Vasa, 11 – One item needed to survive at BV | Toilet paper

“I was in the bathroom and I noticed there was no toilet paper. I waited for somebody to come and I [asked for] some toilet paper, and the other stall does not have toilet paper. So go get a janitor, and it’s been half an hour without toilet paper.”

One Tip to Survive at BV | “Plan your bathroom breaks. I have a schedule on Google calendars. If you’re really in a rush, you don’t want to walk halfway across the school to use a bathroom. That could be a pretty stinky situation.”

Emme McGuire, 9 – One item needed to survive at BV | Pencil pouch –

“Definitely a pencil pouch full of pencils because there are so many people who ask you for pencils, and it’s so annoying, especially when you don’t have any.

One Tip to Survive at BV | “Maybe just stay awake. Stay, alert, jot down any notes that you can. Try to make it through the day — maybe get an energy drink or something because it’s really long, but it’s pretty easy.”

“My headphones help me focus in class, and  [I] watch a lot of YouTube videos to understand new concepts.”

One Tip to Survive at BV | “Get to know your teachers. They’ll help you out a lot. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, too. That’s a big one, especially in math. I’d say teachers can help if you’re struggling with a new concept, and teachers are happy to take the time to walk you through that problem.”
